The anticipation before the ceremony. The people cheering you on. The laughter during the speeches and those few quiet minutes together.
I’m Mags, a wedding photographer based in Melrose. I capture natural moments and gently guided portraits, so you can enjoy your celebration while I photograph the story of your day.
Available across the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh, Northumberland and beyond.
Your gallery should bring back more than how everything looked.
I look for the embraces, reactions and little connections that make your wedding yours, alongside the family photographs and couple portraits you’ll want to keep.
I’ve been photographing weddings since 2017, and I know that feeling comfortable with your photographer matters.
Before your wedding, we’ll talk about your plans, the people who matter most and any photographs you particularly want.
On the day, I’ll capture moments as they happen and offer simple guidance for portraits and group photographs. You don’t need experience in front of a camera.
From your first enquiry to your finished gallery, you’ll deal directly with me.
A few favourite portraits are a lovely introduction. A fuller wedding gallery shows how I photograph the ceremony, guests, details and celebrations too.
Explore the featured weddings to get a feel for my approach.

Unsure which collection fits? Send me your date, venue and planned timings. I’ll help you choose.
I’ll check availability and answer your questions. You don’t need your entire timeline organised before enquiring.
We can discuss your plans by email, phone or video call—whichever suits you.
I’ll send your contract and booking-payment details. The Classic, Signature and Luxury Collections require a £150 booking payment to secure your date.
Before the wedding, we’ll confirm timings, important people and any particular photographs you’d like.
Enjoy the day with your guests while I capture it.

Of course. You’re welcome to ask questions by email or arrange a phone or video call.
You don’t need to know what to do in front of the camera. Most of my couples aren’t models — and they don’t need to be. I’ll give you gentle direction when it’s helpful and let you be yourselves the rest of the time.
Send your date, venue and a little about your plans. I’ll let you know whether I’m available and help you with the next step.
