Two handsome chaps at Gosford House 🤍

Ever since I moved to Scotland and first heard about Gosford House, I’ve dreamed of photographing there. The legendary marble interiors, the window light… the stuff of wedding photographers’ dreams.

It only took six years, but I finally got my chance. And honestly, the images I came away with were beyond anything I’d imagined.

This wasn’t a real wedding, but a workshop with Modern Luxe Club | Wedding Workshops a chance to experiment, push myself creatively and spend time with some incredibly talented people. I came away feeling inspired and reminded of how much I love doing this.

The styling, the details and the talent that brought it all together were out of this world. So much creativity in one place.

So here we go, Part 1…

Luxury hospitality lifestyle shoot / Glenapp Castle

Earlier this summer, we had the pleasure of working closely with the Glenapp Castle team to create a collection of lifestyle images for the launch of their beautiful Garden Suite, The Nest.

Seeing the images featured in publications including Condé Nast and Luxury Hospitality Magazine, as well as across Glenapp’s website and social channels, has been a real highlight for me.

Having photographed several weddings, elopements and engagements at Glenapp over the last few years, it was lovely to capture a different side of a place I’ve come to know well. I’ll be sharing more imagery from this shoot over on my blog soon.

Savannah & Hayden’s Scottish wedding story is on the BBC 🇺🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Such a proud moment to see this wonderful couple featured, and my images alongside their story.

Savannah and Hayden travelled from Pennsylvania for a fairytale wedding at Carlowrie Castle, and we also explored one of Scotland’s most iconic national parks.

Over the years I’ve worked with many couples traveling from all over the world to visit Scotland, with the majority coming from the USA.

Myself, I moved here from SW England almost a decade ago after spending two years backpacking and when i got here, it feels like I never stopped exploring. And I still feel that sense of excitement every time a couple visits.

Scotland is a land of fairytale castles and romantic landscapes. It’s the perfect location for a destination wedding or elopement.

I love showing the locations and helpling everyone make the most of their Scottish wedding adventure. It’s possibly my favourite part of this job.

Swipe for a few favourites from their time in Scotland, and read the BBC feature via my story.

A special thank you to Molly Henry who wrote this splendid feature.

Jack & Yasmin / Mallorca / Finca Ses Voltes 🇪🇸

What a dream it was to capture this epic destination wedding in Mallorca!

Not only was this my first overseas wedding, but it was also the wedding of one of my oldest friends, making it all the more special. To add to the excitement, there were two other couples celebrating with us whose weddings I’d also photographed. A pretty surreal moment!

J&Y certainly went big, celebrating in style with an incredible three-day wedding extravaganza, complete with everything you could possibly need for a weekend to remember.

For now, I’m sharing a selection of frames from the wedding day itself, but I’m looking forward to sharing more from the pre-wedding party and Sunday’s slightly worse-for-wear pool party soon!

Jenna & James 🤍

One of the reasons I love this job is finding ways to use the surroundings to create little storytelling moments with my couples.

You’ve just booked your dream Scottish fairytale wedding venue. Somewhere beautiful, somewhere steeped in history, and somewhere where countless couples have celebrated before you.

Combine this with Jenna being a literary scholar, I’m thinking, how are we going to make the most of it?

Take Carberry Tower, for example. A place with centuries of history, famously associated with Mary, Queen of Scots and the dramatic events that unfolded here in 1567.

For couples getting married somewhere like this, I’m always thinking about how we can use both the interiors and the grounds to create something that celebrates both you and the history of venue. 

Sometimes that means stepping into the landscape and having a little fun with it. Trying something unexpected in an old library. Playing with a bit of roleplay. Experimenting with the light, the surroundings and the time we have together. 

Because wedding photography is a balance.

It’s about making sure you get plenty of time with the people you’ve invited to celebrate with you, while also creating space for the two of you to actually be together.

My aim is for your photography to feel fun, collaborative and completely part of the experience of your wedding day.

Not something that takes you away from the day, but something that gives you a chance to pause, have fun, explore, make memories together and create photographs that bring you right back to how it felt.

Jenna & James, you absolutely embraced it.

What happens if it rains on your Scottish elopement day?

If you’re anything like Cierra & Hunter, you embrace it!

These two travelled all the way from 🇺🇸 to get married here in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 , as part of a once-in-a-lifetime trip across the UK and Europe.

And on their wedding day? The rain came along too.

Our weather is unpredictable, and that’s part of the reality of eloping here. But it can also become a source of inspiration if you let it. Cierra & Hunter leaned into it, and we had so much fun making these photographs together.

I had so much fun with this… even in the editing room.

I’ve been trying out some new techniques, giving myself room to experiment and keep things fresh creatively.

I think it’s important that we keep learning and pushing ourselves as photographers. To follow our own curiosity, look beyond what everyone else is doing, and see where it takes us.

Sophia & Daniel / Gordon Castle

I’ve got a lot of weddings to catch up with posting, and this was such a great one.

200+ guests, a marvellous castle in the Scottish Highlands, and just the loveliest couple who were all about their faith.

The whole day felt incredibly personal to them. In the evening, instead of the traditional dancing, they had quizzes, games and speeches, which made for such a fun and completely different atmosphere.

It was also the first completely dry wedding I’ve ever photographed — no alcohol at all — and I loved seeing how they made the evening their own.

Such a unique day with the loveliest couple at Gordon Castle.

Maddie & Mark / The Royal College of Physicians

These two decided to ditch the big do and sneak away for a secret weekend in Edinburgh, saying “I do” in every book lover’s dream wedding venue.

With just the books, two borrowed witnesses and each other, they sealed the deal exactly the way they wanted, intimately and centred around just the two of them.

The Royal College of Physicians couldn’t be more enchanting. Towering shelves, beautiful old books and rooms steeped in history made the perfect setting for their intimate celebration.

Sabine created Maddie’s beautiful flowers and cake topper, while I was there to document it all, bringing plenty of ideas, but ultimately letting the emotion and intimacy of the day lead the way.

In further news, I’ve been working on an updated editing style. What do you think?
