About
Ten years of other people’s wedding days
I photographed my first wedding in 2015 because a friend could not afford anyone else. It was in a village hall in Fife with a broken radiator and a ceilidh band, and I have been chasing that kind of day ever since: unglamorous, loud, and completely honest.
I work alone. That means I am in the room while you are getting dressed, at the back of the ceremony, and near the bar at midnight, so nobody has to perform for me. Long lenses, available light, and a roll of film at some point in the afternoon when the light is right.
Most of my year is edinburgh, fife, the borders and the scottish east coast. I know which churches have good light at four, which farms have a barn worth dancing in, and where the rain usually arrives from.
What I bring
- Two bodies, four prime lenses, no flash unless it is dark
- A spare 35mm camera and film for the afternoon
- Waxed jacket, boots and a flask, every time
What I ask of you
- Half an hour alone together after the ceremony
- A list of the family groups you actually want
- Tell someone to feed me at the meal

Working with me
A quiet photographer for a day that is not quiet
I answer enquiries myself, usually within two days, and I do not use a second shooter unless you ask for one. If your date is free I will hold it for a week while you decide, and I will tell you honestly if I think another photographer suits your wedding better.
