so much FUN and unbelievably RELAXED
I also offer custom photo tours of Edinburgh.

made my entire family comfortable
I personally was nervous about not knowing how to pose and looking awkward in photos but Chanelle’s such a friendly and approachable person. She gave great direction when it came to posing. We felt very comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera with her. She really went above and beyond our expectations capturing the wide range of emotions throughout the wedding.

beyond our expectations
We could never have anticipated just how incredible our experience would be. Chanelle was more than just a wedding photographer; she became a storyteller, a confidante, and an artist devoted to framing our love in the most captivating way. But what was most impressive was her innate ability to make us feel comfortable and cherished in front of the camera. She didn’t just stage photos; she orchestrated moments. Every photo was a masterpiece. She captures not just your photo but your essence.

innate ability to make us feel comfortable
LOVE IS MAGIC!!! Chanelle made our wedding the most magical experience ever, she and her team went beyond mere passive photography and cinematography and went the extra 100 miles to create special moments and memories throughout the whole wedding, from getting ready all the way through the reception. 11/10 would recommend to anyone.

the most magical experience
Even though we had some hiccups with the snow melting before we got up there, she worked her magic and got us some amazing shots! Her communication throughout our entire experience was great and we always felt like a priority. Our wedding photos came out so beautiful and I can't stop looking at them! We would highly, highly recommend and will definitely be using her for any future shoots like maternity or baby pictures :)

WE ALWAYS FELT LIKE A PRIORITY
We are so in love with our photos, and she truly worked miracles as the weather was not our best friend that day. But Chanelle worked her magic and took the most beautiful images. She is very flexible and professional. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, and leading up to the wedding she will make sure to contact you to create a timeline to make sure she does not miss any special moments that you'll surely want photographed. We highly recommend her!!

truly worked miracles
Best wedding photographer ever! Having an experienced and enthusiastic person to listen to my ideas and help refine them was invaluable. On the day of the wedding, she was professional, kind to extended family members, had great suggestions for lighting and poses. She made me and my husband feel at ease and captured the mood of our day perfectly. When we first talked, she told me she would help me stick to my schedule and be my biggest cheerleader that day. She did all that and more!
