GOT SOME QUESTIONS?

Absolutely, before booking, I will meet you for a consultation where we will discuss your wedding plans and what you are looking for in terms of photography. If you don’t live locally or are planning a destination wedding to Edinburgh I am happy to chat over the phone or zoom / skype.

I have photographed in a huge range of wedding venues across Edinburgh and beyond. If I have never been to your venue before we can arrange a visit to your venue but it’s not normally needed.

If I’ve not been to a venue before I find that arriving an hour ahead of my photography start time is perfect. I can plan for how I’m going to photograph your day based on the weather forecast and lighting conditions on the day.

I have a car and I am happy to drive to wherever you are getting married, or jump of a plane if you are planning a destination wedding! My packages include travel within 75 miles from my home in Edinburgh; we can discuss travel arrangements out with this distance.

My full-day package covers up to 10 hours including morning preparations through to an hour after the first dance. I also offer shorter micro wedding and elopement packages, multi-day options – I am happy to cover as much of your wedding as you would like me me there for.

Yes, I am happy to take whatever formal images you want on the day. I take these as quickly as possible so you can get back to enjoying your day. I recommend working from the biggest to smallest shots to help make this as organised as possible. I will also do a creative couple photo session with you lasting around 20-30 mins.

I use high-quality Canon digital cameras and mostly use the Canon R5 mirrorless camera and 5D MK4 DSLR as well as Canon and Sigma lenses for all my weddings.

For film photography, I use the Canon 1V, EOS3 and Pentax MX 35mm cameras and Pentax 645N medium format camera.

I always bring 3 digital Camera bodies, 3 film cameras and around 6 lenses and 4 flashes so I am always prepared and have backups!

I normally take between 2000-3000 digital images per wedding depending on the length of coverage you choose on the day, from this I deliver around 600-800 images. You can see some examples of weddings over on my blog. I always deliver digital images in both colour and black & white versions of everything.

Alongside my digital images, I photograph 4-5 rolls of film between 35mm and medium format. You’ll typically receive around 100 film photos. My negatives are scanned at high resolution and your film photos are delivered digitally with your gallery. Negatives can be provided for an additional cost.

Yes, I have professional indemnity and public liability insurance. My equipment is also insured. I can provide copies on request.

Yes, you will receive a gallery of your final images from which you can download everything in high resolution or web size. You can add on a USB if you wish.

You have copyright permission to use the images for personal use so you can make your own prints. I also have an e-commerce website linked to your gallery from which you or your friends and family can buy prints directly from me.

I always try and get my images as perfect as possible on camera. I aim to edit with true colours and natural warmth. I edit all images individually using professional retouching techniques including exposure, colour correction, and natural skin retouching including removing of blemishes. I use lightroom and photoshop for my editing. Specialist image retouching can be done on request for an additional charge.

I offer 2 types of albums at the moment. I offer a premium photo book as well as fine art albums. I am happy to discuss your exact requirements with you.

A pre-wedding or engagement shoot takes place before your wedding. It gives you a chance to feel relaxed in front of the camera before your wedding. We will spend 2-3 hours on location taking images. These are great to frame around your home, use as an invitation or on a guestbook for your wedding day. If you are interested in doing this please let me know. You can view some of my engagement and pre-wedding shoot images here.

I typically carry 3 cameras with me on a wedding day between digital and film. If you prefer a film focus I can use one digital and 2 film or for a digital focus I use 2 digital and 1 film camera.

My film photos are developed either by myself or by a professional film lab. My negatives are scanned at print resolution and delivered digitally via your online gallery. You can print all film photos from the digital scans. Your negatives are available on request for £100 per roll of film.

No, I also love photographing families, boudoir, and creative fashion photography.

A love story from all over the world ✨ photographed #onfilm and digital.

These two first crossed paths on the Kiwi Experience bus in New Zealand back in 2015. It wasn’t until years later that their story really began. After living in London together, they moved back to Wellington in 2022, where they’ve built a life by the sea (with plenty of adventures in between).

Harry proposed on Rabbit Island—first thing in the morning, completely catching Mariya off guard. Just them, the waves, and the best kind of surprise.

Their wedding day was full of meaning: old stone walls, soft natural light, and bright colour woven in to honour of Mariya’s Pakistani heritage—including the most stunning red wedding dress and gorgeous henna tattoos.

It was an absolute joy and honour to capture their beautiful day 🎞️✨

Vintage romance in the heart of Edinburgh Old Town #onfilm

Huge love to the team of creatives who brought beautiful ideas, details and a whole lot of talent to the styled shoot I put together at @riddlescourt @shbtweddings in April.

I pulled together the concept and all the vendors in the space of a few weeks and I’m so delighted how everything came together.

I’m just so obsessed with everything and I was squealing when I got the film scans back from the lab!

I can’t wait to share more from the editorial made for lovers of artful authentic love stories.

