About McCourt Photography

We are a husband and wife wedding photography team, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, but happy to travel!. We focus on a candid documentary style of wedding photography, trying to be as unobtrusive as possible, while capturing every emotion as it unfolds.

Our intention is to craft a visual story of your wedding day, ensuring that every image transports you back to the emotions you felt at the time.

Being a husband and wife team, we are able to capture more angles and perspectives than a single wedding photographer. We work together in unison to make sure no moment goes uncaptured. Ensuring every emotion is preserved.

We also try to streamline our process from the first contact to put our couples at ease. We understand how stressful planning a wedding can be, so we do everything we can to make the photography side of it as painless as possible.

Please have a browse through our portfolio and get in touch if you like what you see!

Your Dream Wedding Captured by McCourt Photography

At McCourt Photography, we take pride in preserving every magical aspect of your wedding day with images that feel both fresh and timeless. Being a husband and wife team, we know first hand how important the photographs from your wedding day are.

Wedding Photographer in Edinburgh

We are Edinburgh based wedding photographers. However, we offer our services all over Scotland and are willing to travel even further for the right wedding!.

We are happy to travel up to 60 miles from Edinburgh without any additional travel fees. We would just charge a small fee for anything a little further afield.

Our Wedding Photography Approach

Our focus is on candid wedding photography, capturing the day as it unfolds naturally. However, we also understand the importance of those big impact shots, so we do offer an optional couples session to get those banger shots that you can hang on your wall. Usually this would happen after the group pictures, we find our couples find it quite relaxing getting away from the chaos for 15 minutes to spend a few intimate moments together and get some amazing photos in the process.

We believe that the wedding isn't about the photos. The photos are about the wedding! We want to be as unobtrusive as possible, documenting the day for you so you can remember the day as it was, rather than the whole day being a photo shoot that you happen to get married at.

We do our best to maintain a high level of consistency with our wedding photography. We try and edit all our photographs to a similar visual style that can be seen through our portfolio. So if you like what you see, then you know what to expect. We can however, be flexible and if you have a different look in mind, we can tailor the results to what you have in mind.

Quick Turnarounds

Some photographers can take multiple months to deliver your wedding photos. We think this is insane!, but it's a very common practice. We are a little different, we aim to deliver your wedding photos within 2 weeks from the wedding date. However, our average turnaround time is actually 3-4 days.

We know just how excited you are to see your wedding photos, so we do everything we can to get them to you as quickly as possible. This actually helps us in terms of quality too, because we are editing the images while everything is still fresh in our minds, rather than coming back to them weeks later.

What Makes Us Different

Being a husband and wife team makes us different, because we can operate as one yet be in two places at once, we aren't just stuck at the back of the room only able to capture one angle. If you are both getting ready at different locations, this is no problem for us.

Every wedding has its own energy, and we’re here to make sure yours is captured beautifully from start to finish. You’ll find that our relaxed, attentive manner keeps things running smoothly, whether we are scouting perfect backdrops or guiding you through portraits.

Jack McCourt

I'm Jack McCourt. I started my journey as a web developer, but always had a love for photography. After getting bored of sitting behind a desk, I decided to take the plunge and start photographing weddings. I absolutely love capturing the magic of a wedding day and if you do what you love, then you will never work a day in your life!

Anna McCourt

I'm Anna McCourt. I started my journey with a degree in fashion design and working as a dress maker, which naturally led me to photography. I have a natural eye for detail after years of perfecting my craft, which extends to my wedding photography. I always make sure the finer details, like how your dress flows in pictures, are just right!
