Real Life Wedding: The Balmoral Hotel


When you’ve already fallen in love with The Balmoral Hotel, why would you get married anywhere else?

It’s the perfect Edinburgh city centre venue: castle views, nestled between the train station and the old town; and of course Victorian architecture to die for.

For Diane & Chris it was the obvious choice. I mean these two even have their own seats by the bar! Classical and romantic with more than a good ladleful of fun, their wedding was a blast from beginning to end.

Thank you Mr and Mrs Wright for choosing us. Something tells us we’re going to keep in touch!

The Balmoral Hotel

Did you know the Balmoral Hotel was the very first place in Edinburgh that Blue Sky Photography photographed a wedding? True fact. All the way back in the giddy heights of 2003. And we love the hotel as much now as we did then. Truth is we probably love it even more. Because since then we have discovered so many hidden nooks and crannies. Since then we have photographed so many incredible events, from weddings for two, to parties for hundreds. And for each and ever one the Balmoral Hotel (and the fabulous team) delivers on style, substance and something special that you feel from the minute you push those gold revolving doors.

A Christmas wedding at the Signet Library is the stuff dreams are made of. Especially when Planet Flowers added their festive finesse, crafting tables bedecked with Christmas-clad candelabras, brilliant book baubles, and gilded tomes as table names. The table plan, piled high with oversized books and quills, was nothing short of storybook perfection.

Real Life Wedding: Dundas Castle

The vibes of Steph and Gav’s Dundas Castle Christmas wedding were distinctly winter snuggles combined with overtones of party (Solo Sax anyone) and of course some festive treats. This pair met at a Burns’ Supper so Roddy the Piper delivering the Address to the Haggis was a must.
