Helping you feel comfortable so that you can have fun on your wedding day
One of my couples said this on their wedding day and I thought:
so much FUN and unbelievably RELAXED
Yes, that’s exactly how your wedding day should feel
Ridiculously joyful.
Authentically you.
My approach to Edinburgh wedding photography is rooted in storytelling. I focus on candid moments, genuine emotion, and the little in-between memories that often matter most. The laughter, the happy tears, the chaos, the quiet — all captured honestly, with care and creativity.
Having documented over 200 weddings and almost 2 decades in the wedding industry, I approach every wedding with the knowledge that my photos will become your legacy. I put so much of my heart and soul into photography. It's an honour and a gift to photograph these cherished memories and I do not take that lightly.
My wedding photography is documentary style, capturing candid moments as they happen, combining this with natural and fun posing. A lot of my couples tell me that I made them feel comfortable and incredibly relaxed, and that's really important to me - that comfortable feeling translates into killer photos!
A Wedding Photography Experience That Feels Easy and fun
90% Candid, 10% Magic
You deserve a fun photographer that knows how to make you feel comfortable and helps you enjoy the hell out of your day!
My couples tend to be sentimental, adventurous and even non traditional, choosing to do activities that feel more personal. Your day should celebrate all the unique and fun aspects of who you both are and what your relationship feels like.
Expect gentle guidance when you need it, space when you don’t, and zero pressure to “perform.”
Relaxed, Magical Scotland Elopements
An innate ability to make us feel COMFORTABLE and CHERISHED in front of the camera.
I'm a photographer that moved from California to Edinburgh for the love of my life.... and of course Harry Potter! Now I'm living my passion of documenting love and exploring Scotland with my husband!!
I put so much of my heart and soul into photography
because I believe love is pretty freaking magical!
