West Brewery Wedding

A ridiculously big massive congratulations to Jenny and Euan who got married at West on the Green in Glasgow.

What an epic day! Such a happy, lovely and amazing couple. It was an absolute privilege to be part of their wedding and spend the day with them and all of their awesome guests.

Everyone’s energy throughout the day was incredible, so it was so much fun to capture everything that was going on. My favourite part of the day was when we took a walk to the famous Barrowland Ballroom to take some pictures in front of that iconic sign. So much fun!

Awesome Jewish Wedding at Mar Hall, Scotland

A beautiful Jewish wedding at Mar Hall, Scotland. I really love shooting Jewish weddings. I’ve been fortunate enough to shoot several over the years and it’s always such a fun and energetic occasions. The mix of traditions always keeps me on my toes and this amazing wedding was no different. Rachel and Andrew were so much fun to be around and it was great to get some alone time amongst all of the chaos for some lovely portraits.

Group pictures don't have to be boring

A collection of family/group portraits from weddings shot in Scotland. Proof that there’s no need for wedding family portraits to be boring, formal and stuffy. It’s all about having fun, engaging with the crowd and capturing personalities. I love nothing more than capturing joy, colour and the wilderness.

Carrick Castle Estate Wedding

An incredible Scottish/Canadian wedding at Carrick Castle Estate, Loch Goil. This wedding features an amazingly adventurous bride and groom who were up for exploring the Scottish hills and lochs in a Land Rover. They were also more than happy to get out in the rain with their bridal party for a smoke bomb shot… with umbrellas. Such a fun group of guests and an awesome amount of energy all day.
