Top 50! A few frames from 2025
I was in Gdańsk last week (highly recommended!) for a short pre-season city break and returned home to an email from Terry informing me I had been included in the Top 50 UK Wedding Photographers list 😵!

I’m properly stoked to be included and genuinely honoured to be all tucked up alongside some of the finest movers, shakers and talented lens wielders in the industry, many of whom I admire greatly and some who Im lucky enough to call friends. Also super cool that this year .co are involved as sponsors, the team at stylecloud are website magicians and worth checking out.
A lovely lovely surprise as I step into my 20th season at the wedding coal face! Somehow still here on the tools, still learning, still trying to figure out how to better tell these stories but always grateful for the couples I work with and who allow me to wander creatively and trust me to document their day. What a privelige!
The first wedding of the year is in a couple of weeks and after a long Winter (it rained for over 40 days straight here in Scotland!! ☔️) I m defo looking forward to being out there creating again in the Springtime
How is everyone out there? What has 2026 in store for you?

Woodland Elopement in Scotland
‘Come closer and see, see into the trees, find the girl if you can’ R.Smith
Scotland has some pretty rugged mountains but also boasts some special wooded areas which can gift us some misty, moody vibes… A perfect place to say your vows in some quiet woodland
D & L ran away to the Cairngorms National Park, stayed in a cute cottage within a mossy woodland and whispered their vows next to a beautiful wee Lochan before wandering above the tops to drink in the views.
Hope you are all well out there, hugs from perma-rainy Scotland 🖤

How is your January going out there?
We have just sneaked past ‘Blue Monday’ and the days feel just a little bit longer, daylight now lingering until past 4:30 feels like a treat, as we tentatively eye up the Springtime.. (although there is still very much a Scottish ‘bite’ to the wind here 🥶)
Im not massively into shouting the odds or tooting my trumpet in any form (ok… Hibs v Hearts games aside) but I figured as its a big year I would would use this to say a few thanks
My yesterday was made a little less chilly after receiving an email to say that Ive been nominated for Europe’s Best Wedding Photographer 2025.
Im aware there are a million ‘competitions’ out there but this has come from in-secret, un-prompted nominations from within the industry/my peers which for me feels genuine and valid, also the cool thing for me is it is part of the mighty mighty The biggest, coolest workshop/gathering in Europe and one Ive followed for a long time
If you told that young photographer 20 years ago he would still be shooting weddings (still be alive tbh!) I would not have believed you. To be here now in 2026 still psyched and creating, learning year on year, trying to hone the craft, staying humble for couples and just putting in the hard work at the wedding coal face every weekend feels good in itself, but for people to view my work as still relevant and taking the time to nominate it, is wild, especially now as the industry is absolutely rammed with talent, year on year I look out and Im totally blown away. So a huge thankyou to whoever took the time, big love🤘
And to all the couples, without whose trust and good energy there would nothing to create, to show! 🖤
Im taking some time out for the next while, working on a plan for this year, scouting for new areas, imagining new ways to work, trying to raise my game, avoid the rut and the settle.
On that, Im also attending a wedding docu workshop in March in London run by the amazing Anyone else on here going?
Finally, Im really looking forward to meeting all my 2026 couples! Its your year! 😍

A few frames from 2025
From Party vibes in Sunny Provence to the wild cliffs of the Orkney Islands.

From Scottish Castles to French Chateau’s.. Edinburgh’s city streets to Windswept East Coast beaches
From Glencoe valley and the wonders of Assynt, to the rolling Scottish Borders and Galloway forest park. Its been a wild ride.
Im stepping into a big year… on April 12th it will be 20 years since I shot my first elopement in Glencoe, a fact that totally blows my mind! Its cool that I’ll be there on that day as Im shooting an elopement in the Glen on the 11th so I’ll stay over and go for a celebratory hike! A lot has changed in the elopement space since I was that wide eyed young photographer hiking and scouting for locations and encouraging couples to run to the hills and Im pondering where all this will go next.. but Im keen to write about this in another post.
Also, on May 10th I’ll shoot my 800th wedding which is wild. How the F did that happen? Im glad I kept note of these as its something to reflect upon, many ups but also a lot of challenges and deep downs, its not the easy path(for me at least) but the creative working life is all I ever wanted/could imagine doing and I feel super lucky to still be here and all thanks to the couples who put their trust in me to turn up and create for them
2025 was full, with lots of travel! destination weddings, local elopements and everything in between. Ive made friends and connections and I hope Ive created something my couples can enjoy for years to come! so many highlights that its hard to put into words.
As well as my clients from 2025, a massive thanks must be said to all the lovely celebrants, hair/MUA’s, venue co-ordinators, venues, florists, musicians, planners, videographers and all the rest of the wedding teams that do so much for the day and are super cool to work alongside.🖤
Im so grateful to still be here, creating and working with loved up humans and Im so looking forward to pushing myself more creatively in 2026
Hope you are well out there!
Hugs from Snowy Poland

Happy 2026 out there!
Im not sure where to start with this one, a wonderfully warm, welcoming, emotional and fun destination wedding in Provence
From the minute I arrived in France to shoot Shailee & Tom’s 3 day wedding adventure I was welcomed in and made to feel like part of the clan. It was an incredible time and so hard to leave the pool party on the Sunday having been in that joyous bubble for all that time, witnessing the love and connection between so many ace people. I stayed on for a few days to explore Arles and the local area (Arles is something of a photography exhibition capital! Well worth a visit!) and when out wandering I received a sweet message from S&T a couple days after the wedding which really hit me hard and made me realise that this job I do really means something, more than I ever imagined.
I’ll save a few words for the next post and for the long form blog story in time, but as its the 1st day of the year Im in a slightly reflective mood so maybe a couple.

As I step into my 20th season of weddings I feel more privileged than I ever have, honoured that couples and their families as sweet as S&T’s allow me to step into their circle for a short time to create and to document some of the most important days in their lives.Its a huge honour.

Im so grateful to all my couples from 2025, for the trusting me to create for allowing me, fo the fun and also taking the time to leave some amazing reviews! It means a lot.
Im super psyched for more big happy & wild weddings in 2026.
I have to say a huge shoutout to amazing wedding planner Donya for all her help before and on the day, super easygoing and a joy to work with! Thanks Donya I hope we cross paths again soon.
Also to Zoe and Gideon for the gift that is their home and this incredible venue! A testament to hard work and vision so Welcoming and and stunning space. Checki it out if you are looking for a Provence wedding venue!

Also hugs to these legends👇🏻Great team!
