Providing wedding photography in edinburgh can be challenging, as anyone with local knowledge of the traffic there will confirm! Parking is limited, roadworks widespread and diversions numerous – all in a city with already busy traffic. Satnav systems become little more than dashboard ornaments for some journeys.
So, when I was approached by Mike and Joanne to cover their wedding photography for the whole day I was presented with a challenge – there would be a total of five venues to cover. Fortunately the couple were well organised and had a minibus hired to ferry guests from place to place and the solution was for me to join them on the journey from the ceremony at Dalmeny Kirk to the photoshoot at the Botanical Gardens then the wedding breakfast at the Grainstore Restaurant and finally to the reception at Orocco Pier in South Queensferry. This left me driving only to the bride’s home and then the church.
Not only were Mike and Joanne well organised, they were also an ideal wedding couple to photograph and the variety of venues provided good opportunities for some lovely images.
Here are just a few from the course of the day.
