Wedding Photographer - Scottish Borders

Weddings are full of quiet moments, emotion and connection — often in between the things you plan.


My approach to wedding photography is calm, natural and unobtrusive, focusing on how your day felt, rather than how it was staged.

A relaxed, unobtrusive approach

Not everyone feels comfortable in front of a camera, and that’s completely okay.


I work quietly in the background for most of the day, allowing moments to unfold naturally while gently guiding you only when needed.


There’s no pressure for constant posing or interruption — the focus is on being present, enjoying your day, and letting it happen as it should.

    Natural, story-led images

    My wedding photography is about real moments — the nerves, the laughter, the connections between people.


    Rather than directing every part of the day, I observe and document what’s already there, creating images that feel honest and timeless when you look back.

    A limited number of weddings each year

    I photograph a small number of weddings each year alongside my family and newborn work.


    This allows me to give each couple my full attention and maintain the calm, thoughtful approach that runs through all of my photography.


    If you’re looking for relaxed, natural images and a photographer who blends in rather than takes over, we’re likely a good fit.

    Wedding Photography That Feels Timeless

    Rather than following short-lived trends, I focus on creating wedding photographs that feel timeless — images you’ll still love years from now.


    Your gallery will reflect the real emotion of the day, the meaningful details you’ve chosen, and the story as it naturally unfolds from start to finish.


    The aim is to create photographs that bring you back to how it felt, not just how it looked.

    Why Choose Me for Your Wedding?

    Choosing a wedding photographer is about trust — feeling comfortable, understood and confident that your day will be handled with care.
    My approach is calm and unobtrusive, allowing your wedding to unfold naturally while I quietly document the moments that matter.
    I photograph weddings of all sizes with the same attention and intention, focusing on genuine connection, natural storytelling and real emotion.
    From our first conversation to the final images, I aim to be a steady, reassuring presence — someone you can rely on without needing to think about the camera.
    Every wedding is different, and I photograph each one with care, attention and respect for what makes it yours.

    💫 Engagement Sessions

    Many couples choose to include an engagement shoot before their wedding, and I absolutely recommend it.  

    It’s a wonderful way to celebrate your love story, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create beautiful, relaxed images to use for save-the-dates or wedding decor.
