I'm originally from California and now based in Edinburgh, Scotland where I met the love of my life!
It was my life goal to experience the magic of walking down the cobbled streets that inspired Harry Potter and now I live here!
I was raised on the cinema and inspired by it, so I bring that magic and wonder into everything I create.
Connecting and sharing Edinburgh's history and beauty with people is what makes my heart beat hardest.

Chanelle
Scotland Retreat
Scotland guide and potterhead
working with Chanelle was so much FUN and unbelievably RELAXED.
I will forever be honored to serve the LGBTQIA+ community in Scotland and worldwide. It's a curious thing to have to state, but please know that to me love is love and every couples wedding is just as magical as any other in the wide wizarding world.
This retreat is inclusive there will be LGBTQIA+ model couples. This is a safe space and every couple I work with deserves to feel at ease, bringing their true selves to the photoshoot.
To all models and attendees, you’re in safe hands, no matter your gender identity, body type, sexual orientation, beliefs, background, age, neurodiversity, ability, or any other unique aspect of your being. Your authenticity is celebrated here, where love knows no bounds.
Statement of Inclusivity
the love is magic philosophy
An innate ability to make us feel COMFORTABLE and CHERISHED in front of the camera.
