Just the best!

We honestly couldn’t recommend Andrew enough.

He was so much more than just our photographer on the day. He was calm, chilled, reassuring, and genuinely felt like part of the wedding party. When little things didn’t quite go to plan, he helped keep everyone calm and reminded us that the day would still be special, and he was absolutely right.

He helped things run smoothly, made everyone feel at ease, and just brought such a lovely energy to the day.

And the photos are beautiful. We’re so grateful to have had Andrew there, not only to capture the day, but to be such a support throughout it as well.

Thank you so much, 🤍

An amazing experience with Andrew!

We are beyond grateful for Andrew, our amazing photographer, who helped pull off the ultimate surprise for my engagement. Organizing everything from Hong Kong was a bit of a challenge, especially since I had no idea where to pop the question. Thankfully, Andrew was full of helpful and creative ideas.

He didn’t just capture the moment I proposed; he captured the joy, excitement, and love we felt. His photos are incredible and truly more than I ever expected. We’ll treasure them forever.

Andrew is not only talented but also super friendly and easy to work with. If you’re looking for someone to perfectly capture your special moments, I highly recommend him. Thank you, Andrew, for giving us memories we’ll hold close forever!

Man behind the camera

Hello, I'm Andrew McKay

A wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

My photography journey began with a love for Scotland’s landscapes and the incredible light, textures, and moments that exist right on our doorstep. Over time, that appreciation for place naturally evolved into a passion for people — real connections, genuine emotion, and the fleeting moments that often matter the most.

My approach is all about creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience. I know most people don’t spend their weekends in front of a camera. My job is to make you feel comfortable, guide you gently when needed, and give you the space to be yourselves. No awkward posing, no forced smiles — just honest, natural moments that tell your story.

I photograph weddings in a relaxed style, focusing on the in-between moments just as much as the big ones — the laughter, the nerves, the quiet glances, and everything you might not even realise is happening at the time. The result is a gallery that feels true to you and lets you relive the day as it really was.

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a full-day celebration, or something completely your own, I’d love to be there to capture it in a way that feels effortless, meaningful, and timeless.

If you’re looking for a photographer who’ll blend in, keep things calm, and care just as much about how the day feels as how it looks — we’ll get on just fine.

My promise to you is that I’ll be even more buzzing to capture your wedding than I am when the dessert arrives.
