Scotland Based Wedding Photographer
Motherwell Based Wedding Photographer
Start-To-Finish Storytelling that Turns Elopements
Into Edge-Of-Your Seat Memories
Say “I Do” In a Land of Legendary Beauty
Scotland wedding photographer for heartfelt, candid love stories
I’m Kay, a Scotland wedding photographer based in Motherwell—perfectly placed between the rustic charm of Edinburgh and the modern energy of Glasgow, all surrounded by Scotland’s breathtaking natural beauty.
From historic cobbled streets to dramatic mountain backdrops, I blend heartfelt storytelling with a calm, comfortable presence to capture weddings that feel as real and meaningful as your connection.
Whether you're sharing a quiet moment under the Highland mist or celebrating in the heart of the city, I’ll be there to document every detail with care, warmth, and intention.


Picture a place where ancient castles watch over rolling hills, where cobbled streets lead to hidden cafés glowing with warmth, and where mist drifts quietly across lochs and glens. Scotland is a land where every corner tells a story—whether it’s the quiet grandeur of the Highlands, the gothic charm of Edinburgh, or the modern rhythm of Glasgow.
Walk hand in hand through forest paths and castle ruins, along sandstone closes and coastal cliffs. Stop for a coffee in a tucked-away café, or steal a moment together beneath the arches of a centuries-old bridge. Every scene—wild or woven with city life—becomes part of your story.
As your wedding photographer, I don’t just capture images. I follow the light through castle courtyards, down bustling city lanes, and into the calm of nature’s untouched spaces. I’ll guide you through the familiar and the hidden—always keeping the focus on your connection and the atmosphere around you.
Whether it’s a quiet glance under moody skies or laughter echoing through a busy street, I’ll preserve the feeling, the story, and the soul of your day.
Feel that pull in your heart? That’s Scotland calling.
Expect genuine moments, a calm presence, and a story that unfolds naturally
— with your unique connection at the heart of it

Hi, I’m Kay
Surrounded by rolling hills, historic cities, hidden cafés, and centuries-old castles, I photograph love stories that are as real and unique as the people living them. My approach is simple: candid, unobtrusive, and calm. I believe the best moments happen when you’re relaxed and truly yourselves — so I’ll never ask you to pose stiffly or perform for the camera. Instead, I gently guide you, giving space for authentic connection to shine through.
Whether you're walking hand in hand through a quiet forest, sharing a laugh in a busy city street, or pausing for a coffee as the rain taps on the window, I’ll be there — capturing every in-between moment with care and intention.
I don’t just photograph weddings — I document meaningful moments in places that feel calm and full of character, from quiet lochs and coastal views to cobbled streets and cosy cafés across Scotland. And while I’m proud to call this beautiful country home, I’m always ready to travel wherever your love story leads.
Expect heartfelt storytelling, a relaxed experience, and a gentle presence behind the lens — all with a touch of Scotland’s magic.
— a Scotland wedding photographer based in Motherwell, where the wild beauty of the Highlands meets the character of Edinburgh and the energy of Glasgow.
