Chris Batchelor Images I’m a Borders photographer who loves capturing real moments — from weddings and family milestones to community events across the Borders and beyond.

My style is calm, natural and people‑centred, keeping things relaxed so you can just enjoy the day

I know it’s been a bit quiet on here lately, but I promise the camera hasn’t had a chance to gather dust. Life has been full-on in the best way.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been at a wedding fayre, a walking rugby festival, Earlston Civic Week fancy dress, two birthday cake smashes, a family photoshoot, and a lovely day out to Queensferry with my husband and my two youngest nieces on a boat trip under the Forth Bridges. I also spent a few days visiting my mum, and we’ve had my daughter’s family hen doo as well — so definitely not resting on my laurels.

Plenty of photos taken, plenty of memories made, and I’ll share some favourites soon.

I’m also planning some Back to School / Starting School studio sessions at The Smiddy, Lauder Leisure Centre during the week beginning 10th August — likely Mon, Tues and/or Wed.
£45 for a 30‑minute session, including 5 prints and 5 matching digital images.

If you’d like to book in, just drop me a message. Thanks for all your support — it means a lot.

March took me to the SOSE & Scottish EDGE Awards — a day full of ideas, pitches, nerves, excitement and well‑deserved wins.
Loved capturing the atmosphere and the people who make these events what they are.
