What is your most memorable wedding?
My favourite weddings are where the couples add their own personal touches to the day, showing their heritage or creativity. I love it when unique and non-traditional aspects are added, such as handmade items, home baked cakes or pets attending as guests.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Natural, chilled, genuine, candid, gentle fun.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't stress the little things, everything will run smoothly on the day, and if it doesn't, who cares! Roll with it and have fun.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
My favourite personal touches have been when couples make their own bouquets out of flowers from their garden,or centre pieces out of foliage and other things found in nature, there was even one couple who spent days folding different coloured origami cranes for good luck. Anything that is handmade makes my heart all warm!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
After finding out your date is available I will send over a wedding welcome guide which has more information. We can then arrange a chat either on Zoom or face-to-face in Glasgow City Centre. If you're happy to go ahead, I'll send over some short forms and get your date in the diary.
If you've booked an engagement session we will do that about a month or two before your wedding. This is a great way to get used to the having your photo taken and also to get to know each other a bit better. If you wanted you could also use these photos as a guestbook for your wedding.
Then about a week before the wedding day, we will have one more final chat to go over any details which may have changed and just have a catch up
On your wedding day I will arrive early to get set up, then the day just unfolds itself, where I will capture it as it is.
After I'm finished for the day, I'll say my goodbyes then head home to back up all your photos.
It takes roughly 6 weeks to edit and upload your images to your personal online gallery. Where you will be able to share with friends and family and order any products you like.

Sunset shots in the evening can look beautiful, depending on the time of year, this can be done after dinner if you would like to pop back out for 10 minutes.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I don't usually get requests from couples as everyone is so chilled out and are just looking for their day to be covered authentically

Wellies, boots and umbrellas! Embrace the Scottish weather and don't worry about getting your dress or hair wet, these photos can look epic!
