My first ever wedding - April 2022. I've known the bride since I was five, and to be playing such a big part in her day was an honour! Plus, my brother was the singer in the wedding band!
relaxed, real-life moments, natural tones
I built my business from the ground myself, and have fully booked 2023, 2024 and almost 2025!
lists - you can never have too many!
My bride had the same tweed as her husband's kilt wrapped around the stems of her bouquet!
once i have recieved your initial enquiry, i will be in touch to discuss packages, pricing, location, and what you are looking for from me. If I feel I can serve you to the best of my abilities, with results you will be happy with, I will book you in, and we will take it from there!
About five/six weeks before your wedding, I will meet with you either in person or via Zoom to help create a rough timeline, and go over all the information I need for the day.
have your first kiss with the guests in the background - all your loved ones instead of just your officiant!
That time my bride and groom married at Edinburgh Zoo and had their photos taken with the giraffes springs to mind... (best. day. ever!!!!!)
clear umbrellas, wellies, and an indoor backup plan - fear not, I will help you come up with one!
My love for photography came from my dad, who would always be taking photos, of everything. He let me borrow his film camera, when I was 13, to practice taking some shots, and the rest is history!
He taught me to always look for the sweet candid moments, and to try and bring those memories to life.
