elopements – weddings – couples
Scotsman, musician, rock-climber, Border Collie Dad.
Inspired by cinematography, classic and contemporary art, music, nature and good humans!
After studying photography and film in Edinburgh I started my journey as an editorial photographer and for a few years I covered some wild and varied feature assignments. It was an incredible start for a young photographer and I carry those lessons about storytelling into my wedding work today.
I then quickly fell in love with the creative freedom of elopements and weddings and have now been working with loved up couples, documenting, laughing and running around all over Scotland, UK and further into Europe for over 15 years.
I work, play, create and breathe well when I m in the wild rugged mountains but love the variety of new destinations and sights. From laid back Weddings in Europe to Dramatic Scottish Elopements between the hills.
I live just South of Edinburgh with my partner Justyna who is also a photographer and film maker and as well as shooting her own work, she has worked alongside me at weddings and elopements for the past 10 years, we make a solid wee team.
We are both keen rock-climbers, hikers and snowboarders and spend as much time as we can immersed in nature in our camper van with our quirky wee dog ‘Molly’, who always tags along for the ride. We also love good movie marathons, live music, city breaks, hot Sun and cool beers!
Your Experience
Im privileged enough to have photographed over 700 weddings & elopements and in this time Ive learned a lot about life, love and people! Ive worked hard on my craft, to learn the language of couples and the art of weddings and elopements. I now tap into this knowledge to guide couples to having a unique and enjoyable wedding or elopement experience, wherever in the World that might be!
I collaborate with couples from all backgrounds and ethnicities, Im a LGBTQIA+ ally and always endeavour to create a safe space for individuals to be and to express themselves.
All love is welcome here.
‘Wildest expectations’
It’s just not possible to put into words how wonderful, talented, and easy to work with Sean is. He captured every moment of our elopement day so perfectly and honestly, and helped us plan our trip every step of the way. He and his partner Justyna went above and beyond to help us out, stepping in to make a bouquet and boutonniere just days before our elopement when our original flower plans fell through. To top it all off, Sean is a complete joy to be around. Cannot recommend enough. If you’re lucky enough to snag him for your special day, you’ll be glad you did for the rest of your life. Thanks a million for exceeding our wildest expectations, Sean. – Cat and Brad
