Mill Forge Gretna Green Wedding Venue The charming little wedding venue The Mill Forge in located in the worldwide popular town of Gretna Green in Scotland. I've had the pleasure of working here for many years in a row. The main area of Gretna is often full of tourists, but The Mill Forge offers a small retreat from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. Many photographers work in the area but couples choose me as I look for nature around the location instead of just sticking to the obvious landmarks. For bride and groom portraits we sneak off to the fields behind the venue for some...

Natural Wedding Photography The biggest compliment I've ever had as a wedding photographer is to be called a ninja! This has been mentioned to me by at least three different couples over the many years I've been shooting weddings. They said I was so discreet when capturing the day, they hardly noticed I was there. This is honestly the biggest compliment! A wedding day is all about the bride and groom, and shouldn't be about the photographer. By allowing a wedding to flow naturally and by being that fly on the wall for a majority of the day, you can capture a wedding day as it happens. These natural...

Scotland- Mill Forge Photographer | Karina & Lewis Meet the stunning Karina and Lewis! They were married a few days ago at Gretna Green, Scotland. Like many couples since Covid started they had to postpone their wedding day twice. Having to postpone just makes a wedding that much sweeter once the couple are able to go ahead!

From personalised silhouette cake topper (including their two cute pugs!) to a leather jacket hand painted by a friend. The wedding ceremony was outdoors...
