If you’re planning a wedding in Fife and searching for a Fife wedding photographer who captures real emotion, candid moments, and all the magic in between — hello, you’ve found your person.
Fife is one of those places that feels quietly magical. A mix of coastal villages, countryside, and historic homes that feel almost locked in time. It’s romantic without being showy, relaxed without losing its sense of tradition — and it’s one of my favourite places in Scotland to photograph love stories.
Why Get Married in Fife?
Fife offers something truly special for couples who want their wedding day to feel intentional, intimate, and deeply connected to place.
From coastal paths with views of the bridges, to charming villages and stately historic homes, Fife is perfect for:
- Intimate weddings focused on family and tradition
- Elopements surrounded by nature
- Relaxed celebrations where the day unfolds naturally
Some of the most beautiful Fife wedding venues (and very high on my bucket list) include:
- Historic and rustic venues like Kilrie Granary, Pratis Barns and The Den at Culross
- Elegant stately homes such as Balbirnie House, Balmule House and Kinnettles Mansion
These venues pair beautifully with a documentary photography style — especially for couples who want their day to feel effortless and real.
Hey, I’m Chanelle — Your Fife Wedding Photographer
I’ve photographed over 200 weddings since 2012, and while I work across Scotland, Fife holds a special place in my heart.
Dalgety Bay and Dunfermline are where I spend time visiting my husband’s family, and some of my favourite weekends are spent:
- Walking the Avenue between Dalgety Bay and Aberdour
- Brunching at Café Verde in Burntisland
- Exploring coastal paths, villages, and woodland trails
Knowing an area in this way — not just as a photographer, but as someone who spends real time there — makes such a difference when it comes to planning relaxed, meaningful photo experiences.
Documentary Wedding Photography That Feels Natural & Fun
My approach as a Fife wedding photographer is documentary-led, with gentle guidance when you need it.
That means:
- Mostly candid, unposed moments
- Minimal but clear direction (you don’t need to be models — ever)
- Photos that feel like you, not a performance
Most couples tell me they feel awkward in photos. The truth? You’re not awkward — you just need a little reassurance and simple guidance. I’ll tell you exactly what to do with your hands, help you feel comfortable, and create space for you to be fully yourselves.
Engagements, Elopements & Family Sessions in Fife
I’ve photographed engagements, elopements, and family sessions all across Fife, including:
- Dalgety Bay — woodland family sessions and windy, joy-filled shoots along the coast at Downing Point
- Aberdour — a picturesque Scottish village with a beautiful castle and coastal charm
- Dunfermline Abbey & Pittencrieff Park (The Glen) — romantic, historic, and full of natural beauty
- Culross — timeless streets and historic character, perfect for intimate elopements
Many couples choose Fife specifically for its outdoor spaces and quieter pace — especially for elopements and smaller weddings where connection matters most.
Why My Style Works So Well for Fife Weddings
Fife weddings often lean intimate, family-focused, and tradition-rich — and those are exactly the days where documentary photography shines.
Smaller celebrations mean:
- You feel comfortable sooner
- I get to know your people better
- I can capture genuine, emotional moments without interruption
Intimate weddings also require a photographer who knows how to support the flow of the day, keep things calm, and still make it fun. That’s where experience truly matters.
Words from Couples I’ve Photographed
“LOVE IS MAGIC!!! Chanelle made our wedding the most magical experience ever. She went beyond passive photography and created special moments throughout the entire day. From getting ready to the reception, everything felt intentional and joyful. 11/10 would recommend to anyone.”
This is always the goal — not just beautiful images, but an experience that feels supportive, calm, and genuinely magical.
Your Wedding Photos Are Your Legacy
Your wedding photos aren’t just for today.
They’re for:
- The people you love most, all together
- The moments you didn’t realise were happening
- The memories you’ll want to relive years from now
I approach every wedding knowing these images will become part of your family’s story. I pour my heart and soul into this work because it’s an honour to be trusted with moments this meaningful.
