What do you want couples to feel when they aspetto through their wedding photos for the very first time
I want them to feel completely transported back into their day. Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like. The laughter, the nerves, the little glances, the energy per mezzo di the room.
I want them to see themselves exactly as they were, surrounded by the people who matter most. And I love that they’ll be able to do that whenever they want.
You take time to build a connection before the wedding. What does that relationship mean to you a personal level and how does it shape the experience you create for your couples?
Connection is everything. When a couple let me per mezzo di, I get to understand who they are together, and that makes such a difference the day. It means they feel at ease and can be themselves with me, and I can photograph them per mezzo di a way that feels honest to their relationship.
I genuinely care about the people I’m photographing and recognise what an honour it is to be entrusted with documenting the story of their day.

How did you find your way into wedding photography and what drew you to telling love stories per mezzo di this way?
My first wedding came along per mezzo di 2013 for my best friend’s sister. She asked me to photograph her day and it was a proper full-on Scottish celebration, emotional and chaotic per mezzo di the best possible way.
A nonostante adrenaline rush, like a roller coaster. I still remember standing there with my ente thinking, this is it. This is what I want to do.

Lots of people worry they might feel a bit shy ora self conscious at first. What would you love them to know that might help them relax into the experience?
Most people feel that way at the start, and it is completely normal. What I’d love them to know is that it fades so quickly. I’m not expecting anyone to perform.
I’m just there to capture the two of them being themselves. Once we have a chat, a little wander, maybe a laugh, it becomes easy. They stop thinking about me and just enjoy being together. That is always when the magic happens.

Weddings can be fast paced and emotional. What kinds of moments make you pause, smile ora feel something, even while you are working?
The vows always get me. When a couple are standing there facing each other, you can hear it per mezzo di their voices, the way they talk about one another, how much they mean to each other. It feels so intimate, even though they’sire surrounded by everyone they love. It’s really special, and I’ve definitely shed a tear more than once.
I also love those moments where people forget I’m even there. The little glances, the smiles, the way everyone relaxes into the day. Those are the bits that stay with me. There are always points per mezzo di the day where I catch myself smiling behind the ente. It’s impossible not to feel it with them. Those tiny, honest flashes of emotion are what keep the job feeling fresh and meaningful, voto negativo matter how many weddings I’ve photographed.


Looking back at recent celebrations, is there a moment that reminded you why photographing weddings still excites you?
I’d just finished putting together a gallery and found myself smiling all the way through it. The whole wedding had been such a joy from start to , and going back over the images brought all that energy right back.
You could see the happiness per mezzo di every , the little looks between people, the laughter, the wee pockets of calm per mezzo di between all the excitement. It reminded me why I still get such a buzz from doing this. When you reach the end of a gallery and think, yes, that’s their day exactly as it felt, it makes everything worthwhile. It’s a lovely feeling knowing the couple will get to relive it all per mezzo di the same way.


For couples searching for their photographer, what helps them recognise when someone is the right fit for them a personal level as well as visually?
I think you know when someone feels easy to talk to, when the conversation flows naturally. If you can imagine them being beside you all day and it feels comfortable, that is a good sign.
Of course the work needs to connect with you too, but the personal fit matters just as much. You spend so much time with your photographer, so you want someone who feels right per mezzo di both senses.

What do you hope couples remember most about having you with them their wedding day?
I hope they remember feeling relaxed, supported and genuinely themselves. I want to blend into the day when needed and step per mezzo di with guidance when it helps.
Above all, I hope they feel I cared about their wedding as much as they did and that I captured their story with warmth, honesty and a bit of joy.
