Aberdeenshire wedding photographer specialising in relaxed, natural photography for couples who want authentic storytelling moments, not awkward posing.

Weddings

Are you ready to create unforgettable memories?

Every couple has a story to tell, and while it may sound cliché, no two weddings are ever the same. Whether you’re celebrating with 100 guests, having an intimate gathering of your closest family, or just the two of you, your day is entirely your own. You might be saying your vows in a grand castle, a rustic barn, a marquee in your back garden, or eloping to the breathtaking Scottish Highlands —I truly love it all.


No matter what you have planned, my approach is always the same: to photograph your day as it naturally unfolds. From the quiet moments of morning preparations to the laughter, emotion, and energy on the dance floor, I capture it all — including the personal touches and beautiful details that make your story uniquely yours.


Many couples tell me they feel nervous about having their photos taken or worry about posing — but there’s no need. Think of me as an extra guest. We’ll go for a walk, have a chat, and I’ll offer gentle guidance when needed. That’s it. Before you know it, you’ll feel completely at ease — and you’ll be amazed at how natural, relaxed, and beautiful your photos truly are.

Simone was the photographer for our wedding and she did an amazing job, capturing our day perfectly! She put us at ease and we didn’t even know she was there some of the time. She captured some really lovely moments and looking back at them brings back parts of the day we missed

- Claire & Lyndain

We absolutely love all of our photos, Simone captured all of the best parts of the day, along with the moments that we missed, in a completely natural and un staged manor. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you so much Simone!

- Nia & Neal

Just a wee note to say a HUGE thank you. You’ve been so wonderful to work with, and ever since the pre-shoot we felt so at ease with you behind the camera, completely following our requests of having mostly candid photo but also making the most of all the opportunities for the best photos possible. You were just fantastic on the day, so discrete, patient with all family members and dealing with the drizzle.

- Natasha & Sean

Can't recommend Simone enough! She was absolutely amazing to work with, from booking, to the wedding day, to photo delivery. Many of our guests commented how friendly yet unobtrusive she was during the wedding, and she was great at getting us to look natural and not awkward in photos. She also delivered our photos even quicker than expected, despite it being the busiest time of year for weddings. We love our photos so much, and we're so glad we booked Simone for our special day.

- Emma & Andrew

Simone is amazing! and her style was exactly what we were looking for. She is very natural and relaxed which was great as that is what we wanted. Her attention to detail and getting the right shot whilst also being candid and natural was amazing. We met with her before our wedding to go over what we wanted and she delivered what we discussed and more! She was able to capture myself and my husband's personality and relationship in picture form and we have beautiful photos to show for it. Simone was also able to suggest other photographers for 2nd shooters as well as vidoegraphers if we wanted them. Will definitely keep her in mind for future photos and recommend her to family and friends.

"THE EDIT"
PLANNING A MICRO WEDDING? GOING ON AN ADVENTURE, JUST THE TWO OF YOU?

Tell me what you have in mind and let's create a custom package to suit you. Let's tell the story of you.

Small Weddings & Elopements

We would like to book!

What happens next?


The first step is getting in touch by through my enquiry form, where you can share all the details about you, your wedding date, your venue and the kind of day you're dreaming of. From there, I’ll confirm my availability and we can grab a coffee or arrange a call to chat over your plans and get to know each other a little better.

To official secure your date, I do require a £400 booking fee. Once that's paid and the contract is signed, your wedding is officially in my diary and our journey together begins.

We’ll then start planning your pre-wedding photo session, chatting through dates, locations, and the best time of year for it. In the lead-up to your wedding, keep me updated with your plans and feel free to ask questions at any point along the way.

As your day gets closer, I’ll ask you to think about the moments that matter most to you, along with any family group photos you’d like captured. We’ll then arrange a final chat, either in person or over Zoom, to run through the timings and all the final details of your day.

A day or two after your wedding, I'll send over a little sneak peek of your photos and have your full gallery ready to view in around 6-8 weeks, hopefully sooner. If you've chosen an album, the process of creating this will begin and you'll have a beautiful keepsake that brings you right back to the moment you said "I do."




People are weird. When we find someone with weirdness that is compatible with ours, we team up and call it love.

Questions & Answers

Can we meet before booking?

Yes, of course, I always suggest that we meet for a coffee and chat before booking. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and for me to explain a little more about my packages and show you through my sample album.


On the day how long will we be away from our guests for?

Usually your couple portraits will take around 30 minutes, so you won’t be gone for long. We will take a short walk around your venue, either with just the two of you or you can bring along your bridal party too, then it will be back to your guests.


When do we get to see out final photos?

Your online photo gallery link will be emailed over to you around 6 weeks after your wedding, sooner if I can. However a sneak preview will be with you within a week. Depending on the coverage you choose your gallery will include around 300 - 800 images in a mix of colour and black & white and this can be shared with your family and friends.


What happens if it rains?

You have to go with the flow and embrace it. I bring along lovley clear umberellas to every wedding so you don’t have to worry about getting wet, having a comfy pair of shoes or even a pair of wellies to hand is always an idea and don’t be too precious about your dress. You only get your wedding day once, so you don’t want to ever regret not going out.
