Not a cloud in the sky. Just the sun, a beautiful spot, and a chance to get out and create.
Days like this are why I do what I do. I headed down to the gorgeous Brig o' Doon — one of those places that does half the work for you, it's that lovely — then on to the beach to make the most of the light. No big setup, no fuss. Just me, the sun, and a brilliant model to work with.
This is how I keep sharpening the craft between weddings: shooting for the love of it, trying things, reading the light as it changes. Some of my favourite frames come from days exactly like this one.
A big thank you to Brigadoon for having us — what a setting.

Back to a chilly November day at The Marine Troon — one of those weddings that's stayed with me.
What I remember most is how at ease this pair were all day. No fuss, no nerves. Just two people enjoying their wedding and trusting me to do my thing.
And then there was the part they'd really been waiting for — bringing their dog down to join them. You could see how much it meant to them, all three together on Troon beach with that moody winter light coming off the water. Some of my favourite frames of the whole day came right there on the sand.
A long day, made easy. That's always the goal.

I'm back. 🤍

A while ago I was behind the lens photographing my mum's wedding. Then grief hit, and everything stopped.

I took the time I needed — because grief hits differently for everyone.

But photography is what brought me back. Because I know better than most what it means to look at a photo and feel a moment all over again.

That's what I'll bring to your wedding day.

Currently booking — visit my website or drop me a message. I'd love to hear about your day. ✨
