Wedding Photography

I use two professional Canon camera bodies as well as a range of Canon L Series lenses, Sigma Art lenses,  flash guns and light modifiers. The range of lenses I have covers a variety of photographic situations and allows for back-ups should one of them decide not to work!

I also carry plenty of SD cards with me. Whilst I shoot, the photographs taken are automatically backed up in at least one other place than the main SD card. When I get back to my office, these images are backed up again both physically and in the cloud.

Thankfully I’ve not had to deal with equipment failure yet and do all I can to prevent such issues by investing in high quality equipment and looking after my cameras and lenses like they are my babies!

*Jumps around in excitement!* I'm delighted you like my work and are looking to book me for your wedding! First step is to get in touch. You can do this by filling out the contact form here. Please give as much information about your wedding and photography needs as you can. 

I'd love to meet up with you in person over coffee or via Facetime/Zoom (coffee optional) to talk about the plans you've made so far and what you are looking for in terms of photography on your big day before you book. Choosing a photographer that gels with you and understands your needs is so important so I highly recommend meeting with any potential wedding photographer before booking.

If you are really keen to secure your date first and don't want to wait, I'm happy to meet up at a later time to discuss your plans. You can secure your date with a £350 non-refundable retainer and signing a wedding photography contact. This can all be done online via your own personal client portal which I will email you a link to. I'll also need to you fill out a short questionnaire just to make sure I have all the correct names and contact details.

You will receive a link and password to your online wedding gallery typically between 5-8 weeks after your wedding day (this can be sooner during winter month or slightly longer in peak months). From your online gallery you can download all high resolution edited images and purchase prints, framed prints, folios, cards and more.

You’ll also receive a sneak-peak preview gallery of around 20 images within 2 weekdays of your wedding so you can share some photographs with your friends and family right away!

Absolutely! Once you have received your password protected online gallery you can easily share individual images or the whole gallery with friends and family via social media or email.  You can also choose to make some images private within your gallery should you not wish to share them with your guests.

Gallery guests (friends and family) can also download web resolution image files for free and make purchases from the gallery store.

Although the majority of photographs I'll take on your wedding day will be more of a 'documentary' style, I can and will take posed bridal party/family/group photographs too if requested. About 6-8 weeks before your big day I'll send out a questionnaire where you'll be able to let me know which group photographs you want. This helps me plan ahead and capture the photographs you want as quickly as possible so you and your guests can get on and enjoy the day! I'll prioritise these photographs you want as a couple before photographing any guest requests on the day.

I usually take such photographs right after the ceremony whilst everyone is still in the same place and can be found. I start with the largest group photographs first and/or those with very young or old family members or guests in them. The time these photographs will take will depend on the number of photographs requested and the size of the groups. I try to keep the time taken to around 30 mins max. if possible. 

Not at all! I will always endeavour to visit your wedding ceremony and reception venue(s) with my camera in the weeks or days before your wedding day if I haven't shot at that wedding venue recently or at the same time of year before. I also try and visit at the same time of day as when you'll be having your couple and group photos taken so I can get a good idea of what the natural light will be like. This gives me a chance to scout out locations for your couple photos and to get an idea of what the ceremony and reception spaces are like. I also use the opportunity to introduce myself to the minister, priest and/or wedding coordinator so I can easily coordinate with them on your wedding day if necessary. 

If for whatever reason I can't visit your venue(s) in advance, I'll arrive much earlier on the day of your wedding to take a quick look around. I will also look up existing photographs of the venue online to get an idea of what to expect. Although, my time as a nightlife photographer has prepared me well for the unknown and difficult lighting situations should I need to think on my feet! 

I've photographed at and are familiar with the following wedding venues in Scotland:
Drumtochty Castle, Aswanley, Barn at Barra, Schivas Steading, Cluny Castle, Elsick House, Gordon Castle, Achnagairn Estate, Logie Country House, Meldrum House, Maryculter House, Banchory Lodge, Raemoir House, Trump International MacLeod House, The Chester Aberdeen, Cortes House, Durn House, Pittodrie House, Thainstone House, The Falls at Feugh, Norwood Hall, The Palm Court, Cambo Country House, Balbirnie House, The Byre at Inchyra, Taypark House, Fingask Castle, The Caledonian Waldorf Astoria, The Old Dr Bells Baths, Eilean Donan Castle and Shieldaig Lodge. 

I'm more than happy to photograph you wedding on my own (along with a lighting assistant if needed), however if you are planning a large wedding (100+ day guests), want both partners preparations photographed or you just want lots and lots of candid photographs then you can add-on a second photographer to your chosen investment from £300. I carefully handpick second shooters with previous wedding experience and similar shooting style to me.
