I’m Chanelle — an award-winning Scotland wedding photographer, originally from California and now living in Scotland for love, adventure, and a bit of Harry Potter magic.
I’m a movie buff, obsessed with Harry Potter, Tim Burton, Wes Anderson and Christopher Nolan films. I quote Movies and TV shows like a second language.
I’ve been photographing weddings since 2012, and I put my whole heart into what I do because I genuinely believe love is pretty freaking magical.

Featured Scotland Wedding Photography — Real Love, Real Joy
You just need a wedding photographer that directs you with fun prompts into natural poses. Expect gentle guidance when you need it, space when you don’t, and zero pressure to perform.
Many couples tell me they think they are awkward in front of the camera — I promise you're not!
To bring your love story full circle, you’ll receive a complimentary album design which you can choose to turn into an heirloom album to remind you of your wedding experience. Your album is produced with archival, fine art and museum-grade materials that won't yellow, fade or age. It's the most magical way to preserve your memories for you and your family to cherish for generations to come.
Complementary album design
The best part about having a photography team is both of you get a dedicated photographer. There is no running back and forth between rooms, and no missed moments! We can focus on the couple and their interactions, while simultaneously documenting the guests, decor, and candid interactions happening throughout the venue. This ensures a rich and varied collection of images that truly reflect the essence of your day.
Benefits of 2 photographers
My favorite part of the whole experience is building a friendship with you. I'm invested in getting to know you because I will spend more time with you than any other vendor. 2-3 weeks before your wedding day, I will take you both on a Timeline Dinner date (on me) to iron out timeline details and share a few cocktails. It will make you feel so confident about your wedding and and you can tell me all about your friends and family and who you want blackmail photos of :)
Timeline dinner
Full day coverage includes the first 3 dances and a bit of open dance floor shenanigans - I don't hide in another room during dinner either - you'll see me creatively capturing the atmosphere of your party and getting candid shots of you and your guests. I know how quickly your wedding day will go by - Let me worry about the timeline so you can spend the night making memories!
From prep to party
When it comes to couple and family formals, I'll pose you down to your fingertips. For most of the wedding I like to take a documentary approach and 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 fun that come from this interaction.
candid moments
My approach is candid and playful, guiding you into poses that feel natural. 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. Remember your vendors will set the tone for your day so make sure to pick people that put you at ease.
we're going to laugh a lot

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!!
