Questions
What photography styles do you specialise in?
I combine reportage-style candid photography with classic composition techniques, using both digital and film equipment to capture spontaneous moments and structured portraits.
Do you cover locations outside Edinburgh?
Yes, I regularly photograph events across Lothians, Fife, and Glasgow, with travel arrangements possible for other Scottish locations and special circumstances.
How long does a typical wedding coverage last?
Standard packages cover 8-10 hours, including pre-ceremony preparations through to reception events, with optional extended coverage available.
What's included in your portrait sessions?
Sessions include location scouting, styling advice, 1-2 hour photography appointment, and post-processing of 40-50 selected images delivered digitally and in print options.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend weddings, I recommend booking 12-18 months ahead. Portrait and weekday event bookings can be arranged with shorter notice where availability permits.
