I never set out to win awards — I care far more about real moments and helping couples feel like themselves. But this nomination from the people I do it for? That means something.

A windswept castle, a quiet moment at the farm, and a ceilidh to end the night—Hannah & Jake’s relaxed Rothbury wedding was full of heart, laughter, and the kind of love that speaks softly but stays with you.

I’ll let you in on a secret - I didn’t grow up liking coffee.

At our house, “coffee” meant a spoonful of instant granules and a splash of boiling water—not exactly the stuff of independent cafés. I assumed it wasn’t for me.

When people talk about choosing a wedding photographer, it’s easy to focus on the photos. And don’t get me wrong — you’ll get beautiful, honest images that tell your story. But my job is about more than what happens behind the camera.

AI is a bit of a buzzword in the photography world right now. Some people love it, some are sceptical, and others worry it means photographers are letting a computer do all the work. So, I wanted to share exactly how I use AI in my workflow—not to replace what I do, but to help me focus on what really matters: delivering the best photos to my couples.

If you’ve looked at my work, you’ll know I’m all about natural, candid photography—capturing real moments as they happen, without turning your wedding into a photoshoot. So, you might be wondering, why do I use flash? Isn’t that a bit contradictory to the whole ‘authentic and natural’ thing?

When you imagine your wedding day, you probably picture sunshine, clear skies, and perfect weather for your outdoor ceremony or reception. But what happens if the forecast takes a turn for the worse, and rain starts to fall? We do live in Scotland after all. Many couples fear that rain will ruin their big day, but in reality, it can bring a touch of magic and create memories you’ll cherish forever.

Weddings are filled with breathtaking moments: the bride walking down the aisle, the first kiss, the first dance. But often, it’s the in-between moments—the candid, unscripted interactions—that tell the most meaningful parts of your story. These fleeting moments are full of raw emotion, joy, and authenticity, offering a deeper glimpse into the real essence of your wedding day.

Weddings can be overwhelming. From finalising details to managing family dynamics, it’s easy to get caught up in the stress of everything needing to be “perfect.” But the truth is, your wedding day is your day—a celebration of you and your partner, surrounded by the people you love. The goal should be to relax, be present, and enjoy every moment as it unfolds. So, how can you make sure you actually enjoy the day without feeling stressed?

Wedding photography isn’t just about turning up with a camera—it’s about connection, trust, and capturing the real moments that make your day special. That’s why I’ve made a conscious decision to only take on 20 weddings a year.

Could I book more? Probably. But I choose not to. Because for me, wedding photography isn’t about volume—it’s about experience, quality, and being fully present for every couple I work with.

Here’s why this approach benefits you and ensures you get the best possible experience.

Your wedding day is a whirlwind of emotions, fleeting moments, and joyful chaos. From the excitement of getting ready in the morning to the last dance of the night, the day passes in a blur. Once the honeymoon tan fades and the last of the confetti is swept away, what’s left? The memories, of course—but also your photos.

For many couples, the thought of being photographed all day can feel a little overwhelming. If you’re not someone who enjoys posing for photos or you’re worried about feeling awkward, you’re not alone! The good news? Your wedding photography experience doesn’t have to be stressful or uncomfortable. Here’s how to feel at ease in front of the camera so your photos reflect the real, relaxed, and joyful moments of your day.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with Hannah and Jake for their pre-wedding shoot in Innerleithen, and let me tell you, it was a bit chilly! But despite the cold weather, we had such a great time wandering the trails and capturing some beautiful moments.

Angela and Dave's love story is a testament to the power of connection and timing. Their first date may have been just a few months ago, but from the moment they met, it was clear that their hearts were meant to be together. It was a whirlwind romance, a love that bloomed quickly and deeply, defying all expectations.

I recently had the privilege of photographing a beautiful and intimate wedding at Chatelherault in Hamilton, Scotland. It was just the couple and a small group of their closets family, making it a truly special and personal event.

Weddings are a once-in-a-lifetime event, and capturing every precious moment requires the right gear. Here’s a rundown of the equipment I rely on to ensure I deliver stunning photos every time.

Hey there! I'm Steven, a wedding photographer based in Glasgow, at the heart of Scotland. My life has been a rollercoaster of adventures, from the quiet lanes of a small village to the bustling streets of Glasgow, and I'm excited to share my story with you. So, grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and join me on this journey!

Have you ever witnessed a wedding that just felt so perfect for the couple, it was like it was meant to be? That's exactly how I felt at a recent wedding shoot I had the privilege of capturing.

What are weddings if not a celebration of love, of commitment, of two souls intertwining in a dance of eternal union? The beauty of a wedding lies not just in the stunning decorations or the picture-perfect setting, but in the real, natural, authentic moments that make the day truly special.

Years ago, a dear friend of mine, Robyn, made a promise to me. She said that when the time came for her to walk down the aisle and say "I do," I would be the one behind the camera, capturing every precious moment. Little did she know that Tom would come into her life and make that dream a reality.
