Edinburgh Wedding Photographers | Claire & Jonathon
Hi, we’re Claire and Jonathon, the award-winning team behind Love Wedding Photos And Film. From our base here in Edinburgh, we photograph weddings across the city, the Lothians, and throughout Scotland.
We’ve learned that the most potent images aren’t staged—they’re the real, unplanned, and emotion-filled moments. Our passion is documentary wedding photography: finding the hidden stories you might miss, while ensuring we capture those classic portraits you’ll be proud to hang on your wall.
Unobtrusive Photography (With a Cinematic Add-On). Our primary craft is creating world-class wedding photography. However, we understand you may want the key moments captured on film without hiring a separate crew. As award-winning Edinburgh Wedding Videographers, we can include a short, cinematic highlight film alongside your photos, ensuring one consistent style and one friendly team. You can view our full wedding films portfolio here.
We’re not just suppliers; we’re your partners; a calming presence and a helping hand (we’ve fixed more than a few buttonholes!). We know the local venues inside out, which helps plan a day that’s relaxed, fun, and perfectly you.

Kind Words
Zoe and BillyJonathon and Claire are the loviest couple.. from our very first communication they made us feel special and were so interested in who we are as people! They tailored everything just for us, and had they not radiated such beauty and kindness, we wouldn’t have even known they were there… and for two people like us who HATE getting photos taken, we had a great time and felt so comfortable!
We got married on 31st December, and they gave up their own celebrations with their families to help us capture ours...
We truly hit the jackpot, and wouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!
Please don’t pass up the opportunity on having these two look after your special day! Very trustworthy and fantastic value for money.
Helen and DanielJonathon and Claire - we cannot thank you both enough for being the best - from start to finish, it has been a dream to work with you both! If you are reading this and considering booking - DO IT!!
Thank you both SO MUCH for everything, we absolutely love our wedding pictures and how beautifully you have captured our day and the memories we’ll have forever - we are still so blown away by how perfectly everything turned out and on an absolute high!
We also wanted to say how grateful we are to have had you both at our wedding. You were just such a joy to be around and put us both at ease.
You got us and the vibe of the day so perfectly, and our family and friends have also said how brilliant you both were! Thank you so much!!! Helen & Daniel xxx

Edinburgh Wedding Photography: Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if it rains on our wedding day in Edinburgh?
Ah, the famous Scottish weather! Honestly, a little Edinburgh mist or a passing shower often adds a beautiful, romantic atmosphere to your photos. We know all the best ‘rain-safe’ spots—from the elegant arches of the Signet Library to the grand interior of Mansfield Traquair. We’ll keep you dry, relaxed, and looking fabulous regardless of the skies!
Do you have experience with intimate Edinburgh elopements and City Chamber weddings?
Absolutely! We have a real soft spot for smaller celebrations. Whether you’re planning a secret escape for two or a chic ceremony at the Edinburgh City Chambers, we offer tailored packages to suit your day. We love capturing the quiet, candid moments that make these intimate days so special—check out our Edinburgh elopement guide for some of our favourite local hidden gems.
We’re a bit camera-shy—how do you help us feel relaxed for our portraits?
Most couples tell us they’re nervous about being photographed, and that is completely normal! Our approach is natural and documentary-led, focusing on genuine connection rather than stiff poses. To help you get ‘camera-ready’ before the big day, we highly recommend an engagement photoshoot. It’s a wonderful way to wander through some of Edinburgh’s most Instagrammable locations together and see how much fun the process can actually be!
How long will it take to see our final wedding photos?
We know how excited you’ll be to relive the magic! We typically share a few ‘sneak peeks’ within a few days of your wedding so you can share them with friends and family. Your full, beautifully edited gallery is usually ready within 4 weeks (often in 7 days), depending on the season. After that, we can even help you design a wedding album to preserve your memories in a stunning, physical heirloom.
Can you recommend the best photo locations in Edinburgh for our couple shots?
We certainly can! Edinburgh is a photographer’s dream, and we know the city inside out. From the historic charm of Victoria Street and the Royal Mile to the epic views at Calton Hill or Arthur’s Seat, we’ll guide you to the spots that match your style. Take a look at our curated list of the best photo locations in Edinburgh for some inspiration for your own wedding gallery.
