The composition is expansive and epic, capturing the rugged natural beauty of the Scottish landscape combined with the urban silhouette of the historic city.

Local Knowledge

Archiving love in the heart of Scotland

Edinburgh rewards photographers who know her moods: the haar rolling off the Forth, the amber street lamps of the Old Town, the precise minute the Castle esplanade empties.

I've photographed more than sixty weddings across the city, and I still find new light every time.

An intimate vertical portrait of a couple sharing a quiet moment in a sun-drenched library of a historic Edinburgh manor house. The warm light catches the dust motes in the air, creating a nostalgic and romantic atmosphere. The composition is asymmetrical, focusing on the couple's intertwined hands and the fine details of their wedding attire, set against a backdrop of antique leather-bound books and dark mahogany wood.
A close-up, minimalist detail shot of a bespoke wedding invitation suite featuring elegant calligraphy and a wax seal, resting on a piece of vintage textured paper. The color palette consists of cream, charcoal, and soft champagne tones, reflecting an editorial luxury aesthetic. The lighting is soft and directional, casting subtle shadows that highlight the paper's texture.
