I believe the best wedding photographs begin with a wedding that's truly lived.
That's why I specialise in documentary wedding photography in Edinburgh and across Scotland—capturing your day as it naturally unfolds, rather than directing or interrupting it.
Your wedding is about celebrating with the people you love. It's the excitement before the ceremony, the hugs, the laughter, the happy tears, the conversations, the dance floor and all the little moments in between that you'll remember for years to come.
My role is simple: to quietly observe, anticipate those moments and preserve them as they happen, allowing you to stay fully present throughout your day.
Documentary wedding photography that feels natural - documentary wedding photography (sometimes called reportage wedding photography) is about telling the genuine story of your wedding through honest moments rather than staged ones. Instead of constantly directing the day, I blend naturally into the background, photographing the real connections between you, your family and your friends. The result is a collection of photographs that reflects not only how your wedding looked, but how it truly felt.
Relaxed portraits that still feel like you - while most of the day unfolds naturally, I also know that you'll want a few beautiful portraits together. My approach is relaxed and uncomplicated. A little gentle guidance. A quiet moment away from the celebrations. Then it's back to enjoying your wedding. The portraits never become the focus of the day—they simply become part of it.
More than memories of how it looked - years from now, I don't just want you to remember your flowers, your dress or the venue. I want you to remember how your dad looked at you before the ceremony. The laughter during the speeches. The people who travelled to celebrate with you. The atmosphere. The feeling. Because the most meaningful photographs aren't just about what happened. They're about how it felt to be there.
See how it feels - every wedding is different, but the philosophy behind my work never changes - your wedding comes first. Beautiful photographs simply follow.
