Today I did a portrait session with the lovely Annika and her parents. It’s over a year since I last photographed them and it’s lovely to see the little ones growing up into little people with their character coming through. I’d forgotten about the big dog and how friendly he is with little Annika. We [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I was heading into Edinburgh when, around the corner, I ran into this bevvy of beauties. They asked me to photograph them by the Street Name, and laughed when I told them I was a photographer. They were on what we call a “hen night” – but were considerably more dignified than what we’re used [...]

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. Providing your wedding ceremony and reception venue are indoors the weather shouldn’t provide that many problems – but indoor wedding photography can be restrictive and not representative of the day.

This is an article reproduced from my main site. I wrote this in response to a question I was asked at a Wedding Fair. At wedding fairs I’m often asked how a couple should go about choosing their photographer; often there are many photographers present, their work looks good so how do you differentiate between [...]
In December last year I was delighted to be photographing the wedding of Anna and Fraser in a very cold and snowy Edinburgh. The reception was held in The Signet Library. I have to say that the Signet Library is a pretty stunning venue; breathtaking in fact – surely one of Scotland’s hidden gems. I [...]
