I’ve photographed over 60 weddings at Edinburgh City Chambers - more than any other venue in the city - and no two have ever looked the same. Here’s my insider guide to the three ceremony rooms, how the day flows, and how to get beautiful, relaxed photos in the heart of Edinburgh.

Why I believe wedding photographers shouldn’t take over the day. A relaxed, documentary approach to photographing weddings in Edinburgh - focused on presence, atmosphere, and the moments couples don’t even realise are happening.

Some weddings don’t need much to make them special. Just the right people, a beautiful space, and a couple who are completely at ease with each other.

Niamh and Kieran’s Edinburgh City Chambers wedding was exactly that.

A relaxed and stylish Rossie on the Earn wedding, full of beautiful light, thoughtful details, and golden hour portraits. Ciara and Chris planned a day that felt effortless and joyful - exactly the kind of wedding I love to photograph!

Susannah and Connor’s relaxed wedding at The Free Company in Balerno featured an outdoor ceremony, beautiful food, candid moments and dreamy sunset portraits.

A relaxed, joy-filled wedding for Ian & Tim at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. From getting ready together at Malmaison Leith to a redwood forest ceremony, golden-hour portraits in the Gardens and a brilliant party to finish - a day full of connection, kindness and very good vibes.

From getting ready in the west end to golden hour at the canal, this Engine Works wedding had colour, music, confetti and the happiest atmosphere. A proper Glasgow celebration.

Emma & Rory’s Carlowrie Castle wedding was a joyful mix of colour, creativity and connection. With pastel florals by Fruit Salad Flowers, hand-stitched details, and the most epic confetti shot, it was a day filled with artistry and personality.

An elegant, stylish, and intimate celebration in the heart of Edinburgh - Jet + Aleisha tied the knot at City Chambers before a chic reception at Gleneagles Townhouse, complete with vintage Cadillac rides, wild florals, and plenty of joy.

A modern, pink-filled wedding at Broxmouth Courtyard with elegant details, a heartfelt ceremony, beachside portraits, and a joyous reception filled with Taylor Swift references.

John & Jonathan’s wedding at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh was the perfect mix of elegance and ease. From getting ready together in New Town with champagne and their groomspeople, to an epic confetti moment and relaxed garden portraits, their day was filled with style, connection, and pure joy.

Hannah and Ross threw the most gorgeous wedding at Drumtochty Castle - think stylish details, a sun soaked ceremony at the estate’s chapel, their adorable dog Teddy, and a golden hour wander by the lake. Elegant but full of fun, with that perfect Scottish castle backdrop. I’d be back at this venue in a heartbeat.

Allyship in weddings isn’t performative - it’s in the bones of my business. Here’s what inclusivity looks like at Lou Rob Photo and why it matters.

Our family adventure across Australia reminded me why I love photography — imperfect, candid moments that tell real stories. Here’s what it taught me.
