Wedding FAQ

Yes. I regularly photograph weddings across Inverness, the Scottish Highlands, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Elgin and Caithness. If you’re planning a wedding elsewhere in Scotland, feel free to ask — I’m happy to travel for the right day.

Not at all. Most couples say that before we start. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, with gentle guidance when it’s helpful and plenty of space for things to unfold naturally. The aim is for you to enjoy the day, not feel like you’re stuck in a photoshoot.

A lot more than just taking photographs. I help keep things calm, guide group photos efficiently, look for the best light, and make couple portraits feel easy rather than awkward. Good wedding photography should support the flow of the day, not interrupt it.

Yes. I can shoot analogue film alongside digital coverage for couples who love a softer, more textured and timeless look. It adds a different character to part of the gallery while still keeping the flexibility and consistency of digital photography throughout the day.

As soon as you have your venue and date confirmed. Popular weekends, especially across Inverness, Aberdeen and the Highlands, tend to go first, so it’s always worth asking early if you’re considering working together.

When choosing a wedding photographer, look for someone with experience shooting weddings, a portfolio that aligns with your style and preferences, positive reviews from previous clients, and clear communication and organisation skills.

The main areas I cover are Caithness in the Highlands, Inverness, Aberdeen/shire and anywhere in between, but anywhere I can fit my gear in the car and get to most places. Although further afield may incur travel/accommodation.

It's best to book your wedding photographer as soon as possible, ideally 12-18 months in advance, especially if you're getting married during peak wedding season or on a popular date, as the top photographers will be in demand.

A wedding photography package typically includes a certain number of hours of coverage, a specific number of edited images, and the rights to those images. Other possible inclusions are an engagement session, a second photographer, and a wedding album.

The number of photos you receive from your wedding photographer depends on several factors, including how many hours of coverage you book, how many guests you have, and how many memorable moments and details you want to capture. You can expect to receive anywhere from 300-800 edited photos.

The photographer's turnaround time for wedding photos varies. However, depending on the photographer's workload, you should receive your edited images within 6-10 weeks after your wedding.

Professional wedding photographers usually have a backup plan in emergencies, such as having a network of fellow photographers who can step in. Please discuss this with your photographer before booking.

While providing your photographer with a shot list is unnecessary, giving them an idea of the must-have shots you want, such as family group portraits or a specific location where you wish to take your couple portraits. Having the family group list will speed up your photographer and avoid having impatient guests waiting around.

An engagement session with your wedding photographer can be a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and know your photographer's style and personality. Getting casual and intimate photos with your partner is also a good opportunity.

Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident and coordinates with your partner's outfit. Solid colours and simple patterns usually photograph well, and avoid clothes with large logos or text. Your photographer can also give you more specific advice based on the location and style of your shoot.

Wedding photography prices vary greatly depending on the photographer's experience and location, coverage length, and any additional services you want. On average, couples in the UK spend around £1,200-£3,000+ on wedding photography for a full day, but prices can range from £600 to £4,000 or more. But remember, you do pay for what you get, as the lower end tends to be inexperienced photographers.
