it’s me, hi, I’m the

problem it’s me

I'm your local ginger, pizza-loving adventurer, based just outside Edinburgh. When I'm not at a wedding you'll find me exploring in our camper van Elton, wild swimming with the kids, or wrapped up in a blanket getting slightly too competitive at a board game. My love language is quality time, I don't drink tea (but I do drink beer — thanks, NYC 2019), and I will always, always choose pizza.

I shot my first wedding in 2022 and I've been completely obsessed ever since. Over 150 weddings later, I still pinch myself that this is my actual job — spending the most joyful days of people's lives with them, camera in hand, trying to do justice to all of it. I've photographed elopements on remote Scottish hillsides, big fat DIY parties in village halls, and everything in between. Whatever your day looks like, I'm in.

Feeling

I'm a wedding photographer for fun-loving, laid-back couples who want to celebrate their day their way. Whether that's grabbing beers in town after a chilled micro-wedding, throwing a big DIY party packed with colour and personality, or heading off on an adventurous elopement somewhere wild — I'm here for it.

After 150+ weddings, I've learned that the best photos don't come from stiff poses or forced moments. They happen when people feel relaxed enough to be themselves. My job is to create that space for you.

I shoot documentary, which means that I am always watching for the real moments. The joy, the nerves, the chaos, the little interactions that might pass in a second but end up meaning everything when you look back. Because when you open that gallery in 10, 20 or 30 years' time, I want you to recognise yourselves in it. Not an overly-polished, posed version of you — you you. And I want you to feel the day all over again.

On the day I'll be more than just the person with the camera. I'll be a calm presence, a friendly face, and occasionally the person making friends with your pals (we'll bond over MAFS Australia or RuPaul's Drag Race) and reminding them to grab me when the dance floor gets good.

I love love — almost as much as I love pizza — and I'd be absolutely delighted to third-wheel your wedding.

If you've read this far and you're nodding along, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a message and let's talk about your day — no hard sell, no faff, just a proper wee chat about what you're planning.

LOCATION

LOCATION

Based in Edinburgh, I shoot weddings all across Scotland — from the Highlands and Islands to the Borders, the cities and everywhere in between.

I'm also very happily available for destination weddings and elopements further afield. If your venue involves a ferry, a long drive, or a particularly dramatic view, consider me already packed.

Travel fees may apply for weddings outwith mainland Scotland — just ask and I'll let you know what's involved.
