“The photos are all gorgeous and we can’t stop scrolling through them. She captured all of the details perfectly. She was also so helpful and organised in the lead-up to the wedding, providing really practical and detailed planning templates and advice for the day scheduling and photos. She was so communicative every step of the way”

Loraine is absolutely wonderful! I saw her work on instagram and knew I had to have her as our wedding photographer! She was so patient when we had to change our plans during covid and offered so much assistance throughout the entire planning process. She is an absolute light and was such a wonderful vibe to have on our special day! We love our photos so much!

“I can’t even describe how amazing Loraine’s photography is. She is truly one of the most gifted photographers I have met. She is very professional, organized, and great to work with! She made our big day extra special. What an amazing experience!”

STEPHANIE & LEWIS
Loraine photographed our wedding in May. We came across her work on Instagram and loved her style. She was fantastic throughout the whole process and suggested lots of great suppliers and details for the day. She made us completely comfortable and it was great getting to know her. We are over the moon with our photos and will treasure them forever.
SCOTTISH BORDERS MICRO WEDDING
KRISTI & NICK
Loraine made me feel relaxed during the entire day and really advocated for us when things weren’t how she thought they would be from a professional stand point and from getting to know us as well as she did. I felt that she really took my concerns about being awkward in front of a camera and tailored the experience to me and my wedding party.
Her style of editing really went with our vision and how her site was organized made it easy to communicate what we loved and what we would rather leave out.
We had both our engagement and wedding photos done with her and if we are ever back in the UK and want photos done we will be going straight her way.
Thankyou for making our day so special!

CASEY & MICHAEL
Loraine is just so genuine and sweet! She planned the whole day to make sure that my husband and I saw the beautiful Scottish highlands and the photos she captured are some of my absolute favorites! Shes just a gem 🙂
GLENCOE COUPLES PHOTOSHOOT
“Loraine did an amazing job photographing our wedding. Neither of us are that comfortable in front of the camera but Loraine made it feel very easy and at times, like during the speeches, I forgot she was even there! She captured exactly what we were looking for from the day and our photos really reflect the happiness of the day. Would not hesitate to recommend her!”

GHILLIE DHU EDINBURGH WEDDING
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful part of the build-up to and on our wedding day. We absolutely loved working with you and we love the photos of our engagement and wedding SO much. Thank you for making the whole process so easy, warm and everything tailored to us. Our guests noted how wonderfully at ease you put them and how hard you worked on the day. Thank you so much for everything.

LOCH TAY ELOPEMENT
To anyone who’s thinking of changing to a smaller wedding. Do it! 2 years on and we have no regrets it was the most perfect day & suited us as a couple. Don’t be afraid to upset people by going it alone. If they really care about you they will understand. Also use Loraine for your photos & helping hand on the day! We has a wonderful day and felt as although you were a part of it rather than just there taking wonderful photos!
LOUISE & GARY
DUNGLASS ESTATE WEDDING
The pictures look fantastic!! As I said in previous emails the picture-taking part was one of the things I really wasn’t looking forward to. Now I don’t know why I got so stressed. You made the full process so easy and comfortable.
“Loraine is an amazing photographer and a wonderful person. She made us feel so comfortable and showed us the most special places to experience and take photos. It felt like she was our guide, photographer and friend! She is professional, flexible and responds promptly. I can’t recommend her enough, as well as Scotland!.”

Lorraine was a dream to work with! The photos were beyond what we expected and she really went the extra mile. We frequently look back on the photos she took and are instantly transported back to our wedding day. Thank you so much Lorraine, we will definitely be recommending you to friends and family in the future.
TEASSES GARDEN WEDDING
ERIN & JOHN
I am so grateful we had Loraine as our photographer to capture the beautiful memories we will have for a lifetime! Coming from the States we were naturally nervous about how our day would go and making sure everything was perfect, but Loraine’s professionalism, experience, and friendliness put us at ease instantly. She went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day and even with the gloomy and beautiful Scotland weather, Loraine highlighted the natural beauty and fun of eloping in Glencoe! We are so happy with how everything turned out!

CINDY & NEIL
Was a great pleasure to have Loraine photograph our civil ceremony and wedding lunch. Leading up to the special day Loraine made sure she knew what we wanted as well as giving us advice and tips. On the actual day Loraine was very professional and helpful, she guided us on how to pose and what to do, which made the results of the photographs beautiful. Despite the rainy day we had a wonderful experience and have wonderful pictures to show for it. I highly reccommend Loraine for your wedding, engagement or any professional photos you need.

Margaux and Peter came to Scotland from New York to get married at the absolutely breathtaking @penicuikestate near Edinburgh. Incorporating Peter’s Scottish heritage they had a laid back and elegant day that reflected them and their friends and family beautifully.

