Intentional storytelling

where romance and nostalgia meets art
Wedding
Photography
I am a wedding photographer based in Edinburgh, and I love the energy and excitement of a wedding day. The connections we share are invaluable, and the memories captured in photographs are timeless. I specialize in creating stylish, joyful images that evoke genuine emotions.



Scotland Elopement Photographer
I am passionate about capturing city elopements, micro-weddings, and adventurous ceremonies throughout Scotland and beyond.
Let’s do things differently, authentic love and connection for adventurous souls.

I’M LORAINE
(SHE/HER)

I am an Edinburgh-based wedding photographer specializing in both digital and analogue film (both 35mm and medium format). Since 2009, I have photographed over 300 weddings, and I love every moment. My journey in photography began with 35mm film, fueled by my passion for art, nostalgia for old movies, vintage fashion, and the romance of Scotland.
I work in a creative, and modern documentary style blended with some editorial direction. This allows me to naturally and artfully narrate the story of your wedding day which feels authentic.
There is no greater joy than photographing the happiest moments alongside awesome people. Each couple I work with is unique, which is what I love so much about wedding photography. I approach every wedding with that in mind to tell your story as a couple, alongside the narrative of the day.
I find joy in capturing the connections between people and the excitement and joy that a wedding day brings. I have a love for adventure and the architecture and landscapes across Scotland. While I am based in Edinburgh, I am available to document your wedding or elopement in Scotland and beyond.
I am proudly a LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive wedding photographer.

ANALOGUE LOVE STORIES

CAPTURING MOMENTS ON 35MM & MEDIUM FORMAT FILM
Nothing compares to the nostalgia and magic of 35mm and medium format film. The beautiful aesthetics and rich color tones gives romantic and timeless results.
I artfully combine capturing moments both digitally and on classic 35mm and medium format analogue film. This approach ensures that your wedding photos are creative, unique, high-end, and truly timeless aesthetic.

2025 the year I push myself out of my comfort zone more……
Talking into a camera is something that omgggggg I am so anxious about. Which is wild because I’ve been in multiple large production film and TV sets as an extra (including having a HUGE camera right in my face for hours on end when I was in Outlander) but ya know 4th wall and you can pretend it’s not there.
Thank you to @cinematefilms for being patient with me stumbling over my words a million times and editing me to look way more polished than I actually was ✨🎞️

The most gorgeous day in Glencoe with Lexy & Roxy earlier this month ✨🎞️
A slow, laughter-filled morning getting ready, followed by a golden first look in the sunshine by Loch Leven—one of those moments that feels straight out of a dream.
Their ceremony was tucked away in the quiet of Glencoe Lochan, surrounded by towering pines, the hush of spring, their favourite people (and pups), with the mountains standing watch.
And as the skies shifted, they danced in the rain and it was like something out of a movie with the moody skies—because some love stories are just perfect with every weather ✨
Thank you so much for having me capture your day. The sweetest couple and group of guests. I loved every moment.

Ada & Dylan in Edinburgh last September, photographed completely #onfilm (& a lil bit of super 8 snuck in at the end)
Photographing other photographers is always special—but when they ask you to do it completely on film and bring a Bronica RF645 and let you shoot with it? That’s next-level joy. (I’m still thinking about that camera, not gonna lie.)
I had the most magical day showing this pair around some of my favourite places in the old town of Edinburgh. Followed by a sunny hike up Arthur’s Seat.
Thank you for letting me capture you both.

Slowing down and soaking in the magic and moments. Glencoe on 35mm film, where every frame feels like a breath held just a little bit longer. A moment really stopped in time.
There’s something about the grain, the tones, the waiting. The way film sees light is magic. In the Scottish highlands, even more so.
Shot on 35mm film, no editing. Just patience and a love for the process.
Looking forward to going back to glencoe for another beautiful elopement this weekend.

For me wedding photography is about the little moments that feel like magic ✨
A few BTS clips from gorgeous days I’ve photographed

Storytelling with hands ✨ (it was time for another one of these right?)
One of the things I always look for when photographing is the way that hands tell a story. The way someone touches or holds their partner, a hug and hand squeeze from someone close to you. The nervous tension, the loose joyous moments, hands are such a key storytelling element.
When photographing portraits, hand placement is something simple that can elevate a photo. I always like hands to feel elegant, graceful and soft.
I have a background as a dancer, I alway remember my ballet teacher pushing the importance of hand placement. It’s something that’s lead me through both my life as a dancer and a photographer.
Here’s some of my favourite storytelling moments with hands and touch from this year ✨(all taken #onfilm #35mm and #120 !)

Abhipsa & Jacob in Glencoe #onfilm (#35mm & #120)
I’m so excited for another trip to Glencoe next weekend for a beautiful elopement. I’ve been looking through past Glencoe galleries and falling even more in love with these photos of Abhipsa and Jacob I took last October.
The colours of the expired #pro400h just looked so incredible with the autumn colours ✨
I still have a small amount of availability for 2025 if you are looking for a photographer.

Throwback to some beautiful moments from Taylor and Luke’s stunning day at @thefreecompanysco in 2022
I absolutely love this time of year before wedding season starts. I get time to review my work from past weddings and write down my intentions for the year.
This year my aim with Instagram is to forget the algorithm and post most beautiful moments over couple portraits. Taylor and Luke’s day was both beautifully curated and full of lots of emotion.
