Your Trusted Edinburgh Wedding Photographer
With over a decade of experience, I specialise in capturing the emotional essence of weddings through a candid, documentary-style approach. Based in Edinburgh, my work focuses on preserving authentic moments with creativity and precision, having documented more than 200 weddings since establishing my business in 2014. I prioritise a relaxed, professional manner to ensure clients feel at ease while delivering high-quality images that reflect their unique story. My commitment to rapid turnaround means edited photos are typically ready within three working days, often sooner, with secure online access provided for convenient sharing. Utilising top-tier Sony camera systems and advanced lighting techniques, I combine technical excellence with a discreet presence to capture both spontaneous interactions and elegant posed shots. Public Liability Insurance and Disclosure Scotland PVG accreditation provide additional reassurance, while my local knowledge extends across Edinburgh and surrounding regions including Fife, the Scottish Borders, and Stirling.

Lee took photos of my wife and I at our wedding on Monday 30th July and he was amazing! He knew how to catch those natural moments as well as get everyone in line for group shots. He had some great ideas for photos, even performing balancing acts on top of his suitcase to get a good shot and they all turned out perfect! Thank you Lee.

Highly recommended - Lee managed to get some brilliant photos of my girls. I cant believe he managed to get them to smile, pose and not hide from the camera far less get such great photos of them. Thank you

We used Our Dream Photography for our wedding in August 2016. What an amazing photographer. So so very helpful, professional and relaxed as well. He put us all at ease. All our guests commented on how good the photographer was. The pictures are spectacular and just as we had asked (a mixture of the formal type and more relaxed ones capturing the mood and happiness of the day). We are so happy with them and so easy to access the website.
Fantastic value for money. Cant thank them enough for helping us capture our very wonderful day. What I would say, dont look anywhere else for a photographer you will have found one in Our Dream Photography.

We would highly recommend Our Dream Photography. If you want someone who is extremely professional, has great vision, and so very friendly then Lee is definitely your man! Lee was very patient with us while taking prep shots, he made everyone feel really at ease and comfortable whilst capturing our special day. All of our guests commented on how fantastic he was and both Mark and I thought he truly he was.

We had a fabulous wedding at Borthwick Castle and Lee captured the spirit of the day with great photos, both formal and informal, taking into account all our guests as well as the wedding party. Lee is a dream to work with, very relaxed and put everyone as ease so he could bring out the best photo opportunities possible. I would highly recommend Our Dream Photography for any event. Thank you Lee!!

Thank you so much Lee for being our wedding photographer. We love the photos and think you were amazing on the day. Chilled out and organised whilst still managing to go almost unnoticed. Also thank you for managing to capture the specific shots we had asked for in our couple portraits. Would highly recommend you!

Lee is great. He photographed our wedding a couple of weeks ago and we are very happy with the results. He has a lovely manner, was able to manage our guests, get shots that he knew would look good, and also go along with some of our suggestions to see if they'd work out. Multiple guests commented on how great he'd been. We will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.
