Kaye & Robbie's Applegarth Church and Lockerbie Town Hall Wedding Photography
Scotland Wedding Photographer | Applegarth Church Wedding Photography | Lockerbie Town Hall Wedding Photography
When I photograph a wedding - it's such a wonderful feeling to be a small part of such an important day. Often though - as with Kaye and Robbie's wedding I'm welcomed in so warmly that I feel more like a wedding guest than a photographer. I'm always awed by couples that have the thoughtfulness...

Melanie & Lewis' Auchen Castle Wedding Photography
Auchen Castle Wedding
I frequently see a wedding day bring out the very best in people. Their character and generosity of spirit shines through. But from time to time I'm especially moved...
So when, in the middle of the day (their day) Melanie and Lewis stepped out of being centre of attention to rally their room full of guests to sing Happy Birthday to their wedding photographer... it was a very humbling experience, demonstrating...
Bryony & Rory's Caerlaverock Castle Wedding
Caerlaverock Castle Wedding Photographer | Dumfries and Galloway
Scottish Castle Wedding Photography is always exciting - and Caerlaverock brings a rugged mix of turrets, moats and cannon, softened by the swallows sweeping overhead, lush meadow surroundings and the backing soundscape of the Solway Coast.
But the special meaning of the day wasn't in the background - it was found in the details... Bryony's veil, passed down from...

Faye & Alan's Lodore Lake District Wedding
Lake District Wedding Photographer | Lodore Falls Hotel Wedding
Many aspects of a wedding day defy imagination, until you're there to experience them.
I often wonder at the old expression 'giving away your daughter', it's impossible to know that heightened mixture of emotions - seldom felt or expressed, until you're there. There, as all eyes fall on the bride, it's just possible for the onlookers not...
Duncan Ireland Photography - Fearless and Proud
Fearless Photographers Award - Collection 26
I'm delighted to have just been awarded a Fearless Award for my dancing shadows image from Gail and Scott's wedding, last year at Melville Castle.
I was struck by the shapes of the dancing guests on the ceiling of the wedding marquee.
It took a few attempts to get a clean composition with good separation between each dancer to make a recognisable scene. But...

Outside was wild and windy, but inside the warmth of Joanne and Mack's day shone, with glowing smiles, magical moments and whimsical window light…
So many perfect moments, that were gifts for reportage wedding photography. ...Joanne's Dad's look of excited anticipation during the morning's preparations, the effect of bagpipes on little ears, perfectly soft light on the stairs before...
