"Like something from a film. We knew immediately when we met Josh we had picked the right person to shoot our wedding - - he was personable, warm and made us feel so comfortable." - Lindsay and Alex
After dedicating four years to nursing studies at the University of Edinburgh, I realized it wasn't the right path for me. Post-graduation, I embarked on a quest for something more fulfilling, more creative, and more authentically "ME." That's when I transitioned from witnessing people at their most vulnerable to capturing them at their absolute best. I can't wait to share that passion with you through my lens.

"Great guy, awesome photos!"

Josh made us feel so relaxed and comfortable! And that's quite an achievement because we're both pretty camera shy. We had all our favourite music playing and we were free to go wherever we wanted - we basically just had a day out while Josh took snaps, and then every once in a while he'd spot a particularly good photo opportunity and give us suggestions and stuff. Literally can't imagine it going better. Would highly recommend!

"The perfect experience"

We had a brilliant time with Josh from Folkstorie. He went above and beyond to make my partner and I comfortable, despite us both being rather camera shy. The shoot itself was really fun as Josh is super friendly and a chatty guy- who makes you feel at ease throughout (resulting in excellent and natural looking shots)! There is a beautiful tone to the images, which looks better than the location did in real life.

"Can't recommend enough!"

My fiance and I had a blast doing our engagement photos! We were pretty nervous beforehand and didn't know what to expect, but Josh kept it so fun and relaxed. And we are completely IN LOVE with the photos!!

"Couldn't have asked for a better experience"

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Josh. He captured the magic, mystery, celebration, and romance we envisioned for our wedding. Not only was he an absolute pleasure to be around, there were many times, I didn’t even know he was there -pure wedding talent. Enough of my praise; the pictures speak for themselves. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Josh!

"Josh was an absolute joy to be around"

Josh was an absolute joy to be around. He was so easy to work with, and excited for us, he felt like one of the guests. We were sad to see him go when the day was done. Thank you for everything. Your photos are beautiful.

"Like something from a film"

Myself and my now husband booked Folkstorie Photography (the lovely Josh) last year for our December 2023 wedding - we also opted to have an engagement shoot with Josh before the big day to meet up and get comfortable in front of the camera. He suggested stunning location and the photos were epic! Like something from a film. We knew immediately when we met Josh we had picked the right person to shoot our wedding, he was personable, warm and made us feel so comfortable. [see link for more]

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My own!! (I have to say that, my wife wouldn't be happy otherwise)...

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Cinematic, relaxed, artistic, candid, natural.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Honestly, my customer service. I'm confident in my photos, of course, but I absolutely LOVE helping couples out in any way that I can. Providing a wedding guide beforehand, flexibility with booking options, being available for my couples, and giving the BEST service on the wedding day are all parts of what make Folkstorie special.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Be selfish. It's the only time you'll hear me say that!! The wedding day is yours, YOU are the main characters. So make it personal, make it special to you, and don't let anyone get in your way! ;)

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Home-made wedding rings. Phenomenal.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

First off, we'll have a chat to make sure we're a great fit! I want to be able to serve all my couples to the best of my ability, so we need to make sure that we'll get along. If you're keen, we'll get you booked in and secure your date!! At this point I'll send you my Wedding Guide. It gives you everything you need to know about my style and what to expect from the exciting journey ahead, plus a bunch of super helpful planning information and tips! I'll be sure to check in with you leading up to the wedding and get all the information I need so everything runs smoothly. You don't need to worry about a thing, I'll keep you up-to-date and sort everything on my end!

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

A cuddle. Sounds simple, maybe a bit silly right? Trust me, doing something as natural as a cuddle makes for a great photo. You'll be comfortable, and wrapped up in each other. I promise this will be beautiful.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

The 'under the veil' shot. Absolutely love it.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

A good mood!! For obvious reasons, rain can put a dampener (pun intended) on your wedding day - but it doesn't have to! The best thing you can do is to stay positive and stick to your plans, even if that means getting soggy... If you've got wellies and an umbrella, even better! Rainy shots can be absolutely stunning, so let's do it!

Describe how you got into photography.

My sister in law has been in the industry for 10+ years and is simply a brilliant artist. She took me on after I finished university and trained me up, I owe her pretty much everything. Since then I've built my own business from the ground up and I'm so proud of the service and product that I provide!
