The Caves, in brief.
The Caves are stone vaults beneath South Bridge in the Old Town, arched, unplastered and entirely without daylight.
Selected wedding photography from our CameraBoss studio illustrates our approach. These images are not presented as weddings at The Caves. Please confirm current access, facilities and wedding arrangements directly with the venue.

What to plan around
Photographing The Caves
- Zero natural light. Everything here is lit, and the candlelight is part of the look rather than a fallback.
- Bare stone eats light. We bring more of it than the room size suggests.
- The Old Town closes are directly outside, which makes this one of the easiest Edinburgh venues for portraits.
