Modern wedding photography for couples planning an unforgettable Scottish celebration
Your wedding photography should feel effortless, intentional and completely connected to the atmosphere of your day. I create refined, editorial imagery that captures not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt. From the quiet in-between moments to the energy of your celebration.
Based in Scotland, I specialise in Edinburgh, Glasgow and historic Scottish venues, creating timeless wedding collections for couples celebrating in castles, private estates and elegant city locations.
My approach combines documentary storytelling with fashion-inspired editorial portraits, captured through a blend of digital photography and 35mm film for imagery with depth, texture and a timeless quality.
Whether you are planning a luxury castle wedding in Scotland or an elegant city celebration, I offer a calm, considered photography experience designed around your vision, allowing you to stay present while every meaningful detail is beautifully preserved.

Q&A’S
-
Throughout the day, I gracefully navigate between being an observer and a director. In some instances, I prefer to step back, becoming an invisible presence that documents the spontaneous and heartfelt moments as they unfold organically. These emotional candids serve as the raw, unfiltered essence of the love and joy that saturates a wedding day.
Yet, there are moments where I gently guide, curating scenes and offering subtle direction to artistically shape the story. By carefully navigating these moments, I aim to craft images that not only reflect reality but transcend it, enriching each frame with a sense of poetic beauty and storytelling depth.
Ultimately, my goal is to create a visual narrative that encapsulates the love, connection and authenticity of the couple's union. Through a delicate interplay of capturing the raw and directing the curated, I strive to tell a story that is as unique and enchanting as the love it portrays. -
I am based in Scotland, Glasgow. Covering Edinburgh, London and Europe and more than happy to jump on a plane in order to document your story.

Regarding the booking process, I'd like to meet up for a coffee and have a chat or we could set up a zoom call to learn more about you, your plans and to answer any questions you may have.
Once your custom wedding proposal will be created and ready to move forward, I'll create your contract with all the proposal details. To secure the date, I'll ask for a 30% retainer payment.
Once I have your signed contract and the retainer payment, I'll lock in the date on my calendar and confirm my services for your event! The remaining balance will be due 60 days before your wedding day. -
Since every wedding or photo session is unique, the number of images you'll get depends on the custom collection you choose and may vary based on factors like the schedule and size of the wedding - such as the timeline and guest count.Typically, I provide around 50 images for every hour of photography coverage. For a whole-day wedding event, you can expect to receive over 500 photos capturing your special day.
You'll receive a sneak peek within 48 hours following the wedding day and the complete set of photos will be ready within 14 to 16 weeks for weddings, and 4 to 6 weeks for engagement or portrait sessions. I'll strive to deliver them to you earlier whenever feasible.
-
Your photos will be presented through an online gallery allowing you to easily share them with family and friends worldwide.
You'll receive high-resolution images via an online delivery system, accessible for download from anywhere at any time for a year. After that time a yearly gallery subscription will be available. I recommend that clients download and back up the images to their personal hard drive or cloud storage for safekeeping.
-
I handle projects independently and may collaborate with a second photographer depending on the specific requirements and scale of the wedding. Typically, for weddings hosting more than 90 guests, I advise considering a second photographer. However for smaller gatherings, I'm comfortable working alone. Rest assured, I'll provide personalized recommendations based on your wedding plans and schedule.
-
An engagement session offers a wonderful opportunity for us to become more acquaintes. It's a chance for you to become familiar with my photography style and feel at ease in front of the camera. Consider it a rehearsal before your wedding day, where we can discover your natural rhythm and ensure you feel comfortable and confident during the shoot.
-
I'm pleased to provide photography supplementary services both preceding and following the wedding day, including rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, engagement celebrations, after-parties, gelato or pizza gatherings, private dinners, as well as unique experiences such as wild hunting and more. Additionally, multi-day wedding arrangements are available to accommodate diverse preferences and needs.
