Wedding photographer in Edinburgh
Behind the camera
Calm in the chaos. Camera in hand.
I’m Claire, an Edinburgh wedding photographer with more than 350 weddings behind me. I’ll guide you when it helps, blend into the day when it doesn’t, and make sure the photography never takes you away from the people you love.
You don’t need to know how to stand or what to do with your hands. I’ll give you a little direction, then leave room for you to be yourselves. There’s time for portraits, and just as much care for the hugs, laughter and everything happening around you.
Natural Wedding Photography in Edinburgh & Across Scotland
Wedding photographs that feel the way the day actually felt — the big moments, the quiet ones in between, and the people you love most.
Natural, relaxed and documentary, for couples in Edinburgh and across Scotland who’d rather live their day than pose through it.
Castle wedding, city celebration or an intimate Scottish elopement, I’ll photograph it honestly and without getting in the way.

A wedding day doesn’t hold still, and most of what you’ll want to remember happens in between the parts anyone planned. Your dad going quiet when he sees you. The friend laughing through the speeches. The two of you finding thirty seconds alone.
I stay out of the way and let it happen, stepping in only where it helps: a little guidance with the group shots, a short wander for the two of you if the light’s worth it. What you’re left with is the whole day, honestly told, and no memory of ever waiting on the photographer.

How it works
Five steps, no pressure.
Chapter 01 / 05
Tell me about your day
Send me a message with the date, the place and whatever you’ve worked out so far. Even “we’ve booked nothing yet” is a fine place to start.
Chapter 02 / 05
It’s yours
If it feels right on both sides, I’ll hold the date for you and send everything over in writing. Once that’s done, it’s yours and you can stop worrying about the photography.
Chapter 03 / 05
We plan it together
Closer to the time we’ll go through the shape of the day, the people who matter most and the group shots you actually want. No lists of poses, just enough of a plan that nothing gets missed.
Chapter 04 / 05
The day itself
On the day I’m simply there, following it as it happens and keeping out of the way. You get on with getting married, and I take care of the rest.
Chapter 05 / 05
You get your day back
Then your photographs arrive: the whole day, in order, exactly as it felt. The bits you saw, and all the bits you were too busy being happy to notice.
Where I work
Scotland wedding venues I know well
Based in West Lothian, photographing weddings and elopements across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife, Glasgow and the Highlands. Knowing a venue means knowing where the light falls and where the quiet moments happen.
