After qualifying at Napier University, my career began with product and commercial photography, where good lighting and technical excellence are crucial. This background enables me to achieve consistently good results when photographing weddings, in any weather conditions.

When I meet with the Bride and Groom, I show them my portfolio and take a note of their requirements. When your booking is confirmed I arrange to shoot a free portrait, which is great rehearsal, especially for those who are uneasy about having their photo taken. It also means that we can practice ideas for their wedding day.

My work is a relaxed documentary style, allowing the time to capture many informal photographs of the guests as events unfold.
When the portion of the day spent on formal group photographs is kept to a minimum, it means the bride and groom can maximize the time spent enjoying their wedding day. I am based in Edinburgh and have photographed weddings from Perthshire to Berwickshire in the borders and North Berwick in East Lothian.
