I’ve been wanting to blog about this wedding for some time but, for reasons I’ll explain later, I held off until now. This was the wedding of Simona and Marius, a young couple from Lithuania who came over to Edinburgh to get Married. Simona originally contacted me from Lithuania, specifically because of my fashion photography [...]
Today I did a Christmas portrait shoot in Dalkeith park. We had 3 children to photograph to get some suitable images for Christmas presents. It was a gorgeous crisp November afternoon and the sun was bright and low in the sky. The great thing about this time of year is the autumn colour and the [...]
Last Sunday I was visiting South Queensferry on a cold, crisp, foggy morning awash with beautiful light. The sun was low in the sky (it is November!) and the fog was rising from the Firth of Forth. It was one of those days that makes you gasp at the beauty of this little country. If [...]
I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Stephanie and David in July. The guys are an absolute hoot so it was laugh a minute doing the pre wedding shoot and on the day itself, really great fun (and not like working at all!). Now, July in Edinburgh can can only one thing – [...]
The other day I met up with a bunch of extended families and friends who had come from all over the world to meet up. They had commissioned me to take some group and individual portraits while they were together. I met them at the Forth Canal at Harrisson Park and we had a lovely [...]

In March I had the rare opportunity to photograph Mary Kings Close in Edinburgh. If you don’t know it, it’s an Edinburgh Street buried beneath the City Chambers. Now a tourist attraction and popular with all the “ghost hunters” that walk the old town. It’s very atmospheric and quite extraordinary to see such a well [...]
Friday 18th March at Stockbridge Primary School. I did a marathon portrait session for a number of families to raise funds for the playground. The kids were great with only a couple of refusals (probably didn’t like the look of me) and I had a couple of P7 helpers who were super keen assistants (thanks [...]
You can plan most things for a wedding with a good degree of certainty but you can’t know in advance what the weather will do.

My wedding photography services are available to couples traveling to Scotland for their destination wedding. There are rules every couple should follow when looking for a photographer they will not meet either until very shortly before their wedding or on the wedding day itself. Ideally when you and your partner are organising your wedding you [...]
