Anna & Duncan / Hopetoun House / 12.04.25

The sun was shining. A Bentley pulled up the gravel drive. And inside one of Scotland’s grandest stately homes, Anna walked down the aisle towards Duncan — full of emotion, both of them just holding it together.

Hopetoun House, with over 300 years of history and a starring role in Outlander, brought all the grandeur — sweeping staircases, baroque interiors, and the opulent ruby red drawing room. It’s bold, baroque, and completely breathtaking.

The perfect backdrop for a day full of joy, tears, and seriously scrumptious dining.

TL;DR: I love this job…

Everything about this shoot felt as easy-going as Khalen & Taylor themselves — a whisky-loving couple from Tennessee, visiting Scotland to scout wedding venues for their big day.

Editing their photos literally gave me chills. It still catches me off guard how much I genuinely love what I do. Every couple brings something totally unique. For these two, it was their effortlessly carefree energy (and not to mention, their fantastic fashion sense).

I find this a lot with international couples, I speculate this is because they are the kind of people that say “F it. let’s get married in Scotland? Yolo”.

I’ve had the chance to meet the kindest humans from 🇺🇸 to 🇸🇬 to 🇬🇧 (all over the globe), and sharing our wee corner of this planet with them never gets old.

Which slide is your favourite? I genuinely want to know! I love these photos.

Emma & Craig / 07.04.25 / The Scotsman Hotel + Edinburgh City Chambers

For couples dreaming of an elevated yet effortless city celebration, this is how it can look.

Emma & Craig chose to keep things intimate — a wedding party of ten, but every detail considered. The day began at the Scotsman Hotel, sunlight streaming through the windows and views across Edinburgh’s skyline, from Calton Hill to the Balmoral.

Their ceremony at the City Chambers, perfect location for an intimate wedding, with so many options for photos around town afterwards, it’s a winner.

They then headed for refined candlelit dinner back at the Scotsman in one of the private dining rooms — elegant, atmospheric, and highly refined. I recommend this as a potential idea for other couples looking for a city based intimate wedding!

Ben & Katy / Newhall Estate / 15.03.25

☀️ 20 frames from their rather splendid intimate wedding.

With the sun shining from start to finish, it truly felt like the beginning of spring wedding season is finally here!

A day full of emotion and storytelling moments. A photographers dream. Hats off to the chef for cooking the most delicious paella, what a unique menu.

After receiving their next day preview, Katy wrote back:

“Just wow, these absolutely took our breath away. We truly are speechless, they are all absolutely beautiful!!! We absolutely love them!

We honestly can’t thank you enough for the care and the thought that you have put into capturing every single moment of the best day of our lives. We are so happy to hear how much you enjoyed the day too!

We feel honoured to be given the opportunity to relive such an incredible day over and over again with your photos! Thank you so so much!“

Jay & Sam / Edinburgh

I had so much fun taking part in workshops lately. Wonderful to hear some new perspectives and keep a pulse on what’s happening in the world of wedding photography.

As well as hearing from all kinds of fantastic speakers, I took part in some practical workshops, this was one was put on by the wonderful based up in Skye.

Although I originally wanted to keep this for my new account, I just couldn’t not post them here. I love this style of cinematic storytelling.

Idea: I can imagine a series of photos like this would work well in a wedding magazine (made by you for your guests), a wedding website or just some cool photos for a creative couple or family who wants the chance to dress up, and make something unique together. .

I’m off to glencoe for photoshoot tomorrow! I think I’m going to try make a bts. Praying for snow.

I just shot my last elopement… kind of. 😉 Let me explain. 👇

If you haven’t heard, I’ve split my work into two brands! Why? Because I have a vision, and I’m going all in.

🎩 is all about luxury weddings—glamour, editorial vibes, Scottish castles, and epic destination celebrations. Think big, bold, and breathtaking.

🏔 is for the adventurous souls—elopements in Glencoe, micro weddings in Edinburgh, and running away to the Isle of Skye with just the one you love.

And to celebrate this fresh start, we’re offering something special.

Wishing you all the happiest Valentine’s day!

Truth be told we threw this photo together in just ten minutes. Sabine had jumped off a call with work and I threw on a shirt and trousers I hadn’t seen since last summer.

This is our first family photo since Hugo joined our clan. Unscripted, mid moment, just us being us. Relaxed vibes.

If anyone else is interested in a photoshoot at home, please do drop me a DM. I have some quiet weeks until April when things take off again 🚀

Think of your pre-wedding photoshoot like an entrée—just enough to whet your appetite. No pressure, just a little taste test before the main course. The perfect way to calm those pre-wedding jitters.

These shoots are always fun and relaxed. Grab a coffee. Hop in a gallery. Rent bike spontaneously.

Document this important time in your life, together.

Here we have 10 slides from Karl & Roisins Edinburgh pre-wedding session - I can’t wait to photograph their wedding this summer 🥂

Michael & Jessica 🇺🇸 / Glenapp Castle 🏰

A true fairytale wedding bathed in sunlight at the stunning Glenapp Castle. From the horse and carriage to their falconry display (with an owl who delivered their rings)—and even a trip to the beach—every moment was filled with Scottish magic.

Jeffrey & Monique! Dream clients. Dream venue. Dream team 🎉 I had a lot of fun with these two. From their pre-wedding session chasing waterfalls to their absolutely gigantic wedding (approaching 200 guests) this was one I will certainly never forget…

I really need to make a second post about the traditional Chinese games. Where Jeffrey had to essentially break into the house and perform tasks to win the bridesmaids approval to marry Monique. Lol this was a hillarious start to the day, full of energy and laughter.

We were there to capture it all on photo and video. Lookout for the film teaser coming soon.

Introducing the insatiable Olly and Lucas!

These two tied the knot on a radiant autumn day at the stunning Cornhill Castle in Scotland.

With Olly rocking a red velvet dinner jacket while Lucas went for traditional Scottish wedding attire. Bridesmaids in sleek black dresses were definitely a vibe. Everyone looked amazing!

Definitely one to remember! We were there to capture it all on photos and video… some snippets from their epic highlight video coming soon.

Suzanna & Ragan / Toronto ➡ Edinburgh / Sunrise Session

It’s engagement season, so what better time to share some photos from one of my couple sessions? This one was a little different—Suzanna & Ragan officially tied the knot just a few days before in their hometown of Toronto! For their honeymoon, they travelled over to Edinburgh, where we arranged a sunrise shoot.

Sure, it was a bit nippy (it’s Scotland in winter, after all), but the quiet streets made it so worth it. With sunrises as late as 9am at this time of year, it’s perfect for those who aren’t morning people. And the light? Absolutely magical—almost perpetual golden hour with the sunsetting mid afternoon.

These photos feature the gorgeous Meera & Ross, one of my real couples (I promise they are not actual models, I know it’s hard to believe) who are getting married in Scotland in 2025 and wanted some adventurous outdoor photos to get them ready for their big day. I must say, I had a wonderful time with these two, from the staying with them for a night and then getting up for sunrise and hiking to The Old Man of Storr.

The winner will be chosen at random on New Year’s Day.

Let’s make your wildest, most romantic adventure come to life. Good luck, lovers! 💫
