Hi, I’m Kay

Over the past two-plus years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings across Scotland, the UK, Europe, and beyond, helping couples preserve the genuine, heartfelt moments of their special day.

Photography isn’t just my work — it’s my passion. I love telling stories through images, capturing those fleeting, unposed moments that truly show the connection, joy, and emotion between two people. Every smile, every tear, every quiet glance matters — and my job is to make sure it’s remembered forever.

I approach every wedding with a calm, unobtrusive style, so you can relax, enjoy your day, and trust that every moment is being captured naturally and beautifully. My couples often tell me that working with me feels effortless — like having a friend quietly preserving your story while you’re fully immersed in your celebration.

Whether you’re planning an intimate Scottish wedding, a UK celebration, or a destination wedding in Europe, my goal is the same: to create timeless, storytelling images that reflect your day exactly as it felt. I work closely with every couple to understand their story, their vision, and what matters most to them — so your photographs are uniquely yours
