Your story is unique & so is my approach to it.
Celebrate the fun and laughter and I’ll be there to capture it artfully and truthfully. I combine documentary & editorial photography on both film & digital for timeless, natural photos.
You want to be in the moment for your day!
and still get epic photos
Not a fan of being photographed? I hear ya, I don’t think anyone does! I like to work in a relaxed, creative documentary style veering away from traditional posed wedding photography.
Whilst I still take the traditional ‘formal’ shots of your family, the special moments and reactions from you and your guests are just as important as well as all the little details you spent time creating for your day. I’ll steal you away for a few shorter couple photo sessions lasting 10-15 minutes so you can enjoy your day.
We are a perfect match if:
You want stylish but laid-back photos
I work in a documentary style with some creative direction
You want to have fun and be in the moment
I’m here for the laughter and emotional moments
You want photos that feel like your day
My film & digital combination will take anyone viewing your gallery back to your day
I create laid-back photos with feeling
WHY I’m a Wedding Photographer
As a wedding photographer, my aim is to capture memories for you to share with generations to come. Having family photos dating back to 1894 is so powerful and important to me. My great granny was an avid photographer and had a super8 camera and I feel so grateful to have these photos.
When my grandad had his stroke in 2015, it completely changed my mindset about my business and the meaning of what I do. I connected on Facebook with a distant family member who sent me copies of a family album with photos of him. His long-term memory was the first thing to come back. He could remember everything in the old photos and the super8 film and had such joy from it. When I took the photos, it was the first time I had seen him really smile since he had the stroke. He reminisced about his cousins and laughed at the stories behind the images.
In 2019 I started climbing munros as he loves looking at his old albums of his munro bagging. When climbing my first munro I got chatting with a man who must have been a similar age to my granddad, I told him my story and my WHY and he said how amazing it was that I was doing it. As I reached the top I could feel the tears in my eyes.
The connections we have with each other mean so much, the memories, the photos. The legacy of who we are and the story of our journey through life. Weddings are such an important part of life and I’m so honoured to be part of every wedding I photograph.
Approach: moments, emotions & memories.
To me photography is all about telling a story, capturing the emotion of weddings and creating memories. We are all so special, and unique and each couple I work with has a different story and I always end up with a tear in my eye during the ceremony and speeches.
I like to work in a relaxed, creative documentary style with an editorial edge veering away from traditional posed wedding photography. I work without flash where possible making the use of available light to capture the emotion and mood of the day. Whilst I still take the traditional ‘formal’ shots of your family, the special moments and reactions from you and your guests are just as important as all the little details you spent time creating for your day.
Unless you want to spend lots of time doing photos or are having an elopement… I’ll normally steal you away for 2 or 3 smaller sessions lasting 10-15 minutes. If the weather is looking iffy we might pop out for one 30 mins session or switch things up a bit. I LOVE to photograph during the ‘golden hour’ when the light is at its best, so I might steal you out during dessert if I see some nice light.
In this digital era I believe that wedding books are even more important than ever and will be the first heirloom for your family. My family albums are so important to me.
THE EXPERIENCE
Your wedding photography is not just for capturing beautiful, timeless photos, but also about working with a professional who makes you feel confident and gives you an enjoyable process from the beginning to the end.
