Engagements & Portraits
You deserve photography that captures more than simply how a moment looked. As a cinematic fine-art wedding photographer based in Scotland, I document celebrations across the Highlands, Edinburgh, and throughout Europe with imagery that feels timeless, atmospheric, and deeply personal.
I focus on the quiet exchanges, the movement of light, and the fleeting gestures that give a day its emotional texture. Each photograph is created with the intention of preserving not only the event itself, but the feeling of being there.
Whether it is an intimate elopement in the Highlands or a celebration in the heart of Edinburgh, my work is guided by a love of storytelling and a desire to create images that will feel just as powerful decades from now as they do today.
