Emily + Harry ✨

What a way to end the summer wedding season 🤍✨

On Saturday, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Emily & Harry’s beautiful wedding Rossie on the Earn and what a day it was!

Such a fun and joyous day from start to finish, followed by one epic golden hour that was the perfect way to round off the day. A pretty special way to bring an incredible summer of weddings to a close ✨

Congratulations again to The Mellors 🥂🤍 Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Megan & James ✨

A Glasgow kind of love story. Married at the beautiful Glasgow University Memorial Chapel, celebrations at Òran Mór, with a hop, skip and a jump over to the Botanic Gardens for portraits in between.

Relaxed, joy-filled and effortlessly fun from beginning to end. The very best kind of Saturday ✨

And a huge thank you to Megan & James, their wonderful families, friends and bridal party for being so incredibly warm and welcoming 🤍

Rachel & Josh at Òran Mór ✨

Some weddings just radiate joy, and Rachel & Josh’s day at Òran Mór was exactly that.

A celebration bursting with colour, endless laughter, and the kind of energy that keeps everyone smiling from start to finish. Every moment felt vibrant, heartfelt, and completely true to them.

What a privilege it was to capture a day so full of love, personality, and unforgettable memories❤️

TESS & DEVIN 🤍✨

From North Carolina to the Scottish Highlands, Tess & Devin’s destination wedding at Achnagairn Castle was everything you could hope for—emotional, joy-filled, effortlessly stylish, and a celebration that felt uniquely, unapologetically them.

Surrounded by their favourite people, they embraced every moment of their Scottish wedding with so much love, laughter and intention. It was an absolute privilege to document such an incredible celebration in one of Scotland’s most beautiful castle wedding venues.

A huge thank you to Mikey & Tom for being such a pleasure to work alongside throughout the day. Always grateful to create with talented people who make the day feel so seamless.
A day I’ll be thinking about for a long time. 🤍