Jordyn & Rick on the Isle of Skye #onfilm (35mm & 120)

I was fortunate enough to spend a lovely day last month with Jordyn and Rick, capturing their love amidst the rugged beauty of the Quiraing, graced with perfect weather.

Rick`s heartfelt proposal to Jordyn took place at Acadia National Park`s Cadillac Mountain, set against the warm hues of a sunset. This magical moment laid the foundation for their dramatic wedding photos, embodying the wild beauty of Skye.

I`m thrilled to be returning to the Isle of Skye later this month for another beautiful elopement ✨🎞️

A few of the film frames from Lizzie & Ewan’s sun-soaked wedding at Guardswell Farm ✨🎞️

There’s something about seeing the day through the soft grain and rich tones of 35mm and medium format film that just feels right. It suits them—warm, intentional, full of love and thought and unfiltered joy.

They brought their people together from Scotland, Switzerland and Australia for a celebration that was all heart. Secondhand treasures, seasonal sharing food, wildflowers everywhere, and a ceilidh that had everyone spinning around on the dance floor (I’m so obsessed their first dance song, “Take My Hand” by @skerryvore—which made it extra special, as we had that as a reading at my own wedding 🥹).

It was one of those days that leaves a mark. Honest, joyful, and filled with the kind of magic that film captures so beautifully.

✨ Creating wedding photography work from inspiration outside of wedding photography ✨

One of the biggest influences on how I approach a wedding day is how it feels. I’m always chasing light, mood, space, and setting—capturing not just what happened, but the atmosphere of it all.

I look for unique pockets of light. I’m drawn to the texture of a place, the feeling it holds. I notice those quiet, authentic moments that pass in a blink but say everything. My mind pulls from the mystique of film noir, the softness and drama of old master paintings, and that dreamy, enchanted feeling I first felt watching The Secret Garden as a little girl.

Creating from a place of personal, instinctive inspiration is where the real magic lives.
For years, I tried to “be a wedding photographer”—to fit the mould. But the work that truly resonates has always come from embracing who I am: a storyteller, a daydreamer, an artist with one foot in the darkroom and the other somewhere between memory and magic.

Swipe through to see the heart of my visual signature—how I see, feel, and translate a wedding day into art.

Ps. I promise to do a catch up of recent work on the grid soon. All of my weddings and photoshoots recently have been such a dream I’ve not known where to start! You might spy a few new images in this post!

I’ve had an incredibly busy and magical few weeks since the end of April. The Scottish weather has shone and I’m just so grateful that I get to call this my job.

Where I am now once felt like an impossible dream. I managed to remember to film a few highlight clips on my osmo on almost every shoot! Thank you to @letsdoitcreative for the bts from the styled shoot!

✨Starting with my styled shoot at @riddlescourt @shbtweddings
✨Glencoe for an anniversary photoshoot with Kelli and Tyler
✨ GGs yard for a beautiful multi cultural wedding with Mariya and Harry
✨ Back to where I got married at @natminingmuseum with Kerris and Colin
✨ Isle of Skye with Jordyn and Rick
✨ @guardswellfarm for Lizzie & Ewan’s colourful day
✨ Cliffside engagement shoot with Tom & Sam
✨ Tyler & Kenzie got engaged in St. Andrews
✨ Lauren & Finlay at the amazing @wintoncastle

I’ve got soooo much new work to share (I shot around 50 rolls of film as well as my digital photos over the last 5 weeks!) and can’t wait to start sharing what I’ve been creating!

A beautiful sunny day exploring Edinburgh with Nicole & Marco ✨💖🎞️ (film & digital)

There’s something special about photographing couples in the city I grew up in. Edinburgh isn’t just a backdrop for me—it’s home. From iconic spots like Dean Village, the quiet corners of the New Town where you can catch your breath, and all the tucked-away gems most people miss.

The early morning sunshine, laughter, and the beautiful connection of this pair. Capturing those fleeting, in-between moments with all the warmth and texture they deserved.

Swipe through to see the story unfold—and if you’re dreaming of your own Edinburgh engagement shoot, let’s make it happen. I still have a few spaces left for 2025, get in touch today.

A few digital previews from Lizzie and Ewan’s wedding on Saturday (sooo buzzing for the film scans!)

A sun-soaked spring day, the kind that lingers in your memory like a favourite song (I still have those first dance song “Take my Hand”by @skerryvore stuck in my head which is so special to me as we had it as a ceremony reading at my own wedding!)

Lizzie & Ewan gathered their people from near and far—Scotland, Switzerland, Australia—for a wedding that felt like home. Thoughtful, joyful, full of love and wildflowers and laughter that echoed across the hills.

They chose meaning over fuss, secondhand treasures, seasonal food, and a ceilidh that had everyone flinging themselves around the dancefloor with wild abandon.

It was the kind of day you wish you could bottle. The kind you’ll talk about for years. I feel so blessed to have been part of the most beautiful and heartfelt days so far this year and Lizzie and Ewan’s day was so special.
