As a documentary wedding photographer l'm a big fan of the 'in-between' moments at weddings. The moments that almost seem to slip by without demanding too much attention, now don’t get me wrong I love the the confetti tunnel, the singing waiters and all the nice staged parts of the day that make it entertaining.

There’s something truly special about capturing a love story before the big day. Pre-wedding shoots offer couples a chance to create beautiful, relaxed memories together, and for me, as a photographer and videographer, they allow me to get to know my couples better. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Miranda & Duncan ahead of their wedding at Maryculter House. They booked my ‘Shang-a-lang’ package, which includes full-day photography and videography, and we met at the breathtaking Crathes Castle for their engagement session. With their easygoing nature, love for the outdoors, and a stunning golden hour setting, this shoot was pure magic.
