A Magical Elopement Wedding at The Scott Hotel, Edinburgh – Kathy & Charley

There’s something truly enchanting about elopements in Edinburgh, and Kathy & Charley’s intimate wedding at The Scott Hotel, just a stone’s throw from Holyrood Park, was no exception. As their Edinburgh wedding photographer, I had the joy of capturing every heartfelt moment of their day – from the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to their romantic portraits in the hotel’s stunning grounds.

From California to Edinburgh for a Dream Elopement

Kathy & Charley traveled all the way from California to tie the knot in one of Scotland’s most historic and romantic cities. They chose The Scott Hotel, a charming venue with beautiful gardens that offer both elegance and privacy, perfect for a small wedding or elopement.

Their ceremony was led by a celebrant from Aye Do, who crafted a personal and heartfelt service that reflected their story and love for one another. The intimate atmosphere made their vows feel even more special.

A Private Garden Ceremony

The hotel’s garden provided a serene backdrop for the ceremony – private, intimate, and filled with character. It was a wonderful setting for a couple who wanted something meaningful yet simple. As the couple exchanged vows, their closest family and friends gathered to share the moment, creating a warm and personal celebration.

Capturing Magical Memories

After the ceremony, I guided Kathy & Charley through relaxed and natural photography sessions both in the gardens of The Scott Hotel and nearby spots around Holyrood Park. The combination of elegant architecture and lush greenery made for breathtaking backdrops. Their love and laughter shone through in every frame, making the images timeless keepsakes of their Edinburgh wedding.
