Founder and Lead Photographer

Hi, I'm Francis! As a Glasgow photographer with a decade of experience photographing over 400 weddings all over Scotland, I've come to truly value the real, emotional moments that define a wedding day. Capturing those authentically is what I'm all about.

I focus on those real interactions and moments of joy that define your connection, creating a relaxed space where your true personalities can shine. I love offering a range of photographic options to suit your vision, from the dependable quality of digital to the unique charm of analogue film and even the nostalgic feel of vintage camcorder footage

Whether your wedding is in a charming rustic barn or a modern city venue, I'm delighted to travel throughout Scotland to be there. Inclusivity is at the core of my work. 

As an LGBT+ photographer and the proud sole owner of my business, my passion lies in celebrating love without exception, and I warmly welcome couples of all identities. 

And a special invitation to all the dog parents – please include your beloved dogs on your day! They're guaranteed to make a new friend in me.

My photographic journey has been filled with incredible moments, from going backstage at RockNess Music Festival (meeting the amazing Ellie Goulding, Norman Cook, and Jessie Ware) and experiencing the vibrant Glasgow nightlife (fond memories, though the late nights are behind me!), to the extraordinary privilege of photographing King Charles.

MULTI AWARD WINNING

Ultimately, capturing the magic of weddings feels like the most natural and rewarding path my passion has taken. I'm incredibly proud to have been recognised within the wedding photography industry, having won the Confetti Award for Best Wedding Photographer in 2020. This was followed by the honour of receiving the Scottish Wedding Awards for Creative Wedding Photographer of the Year and the Nations Wedding Awards for Outstanding Wedding Photographer of the Year, both in 2023. Most recently, I was delighted to be Highly Recommended in the Wedding Photographer category at the 2025 Confetti Awards.
