Event photography in Edinburgh

Photo 8 is a professional photography company covering corporate, sports and social events across Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland. The work runs from conferences and corporate evenings to awards ceremonies and charity balls, all delivered with high-quality images and an instant on-site print service. Our strengths are black-tie and charity ball photography, school proms, conference photography, and sports and social work.

Events we photograph in Edinburgh

Edinburgh keeps a full events diary, and we cover a fair slice of it: school proms, corporate and private parties, dance competitions, wedding receptions, conferences, corporate evenings and awards ceremonies. The city is well set up for the lot, from the big conference halls and the larger hotels through to the grand function rooms of the New Town and the older spaces tucked away in the Old Town. A formal awards evening in a hotel ballroom asks for something different to a conference in a clean modern exhibition space, and we set up to match whichever you’ve got. For larger conferences we know the rooms at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre well.

Our service takes in a mobile studio, green screen chroma-key photography, a traditional photography studio, instant on-site printing, on-site orders and payments, a password-protected online gallery, and social media sharing. That spread means we can move from polished portraits to candid floor coverage and back again without losing the moment, which matters when an evening shifts gear from the speeches to the dancing in the space of ten minutes.

Corporate photography in Edinburgh and Scotland

For corporate events we stay flexible. Whether it’s a company anniversary with 200 guests or a conference pulling 2,000 visitors through, there’s a sensible solution for the room. We can put roaming photographers on the floor to catch candid shots of your guests, or set up a mobile studio with a backdrop matched to your theme.

Green screen is where the creative side really opens up. We take your photograph and add any background scene you fancy, which makes it as at home at a serious corporate activation as it is at a relaxed staff party. Every photograph can be printed in seconds at the venue, and we set up an individual password-protected online gallery for guests to view, download and share their images once it’s all over.

What we offer on the night

The roaming photographer suits occasions and activations where a fixed studio won’t do, moving through the event and catching the moments nobody poses for. On-site printing covers any kind of event, with high-quality prints produced in under ten seconds. Social media sharing lets guests post their branded images on the spot to build brand awareness while the night’s still going.

The pop-up studio is fully equipped for black-tie nights, awards, charity events, commercial photographs and business portraits, and it comes with private password-protected galleries. GIF animation adds a touch of humour and the kind of light, shareable interaction that helps build trust and loyalty around your brand.

Free attendance and pre-paid packages

We attend all social events free of charge, including school proms, dance competitions, dance school photos, and rugby and football tournaments. For these we work from competitive pre-paid packages with good savings, with prints starting from £10, which keeps things affordable for parents, schools and clubs.
