Fern Photography

Fern Photography is a specialist wedding photography studio based in Edinburgh. Since 2011 Dan and Matt have built a practice around storytelling — creating natural, authentic wedding images that reflect the real emotions, people and moments of your day. With more than 500 weddings between them, they position themselves as experts in wedding photography while keeping the whole experience relaxed and personable. Why choose Fern Photography? Their work is rooted in a documentary, story-led approach. They prioritise connection: getting to know you early, including a pre-wedding session so portraits feel effortless on the day. The team blends in like friends — dressing and behaving like guests — which helps everyone relax and lets genuine moments surface. The result is wedding photography that feels lived-in, candid and quietly beautiful rather than staged for a portfolio. How they work: the process is collaborative and straightforward. First contact leads to a friendly call or meeting to learn about your plans and build a timeline that ensures the moments you care about are captured. Pre-wedding sessions are included to familiarise you with their style and to take the pressure out of portrait time. On the wedding day they focus on unobtrusive coverage, photographing preparations, ceremony, portraits and the celebrations with warmth and discretion. After the day their workflow includes careful backup and editing so your images are safe and delivered with care. A note about video and portraits: Fern Photography’s core expertise is wedding photography. They also offer wedding films and include low-impact, intimate filming options (including Super 8 analogue) for couples who want a nostalgic or cinematic complement to their images. The pre-wedding session doubles as a relaxed portrait session, helping even camera-shy couples achieve natural engagement and bridal photos. Based in Edinburgh and used to photographing city elopements, intimate ceremonies and full-day weddings across Scotland, Fern Photography pairs local knowledge with a human, honest approach. If you want specialist wedding photography that centres your story, captures authentic moments and feels like having a friend behind the camera, Fern Photography offers a trusted, experienced choice in Edinburgh.
