Dogs on the Wedding Day – Capturing Beautiful Moments with Your Best Friend

Weddings are about love, family, and the moments that truly matter. For many couples, their dog isn’t just a pet – they’re family. At Kris Soul Photography, we absolutely love when dogs are part of the wedding day, and we’ve had the joy of photographing many unforgettable weddings where four-legged friends stole the show.

Based in Edinburgh, we deliver wedding photography all across Scotland, and we’re proudly known for being extremely dog-friendly. If your dog is part of your love story, we know exactly how to capture that bond in a natural, relaxed, and beautiful way.

Why Dogs Make Weddings Even More Special

Dogs bring something truly magical to a wedding day. They calm nerves, create laughter, and add a personal touch that no decoration ever could. We’ve seen dogs:

• Walk down the aisle with the wedding rings

• Join the couple for portraits and group photos

• Wear adorable outfits, bow ties, or floral collars

• Greet guests and soak up all the love

• Sit proudly beside the bride and groom during the ceremony

Every dog has their own personality, and we make sure that shines through in your wedding photographs.

We’re Experienced, Patient, and Truly Love Working with Dogs

At Kris Soul Photography, we don’t just tolerate dogs – we genuinely love working with them. We understand that dogs can be unpredictable, excited, or a little nervous in new environments. That’s why we work calmly, patiently, and always at the dog’s pace.

We know:

• How to get a dog’s attention naturally

• When to give them space

• How to capture spontaneous, joyful moments

• How to keep things stress-free for both the dog and the couple

Some of the most emotional and fun images we’ve ever delivered include dogs simply being themselves.

Real Wedding Stories with Dogs

A Ring Bearer with a Wagging Tail

At a beautiful outdoor wedding in the Scottish countryside, the couple’s golden retriever proudly carried the rings down the aisle. He paused halfway to greet guests (of course!), creating laughter and relaxed smiles everywhere. The resulting photos were full of genuine joy and became some of the couple’s favourite images from the day.

Comfort and Love During Portraits

One Edinburgh wedding couple told us they felt most relaxed when their rescue dog joined them during portraits. Standing together with their dog between them, the moment felt natural and intimate. Those photographs perfectly reflected their relationship and the life they’ve built together.

Dressed to Impress

We’ve photographed dogs in bow ties, tartan accessories, and floral wreaths. One small terrier even matched the groom’s kilt. These details not only look fantastic in photos but also make your wedding story completely unique.
