The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Definitely! I am based in Aberdeenshire but I love to travel and amore than happy to travel throughout Scotland and beyond.
All of our packages include travel within Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. However, if your wedding is located outside of this area, a small fee may be necessary to cover our travel and, if required, accommodation expenses.
However we do keep any additional costs as low as possible so please don’t hesitate to reach out, I'd love to hear your plans!
How long have you been doing this?
I received my very first camera at 10 years old and I loved the ability to capture memories at such a young age.
I went on to study Contemporary Art Practice at Gray’s School of Art continuing my love for photography.
Once I graduated in 2023 I knew I wanted to pursue a career in photography. I have had the wonderful opportunity to host many photoshoots since 2022 and I hope for my skills to grow and develop along the way.
How do we get our photos?
Once your photos are ready, I will send out your link and password to access your online gallery. From there, you will be able to view and download your photos.
I will also hand deliver or post your personalised wooden keepsake box which includes highlight 6x4 fine art prints and a USB with all your photos.
When can I book for?
My Bookings is open for 2024/25.
Do we get Albums or Prints?
All of my packages include prints as I'm very passionate about getting your photos on the wall. You will be given the option to add on albums and framing from my bespoke range once I deliver your gallery.
Family, friends and guests can order online direct from your gallery.
Do you have a retainer fee?
Yes, for weddings I have a set £500 retainer fee. This will secure your wedding date.
For engagement/couple shoots I have set a £100 retainer fee to secure your photoshoot.
The remainder of the balance is to be paid one month before the event. The retainer fee is non-refundable should you decide to cancel.
Whats your turn around time?
For couple and engagement shoots this will be 2-3 weeks. For weddings this can take up to 6-8 weeks. However you'll get some previews within a few days to share away!
How do we book you?
Thank you for shortlisting me to be your photographer. To book your session email me to set up a meeting where we will discuss your vision. Or you can submit a request on your 'contact us' page and I'll get back to you!

What should we wear?
Neutrals are always a good choice and also help keep your images looking timeless. Shirts with large logos, graphics, words, etc. not only bring attention away from YOU and onto your clothes, but can also date your images quite quickly. So, stick to neutral or pastel solids and minimal prints and you'll be good to go.
What if we need extra time?
An hourly fee on top of our packages is £100. This can be added at any time leading up to your photoshoot.
