A Wedding at Virgin Hotels Edinburgh – Lynsey & Paul

What an incredible day this was right in the heart of Edinburgh. Lynsey and Paul celebrated in serious style at the beautiful Virgin Hotels Edinburgh, surrounded by all their favourite people. From the minute I arrived, I knew this was going to be a special one — full of emotion, stunning backdrops, and that unmistakable Edinburgh energy.

The day began with Lynsey and Paul getting ready separately in the hotel’s gorgeous suites. Virgin Hotels Edinburgh has this perfect mix of luxury and warmth, and it really set the tone for the morning — calm, joyful, and full of anticipation. Once both were ready, we headed up for their first look on the terrace, where Edinburgh Castle stood proudly in the background. It was one of those moments that feels cinematic without needing any staging… just pure, honest emotion.

From there it was time for the ceremony in Greyfriars Hall, a breathtaking room filled with character, soft light, and that unmistakable sense of occasion. After the “I do’s,” everyone spilled out into the courtyard for canapés and drinks — the perfect little pocket of fresh air and celebration right in the city centre.

As the afternoon rolled on, Lynsey and Paul took a stroll through the Grassmarket, greeted by cheers, claps, and smiles from passers-by. It’s one of my favourite things about filming weddings in Edinburgh — the city joins in. There’s something magical about newlyweds walking through cobbled streets with the castle towering above them, moments unfolding naturally.

Back at the hotel, the reception kicked off with a huge, raucous welcome before speeches, dinner, and dancing. Virgin Hotels Edinburgh transforms beautifully for evening celebrations — warm lighting, great energy, and the perfect atmosphere for a proper party. And Lynsey and Paul’s guests definitely delivered on that front.

As a wedding videographer in Edinburgh, days like this are a dream to capture. Virgin Hotels Edinburgh is one of those venues that gives you everything — stunning spaces, iconic views, and a layout that lets the day flow naturally. And with a couple as fun and easy-going as Lynsey and Paul, the whole thing came together perfectly.

Lynsey and Paul, what a day. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of it.
