Questions & Answers

Can we customise a package to suit our plans?

Absolutely. Every love story is unique, and your photography package should reflect that. If you don’t see something that fits quite right, we’ll tailor one together to match the celebration you have in mind.

Where are you based?

Based in Motherwell — perfectly positioned between the vibrant energy of Glasgow and the rich history of Edinburgh.

What’s the best way to get in touch?

Drop me a message at aela.photos@gmail.com, and unless I’m out chasing highland coos, I’ll be in touch within 48 hours.

How many images will we receive?

Rather than aiming for a specific number, I focus on creating a meaningful and complete gallery that captures the heart of your day. You will be receiving loads more photos than you'd expect!

When will we get to see our photos?

That’s totally normal, and honestly, it’s my job to make you feel at ease. I’ll offer gentle guidance as needed, but mostly I’ll focus on capturing you as you are — relaxed, connected, and present in the moment.

We’re awkward in front of the camera — help!

You’ll receive a little sneak peek within 5 days of your wedding. Your full gallery will be ready within 3 to 4 weeks.

We’re ready to book — what’s next?

Amazing! Start by getting in touch and telling me about your plans. Whether you’ve picked a location or are still figuring things out, we’ll talk it through. After our consultation, I’ll send over a contract and retainer invoice. Once everything’s signed and sorted, your date is officially locked in.

Do you bring backup gear?

Absolutely. I always photograph weddings using two full-frame mirrorless cameras and bring additional backup bodies to every event. Each camera is equipped with dual SD cards, ensuring your photos are backed up in real time as I shoot — so your memories are already safely stored before I even leave the venue.

We’re having a short ceremony in registry office — can we still book you?

Yes, I offer tailored coverage for shorter sessions if your date is within 2–6 weeks and I’m available. Let’s chat and create something that suits your timeline.

Our day is coming up soon — do we need to check in?

I’ll be in touch 1-2 weeks before your day with a planning questionnaire and a link to book a catch-up call. That way, we’ll have everything covered ahead of time.

What if it rains?

We embrace it! Rainy days can lead to some of the most romantic and atmospheric images. If needed, we can duck into a café or car and wait out heavier showers, but Scotland’s weather is part of the adventure.

Do you give the RAWS?

I do not. Editing is a huge part of being a creative! I don't deliver a specific amount of photos. I promise to capture and give you all of the important and special moments no matter how small or big!
