THE FAQs
GET THE LOWDOWN!
WHAT’S YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
Modern, relaxed, bold, colourful and full of personality. My photography is all about capturing your wedding as it actually looked and felt, from the big, emotional moments to the wee things you might not even realise are happening.

Think genuine connection, happy tears, belly laughs, questionable dance moves and all the beautiful chaos in between. I'm documentary-led, which means I focus on capturing real moments as they unfold, with a little gentle direction when you need it.

My editing style is bright, clean, colourful and true to life, so your photos feel like *your* day, not a recreation of somebody else's Pinterest board. I don't chase fleeting trends or force your wedding into a particular aesthetic. I have my own signature style, and it's all about capturing the real, wonderful, completely unique story of you two.
WHAT DOES ‘DOCUMENTARY’ ACTUALLY MEAN?
In simple terms? You get to enjoy your wedding while I capture the magic happening around you.

Documentary wedding photography is about telling the story of your day as it naturally unfolds, without constantly stopping the action to pose everyone or manufacture moments that aren't really happening.

It's the nervous excitement before the ceremony, your favourite people absolutely losing it during the speeches, those little glances between you and the happy chaos on the dance floor. All the stuff that makes your wedding *yours*.

I'll absolutely help organise family photos and gently guide you during your couple portraits, but I'm not going to have you performing for the camera all day. My aim is to blend in with your family and friends, stay present in the moment and capture the genuine stuff as it happens. You enjoy the day. I'll tell the story.
WHAT IF WE HATE HAVING OUR PICTURE TAKEN?
First of all, you're in very good company! So many of my couples tell me they've never had professional photos taken before, feel awkward in front of a camera or genuinely have no idea what to do with their hands. And honestly? That's absolutely fine.

I'm not here to change how you look on camera. I'm here to help you feel more comfortable in front of it.

My approach is relaxed, modern and completely focused on your connection. I'll give you gentle direction when you need it, help you settle into the moment and encourage you to focus on each other rather than the camera. No stiff poses, no forced smiles and absolutely no expectation to become professional models overnight.

I've photographed couples all over Scotland who started out feeling exactly the same way. You don't need to know how to pose or suddenly become somebody you're not. Just be yourselves, have a wee bit of fun and trust me to take care of the rest.

I've got you!
DO YOU CAPTURE SMALL WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS TOO?
Absolutely! I don't believe a wedding needs hundreds of guests, a grand venue or a jam-packed schedule to be worth remembering.

I'm just as happy photographing an intimate city chambers wedding, a relaxed little celebration in a garden or a micro-wedding with your favourite people as I am a big, full-day celebration.

In fact, there's something really special about those smaller weddings where every person there means the world to you. My approach stays the same whatever your plans look like: natural photographs, genuine moments and a relaxed experience that lets you enjoy every minute.

I also offer smaller wedding packages to suit more intimate celebrations, so you can find something that works for your plans without paying for coverage you don't need. Small wedding, big wedding, somewhere in between? If it feels like you, I'd love to hear about it.
WHY SHOULD WE CHOOSE YOU AS OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
Because your wedding deserves to be photographed by someone who cares just as much about how your day feels as how your photographs look.

I'm an award-winning wedding photographer with experience capturing weddings across Scotland, and I've built my style around everything I love about this job: genuine connection, colourful celebrations, real emotion and people feeling comfortable enough to be themselves.

My approach is modern, relaxed and documentary-led, with a bold, colourful signature style that stays true to life. I don't follow every new trend or try to make every wedding look the same. I want your photographs to reflect *your* personalities, *your* people and *your* story.

And if you're camera-shy, worried about feeling awkward or simply want to enjoy your wedding without being posed all day, you're exactly the kind of couple I love working with.

You're not just booking someone to take photographs. You're trusting someone to tell the story of a day you'll want to relive for years to come. I'd absolutely love to be that person for you.
