Wedding photography and film at The Balmoral Hotel
The Balmoral Hotel is a hotel wedding venue in Scotland, sitting on the famous Princes Street beneath its iconic clock tower with Edinburgh Castle rising directly in its sightline.
The Balmoral sits right on Princes Street under its famous clock tower, with grand staircases and views straight up to Edinburgh Castle. Classic city glamour with real Scottish character, a venue we'd love to capture.
We think it represents city wedding glamour at its most distinctly Scottish, where grand staircases, rich interiors and one of Edinburgh's most recognisable skylines combine to create a setting full of natural drama. It is absolutely a venue we would love to bring our cameras to, and we can only imagine how well that castle backdrop would read on film.
Getting to The Balmoral Hotel
Edinburgh Waverley station is your best bet, sitting just a five minute walk from The Balmoral Hotel. It is brilliantly connected by regular services from Glasgow, London, and beyond, so travelling by train is genuinely easy. Edinburgh Airport is the nearest major airport, roughly 30 minutes away by tram. The Edinburgh Trams service runs directly into the city centre, dropping you close to the hotel, which makes it a straightforward journey after landing. The hotel has no on-site car park, but several NCP car parks are within easy walking distance along St Andrew Square and nearby streets. For the evening, book taxis in advance. City Cabs and Central Taxis are reliable Edinburgh firms and worth having saved in your phone before the big day.
