What Makes Your Wedding Day So Special to Me
What Makes Your Wedding Day So Special to Me
As predominantly an Edinburgh wedding photographer, in amongst all the creative work I make, I often get asked why I love what I do. The answer is simple - your wedding day means the world to me, not just as a job, but as an opportunity to witness something truly beautiful. It’s a privilege to create from a day full of memories, emotions, and moments that will stay with couples and their loved ones forever.
But it’s more than just clicking a shutter and capturing a moment. It's about capturing the essence of your connection, your story, and the beautiful energy between you two. You’ve spent years building this love story, and I get to be there to preserve it in a way that feels natural, artistic, and joyful. That is a huge honour.
I’m not the traditional wedding photographer. I’m not into stiff poses, no forced smiles, no awkward moments. I’m here to capture the real moments, the candid laughter, the subtle glances, the big belly laughs, and all the little things that make your love unique. And let’s face it, sometimes there are moments that feel a bit awkward, but that’s when we lean into it, have a laugh, and create something even more authentic.
What really gets me excited about working with laid-back, creative couples (like you) is how you’re embracing your own version of the day. Whether it’s planning a relaxed Edinburgh elopement, choosing quirky venues, or finding ways to add your own personal touches, it’s all about making your celebration a reflection of who you are. And that’s exactly what I love to capture—those moments that are uniquely you.
Every time I look through the lens and see you sharing your vows, exchanging a quiet moment of connection, or dancing with your friends and family, I’m reminded why I do this work. It’s not just about photography, it’s about storytelling—your story.
And here's the thing: you don’t have to be a model to have beautiful photos. I work with camera-shy couples all the time, and together, we make it easy and fun. Lean into the cringe and the surreal sometimes overwhelming, always emotional and joyful feelings. After all, this day is about celebrating your love, not about posing. My job is to make sure you’re at ease, enjoying every moment, and just having fun with your loved ones.
Being part of your wedding day is a privilege I never take for granted. I get to witness the start of a new chapter in your life, and that’s something incredibly special. Whether it’s an intimate city elopement in Edinburgh’s Old Town or a fun, alternative wedding that breaks all the rules, I’m always honoured to be the one behind the lens, capturing those moments in an artistic, relaxed, and authentic way.
So, if you're looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend you’ve known for years, someone who wants to make your day relaxed, fun, and full of joy, then we’re going to get along just great. Let’s make your wedding day an unforgettable celebration of who you are as a couple, and I’ll be there to capture it all.
