SAY HELLO

Please get in touch if you would like to enquire about my wedding photography or just say hello!

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland but available worldwide.

This made me so emotional to reflect back on and think about. Thank you to @jennaececelia for starting this trend ✨

I took my 18 year old self out for coffee. We were both 10 minutes late. You ordered a mocha and I ordered a lemon and ginger tea. We both wore vintage clothes and black eyeliner in a flick. Some things never change. 

You had just left school after a lifetime of being bullied and were studying art. Embracing life being happy for the first time ever and building up self confidence after years of having none. You had just won a photography competition and had work published in the Scotsman newspaper and got to photograph at T in the park music festival. Had met Martin Parr who had looked at your portrait work and given you the confidence to be a photographer. 

You took being bullied and stopped trying to fit in. You found your sense of self, authenticity, imagination and taste never being something or someone you are not. Knowing who are would be your superpower as a photographer always photographing from the heart rather than trying to be popular. 

She couldn’t believe everything I’ve achieved in life. She never thought that doing photography as a job would ever be something that would become a reality. That I own my own house and have a husband and a dog. 

I told her I’ll forever be proud of her for being brave and strong when things were hard. I told her she is stronger and more talented than she will ever realise. It will take time for it to click, but the internal validation will come with time.
How do you want to look at your wedding photos in 10, 20 or even 50 years time? How do you want your children or grandchildren to look at your photos? 

With the digital age, I feel we have stopped valuing having our photos printed. Images live on phones, USB sticks, had drives and never get printed. You go to find them years later and the technology is now obsolete. When I started photographing weddings I would deliver digital images on a DVD disk. 

One of the reasons why I went back to photographing on film again was my love for the physical. We have family photos going all the way back to 1894 and nothing feels better than getting out an album. I look at our own wedding album way more than I do the digital photos. 

I wanted to see how my film scans would look printed in an album and omg I am so in love. The images in this album were taken on a mix of 35mm & 120 medium format film. I went for a luxury matted style album with a minimalistic feel with a nostalgic vibe similar to my parents wedding album but with a more modern feel. 

A matted album is when your photos have a “frame” similar to how you would hang your photos on the wall vs a lay flat album where your photos are printed flat onto the page with no frame. 

If you are printing film photos, or a mix of film and digital I would recommend the matted style of album. They just feel like a work of art. 

Can we still get traditional prints from the negatives? 

Yes!! I can do darkroom prints for you and also have a lab that can print from your negatives. I would suggest having darkroom printed photos framed and put on your walls. Each photo is printed by hand using an enlarger, photo paper and photographic chemistry and is a unique work of art. 

Let’s get those photos off our computer and phone screens and get them printed. Get in touch via email or DM if you would like a chat about albums or prints of your wedding photos.

Do you have an album of your wedding photos?
Today marks 9 years of owning my Ice Blue coloured R56 Mini. It’s been such a joy driving this car all over Scotland and the UK photographing weddings and elopements. I’ve had sooo many of my couples in this car. 

My dad drove me in my car when I got married 2 years ago. I’ve got so many incredible memories of good times in this car. I loved this time in Glencoe when I parked in the Skyfall spot in Glen Etive.
What’s in my camera bag as a film wedding photographer.

I always get asked what cameras I use to photograph weddings on analogue film so here’s what’s in my bag:

35mm cameras:
- Pentax MX
- Canon eos 1V 
- Canon eos 3
- Canon eos 33v
- Canon Autoboy 2 point and shoot 

Medium Format: 
- Pentax 645n 
- Holga 

Super 8:
Canon 318M

Which cameras I use depends on the venue and the flow of the day. I typically use 1 digital camera (with a back up on site) and 2-3 film cameras.  Usually 2 x 35mm and my Pentax 645 for portraits and details.
