Kate Godfrey Photo Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer based in Edinburgh covering Scotland and beyond. I take soulful, natural and earthy photographs. Kate x

Scotland wedding photographer and Edinburgh family photographer who loves to capture the beauty of real life. I'm Kate, and I love to capture documentary style photographs that perfectly capture the big moments and those little moments in-between, like someone's laugh or the sparkle of their eyes, so you can treasure them forever. Nostalgic photography you could say. Or, photos that feel like coming home. Whether it’s a wedding, elopement, couple photoshoot or family session I'd love to tell your story. To get to know the real you and show it. I can travel anywhere, and in Scotland I'd do so in my wee camper van. But I'm happy to fly abroad too! Send me a DM if you're interested in having me as your photographer. Or you can email me at [email protected] or through my website www.kategodfreyphoto.com.

The Art of Noticing: How My Camera is Teaching me to Slow Down and Notice More - Episode 2 📸

There’s a lot more to being a photographer than just taking a good photograph. This I have learned. It’s about slowing down, blending in, integrating in moments, stepping back, stepping forward, observing. Not just taking the obvious shot.

Anticipating moments before they happen, creating a space where such moments can unfold naturally, directing, not directing. Taking a breath.

Here’s the second collection of some recent photographs from this wedding season that I might’ve missed if I hadn’t allowed myself to slow down, see the bigger picture, and take that breath ✨🦢

Fleeting, gone in a moment, but important to have captured.

If you resonate with this style of photography and working, and would like someone to capture you for all the little details and moments, let me know. I’m taking 2027 and 2028 enquiries now 💌 DM me or better still, enquire through the link in my bio or at www.kategodfreyphoto.com 🫶🏻

p.s. cover photos was made by blending various 35mm film photos in photoshop!

I could’ve focused on the couple, but focusing on their uncle who was proudly leading them in? That’s more interesting.

Look down, sometimes there’s something unexpected. Like a flower girl rocking cowboy boots.

I could’ve got the brides face since it’s her, but why when I get gran squeezing her with joy?

A moment of giggles they won’t forget.

Letting the couple frame their joyful friends gives context to this moment.

Sure she could’ve faked doing her shoes in a flattering position. But surely the rea

Words cannot describe how I feel about this wedding 😭

First of all, S & A. A literal match made in heaven. Like LOOK AT THEM, MY GOODNESS. Sparkling personalities, the kindest hearts, and just interesting cool folks.

Second of all, Mar Lodge in Braemar. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. The moment I drove up the drive I fell in love with the endless creative possibilities the estate holds 🦌

On S & A’s wedding day it was just me and my cameras. Film and digital. Together with S & A I created magic, I documented moments of joy and love, integrated into friendship groups, laughed along with guests whilst sneakily snapping them, and I left with a fullness in my heart knowing exactly why I’m so proud that this is my job.

Because love is pretty epic. It’s kind of the best thing about being human 💕

Cannot wait to be back at Mar Lodge. Seriously will do ANYTHING to be back here. A wonderful place with wonderful staff. SOMEONE TAKE ME BACK THERE PLEASE!

Come frolic in the forest with me 🌳

The Hermitage in Perth, cared for by the National Trust of Scotland, is magnificent. Typically a well visited haunt in autumn but M & R chose to have their elopement in the middle of summer. The day was hot, the sun was high, and thankfully the bright green leaves shielded our skin with shade ☀️ it was beautiful, intimate, and special. An honour to be a part of.

Taking a small number more of elopements so do reach out if you’re thinking of eloping in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.kategodfreyphoto.com (link in my bio) or DM me!

At home weddings on 35mm 🎞️

Cosy, simple, at home weddings and Candido 400 (so warm and with sprinkles of fun little light leaks) are a match made in heaven. As are E & A. It was a joy to watch them get married on the rainiest day of the year. It bucketed down, everyone hid under one gazebo, I strapped an umbrella to my camera harness so that I could still shoot their ceremony, E stuck her sliders on to get her wedding portraits with the dog 🐾

Relaxed, fun and free. Exactly as it should be.
