Hiring a photographer in Edinburgh: what to know

Edinburgh has earned its reputation in the Lothians as one of the UK's most-photographed wedding cities, with castle, country-house and Old Town options. Photographers working in Edinburgh are regularly booked at venues like Prestonfield House, The Balmoral and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Around Edinburgh, quotes generally come back at £2,005–£3,500 for a full wedding day. The difference between the low and high end is mostly hours of coverage, second shooter, album/print package and edit turnaround.

For weddings we recommend booking 6–12 months ahead. For portraits and events, 2–4 weeks is usually enough. Winter and mid-week dates in Edinburgh are the sweet spot for availability — and often for price too.

A tip from working pros: name your venue — say it's Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh — up front. It changes kit choices and timings, and quotes come back more accurate. Keep in mind Edinburgh is a premium market, so confirm what's included before comparing quotes on price alone.
