Set on the edge of Lasswade, Kings Acre Golf Course offers a wedding setting that is relaxed, open, and quietly scenic. With sweeping views across rolling fairways and surrounding countryside, it provides a sense of space without feeling remote or formal. It is a venue that suits couples looking for a straightforward, welcoming environment where the emphasis is on enjoying the day rather than managing it.

The landscape plays a central role at Kings Acre. Expanses of green, long sightlines, and changing skies create a calm visual backdrop that works beautifully for natural photography. From a photographic perspective, the openness of the course allows moments to breathe. Portraits tend to feel unforced and reflective, shaped by the setting rather than constructed within it, and group photographs are easily accommodated without feeling crowded or rushed.

Inside, the clubhouse provides a practical and comfortable space for ceremonies and receptions. The atmosphere is informal and sociable, which often encourages guests to relax quickly and engage fully with the celebration. Weddings here typically feel convivial and people-focused, with conversation and shared moments taking precedence over strict formality. This creates opportunities to capture genuine interaction rather than posed or overly structured scenes.



One of the strengths of Kings Acre as a wedding venue is its accessibility. Located close to Edinburgh and Midlothian communities, it is easy for guests to reach, which helps the day flow smoothly from start to finish. That ease is reflected in the overall tone of weddings here: calm, unpretentious, and centred on togetherness rather than spectacle.

Having photographed weddings at Kings Acre Golf Course, I understand how best to work with its light, layout, and rhythm. My approach as Lee Live: Wedding Photographer is to keep things simple and unobtrusive, allowing the setting to support the story rather than dominate it. The result is a wedding narrative that feels relaxed, grounded, and true to the people celebrating it.
