“Orocco Pier” Wedding / Laura & Connor

For my third wedding of the year, I was back for the first time in quite a few years at the fabulous Orocco Pier, and what an amazing day it was too shooting Laura & Connor’s wedding in front of the iconic Forth bridges in wall to wall sunshine no less … such a nice wee bonus amongst all the rain we’d had around the time!

As you may be aware, over the last 5 or 6 years, I’ve moved further and further away from the tradtional posed style of wedding photography, preferring a more candid, documentary, natural approach, allowing the day to flow more without constant interuption. So, a handful of group shots and one quick couple shoot before dinner aside, I was left to just do my usual thing and simply capture all the goings on in my “ninja” style … and there were certainly plenty of memorable moments to capture that’s for sure!

As usual though, rather than bore you with my waffle, I’ll let the pictures tell the story of the day. Just before that though, here’s some incredibly kind words that I recently received from the guys:

“We haven’t stopped looking at the photos since you sent them – thats how good they are. We are literally obsessed with them. They are perfect. I want to blow them up and plaster my walls in them they’re so good! 😂💖

There isn’t a single bit of our day that you didn’t capture, and the way you do it, so discreetly, is how I think everyone should experience it.

It’s honestly like you read our minds and knew exactly the kind of shots that matter to us, and delivered them in the most amazing quality. The entire day, the venue, the weather, the vibe … your photos capture every single part of it. And considering I wasn’t even aware you were in the room with your camera. I dont know how you got the shots you did!

They mean the world to us. I would hire you 1000 times over and I’ll be sure to recommend you to any future couple. We can’t thank you enough! 

Thanks for making our day so special and giving us vivid memories to last a life time!”

Laura & Connor, it was great to be with you all on your amazing day shooting your wedding photography at Orocco Pier and thank you very much for choosing me! Here’s a few of my own favourite shots which I hope you all like.

Looking for Orocco Pier Wedding Photography … or anywhere for that matter?

If you’re getting married (or know someone who is), then you may just like my “ninja style” low key approach to the day! Most couples tell me they didn’t even notice me for the majority of the day and that suits me … it is your wedding day after all, not a photo-shoot!

My style is very unposed, unfussy and focuses more on documenting your day rather than directing it. Minimal group shots (or even none at all if you prefer) and short couple shoots allow you spend more of the day with the people that matter and have a total blast!

World Top 10 Photographer

For the past four years, I’ve been recognised by the WPJA as Scotland’s top ranked wedding photojournalist, so you know you’re in safe hands. And, in 2024, I was very honoured to be ranked as one of the Top 10 Photographers in the World in their Artistic Guild category … thank you guys!

I’m now taking bookings for 2027 & 2028 but, these days, I do only shoot around 20 weddings per year so dates can be very limited especially during the summer months. So do get in touch asap guys to check my availability.
