Bring Blue Sky to your wedding day

A bride in a white dress walks down a wooden staircase in a historic building with large stained-glass windows during a dreamy Dundas Castle summer wedding.

Thanks so much for being here. We realise that choosing the right photographer for your celebration is as important as choosing the right wedding outfit.

As your wedding storytellers we need to get to know you. You’re always the big-shots – not us.

We want to know what’s important to you (and who’s important to you) so we can capture the photographs that matter to you, rather than simply something for our portfolio. These are the  photographs that will travel with you for ever and become part of your shared family history.

Are you Blue Sky through and through?

No weddings are ever the same, but over the years we’ve learnt the hallmarks of a Blue Sky couple, so if these resonate then we could just be “the ones” for your big day…

  • You believe timeless, forever photography trumps trendy every time
  • Photography is more than just a tick on your wedding spreadsheet – it matters to you
  • You’ll jump with us at the chance to chase amazing sunlight or dance on misty mountains
  • Your wedding plans are as much about your guests as you and your other half
  • You believe in printed photographs – having a wedding album matters as much to you as it does to us
  • You see us as Niels and Alie rather than just “the wedding photographers”

If that sounds like you then let’s arrange a discovery call so you can meet us and so we can learn what you’re dreaming up for your wedding day.

Big Blue Sky love

How much do we need to invest?

Your wedding will be one of a kind. We’ve created wedding photography collections based on exactly what matters to our couples – these include two photographers as standard and then part or full day coverage as you prefer. As with all things Blue Sky we are more than happy to create something bespoke for you and as we get to know you we’ll realise what’s important to you because we know one size doesn’t fit all. So please just ask.

How do we Book?

If you think we’re the photographers for you then we’ll send you out our wedding agreement. At this stage we’ll ask for the £500 booking fee to confirm your date. And if we’ve not met you in person already we’ll make sure we’ve got a date in the diary to catch-up and get to know what you’d both love from your wedding photography. You can email us at hello@blueskyphotography.co.uk or give us a call on 0131 447 1100

Of course – just get in touch here with your wedding details including date and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Click on this link for our contact form.

We take payment in two key stages; a booking fee and a  pre-wedding payment (normally 3-4 weeks before your wedding day)

This breaks down as a £500 booking fee; and your pre-wedding balance (which will vary depending on your option selected)

If you upgrade later to a larger album or add on any other matted prints then that is simply chargeable at that point.

We take payment by BACS and debit or credit card. All our charges are inclusive of VAT at the current rate.

Whether you have a gift list, or are simply letting guests pick their own presents, adding wedding photography gift vouchers is a fantastic way of having even more in the pot to spend on a larger album, or something  beautiful for your wall.

Once you’ve booked us we can give you details of how this works.

We’re delighted you want to book straight away. Next steps are let’s have a chat (email us at hello@blueskyphotography.co.uk or give us a call on 0131 447 1100) and find out more about your wedding day. Then we’ll send you our wedding agreement and get your date booked in.

Tell us a bit more about how Blue Sky Photography works…

Whether you’ve got your wedding day all planned out, or you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to help. We’ve got a fabulous trusted book of suppliers and our unflappable nature means that nothing phases us. So you can literally throw anything at us and we’ll help however we can. You can have a look at our favourite venues page, or search our blog for more inspiration and to see real life weddings

We know that family and friends are everything and while we all love cracking candid photographs, the photographs we know you’ll treasure for all time will be your organised family and friends group photographs. We’ll work with you to create a list in advance so it’s super slick. And if you’ve ever witnessed us in action at a wedding you’ll know we can nail group photographs in record time so that everyone enjoys it and has plenty mingle time (call it a super-power!)

We love the weather – fair and extreme. It’s what your day is and we’re more than happy to work inside and out. We always have a plan for wet days as well as dry and have the skill and appropriate kit to help us work in different lighting conditions, regardless of the weather.We’re up for getting wet if you are!

We love travelling to different wedding locations across the country – it’s one of the joys of our job.We have an inclusive 50 mile allowance from the studio address at 6A New Mart Road, EH14 1RL . Anything over-and-above this is simply chargeable at our mileage rate which is 60p per mile.

What happens after our wedding?

We know everyone’s talking about before your wedding day, but what about afterwards… how do you make your photographs one to life? All of our wedding options include a design consultation after your wedding. This basically means we spoil you with your own movie screening of your wedding and then help you plan your album and wall art. All of our wedding options include an album and frame-worthy mounted prints so this helps lots.

We also think the worst idea is to receive an email link to your wedding photographs and have no idea where to start. Part of our job is to help you bring them to life so they last for generations.

All of our albums are handmade by Queensberry and are just beautiful. Albums come in all shapes and sizes and prices start at £1400. When we meet up we can show you all the styles and you can pick your favourite. To be honest there’s no wrong choice. We can also help with gift vouchers if you want to add any to your wedding list as your family and friends will love being able to help contribute to something as meaningful as your wedding album.

For all of our wedding options we include the social media files as we know our couple love to share. Whatever you choose to add on for your wall or your album will come with the matching high resolution files. We always start with print first as we’re the experts at bringing your photographs to life.

Many of couples love displaying their photographs in their homes and we’ve lots of options we can show you, One of the big advantages of being studio-based photographers is we have curated our product offering so we can help with framing for the wall and the bedside table.

We include frame-ready mounted prints with all of our options and you can choose to display them all in your own home or gift to parents as you prefer.

With every option we’ll send you some social media previews within 72 hours of your big day that you can share with friends and family.
We’ll also arrange a date with you at your pre-wedding meeting for you to see the complete story of your day – this is likely to be around 4-6 weeks after your wedding.
