With a decade of experience photographing Weddings, Giles Atkinson has gained a solid reputation as one of the leading Wedding photographers in Dumfries & Galloway, SW Scotland. Giles specialises in a documentary style of photography, with a passion for capturing real-life moments as they happen throughout the day.

His approach is one of storytelling, following the day through from bridal preparation to the first dance, not only capturing the emotional moments but always searching for moments which are funny and un-expected.Giles is always searching for connections between people, whether this be between guests deep in conversation or the newly weds during their portrait shoot.

His relaxed and discreet approach allows these moments to unfold. Giles travels across Scotland to photograph weddings, and will consider anything further afield upon request.

Giles Atkinson started taking photos at the age of 12, when he saved up and bought his first camera.
Life eventually took Giles down a different career path, , spending years working in the IT sector within the music industry, but throughout this period his camera was never far away, and he even managed to get his first paid job photographing PR shots for a hip hop act.
Fast forward to 2008, Giles made the decision to set up Giles Atkinson Photography, to realise his dream of pursuing a passion and turn it into his career.
We have a range of wedding packages to suit most couples needs, however, if you do have specific requirements, we are more than happy to tailor a package for you.
Our half day package includes a pre-wedding consultation, 6 hours coverage of your wedding ceremony in a photojournalistic style as well as a Bride and Groom portrait and some formal group shots.
The final finished proofs are presented in the 'client area' of the website in a private gallery where you can select 70 images and some additional 'filler' images for your 20 spread/40 page Rhapsody A4 Album.
It is very important to me that I get your photos to you as soon as I possibly can, following your big day.
However, it is also important that I deliver you a selection of proofs which are finished to the highest standard.
I am solely responsible for seeing the creative process through from beginning to end, rather than passing it onto somebody else who may not have the same vision of an image should look like, so this does mean that the process takes a bit longer.
I have to go through each image and pick out the winning selection, then I spend some time on the post production of each image.
It was great meeting Natalie & Rob for their pre-wedding 'Getting To Know You' photo-shoot a couple of weeks ago.
Although they aren't getting married at Caerlaverock Castle, it has lots of meaning to them so they chose it as their venue for the day, particularly as Rob's grandfather has a bench in his memory within the grounds.
I'm really looking forward to photographing their wedding this summer.
Giles is a well established photographer in Dumfries and Galloway.
He prefers a relaxed, reportage style when shooting weddings, choosing to document the day by capturing moments as they happen.
Jackie & Paul got married on a rather windy and cold Sunday afternoon in May.
The location for this shoot was, however, one of the nicest I've visited in some time.
From a photographers point of view, it had so many things going for it, from the contemporary architectural lines of the building and the glass terrace, to the views of unspoilt countryside as far as the eye could see.
Although it was unfortunate that it was just too cold to get the groups outside for their photos, I did manage to get the couple to brave the elements for a quick portrait on the terrace.
