I am a full-time photographer. It’s all I’ve done and it’s all I’ll ever do because to be honest, there’s nothing else I’d rather do. I live near Loch Lomond, and as well as covering Argyll and Glasgow, I also cover central Scotland, photographing elopement, intimate and small weddings.

My BLOG contains lots of weddings. I dont show each and every wedding as my website would be huge, so I just show a selection of weddings. I love colour and I love simplicity, and if you look at my pictures then you’ll see just what I do. As for how I do it, well that’s just wedding photography.

Some Wedding Facts

There were 23.4 thousand mariages in Scotland in 2021, and that when records started in 1855, there were 19.6 thousdand marriages.
