Glasgow Documentary Wedding’s

Why a documentary wedding photographer?

Scott is a Glasgow based wedding photographer, having covered culturally diverse celebrations in a documentary manner, delivering the story of your day in photographic form.

Each wedding is unique and therefore your photographs should also be unique. My approach is to record all the elements of your day in beautiful and natural photographs that when put together transports you back to that day, time and time again. I am not just there as your photographer, I am experiencing the feeling of the day you have been meticulously planning. This means when it comes to editing and curating the story of your day I can draw out that emotion through visual storytelling and music. To see the end result check out the photo film on this page, but remember, each day is different.

I make a visual record of the day as it actually happens, no posed uncomfortable shots, no time stolen from your guests, no cliché. You get to fully enjoy the day you have been planning, interacting with the people you’ve chosen to share a special moment in time with whilst I unobtrusively record it for you to look back on for years to come.

No latest trends, just a timeless record of the moments and people to cherish.

My joy comes when couples look at the images for the first time and start to piece together all the special moment that made your day wonderful.

As a photographer I look for the moments, the laughter, the connection and the light. All of these make for photographs you will want to look back on time and time again much like the family photographs of the past, that connect and make memories forever.

I prefer black and white images due to the timeless nature of that format but can also provide colour images with me often choosing a mix for the final edit.

The people close to you in your moment!

Together, we move through your day making and capturing once in a lifetime moments forever. The parents, grandparents, friends and family, young and old as everyone has a magical day, why break that up when you can have it done seamlessly?

  • What is most important to me is the same as all the other people invited to share your day, that you have the best day ever and I get the privilege to share and capture it for you.

Contact

Steven and Gedaina came together in marriage in the beautiful setting of Kelburn castle and estate, North Ayrshire, Scotland. It was a multicultural wedding with Steven from Scotland and Gedaina, Brazil. The wedding photographs in a documentary style tell the story of their day, the people, the moments and emotion. Generally I work in candid moments, not interrupting the day. The final edit is what you can expect when you book me to document your day, each day is different and will be put together with music that reflects the vibe of each stage in the day.

It was wonderful for me to be able to see parts of the story of our wedding that I didn't get to see on the, like these morning shots. Thank so much Scott.

Groom, 5th September 2026 

It is so beautiful the way you work, weaving quietly in and out and all with so much respect for the natural unfolding of the day.
