What a way to celebrate 10 years together.
Jaw-dropping decor, their dog along for the day, a wee wander around the Barras and, obviously, some Pokémon card shopping.

Honestly, what more could you want from a wedding?
The coolest pair and such a ridiculously fun day to photograph.

My new website is live.

I’ve spent a long time trying to make a website that actually feels like me - not just somewhere to put wedding photos.

There’s a lot more of my life in this one. Gaming, the things I’m currently listening to, and plenty of little details that probably have absolutely nothing to do with wedding photography tbh, but everything to do with who you’re actually booking.

There’s a whole section on how I work, digital + 35mm film, full wedding stories, and a bit more about why being a queer photographer is an important part of the way I approach this job.

Mostly, I just wanted somewhere that felt like mine. And something that could only really belong to me.

Very happy to finally have it out in the world.

Got married in Glasgow. Looked cool as fuck doing it.
23 Montrose Street, a wee wander through town, a stop at the @photoautomatglasgow booth at @streetlevelphotoworks, then over to The Vennel at Box Hub for the party.

Excellent outfits, excellent people, excellent day. No notes.

It’s been a minute since I was last at Lochside. A killer sunset and a firework display to round off the evening. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

Just some wedding stuff recently shot on film. Because you know I’m about to become insufferable when I pull out the toy film camera and ask you to pose for another 5 seconds.

Asking for a friend, do you think my disguise is convincing enough to evade, I don’t know, someone like Interpol? In a life like mine that spans many decades and ultimately I’ve seen things that the normal human mind simply cannot comprehend. You know if I think really hard I can levitate but that’s a story for another time.

I’ve seen it all folks, some things I definitely shouldn’t have seen and some dangerously stupid people are looking for me, more than the usual amount, and there is something so sexy about seeing a poster of your gorgeous face in a local bar saying ‘wanted dead or alive’ , maybe with a couple darts pierced into my picture for dramatic affect. At this point, I’m worth more dead. I wish the cunning bounty hunter person the best of luck once they stand before me trying to kill me. Can you kill the immortal? Unless you have a good aim, a thick pack of golden bullets and it happens on the 13th day of my birthday month, then honey. Better luck next time. I’m reminded of this quote the character ‘Frank Wood’ once said in my favourite video game series of all time “Call of Duty: Black Ops” - “You can’t kill me”.

Anyways, I had a lovely time at the Corinthian in Glasgow hosting a fabulous little ladies day and what a beautiful coincidence, That the absolute stunning photographer @francis_j_smith happens to just be there and got these beautiful pictures of me looking so stunning. So thank you to this icon!

Best wishes,
