Hi, I'm James.

I'm a Scottish wedding photographer based in Edinburgh with a passion for capturing genuine moments exactly as they happen. My style is relaxed, timeless and editorial, allowing you to enjoy every second of your wedding day while I quietly document the memories you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Photography has been a huge part of my life for years. After photographing more than 60 weddings earlier in my career, I took a break to follow studio work before returning with a renewed passion and a fresh approach. That experience has taught me that the best photographs aren't forced poses—they're the laughs with your friends, the tears during the speeches, the squeeze of a hand, and the moments you never even realised were happening.

My goal is simple: to tell the complete story of your wedding day in an honest, elegant and natural way.

I believe every couple deserves photographs that feel authentic. I'll give gentle guidance when it's needed, but for most of the day you'll barely notice I'm there. This allows you to relax, be yourselves and spend time with the people who matter most.

Based in Scotland, I'm available to photograph weddings throughout the country and beyond. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement in Glencoe, a luxury venue in Edinburgh or Glasgow. Even  a countryside celebration in the Highlands, I'd love to be part of your story.

If you're looking for a photographer who values genuine connection, timeless imagery and a relaxed experience from start to finish, I'd be honoured to capture your day.
