weddings & elopements

For couples who want relaxed, effortless, aesthetic and emotive images. Colourful, joyful, candid wedding photography.

I’ve been recording weddings and elopements for over a decade, all over Scotland and beyond. You’ll find me in the bushes, with a bag full of film and digital cameras, chasing a pocket of light and hunting out all the shared little moments you are too buzzed to even notice.

Every wedding goes by in a flash (‘scuse the pun) and it often feels surreal for my couples so I aim to slow things down and find moments to help you to ground yourself and be present in the joy of it all.

I won’t steal you away from guests for hours, it’s not my special day. But I will grab lots of shots of your guests to cherish as much as the ceremony and portraits.

Your wedding should be a fun celebration so ditch all the bits that don’t represent you and lean into the cringe of being centre of attention. It’s a wonderful feeling to witness how much love for couples can be felt in the room.

And we just shoot what happens to delete that weather app off yer phone, it’s Scotland, anything could happen.

“Solen was recommended by a photographer friend for our wedding and we are so pleased we chose her!

Our photos turned out beautifully, she was such a calming and fun presence on the day, and her pre-wedding shoot was a huge help for my camera shy husband.

Great value for a huge talent, thank you so much Solen!”
