Scotland Wedding Photographer

Natural, Documentary Wedding Photography with an Editorial Feel

Your wedding. Your people. Your story.

Hi, I'm Mark, owner of Luxe Wedding Photography!

I'm based in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, and I'm a wedding photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing weddings and people. I'm originally from Neath, Wales, where I started my photography journey before making the move to Scotland.


My philosophy is pretty simple.


I want you to enjoy every moment of your wedding day while I capture everything that makes it special and uniquely yours.


You won't spend hours being pulled away from your loved ones for endless posed shots, and you won't feel like you're constantly being directed about where to stand or how to position yourself.


Instead, I capture your wedding as it naturally unfolds.

The butterflies and anticipation as you get ready.


That magical first moment when your partner sees you.

Your parents getting a little emotional.


Laughter ringing out during the speeches.

The hugs, toasts, joyful chaos, and uninhibited dancing.


And those special, fleeting moments happening around you—the ones you might miss while you're living them.


Those are the memories I'm here to preserve for you.

Mark – Professional Wedding Photographer serving Aberdeenshire & beyond



I relocated from South Wales to Fraserburgh five years ago and have developed a deep appreciation for Scotland's landscapes and culture.

This location offers access to exceptional venues and natural settings for photography.

From pristine beaches and dramatic coastlines to Highland landscapes, historic castles, and country estates, Scotland provides extensive opportunities to create distinctive photographs for each couple.

With over 10 years of professional photography experience, I've photographed weddings for clients from diverse backgrounds.

Wedding photography is my primary expertise.

I help couples uncomfortable in front of the camera feel at ease so I can capture genuine, unguarded moments.

This results in authentic, high-quality photographs that reflect your day's true character.

I go beyond capturing images.

I guide on timing, coordinate portraits throughout your day, and ensure you have time to relax and enjoy your wedding.

Wedding Photography That Feels Like Your Wedding, Not a Photoshoot


Documentary-style wedding photography with an editorial approach

I believe your wedding photographs should authentically reflect the look and feel of your actual wedding day.

My primary style is natural, documentary wedding photography—I spend your day observing and capturing genuine moments as they naturally unfold.

I also create beautifully composed portraits.

When the moment is right, I'll take you away briefly to craft something more editorial in style.

This is where I employ off-camera flash and creative lighting to produce portraits with greater atmosphere, depth, and visual impact.

You don't need posing experience.

You don't need modeling skills.

I'll guide you through every step.

My role is to help you feel at ease, find the best light, and create photographs that look stunning while remaining authentically you.

Your gallery becomes more than just a collection of candid moments.


It's a thoughtful blend of:


  • Genuine moments captured naturally.
  • Beautifully composed portraits.
  • Emotionally resonant photographs.
  • Creative lighting and composition.
  • The meaningful details.
  • The people who matter most.
  • The complete narrative of your day.
