Wedding Photography at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh

St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh is a beautiful and popular choice for couples looking for a wedding ceremony in the heart of the city. At Kris Soul Photography, we have photographed many weddings at St Mary’s over the years, from larger wedding celebrations to intimate ceremonies and elopements.

Every wedding is different, and we understand that not every couple wants a large wedding photography package or hours of formal photographs.

St Mary’s is particularly popular for smaller weddings and elopements, and we offer small, flexible wedding photography packages, especially for couples who mainly want coverage of their ceremony followed by a relaxed photography session afterwards.

Our aim is always to capture the day naturally, without making the photography feel like a performance.

Beautiful Photography Inside and Around the Cathedral

St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral offers a wonderful setting for wedding photography. The beautiful architecture inside the cathedral provides a stunning backdrop for photographs, while the gardens and surrounding area give us the opportunity to create more relaxed and natural images after the ceremony.

After the wedding ceremony, we can take a short walk around the cathedral and nearby areas for a mixture of:

Natural couple photographs

Relaxed and informal moments

A few traditional family photographs

Wedding portraits around the cathedral

Candid photographs of the day

Beautiful photographs in the gardens

For couples having a small wedding or elopement, this can be the perfect way to have a collection of meaningful wedding photographs without needing a full-day package.


Experienced and Discreet Wedding Photography

Having photographed many weddings at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, we understand the importance of being respectful and discreet, particularly during a wedding ceremony.

Our approach is calm and unobtrusive. We don't want the photography to take over your wedding day. Instead, we work quietly in the background, allowing you to enjoy the ceremony while we capture the important moments naturally.

Our experience photographing weddings in Edinburgh and across Scotland also means we can help couples make the most of their time after the ceremony, suggesting suitable locations and helping the photography session run smoothly.
