Scottish Islands Wedding Photographer Scotland Wedding photography is always an adventure! As much as each wedding is incredibly similar in how they work, many stay with me for their unique scenery, moments or qualities. One place I love travelling to the most is Scotland. I end up there so many times a year, often taking my little family with me to go off and explore while I'm working. My Golden Retriever is always along with them for the ride!

I Don't Want My Pictures on Social Media or Online, is That Possible? A number of times over the years, just once in a while, I get a request to keep a potential client's photos off social media and my blog. How do I, as the photographer, feel about this?

Also your privacy is very important, and you may simply wish not to have your photos online. I always work along with a client - if they prefer to keep...
