Okay, hear me out , if you’re dreaming of a wedding day that’s captured beautifully, naturally, and with zero extra faff… hybrid coverage might just be your new best friend.
I’ve been photographing weddings for over 15 years, and adding video into the mix has become one of the most exciting parts of what I do. Couples love it because it’s simple, seamless and still feels totally relaxed and the best bit is you only have one person documenting the whole story, start to finish.
When you book me for both photo and video, everything is captured in the same style: natural, documentary-led, warm, romantic and real. No clashing styles, no two people competing for the same moment, no awkwardness, just a smooth flow to your day.
You get your photos and a gorgeous little highlight film. It’s the perfect way to relive the moments that photos can’t quite capture on their own, your voices, the movement, the laughter, that wee squeeze of the hand before the ceremony, all the good stuff.

Photos are amazing, but video? Video brings your loved ones to life. Their laughter, the way they dance, the speech that made everyone cry , these are the moments you can actually hear and feel again and again. Years down the line, having that little film of family and friends is pure gold.
I got married over 15 years ago and wavered about getting a video, but int he end decided to and it was the best decision. My dad and grandparents are now no longer with us and getting to see them on video, hear voices just means so much to me, I have watched that dvd so many times and its probably one of my most treasured possessions from our wedding.
-I will already be photographing your wedding - So no extra person nor equipment, totally discreet & no messy tripods hanging about on the day.
-I am getting the best angles, creative shots & I am already close to the action – so I can get a mix of both all day.
-I do not film whole ceremony or speeches, just little snippets of the day. If you are after FULL audio / video of these moments that is when it is best to get a videographer on board - I have some of my favs listed here on my website.
- I don’t bring along any extra equipment, no gimbals or tripods, just my two cameras to keep it as subtle as possible so you probably won’t realise I am filming. Depending on weather and location my drone joins me too.
Hybrid coverage means you get both photos and video of your wedding day , all captured by me, with photography still the priority. Alongside your images, I’ll film short clips to capture movement, emotion, and those little interactions that photos alone can’t quite show.
I focus on filming the quieter, in-between moments. I dont promise to capture certain moments on video, I go with the day and capture what I think will work without limiting your photos. I also capture candid moments, the atmosphere, and the details of your celebration , so when you watch your film in the years to come, it’s not just what your day looked like, but how it felt to be there. I dont promise to capture certain moments on video, I go with the day and capture what I think will work without limiting your photos.
All your clips are then edited into a short, unique highlight film set to music.
So, what’s the difference between hybrid coverage and hiring a separate videographer?
With hybrid, it’s just me capturing both your photos and video in the same style, the same flow, and without any extra crew getting in the way. Your photos stay the priority, but the video adds movement, emotion, and all the little moments that photos alone can’t capture.
First of all, I create short, 6 minute highlight wedding films. I don’t create full length feature wedding films. I don’t record any part of the day in its entirety, just rather small snapshots from parts of the day. I don’t film the full ceremony or speeches, and I don’t guarantee capturing any specifics on film: as noted above your film is secondary to your photos
Since I take on a limited number of weddings per year, no more than 25, I encourage couples to book as early as possible to secure their date. Most couples book 12–18 months ahead, but if your wedding is sooner, still get in touch — I sometimes have space for last-minute dates.
Yes, I photograph weddings across Scotland (and beyond). Travel fees apply for longer distances, but I’ll always be clear about these upfront. I am frequently up in the highlands for weddings and also travel down to the lake district aswell.
Absolutely. Elopements are some of my favourites, full of emotion, freedom and atmosphere. Plus I do love getting outdoors in amongst the stunning scenery and dodging the midges.
For a full day, expect around 600–800 carefully edited images, all in my signature romantic style, in both colour and black and white.
Happy, romantic, fun and light just as your day should be.
I don’t follow photography trends as I love to create photographs that are timeless, classic and romantic. So that in 10 years time you will still look back and love them without them looking dated.
I find the couples who book me have similar traits to me. Chilled with a good sense of humor. Who adore their families and want this love captured.
Scotland’s weather can be unpredictable, but it always adds character. I’ll guide you to make the most of the light and conditions, rain often brings the most atmospheric images! We can have fun and go full on notebook vibes! You cant control the weather but you can control how you behave towards it on your day, instead of being sad that you didn’t get full on sunshine, embrace the fact all your guests will stay inside together and party hard!
You’ll get a small preview within 48 hours, and your full gallery within 6–8 weeks.
From morning prep to at least three dances into the evening (or until the dance floor gets really wild!), I am basically yours for the day.
There’s a package (Blue Moon Rose) that includes a highlight film. Also, you can add a second shooter, or extra hours, or special print or album options.
Yes, and I encourage it. There’s nothing like seeing your story beautifully printed — something to pass down and relive for years. I hate the photos hidden on hard drives so include 15 complimentary prints in my full day packages
Absolutely, this is a great idea as it means you get to have a practice before the big day and instead of spending months worrying about having your photos taken, you will see how easy and relaxed the whole process is, plus it means we won’t feel like strangers by the time the wedding comes.
I specialize in natural, candid photography so nothing is too posed. Just get not touch and we can chat about what package would suit you best.
Yes, I shoot hybrid so that means I not only capture your photos but also capture snippets of video too and edit this into a highlight reel. This package is ideal for couples who hate being center stage as its only me and you won’t notice me taking video aswell.
I'm a fine art photographer for the adventurous and the romantic, I am based in Glasgow in Scotland. I have been described as an 'artistic' photographer by others and this probably sums up my work quite well. I have had my work featured on Vogue Italia, We Fell in Love, My lovely Scottish Wedding, US Blog Ruffled Wedding Blog and many more..
I like old movies and new friends. I'm a hopeless romantic, my favourite movies are Gone with the Wind and pretty much most films directed by Baz Luhrmann. I was brought up on alot of Disney which is most likely where my happily ever after streak has grown from! I am a huge animal lover and have an unhealthy obsession with anything pirate themed and Audrey Hepburn.
