Choose from digital photography, 35mm film or a combination of both. Whether you’re planning an intimate city elopement, a full-day celebration or a multi-day destination wedding in one of Scotland’s historic venues, you’ll receive thoughtful planning support, professional guidance and a beautifully curated gallery that reflects your day naturally.

What it feels like to work together?

Your wedding is never treated as a photoshoot from start to finish. Instead, the day unfolds naturally, with documentary coverage of real moments combined with editorial portraits that feel relaxed, modern and beautifully curated.

You’ll never be left wondering what to do in front of the camera. When needed, I offer gentle direction that feels natural rather than overly posed, helping you feel comfortable while creating photographs with a polished editorial look.

An eye for fashion, design and styling influences every gallery. From the way a dress moves to the textures of your venue and carefully chosen details. Each element contributes to photographs that feel cohesive, elevated and true to your celebration.

Alongside digital photography, you can also choose to include authentic 35mm film coverage. Film brings a softer, organic quality that complements digital images beautifully, adding depth, texture and a timeless analogue character to your final gallery.

Throughout the day, my focus is simple: to create a calm, enjoyable experience while delivering a collection of photographs that feels personal, natural and visually distinctive.

Wedding photography
on 35 mm film

Many of my couples choose to include 35mm film alongside their digital photography because it adds another layer of depth and character to their final gallery.

Film becomes part of the wedding day naturally, without changing the way you experience it. For a deeper look at the beauty of analogue photography and why couples choose to add 35mm film to their wedding experience, I have written a guide: Why You Should Add 35mm Film Photography to Your Wedding.

There is no need to pause, pose differently or plan extra moments — it is photographed alongside the celebrations as they unfold, allowing you to stay fully present while still capturing the atmosphere, details and emotions of the day.

Most couples don’t think about which camera was used while they are celebrating. When they receive their gallery, they often discover that some of their favourite images were photographed on film. What stands out is not simply the format, but the feeling it creates. Softer tones, natural texture and a unique sense of atmosphere that complements digital photography beautifully.

For couples who want the complete film experience, full-day 35mm coverage is also available. This option documents the entire wedding day exclusively on film, from morning preparations through to the final moments of the celebration. It is a more intentional approach for those who appreciate the process, artistry and distinctive character of analogue photography.

Whether added alongside digital coverage or chosen as a complete film experience, 35mm photography offers a different way of preserving your wedding day, creating photographs that feel personal, considered and true to the atmosphere of your celebration.

Destination wedding photography in Scotland & Europe

Planning a destination wedding means choosing a photographer who understands more than just the location. You need someone who can navigate the pace of a multi-day celebration, work naturally with your plans and create photographs that reflect both the atmosphere of the setting and the experience you have carefully designed.

From Italian villas and Venetian palaces to private estates across Europe, my destination wedding photography is created for couples who value thoughtful details, exceptional locations and a celebration that feels personal to the people they share it with.

Your wedding day should feel effortless. My approach combines natural documentary coverage with refined editorial portraits, offering gentle direction when needed while allowing the genuine moments, emotions and energy of the celebration to unfold naturally.

Whether you are planning an intimate destination wedding or a multi-day celebration abroad, you can expect a calm, professional photography experience and a carefully curated gallery that preserves the atmosphere, details and moments that made your wedding unique.