Some film frames (35mm & medium format) from a dreamy few days in Sicily last October🇮🇹☀️ 🎞️
The pool at @braccialieri was straight out of a retro movie set, and I was living my kitschy vintage fantasy (no surprises there if you know me!).
Thank you to @editorialsbynicoladixon for arranging a gorgeous few days of retro charm with timeless Sicilian elegance…sunshine, Aperols, olive trees, and that effortless Mediterranean romance that makes destination weddings feel so magical.
If you’re planning a destination wedding and want images full of warmth, atmosphere, and a touch of vintage soul. I’m so here for it! I still have availability for both 2026 & 2027.

Happy Anniversary to Aimee & Iain! Golden light and dreamy skies at @broxmouthcourtyard serving pure Italian sunshine vibes 🌞✨
The most gorgeous light leaks, lens flair and soft magic that you can only get on film.
When they first got in touch, they described their vision and I was instantly obsessed:
“We loved the Italian feel of the cobblestone courtyard, so we’re taking inspiration from that. We’re a relaxed couple and our main priority is making sure people are well fed, the drinks are flowing, and there’s plenty of laughter. We’re thinking fresh white flowers, candles, Aperol and Prosecco, a gelato truck, and late-night pizza…”
A total vibe. Aperols flowing, gelato in the sunshine, late-night pizza, and so much laughter, what a dream to capture.
I’m absolutely in love with all the film scans. Shot on #canon1v #bronicarf645 & #mamiya6

Happy Anniversary to this pair of icons 🎞️ A few 35mm and 120 film favourites from May & Sam’s incredible day at @rcpevenue last July ✨it was such an joy to have it featured in print and digital on @tietheknotscotland
These two have the most romantic story: they met on an oyster farm in Japan (I mean… come on! How perfect is that?). Their wedding was a beautiful blend of cultures, travel, and love, with family and friends joining them from Japan, the USA, and across the UK to celebrate in the heart of Edinburgh.
A day full of elegance, connection, and so much joy… and this is just a tiny glimpse of it. The film photos just capture the energy of the day so perfectly 🎞️
Thank you to @southsun for being the most amazing film lab.

Cinematic magic with Lily & April in the rain-soaked streets of Glasgow. I’m soooo looking forward photographing this pair get married next month ✨
Romance, mood, and a little bit of grit. All captured on 35mm + medium format film 🎞️
#portra400 on the #canon1v and #mamiya6
I’m Loraine and in a world full of ai I love photographing on film. 🎞️
Film slows me down, makes me intentional, and lets weddings feel like moments.
I photograph for feeling over perfection.
For atmosphere, shadow, texture and nostalgia.
For couples who want their day to look and feel like a memory.

If this speaks to you, my books are open and I’d love to hear about your plans.
I’ve been trying to share mostly film work on Instagram lately, but last Monday’s elopement was simply too beautiful not to post.
Moments like this remind me how lucky I am to do what I do. I get to meet the most wonderful people and photograph stories that feel deeply personal, creative and completely unique to them.
Sheridan and Donovan planned the most beautiful Edinburgh elopement in the city where they got engaged on Christmas Day. They first met while studying Theatre Performance at university and started dating in their final year, and that creative spirit was woven through every part of their day.
From thoughtful details to the way they moved through the city together, everything felt effortless, stylish and authentically them.
I can’t wait to get their film scans back and share more from this gorgeous day. 🎞️✨

A dreamy evening with Ilhem & Alex in East Lothian. The most beautiful sunset we could have imagined. So excited to photograph this pair get married later this month ✨
All images shot #onfilm (Portra 400 & Kodak Gold 200) with #pentax645n & #canon1v
Some film frames from Cat & Luke’s gorgeous day at @rossie_on_the_earn earlier this month 🎞️✨
Everything felt relaxed, joyful and full of life from start to finish.
Colourful flowers, emotional hugs, confetti, guests spilling out into the sunshine between the rain showers, and a very dreamy bluebell wander before the evening kicked in. The kind of day that didn’t try too hard, but felt beautiful in every single moment because of it.
Rossie was the perfect backdrop for it all too. Warm, laid back and full of those soft little pockets of light I’m always chasing on film.
Sarah & Ryan – The Secret Garden
It was such a joy to go back to where I grew up and photograph Sarah and Ryan for their pre-wedding shoot. The beautiful ruins of an old estate beside my grandparents house on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Where I used to daydream about being Mary from “The Secret Garden” and hear stories from my uncle about the eccentric old man that used to live the house. Thank you for trusting my vision ✨
“Sometimes since I’ve been in the garden I’ve looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden – in all the places.”
