Hi, I'm Keir 👋

"Thank you SO much for the brilliant photos! They are just fantastic & have brought back lots of lovely memories We had a dream of a day & cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us." - M+I
My passion for photography & people naturally led me to weddings. My style focuses on documenting the story of the events taking place, immortalising every joy-filled, teary-eyed, and marvellous moment occurring as your day unfolds. In doing this, we avoid any forced smiles & stiff bodies, because let’s be honest nobody wants those. My aim is to provide you with observational and unobtrusive shots, ensuring everyone is at ease & being themselves.

Keir Mathieson Photography Full Description
Hello!
I’m an Edinburgh based wedding photographer working throughout Scotland and the UK.
I hope you enjoyed flicking through some of my favourite shots above. The style you see here is called documentary (also known as reportage or photojournalism) and it’s how I shoot weddings.
My style of photography focuses on documenting the story of the events taking place, immortalising every joy-filled, teary-eyed, and marvellous moment that occurs as your day unfolds. In doing this, we avoid any forced smiles and stiff bodies, because let’s be honest nobody wants those.
My aim is to provide you with observational and unobtrusive shots, ensuring everyone is at ease and being themselves. Of course, I’m more than happy to take all formal photos you desire, this is your day after all. If this sounds like what you’re interested in then I can’t wait to hear from you.
My main packages that I offer are a full day or half day (10 or 5 hours) although I do also do custom packages for intimate/shorter weddings as well as other add-ons such as a second photographer.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
What is your most memorable wedding?
My most memorable wedding so far would probably have to be Giulia and Daryl's wedding where after the ceremony instead of just having the usual drinks and chatting they split their guests up into teams and put on a series of games which was very entertaining. All the guests had a great time and it lead to some fantastic photos, including me catching a lot of people cheating in the egg and spoon race!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Candid, Documentary, Relaxed, Unobtrusive,
What about your business are you most proud of?
In my business I'm most proud of the reactions I get from clients and the feedback. It's such an amazing feeling to capture a moment from their day which they will look back on fondly for years or to be able to show them things that perhaps they missed on the day but now get to see.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My number 1 planning tip for couples would be to schedule your day in whichever way works best for you. Don't let other people's opinions or the norms dictate what you do. It's your day and you should do it however you want.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The best personal touch I've seen at a wedding was probably when the groom incorporated peacock feathers into all the men's button holes as it was his wife's maiden name and he wanted to show that she was not only joining his family but he was also joining hers.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
My typical process with a couple is to have an initial meeting where we chat about your wedding plans so far, any photography specific ideas you have and then I talk you through my process. After the initial meeting if you would like to move forward I send through the paperwork and once that is signed and the reservation fee is paid you're fully booked in. After that I am always available to discuss things if you have any questions but you won't hear from me until 4 - 6 weeks before the day when I send out a questionnaire which I use to collect all the details for your day so I can organise everything to get the best out of your day. I'm happy to have a pre-wedding meeting if you'd like and then on the day I'm available for anything you might need photography or otherwise. After the wedding I'll be in touch as soon as possible with your finished gallery.
What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?
I don't think there is a No. 1 photo that every couple should take. Every couple is different and has their own preference and each wedding, although similar, is also different and I wouldn't want to manufacture moments just for the sake of recreating one photo every time. That being said, I do love a just married confetti exit shot.
What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?
I'd have to go with taking couple's portraits in a play park on the swings and roundabout, or the photos of the post-ceremony games I mentioned earlier.
What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?
I recommend getting wet, or planning for the rain and still being able to go outside with umbrellas and shoes you don't mind getting a bit wet and possibly dirty. If it's raining and you don't want to go outside it can limit the photo opportunities. Of course I'm more than happy to get creative inside to get you the best photos possible but depending on the venue being inside can cause very limited light and space. I'm not suggesting we go outside to take photos if it's chucking it down but this is Scotland, a wee bit of drizzle won't hurt.
Describe how you got into photography.
I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember. There's just something about photographing moments and the emotional impact they can have and all the memories they bring back when you look at them that I've always been obsessed with. I'd always have a little Kodak disposable for holidays when I was really young before getting my first digital camera at around 8, then my first DSLR at 16. I became the unofficial staff photographer at my summer job working at a kids camp in the USA, between the ages of 19 - 21, where I really started to develop my documentary style. After graduating university I decided to go full time with photography instead of pursuing a career in engineering and I've never looked back.
