//About Me
Meet Calum
When so much of life happens online, it can be hard to know who’s who, and who’s really on your team. So here’s me, putting a face to the name.
I live in a small village called Stonehaven, just outside Aberdeen, with my wife Kimberley, our two kids, Kit and Amy, and our fur babies. It’s a charming coastal town with an old high street, a historic harbour, pubs right on the water, fish and chips along the promenade, you get the picture. And yes, there’s even a castle perched on the cliffs overlooking it all.
My journey into wedding photography began over 20 years ago. I started out photographing my friends skating local spots, drawn to capturing real moments as they unfolded. That early love for storytelling naturally evolved into photographing people, and by the age of 19 I’d booked my first wedding. Since then, my approach has stayed the same; honest, documentary storytelling that captures the day as it truly feels.
For me, weddings are about far more than an expensive party. They’re deeply meaningful celebrations of connection, filled with emotion, laughter, and the kind of moments you can’t plan. I focus on raw, heartfelt images; the quiet glances, the chaos on the dance floor, the joy, the nerves, and everything in between. The result is wedding photography that’s natural, fun, and rooted in real human connection.
I don’t believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in the effort it takes to build something real over time. And that that kind of love is always worth celebrating.
Style & Approach
Wedding photography, for me, is about telling the story honestly, without overcomplicating things. I’m laid back and approachable, which means I blend in easily and capture the day as it naturally unfolds. Real moments, real emotion, real joy. Group shots and couple portraits are always relaxed and unforced, no awkward, corny poses that don’t feel like you. I’ll give gentle direction when needed and make fun of those who don't listen, but the aim is always to let you be yourselves.
I love documenting the flow of a wedding day, and taking an easy-going approach helps balance out the inevitable chaos. I’m non-intrusive by nature, and aside from a few key moments, like group photos or a quick sunset wander, I focus on capturing what’s happening in front of me. After all, there’s a lot going on, and that’s where the magic lives.
Photographing your nearest and dearest matters, so I’m more than happy to take some group shots, but I keep things efficient. No one wants to be pulled away from the party for too long. A bit of organisation is good, but let’s not forget it’s a celebration, not a photoshoot.
I’ll always take a few minutes with my couples to create something meaningful, quiet moments on a busy day. My approach is mostly hands-off; I’m not going to ask anyone to redo something again and again for the sake of a shot. I’ll step in only when it truly adds something, like when the sky turns orange and it’s too good to ignore. Otherwise, it’s laughter, tears, questionable dance moves, and you doing you. That’s where the real moments are.
To put it straight, I want you to have your day the way you want it. If you're looking for someone who can laugh at you, laugh at themselves and still make lifelong friends with your granny by the end of the day, then count me in.
Meet Josh
Josh is my associate photographer. He shoots the weddings I can't and more! We've worked various things together over the years together and he's been one of my second photographers for a number of years.
His journey began in 2012 when he created a Facebook page to share his work with family and friends. Diving straight into the deep end, he photographed his first wedding in 2016 at just 19 years old. Since then, he’s been capturing life’s moments professionally for around 10 years, loving every second of it.
When he’s not behind the camera, he and his wife Amy head off in their Tentbox and escape to the hills. They share a love for travel, with adventures taking them as far as Cape Town and Marrakesh. When they’re not exploring or travelling, they enjoy spending quality time with family and friends and binge watching Netflix together.
