I help you enjoy your wedding day so you get the kind of photos that don’t feel posed or stiff. Because your day isn’t a formality. It’s your story.
It’s wild. It’s real.
My approach to Edinburgh wedding photography is rooted in storytelling and a stress free experience
Full day coverage includes the first 3 dances and usually 30 minutes of dance floor shenanigans. I know how quickly your wedding day will go by. Let me worry about the timeline so you can spend the night making memories and enjoying the heck out of your wedding day!
From prep to party
I've worked with a few photographers that hide in another room during dinner - you'll see me floating around getting candid shots of you and your guests. I creatively capture the decor and atmosphere of your party, including guests laughter and clinking glasses.
Decor & Guests
When it comes to family and bridal party formals, I'll pose you down to your fingertips. But I also love to let things happen organically like friends coming up to congratulate you in the middle of capturing a family portrait - this is NOT something I am going to stop. I can retake a traditional portrait. I can not recreate the smile and tears that come from this interaction.
candid moments
My approach is candid and playful, guiding you with fun prompts into natural poses. I’ll keep track of time so you don’t have to, and if weather rolls in, no worries, I always arrive early to the venue to find the best backup locations. Plus I work very quickly so you can get back to the party and enjoy your day!
Posing & direction
I find Scottish unity traditions so fascinating and love the varities like handfasting, unity candle, or The Quaich Ceremony. No matter how you choose to celebrate I'll be ready to capture your guests reactions and your first kiss.
Ceremony
I'm here to help you feel comfortable so you can enjoy your wedding day! If you are getting ready in the same location I can go back and forth between rooms. There is of course the chance that I can miss moments so if pre wedding candids with your favorite people are important to you I'd recommend choosing a 2 photographer package so you both have a dedicated photographer.
we're going to laugh a lot

From beginning to end, She answered every question. Always quick to respond. Provided details of the process, and insight to make my wedding as special as can be. She made my entire family comfortable. She went above and beyond and all the wedding photos are perfect, gorgeous and incredible. She captured each special moments, from rehearsal, to both bride and groom sides, to the ceremony and reception. Her skills made my wedding very memorable.

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.
Jessica + Omar
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
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!
Sarah + Brandon
easily the best decision i made
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 :)
Sarah + Brandon
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!!
