Warmth and happiness, candidly captured. 

EDINBURGH WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Wedding Photography

I’m an Edinburgh based photographer and I create images that are fun, authentic, and full of life.

My approach is low key and unobtrusive. I won’t force you into cheesy poses or boss your guests around. Instead, I’ll focus on capturing the real, joyful moments as they happen: the laughter, the happy tears and the little stolen glances. 

Whether it’s a quiet ceremony in a hidden Edinburgh spot, a secret elopement, or a fun beach wedding. I’ll tell the story of your day exactly as it unfolds, keeping it candid and relaxed.

The result? A collection of images that let you relive the warmth, happiness and joy of your day every time you look at them. Photos that feel like you, your loved ones, and your celebration – genuine emotion over perfection.

Weddings

If you’re planning a bigger wedding, my full day package is designed to cover every moment, from the excitement of the preparations to the dancing and celebrations at the end of the night, and everything in between! This package ensures that no part of your day is missed, capturing all the emotion, laughter, and fun from start to finish.

If you’d prefer coverage to start a little later in the day, my half day package is a great option. It’s perfect for couples who want to focus on the key moments, such as the ceremony, portraits, and reception, while still getting all the images that matter most to you.

And if your plans don’t quite fit either package, I’m happy to offer custom coverage tailored to your day. I’ll work with you to create a package that fits your day perfectly.

Small Weddings and Elopements

If you’re planning a small, intimate wedding or elopement in Edinburgh, I’m here to help you capture it beautifully. My approach is all about focusing on the real, joyful moments that make your day uniquely yours.

I offer packages specifically for smaller weddings and elopements, with coverage from two to four hours. This gives us time to capture all the important moments without feeling rushed. Even in a shorter session, I’ll focus on telling the full story of your day, from the big emotional moments to the little details that make it yours.

Edinburgh is a truly magical city for intimate weddings and elopements. From cobbled streets and historic buildings to green spaces, scenic viewpoints, and hidden corners, the city offers countless beautiful backdrops for your photos. Whether you dream of a romantic ceremony in a secret courtyard, portraits on the iconic Royal Mile, or a celebration with your closest friends in a charming garden, I can help you choose the perfect location to match your style and the mood you want to capture.

Whether you’re planning an Edinburgh city elopement or a small wedding elsewhere in Scotland, I can travel to help capture your day in the most beautiful, stress-free way. 


“We wanted to feel “ourselves” in our wedding pictures and that’s exactly what the photos portray… all captured through the experienced and beautiful eye of Rachel’s camera!”

Engagement and pre wedding shoots

An engagement or pre wedding session will give you a set of photos that you can use in the run-up to your big day, as well a chance to find out how I work and time to get used to being photographed together.

Whether you love green spaces, beaches, or prefer dramatic views, Edinburgh will have a location that suits you and fits the mood you’d like to capture. 

If you’re planning a proposal, please get in touch – I can help you to plan the perfect engagement! 


“Both of us are awkward posing in front of a camera, but Rachel made it easy. She was very friendly and good-natured and we instantly felt comfortable”

Leah & Andrew

The photos are absolutely beautiful – you have really captured the magic and energy of the day, which is exactly what we were hoping for!

Most couples want some group photos and I’m happy to do them. I do recommend keeping it to around 5 or 6 groups, so you can get on with enjoying your day and I can focus on the candid shots. 

I’m very much led by you on this one. Some couples want to spend a significant amount of time on their portraits and others don’t want to leave their reception for more than 10 minutes or so. It’s totally up to you, but I would recommend taking a little bit of time out of your day to get some nice photos of the two of you together. 

Your print ready (high-resolution jpgs) will be uploaded to a password protected gallery. You’ll be able to download them from here and share the gallery with your friends and family. 

When I edit a shoot I’ll select the images that work well in black & white and convert them during post-production. Some images will work better in colour and some are better in black & white. Sometimes an image will work both ways!

I spend a lot of time editing my photos to a high standard, so galleries are usually ready to view within four weeks for small weddings and elopements to eight weeks for a full day wedding.

Yes! My gorgeous fine art albums are supplied by Yorkshire based Folio albums. You can design and order your own album through your gallery and I also offer an album design service.  Albums start at £450 and I also offer a package that includes an album.
