On Hitched.co.uk since 2020

Last update: February 2025

Hitched Wedding Awards Winner 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Firstly, congratulations on your engagement! And, secondly, thank you for taking a closer look at what I have to offer.

About me - and my offer to you

I am a passionate wedding photographer who covers events in the Edinburgh/Lothian, Scottish Borders, Newcastle, Northumberland and Cumbria areas.

Photographing weddings in a genuine pleasure for me – and not just a business. Being invited to spend time with couples and their families on the happiest day of their lives is a huge privilege and an equally large responsibility. I aim to capture all the big ticket moments of your day: the all-important bridal (and sometimes groom) preparations in the morning, the bride’s walk down the aisle, the essential family photos and speeches – and the cutting of the cake. But just as important are the little details: intimate looks between couples, the rings, the dress, the shoes and the spirit of the day through close attention to your choice of flowers and decoration.

My photographs are about colour and movement. It is so important to me to capture the colour popping from the bride’s bouquet or the subtle lighting as it changes throughout the day. Equally important is capturing the swish of a dress and the movement of your guests as the party gets going. Most of all, my wedding photography is about capturing the fun and celebration of your day and ensuring you have a set of beautiful pictures that evoke the atmosphere of your wedding to cherish for decades to come. The photographs can be as posed or as candid as you like – but whichever your choice, I will do my very best to ensure you’re at ease and enjoying yourself.

My fee for five hours

If you aren't looking for a photographer to capture the entire day, I charge £500 for 5 hours (less a 5% Hitched discount of £25 making it £475) plus any parking costs.

My fee for a full day

In return for my fee of £840 (less a 5% Hitched discount making it £798) and any parking costs, I will photograph your wedding from the bride’s preparations until an hour after the first dance. I will deliver 35 headline images within a week of your wedding, with a total of around 350 images within a month of your big day.

Next steps!

Please take a closer look at my portfolio and reviews.. If you like my style, don’t hesitate to get in touch and I’d be delighted to meet in person or virtually over Zoom.

Whatever your decision, I wish you the very best of luck – and thank you for stopping by.

Niall

Perfect Photographer for a Perfect Day!

Niall was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the start, he was incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and super responsive, ensuring every moment was perfectly planned. His creativity and eye for detail really stood out, capturing stunning candid shots and all the important moments beautifully. On the day, his warm and friendly presence made everyone feel at ease, and he worked seamlessly with the venue and other vendors. The final photos were nothing short of breathtaking, with flawless composition and editing that highlighted the emotion and magic of the day. If you're looking for a talented, dependable, and passionate photographer, I highly recommend Niall!

We had high expectations, and Niall went above and beyond them.

Organising a wedding is arguably the most stressful thing we have ever done. If there's one thing about it that gave us no stress; it was Niall.

From start to finish he was hands on and made us feel super comfortable. We had 2 video call meetings. The first was an informal meeting which he used to find out more about us, which really personalised the experience and the second was closer to the wedding and more specific. Asking if there's any pictures we had in mind, offering a rough outline of the day and providing his own professional recommendations. We both felt really happy with our choice at this point and he ended the call with a lovely statement that actually helped make our wedding day easier to navigate. "Don't forget, this is your day. Please don't get stressed and if there's something to worry about or something goes wrong, pass it on to someone else. Just enjoy yourselves and make the most of it". As someone that worries about how things will go, that piece of advice really meant a lot to us and it was lovely of him to bring it up.

On the day itself Niall delivered well above what we were hoping for. He was able to organise shots without being bossy and made everyone feel comfortable while also not letting beautiful moments pass us by. He took just the right amount of the day for photo sessions and even did his homework on the local area, so one of the guests could drive us about to places of interest and get some unique shots that weren't just as the wedding venue. That was just another example of going above what we had even thought of.

When we got the photos back we were overjoyed. Sometimes you can romanticise what a day looked like in your head, but Niall captured so many beautiful and perfect moments i'm not exaggerating when I say I couldn't have pictured it better in my own mind. I can't wait to look back on the pictures often and be reminded of my perfect day with my perfect photos.

If you are looking for a photographer please consider Niall. He personalised the experience (right down to the requested pokemon card shot!) and was very professional and friendly and we were so happy we found him.

Great Photographer!

Niall was excellent to deal with. From when we decided to go with Niall to the aftercare following the wedding, Niall was professional, courteous and reassuring at all times. On the day of the wedding itself he was calm and supportive. We would highly recommend going with Niall, a great guy and great at what he does!

Captured the day

Niall was an amazing photographer. From the moment we contacted him, he was great at keeping on touch and answering any questions we had. On the day he just went about his business in an unobtrusive way. How he captured the photos he did, I do not know. We have had so much feedback from guests at how good he was and how the photos have really captured the spirit of our wedding. We are delighted with the memories we have through the photos.

Mr & Mrs Stewart 23/09/2023

Fantastic! This is one of the many words we can use to sum up Niall. From the very beginning he was great. Our first zoom call Niall was friendly, helpful and very knowledgable. He made us both feel at ease on our special day. We are not the most confident of people infront of the camera but Niall couldn’t have been more patient with us ( and my bridesmaid for bossing him about all day ) Our wedding photos were captured exactly how we imagined and how we described on our zoom call before the big Day. We received many compliments from family and friends regarding how friendly and how well Niall fitted in. It has been an absolute pleasure having Niall as part of or wedding, our photos are beautiful. Anyone looking for a friendly professional photographer this is your man!

Myself and a vicky instantly clicked with Niall from our first meeting. He made us feel so comfortable and at ease with everything. He is such a professional gentleman that went above and beyond for us on our special day and we had such a laugh with him! We felt like we had already known him for a long time and we can't thank him enough!

He is definitely the best in the buissness and im not just saying that!

Great guy and very talented photographer.

Niall was an absolute Gentleman and an asset to our wedding day. He made our wedding so special and was able to capture every moment through his camera lens.

Niall was hired as a photographer but by the end if the day he felt more like a guest due to his friendly nature and how comfortable he made both me and my partner feel.

We could not recommend Niall anymore to future couples.

Thank you Niall for capturing our day. X
