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 Memories of our Wee Wedding
We feel very lucky and grateful that we found Niall as our wedding photographer.
He is incredibly professional and very talented. From our initial meeting he was so interested and enthusiastic about our day. He researched the location and even visited beforehand so he could find the best positions and times to get the most beautiful pictures. He asked if we wanted any particular images and also made great suggestions. On the day, he was punctual and worked unobtrusively.
Our wedding photos are so, so special and he has captured perfectly our special day. You can book Niall with total confidence that you will have the best memories of your precious day.

The best photographer you will find!
Niall photographed our wedding just over two weeks ago and we are genuinely so pleased with the service provided from our very first email communication, through two meetings, prep for the day, on the day and the follow up. Niall was professional from start to finish and was so patient and great with all the guests, ensuring we got the photos we wanted without sacrificing the fun of the day for anyone!
We had our headline photos with us within 24 hours of Niall leaving and the remaining photos with us today, just over two weeks from the big day, which surpassed our expectations completely.
One of our guests has already booked Niall for their wedding after seeing the fantastic job he did.
Thank you Niall!

A friendly face
I honestly don’t think I could find you a better photographer than Niall if you asked. His level of professionalism throughout the day was incredible and his commitment to getting the right shot blew me away. We struggled to find somewhere to host our couple shots but when I gave Niall a location the night before the wedding, he was there and setting up his ideas for shots by the morning of!
He made me feel so at ease as I can sometimes struggle with ‘candid’ shots but it was so easy with Niall.
Our pictures came out incredibly well and I cannot wait to see them all!

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 got married at Balbirnie House Hotel on 15th March 2025. From the start we both found Niall extremely friendly, helpful, and he answered all of my emails very promptly. Niall had travelled nearly 2 hours to get to our venue and arrived bang on time. We didn’t really know which style of photography we would like, but as we do not like being in front of the camera very much we agreed with Niall that natural occurring shots were best for us along with the standard group pics and couple shots. Looking back at the photos, Niall had captured our day perfectly! He really showed how stunning the day was and caught all of our personal touches. There are so many beautiful photos that were taken without even realising, which is exactly what we wanted. So many of our guests also thought Niall was so lovely and professional. We would 100% recommend Light Brush Weddings and especially to those who are shy when it comes to photos as Niall made us feel so relaxed. Thank you so much for our beautiful photos.

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.

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.

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!
