Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh - Wedding Photography

It's been a while since my last wedding photography post so I have decided to choose a favourite wedding from this Summer to share with you all. 

In July I was shooting with Richie Laurie Photography at a more unusual location for a wedding - Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, where Julie & Chris were tying the knot. With the spectacular backdrop of Salisbury Crags and the impressive canopy structure, Our Dynamic Earth is a unique venue with a subtle heritage twist. 

We were shooting for a full day here, with the ceremony and reception being entirely at the venue. It was a lovely sunny day, a stroke of luck with the weather, which Richie and I seem to have when we shoot weddings together!

For the best coverage of a wedding day. Richie and I like to shoot using a technique called near and far. A two photographer package that captures every aspect of your day. This is the technique we adopted for Julie & Chris' wedding. While Richie photographed at close range and with interaction with guests, I photographed from a far, capturing the candid moments. Sometimes capturing the best moments of the day. In this case, I was happy with what what was achieved and I don't think anything happened that we missed out on!

I have included a selection of my favourite images from the day in this post. For Richie's gallery of Julie & Chris' big day, please visit this link.

An interesting aspect of weddings at Dynamic Earth is the wedding party and it's guests receive full access to the attractions for their reception. After a lovely humanist ceremony, we had some time to walk around everything on offer, we managed some interesting photographs in some interesting locations, from the cinema to the jungle area!

I enjoyed photographing the wedding at Dynamic Earth, lots going on over a large area, makes it brilliant for photographers to go wild with their creative ideas. A nice change from the usual church grounds and gardens. Also being in the city center, there are lots of options for photos in the surrounding areas. With the picturesque backdrops of Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags not 10 minutes walk away you really are spoilt for choice.

Weddings these days are all about variety, and Dynamic Earth was a venue I could easy get used to photographing at regularly. I hope future weddings prove as interesting as this venue was!
