Gary & Louis | Royal Mile Edinburgh

A relaxed same sex wedding in Edinburgh’s historic old town

Gary & Louis were married during the height of Edinburgh’s silly season (August!) in the charming Sandeman House Garden, a hidden gem tucked just off the Royal Mile. The ceremony itself was filled with warmth and emotion, beautifully led by their friend Jenny, who also created the lovely floral arrangements. The personal touches throughout the day made it feel incredibly special, the couple’s friends and family were fully involved, and every detail reflected Gary & Louis’s personalities and relationship.

Gary & Louis’ wedding was lighthearted, fun, and completely unpretentious. There were so many little moments that brought laughter and joy, whether it was sharing jokes with guests, celebrating with hugs, or enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of their secret garden venue.

Small weddings in Edinburgh are such a joy to photograph. The intimate setting of Sandeman House Garden meant that every glance, laugh, and tear could be captured naturally. From candid moments before the ceremony to quiet, meaningful exchanges during the vows, the day was full of authentic, joyful moments that truly showcased their love.

If you’re planning an intimate wedding in Edinburgh, I’d love to help you capture the joy, laughter, and love of your day in a natural and authentic way.
