Principal hotel Edinburgh Wedding Photos | Newsomes

Last Updated on 02/12/2020 by Armands Sprogis

Hello all. Wedding season is officially open. I was super excited to kick off this Principal hotel Edinburgh wedding. I have never been here before. Had a fair bit of planning in my head and looked forward to try some new shots too.

Where to start on Aga and Mike. First, we met at the wedding show. Guys booked me then and I invited them for a tester shoot. You really get to know people when you photograph them. You see all their quirky sides. These two were just giggling away. Oh my god, we had so much fun :)

I loved the fact that they connected so well. They knew how to pull the best out of each and the overload of smiles were coming very naturally. I love how Aga scrunching her nose when she has lots of laughs. Mike loves supporting Aga and I think no matter what life will kick at them, they are an awesome team to tackle it.

We had to do a bit of planning. If you are after some shots with foliage background, you have to go to the Queens street gardens. I was a bit concerned on how much time we have and if we would be able to do everything I planned.

Those of you who hire me, know that my mind can easily have a creative burst. I love to create little moments and capture those big grand images too. So I have to be super focused on the day to make sure I’m on time and deliver the best experience for couples.

Planning your wedding photography at Principal hotel Edinburgh?

Here is few key facts what I loved about this venue.

– It is Edinburgh centre venue and you can capture some city action. Walking on streets, have fun images on traffic lights etc

– The option of both city and garden too

– During summer month it would be amazing to get skyline image up in Forth View Suite. Amazing backdrop.

– Staff very much on the ball and easy going.

– Main room, of course, has amazing wow factor.

Few things to keep in mind. With so many options, you can easily be sidetracked and miss timeline deadlines. You have to be focused. For images in front of hotel, you have to be aware of stopping taxis and it can take a while to get images done.

    Graeme and Karolina got married back in Poland, but unfortunately weather was not at the best and they didn’t get any outdoors photos. They came back to Edinburgh and decided to have nice photos around town. First I met Graeme at one of my previous Edinburgh weddings and he asked me if I could create some images for them.
    I really like idea of no stress walking around town shots. Give s time to stop, think and just enjoy easy. Guys sent me a list of locations they would like to be photographed and I went for little scouting and thinking. We had few old town locations and Crags.

In spring time I went for a scouting and I wasn’t sure how this will look like on wedding day. Guys did absolutely gorgeous job and everything was very well taken care of. Beautiful decorations with flowers, vases and small details trickled around the venue. Thank you florist and wonderful staff at Dunglass. Hats off. 

  • Dundas castle wedding photos for Mr and Mrs Love

    It was my first time getting the opportunity to photograph at the incredible Dundas Castle, just outside of Edinburgh. The castle is magnificent – it looks like it’s straight from the pages of a fairytale. The castle has a lot of history too, with parts of the building dating back to 15th century, which makes it a treat to take photographs in. My favourite location was the pool room. As soon as I walked in, I knew I had to get a shot of the men in there, and in the evening Daniela and I returned with Lauren and Martin to take some moody, romantic shots!
