Storytelling Wedding Photography : What It Is & How I Work

Let me start with a picture. You know what’s going on, right? Well, strange though this may seem but about five or six years ago, I wouldn’t have taken this shot! Why? Well, because I would have been so focused on the bride & her father walking down the aisle that I wouldn’t have even been looking at anything else. Experience though has taught me to look at the bigger picture…the guys leaning out into the aisle tell you all you need to know in a more interesting way…oh, and I still got the bride & father shots too LOL.

    “Ghillie Dhu” Wedding : Lynsey & Matthew

    Back with a bang on the blog today and, this time around, I’ve got a cracker for you guys from back in March when, for part two of my wedding “double header” weekend, I ventured into Edinburgh to shoot Lynsey & Matthew’s big day at the fabulous Ghille Dhu.

      “Boclair House” Wedding : Amy & Andrew

      One of the benefits of early wedding season is that I get to blog weddings only a few weeks after the actual event – roll forward to the summer and that’s not usually the case! So, here we are then, just over a month on from the day itself, I’m delighted to be sharing the fabulous day that was Amy & Andrew’s wedding at the ever brilliant Boclair House :-).

        “Bowfield Hotel” Wedding : Carolann & Mark

        often the way at the start of the year, with January & February traditionally being the quietest months of the year wedding wise but, get to March and that all changes in a big way! Yes folks, wedding season is definitely off and running … with three weddings in the space of seven days no less!

          “Inglewood House” Wedding (+ Showreel) : Gaynor & George

          Well here we are then guys, my first wedding of 2024 and what a big surprise it was too!!! Not to me – it’s not as though I was dragged from the house to shoot a wedding I knew nothing about, or anything like that. No, a big surprise to all the guests (or the majority at least), who thought they’d been invited to a pre-wedding party but instead found they were attending Gaynor & George’s actual wedding instead!
