Wedding photographer Threave Gardens, Castle Douglas wedding.

I was thrilled when Kate and Rob contacted me to photograph their wedding in Threave Gardens.  My first wedding at Threave had been a magical day and I'd been looking forward to returning ever since.  

Orroland Lodge wedding photographer Solway coast, Dumfries and Galloway.

Spring and Summer - rolled into one for an amazing day of Solway Coast wedding photography, for Jacqui and Duncan.  The weather gave a spectacular flourish of sun - with it all the freshness of Spring bluebells, punctuated by rosettes of wild garlic and the warm romantic light of a Summer's day.

Lake District Wedding Photographer, Inn on the Lake, Ullswater

Preparation before a wedding - is crucial.   And I always like to be ready for any eventuality - particularly the weather.  For a Lake District wedding in Spring - the weather can do anything, and sometimes, everything…  That's what I reminded myself before heading to Ullswater for Emma & Chris' wedding at the Inn on the Lake, Glenridding.  I was prepared for all weather conditions… and that was pretty much what we got…sun, wind, rain, more sun (with an amazing rainbow), then rain, hail, and even a dusting of snow on the hills, ending thankfully with another glorious burst of sun!

This was a wonderful wedding - with so much to photograph, the drama of the weather plus the setting at the Inn on the Lake, Glenridding and such a lovely couple… I hope I did the day justice.

Congratulations Emma and Chris - here are my selected highlights from your day.

Springkell Wedding Photographer, Springkell Wedding Dumfries and Galloway.

'Little looks' are one thing I'm always hoping for during the wedding day.  Little looks? …those fleeting moments when someone forgets everything else and is completely spellbound by the moment - in their face you see exactly what they're feeling - unguarded, captivating and very special.

These little looks are fleeting - but they sum up the sentiment of the wedding day and when I look back through Claire and Michael's Springkell Wedding Photographs these little looks are everywhere.  From the excited expressions of Claire's bridesmaids, watching as the morning's preparations come together, to the joyful smiles of Claire's Mum and Dad - seeing her in her wedding dress.  Claire's anticipation of seeing Michael for the first time, and the pride of Claire's Dad walking her down the aisle, followed by the most fleeting of looks between them just before the wedding ceremony at Springkell.  And they continued all day - I love those little looks...

I also have a soft spot for confetti!  Many congratulations to you both, Claire & Michael.

Pitlochry Wedding Photographer, loch-side at Loch Dunmore

Location, location, location… that's what they say about property - and clearly, it's pretty important for weddings too.  So when Sarah's enquiry arrived for me to photograph her wedding at the spectacular loch-side setting of Loch Dunmore near Pitlochry I jumped at the chance!

I love Spring weddings and as a wedding photographer Scotland always has the potential to amaze and inspire at this time of year - with Sarah's creativity and the unique location, I was in my  element!

An amazing backdrop, beautiful details, and some lovely traditional touches made Sarah and Chris' wedding in Pitlochry visually captivating and very moving.  The weather held, and Sarah and Chris braved the cold and I'm delighted with the images we managed to capture.

Congratulations guys and my very best wishes for your future together!

Lake District Wedding Photographer - Waterhead Hotel Wedding Photography.










A Lake District Wedding - with a lovely Bride & Groom, crisp Spring light, views across snow topped hills, a wedding boat trip across Lake Windermere… sounds awesome!

I've been looking forward to Dawn and Robert's wedding at Springkell ever since my first meeting with them at the venue.

Anna & Paul's beautiful March wedding... in Dumfries... in the snow!

For March - snow was ... kind of unexpected, but Anna looked amazing and the wedding day was wonderful.  For a Dumfries wedding photographer, it was gusty, slippery, and the drifts over the A75 to Hetland Hall were ... ominous.  But Dumfriesshire looked beautiful in the unexpected whiteout; Anna didn't let the snow phase her at all - there was no shortage of warmth and love all around.  And the roaring fire meeting everyone at Hetland Hall was a welcome sight.

Georgina and Stephen's wedding took me to the spectacular Broadoaks Country House Hotel to try my hand as a Lake District wedding photographer - the second time I've photographed by Lake Windermere this year.  I also got to hone my wet weather wedding photography skills.  The elements swept wind and rain across the Lake District - so naturally I headed off with George and Steve, into a field - to see how we could turn the weather in our favour... Fortunately I knew, with a little care the sky would give us the drama to really make the photographs really special!
