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.

Happy International Women’s day ✨
This year feels very poignant to me as I’m currently 8 weeks post surgery for Endometriosis. The medical misogyny I’ve faced dealing with this condition continues to make me so angry. In 2025 we should not be having our pain dismissed and told it’s “normal”, be told that it would only be looked at “when we want to have children”.

I can’t believe that this year marks 10 years of me being self employed and it’s nearly 16 years since I photographed my first wedding. Big love to all my fellow female business owners. I feel so lucky that I get to do this for a job.

I’m also going to take the opportunity to say:
You are never too much or not enough
Abortion is healthcare
Trans women are women
If your feminism isn’t intersectional it’s bullshit
Tell the females in your life that you love them

Thinking about my own unique visual language as a photographer ✨

As a wedding photographer who follows a lot of other wedding photographers… Instagram often makes me feel like I’m constantly seeing the same images over and over again.

I’ve been thinking a lot about authenticity, intentionality and inspiration as an artist and photographer over the last 12 months.

This got me thinking about things that I’m constantly drawn to when photographing. So here’s a few images from my camera roll that captured something I loved that felt very “me”.

An ode to black and white film 🎞️ #onfilm

I’ve been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black – Henri Matisse

Since going back to photographing on film, I’ve gained a new appreciation for the power and beauty of black and white. The emotional impact, the way the it draws you into the image without distraction and the timeless feel.

I’ve been testing out a lot of different film stocks but I still keep going back to my love of #ilfordhp5 . It might be the nostalgia as it’s the film I used when I started photography as a teenager or maybe it’s the timeless quality. It looks brilliant at box speed or pushed to 800 or 1600.

Either way I just love black and white. Which is your favourite and can you guess the film stock?

I’ve been loving looking back at all the super 8 footage I captured last year and the stunning nostalgic feel. I’ve always loved all my great granny’s films of our family from the 1960s & 70s so it’s been a joy bringing it into my own work alongside my digital and film photography.

The magical autumn Scottish wedding of @nicolle_lynn & @bryendesjardin from last September was just so perfect for super 8.

Oh-my-gosh I still can’t get over the beautiful autumnal colours and feel of the beautiful @maplehursthouse in the Scottish Borders.

They had their first look under the historic trees before saying their personal vows to each other. Then had a ceremony with their closest friends and family on the lawn.

Thank you again for having me capture your dream of a day.
