Edinburgh Wedding Photographer specialising in modern, contemporary reportage Wedding Photography. I love reportage wedding photography as I can tell the story of your day through stunning photographs so you can re-live the day as it happened without constant posing or direction. This means that often I melt into the crowd to capture those cherished and emotional moments when you and your guests being themselves and enjoying the day. I am available for UK & International weddings.

From Massachusetts to the heart of Edinburgh. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✨
Yesterday, Tiereny and Jacob crossed the Atlantic to tie the knot in beautiful Scotland, and what an absolutely incredible day it was. From morning preparations at Scotsman Hotel to a stunning ceremony at St. Mary’s Catholic Cathedral, Edinburgh turned on the charm for these two.
After a very brief stop at the Scott Monument for bridal party and family shots, we jumped straight into a taxi to chase the best views in the city. We hit Calton Hill, wandered down Victoria Street, and soaked in the atmosphere of the Grassmarket for some stunning couple portraits, before heading to for a cozy reception.
But the most beautiful detail of the day? Tiereny and Jacob shared their wedding dinner at the bar right next to a tribute setup for Tiereny’s late father—his jacket, a framed photo, and his presence deeply felt. 🤍
An absolute honor to capture these memories for such a wonderful couple. Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, you two! Enjoy the rest of your time exploring Scotland! 🥂

A gorgeous Monday at Archerfield for Maddie and Ben’s wedding!
A brilliant day from start to finish, with a beautiful ceremony by Dr Jock Stein at the stunning Dirleton Kirk. The bridesmaids brought the energy early on with all the TikTok vibes during prep. I really need to get on that..It’s 2026 after all😂.
After the ceremony we had a fantastic confetti cheer then a proper wave goodbye from the guests as Maddie and Ben drove away in the Carrera S back to Archerfield.
Huge thanks to Tracy, Victoria, and the Archerfield team, who were fantastic as always—even driving with the boot open so we could get some awesome tracking shots on the way to the waterfront. We finished up with some incredible views out over Fidra.
Congratulations Maddie & Ben! Thank you both so much for having me there with you and your very kind words. It really means a lot! Enjoy the mini-moon!

“Let’s get this party started!” 🥂✨
And wow, did they ever! Saturday was an absolute dream celebrating the new Mr. & Mrs. McKean at the stunning Broxmouth Courtyard. From a beautiful hand-fasting ceremony to a surprise sax player turning up the heat at the drinks reception, the energy was unmatched from start to finish. 🎷🌿 - Those sax party shots are amazing. So so good.
Holly and Grant, your vision of the perfect celebration came to life so beautifully (and getting to see wee Harris and your dog Chase as the ultimate ring bearer just melted everyone’s hearts! 🐶💍).
It was a total joy to be by your side capturing these memories. Have the most incredible time soaking up the sun on your honeymoon in Majorca! ☀️✈️

A fairytale setting for a truly magical couple. ✨ Snezhanna and Rowan tied the knot at the breathtaking Carlowrie Castle, surrounded by rich jewel tones, their closest family and friends, and so much love. From their meaningful hand-fasting ceremony to dancing the night away to Sam Cooke, every single moment was an absolute joy to capture.
Congratulations, Snezhanna & Rowan! Here is a little glimpse into your perfect day. 🥂🤍

It was an absolute pleasure to be invited to Combourg, France, to the Château du Grand Val for the wedding of Emily and Aaron. 
It was such a special few days with very special friends and families. Cherry Tree Films (Yvonne & Steve) and I met up with Emily and Aaron the day before for the rehearsal and to chat through the plan in a little more detail. It was lovely to meet everyone who traveled all the way from the USA to celebrate with the happy couple. 
Of course, this happened to be the hottest May week on record in France and the heat was intense. Never thought I’d say the weather was too good! 😄
The ceremony was set in a shaded area above the lake in the grounds, where they incorporated beautiful traditions like the circling and the signing of the ketubah. The reception then took place in front of the Château, with Emily and Aaron making their grand appearance on the balcony to cheers from their friends and family. 
After a delicious dinner by S&B Traiteur, they danced the night away to “Bewitched” by Laufey before kicking off a traditional Jewish Hora!. Being lifted up in chairs to cheers from loved ones—it was amazing! 🥂✨ 
Thank you both for a fantastic experience and an epic few days. Enjoy Disneyland Paris and Sicily!.

The sun was absolutely scorching at Garvock House this past weekend, but Zoe and Liam kept it totally cool with the most relaxed, chilled-out vibe you could imagine.
There is nothing quite like a summer wedding where the energy is high and the drinks are cold! Surrounded by their “Homegalz,” best mates, and a huge, loving family, Zoe and Liam’s day was a masterclass in how to have the best time ever. I actually said later in the evening …. “Now that’s how you do a wedding!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
From the gorgeous light blue details to that beautiful first dance to Mitski, every moment felt perfectly them.
Zoe and Liam, thank you so, so much for choosing me to be alongside you for your incredible day.
I hope you’re having the most amazing time soaking up even more sun on your honeymoon in Alicante! 🇪🇸✈️

A Scottish Fairytale Come True 🏰✨
From Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to stunning Carlowrie —Sydney and Thomas’s dream of a Scottish castle wedding became a breathtaking reality last week!
There is something truly magical about an intimate gathering where every guest has traveled across an ocean to witness a love story. Sydney and Tom said “I do” on the stunning grounds of Carlowrie Castle, surrounded by their closest family and friends. From the emotional vows to the traditional handfasting ceremony, the air was just thick with love.
The setting was perfectly complimented by the most beautiful spring palette of blush, mustard, and eucalyptus—not to mention that incredible outdoor ceremony. 🌸🌿
A massive thank you to Sydney and Thomas for choosing me capture their memories. I hope your honeymoon adventures through Skye and your hike up Ben Nevis are just as epic as your wedding day! (Love seeing your Scottish Adventure on Instagram.)
Special Shoutout:
It is always a fantastic day when I get to see David and Capella String Quartet perform.🎻 Your music provided the perfect soundtrack to a perfect afternoon. So, so good.
