Joel Sent on 08/12/2024A Perfect Day, Perfectly Captured
From the day we had our initial meeting with Dougi in Edinburgh to the actual big day, Dougi's warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, making our wedding day even more special. Dougi always made us comfortable to trust his process and his ideas which all translated amazingly. His ability to blend seamlessly with our guests and capture authentic moments was truly impressive. From the very beginning of the day’s activities, the heartfelt exchange of vows at the ceremony, the festive and lively drinks reception, to the unforgettable speeches and joyful dance floor, he truly captured the essence of our celebration.
The stunning photographs with the backdrop of the historic Balmoral Hotel, with its grandeur and elegance, perfectly complemented the beauty of our wedding day. The album he created is a timeless treasure, filled with memories that will be cherished for generations.
We are eternally grateful to Dougi for his talent, professionalism, and dedication. His work has exceeded our expectations and provided us with a beautiful visual record of our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Dougi to any couple seeking a photographer who will capture the magic of their wedding day.

It was great having Dougi do our wedding photography. From arranging early meetings and making us feel at ease, it was a great experience.
The photos from the day completely capture the mood of us and all our guests.
So it’s a great big thank you from us. We would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Dougi to anyone. Great job.Dougi McMillan Photography's reply:

Erin Sent on 28/12/2024Don’t look any further for candid shots!
We came across Dougi when looking for a photographer that could produce really natural photos of our wedding. Neither of us are particularly posey people and didn’t want to spend any length of time standing still. Dougi was everything we were looking for and the offering of a ‘pre wedding’ shoot was really appealing to us. We booked 2 years before the wedding and he kept in touch the entire time offering assistance and checking in. Then it came time for our pre shoot, Dougi was really flexible with dates and times and met with us in Edinburgh on a very busy day! He put us at ease instantly over a coffee and seemed genuinely interested in chatting about our lives and wedding. I noticed he had been following us both on social media for a while at this point so he had a good idea of our personalities which I think is a great touch. The shots he got on that day were so fun, he was really easy to follow and you could just see his creative mind at work. We got them back so quickly too.
The Wedding Day - he arrived and brought an air of calm to the suite. I was much more relaxed than anticipated and he just got straight to work, the pictures of the bridesmaids all ready are some of my favourite overall! He was so subtle that morning you wouldn’t have known he was there if he wasn’t making you laugh.
We got married on the day of Storm Darragh and the wind could’ve taken you away, that and it felt like -5 outside… Dougi was really quick in getting our outdoor shots and you wouldn’t know from the pictures that we were absolutely Baltic!
The rest of the night he bounced around and captured loads of great memories for us, people have said they had no idea he was there on the dance floor and has caught so many lovely moments as a result.
Nothing was forced with Dougi, he’s so easy to get along with and his wealth of experience is just so obvious in his work. We couldn’t recommend him more highly if we tried. Don’t look any further than him for gorgeous candid memories of your day!Dougi McMillan Photography's reply:
Hi Erin & Ryan,
Wow! Thank you so much for your extremely kind words about my photography service, it means so much to me that you had a brilliant wedding day and my photographs managed to capture it perfectly for you both. I had a blast at your wedding (quite literally with the storm haha) and it was lovely to meet with all your family & friends. What a great day! I wish you both all the very best for your future together and I hope to see you both at a friends wedding in the future.

Smith, 28 Oct 24.
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. From start to finish, Dougie was the epitome of professionalism and made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. His communication throughout the day was excellent, ensuring everything flowed perfectly without feeling rushed. Thoughtful and attentive, he had a way of putting us at ease, making even the most camera-shy moments feel natural. Above all, his caring and understanding nature truly stood out, capturing not just beautiful images but the genuine emotions of the day. We are so grateful for his incredible work and highly recommend them!Dougi McMillan Photography's reply:
Hi Isla,
Thank you very much for your very kind words about my photography services, I had such a great day meeting with all your family & friends and enjoyed every minute of your fabulous wedding day. I wish you both all the very best going forward for your life together, take care.

Listened to what we wanted and delivered it perfectly
We were sceptical about wedding photography and absolutely loathed the idea of an album full of posed and fake shots which captured rows of relatives and curated, staged images of us “having a lovely time”.
We told Dougi as much and he said he could deliver what we wanted, and he absolutely did. Inobtrusive and discrete he skirted the day taking hundreds of photographs that reflected us and our surroundings and friends and family perfectly. I love the photographs and he was so nice and easy to have as part of the day.Dougi McMillan Photography's reply:
Hi Nikola,
Thank you so much for your kind words & thank you also for booking me as your photographer. It was the perfect day and I had such a nice time meeting all your family & friends. Thank you for everything and I wish you both all the very best going forward for your life together.

Kristi Sent on 16/09/2024Couldn’t Be Happier With Our Experience And Photos
My husband and I found Dougi’s portfolio of wedding photography in our search and we knew immediately that we had found our photographer. Dougi perfectly captured the candid, relaxed feeling we were hoping for. He really has an incredible eye for capturing moments. Dougi was such a joy to work with through every step of the process, from our first zoom meeting to receiving our gallery of photos. His great communication and support, flexibility and chill vibe put us right at ease. Thomas and I couldn’t be happier with our photos! And all of our friends and family have been complimenting them as well. We’re only sad that our time working with Dougi is over. -
