Creative, honest and relaxed wedding photography in Scotland.
Worried about choosing the right wedding photographer? Not into traditional, cringey posing and forced smiles? That’s usually how my enquiries start, and, without question, one of the most common worries from my wedding couples.
You’ve landed in the right place. I am here to help reassure you that it doesn’t have to be this way.
With hundreds of weddings under my belt, I have nailed the approach for capturing those chill, intimate moments without the cringe factor. We’ll capture the memories of your day in an authentic, documentary meets relaxed, editorial style. All the beauty, all the joy, none of the faff.
So, worry no more. I’m here to make you feel at ease and ensure we have a blast creating photos you’ll actually love.
Wedding photography for modern couples who want to relax and enjoy the moment.
So, how do I create those memories? Put simply, I like to get stuck in! I’ll spend some time getting to know you, your guests and family, which helps create a laid-back vibe, with everyone feeling more comfortable. That’s how we capture all the best bits of the day, with those genuine emotions and reactions.
During the couple shoot, you’ll already feel comfortable with me being around. Don’t think of it as a photoshoot and I won’t take you away for hours! Instead, we’ll go for a short walk, have a blether and the rest takes care of itself! We won’t do any awkward or unnatural posing. We will have a laugh!
Later on in the day, you might spot me busting some dad moves on your dance floor as I sneakily get the photos everyone wants to see!
Pricing & Investment
If you connect with my work and approach to weddings, you’re probably wondering about your options and pricing. My approach to this is simple and, based on years of experience, I have created a number of options for you to choose from.
I don’t believe in hidden costs and I try to be as transparent as possible in the investment you are making with your wedding photography. I also believe in trying to keep my pricing as accessible as possible. Yet, wedding photography is just that - an investment. I’m not just the guy that takes photos, but the person you trust to photograph a once-in-a-lifetime event and that is a pretty significant responsibility that I both love and take seriously.
If for any reason, these options are not suitable for you, reach out and I will be happy to put together a bespoke quotation.

Got questions?
-
I am based just outside Glasgow, and I am delighted to travel all over Scotland photographing weddings. I am happy to consider requests to travel outside Scotland, depending on my availability.
Travel fees are included for the entirety of Central Scotland.
-
My packages are built around the events of your day and I am very flexible with timings. So, if you book a full day package, I will be there from morning preparations through to dancing. My packages are designed to be flexible to meet your wedding schedule.
-
Every wedding is unique, but as a general guide, you will receive 500+ beautiful photographs during a full day wedding.
-
Of course! I am happy to photograph these more traditional style group photographs on the day, and I offer guidance in how to make best use of your time. I try to keep them fun and this gets the best reactions out of everyone!
-
Yes! These are available to add on to any service. I also have a very special wedding album bundle available. You can purchase prints and frames from your gallery store when you receive your digital photos.
-
After photographing hundreds of weddings over the past 10 years, I now limit myself to around 30 weddings per year. I feel this is the right number where I can balance my work with my young, growing family. This ensures all my couples get the best service I can provide.
-
I aim to turn around final galleries within 12 weeks. I also provide a very generous sneak peek within a few days of the wedding so you have something to share!
-
I am insured with both professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
If the worst happens (don’t jinx it!), don’t worry. I have a network of professional photographers who can provide cover in the event that something terrible happens to me! That said, it would take the worst case scenario but it’s better to be prepared.
Beautiful print boxes and albums.
I believe you should have something tangible to remember your day and encourage all my couples to print their photos. Print is the forever medium. One day, digital photos will get lost, left on an old computer or taken over by the next advancement in technology.
Prints are the one thing you can hand down and physically share with your loved ones. That’s why I include a bundle of professional, colour graded prints for all my couples and more can be purchased at any time from your own personal web gallery.
I also offer a range of stunning, modern wedding albums in a range of materials. These start at just £400.
