A Magical Winter Wedding at Edinburgh Castle | St Margaret’s Chapel Ceremony & Castle Reception
Edinburgh Wedding Photographer – Kris Soul Photography
Some wedding days just stay with you forever — and this beautiful winter wedding at Edinburgh Castle is one of them.
From the intimate ceremony at St Margaret’s Chapel to drinks and celebrations inside the castle itself, this was the kind of day that reminds us exactly why we love being wedding photographers in Edinburgh.
A Ceremony at St Margaret’s Chapel, Edinburgh Castle
St Margaret’s Chapel is the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, and it’s hard to imagine a more meaningful or atmospheric place to say “I do.” Tucked away inside the iconic walls of Edinburgh Castle, it offers a truly intimate setting — quiet, historic, and deeply romantic.
As the bride walked in, there was an instant sense of calm and joy. Despite the classic Scottish winter weather outside, the chapel felt warm, peaceful, and full of emotion. The smiles on both the bride and groom’s faces never faded — one of those couples whose happiness is simply contagious.
A Relaxed Wedding Day in the Heart of Edinburgh
What made this wedding so special wasn’t just the location — it was the atmosphere.
It was an amazing, relaxed day from start to finish. No rushing. No pressure. Just genuine moments, laughter, and connection. Even the rain couldn’t stop us from creating beautiful, emotional photographs — in fact, it added to the magic.
Edinburgh in winter has its own mood: soft light, dramatic skies, historic stone, and timeless textures. Rainy days don’t ruin weddings here — they enhance them. The castle walls, misty air, and winter tones created a cinematic backdrop that made every image feel natural and romantic.
Drinks & Reception at Edinburgh Castle
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed drinks and celebrations inside Edinburgh Castle, one of the most iconic wedding venues in Scotland. Few places in the world offer views, history, and atmosphere like this — and it made the reception feel truly unforgettable.
The couple stayed relaxed, present, and fully in the moment all day long — exactly how a wedding day should feel.
