Hi Friend!
I'm Caitlin
I'm so glad you are here. If you are in the depths of planning your wedding I am so excited for you. I can't wait to learn all about what you’re dreaming up but first - you might be wanting to know a little about me and my offerings.
Let me tell you a few things about myself: I am a wild little heart. Lover of the outdoors, contemporary poetry, pottery and animals. I've been living in the UK since 2014 but I was born and raised in Australia. Once I moved to Scotland I fell in love with the the way the mountains kiss the sky, the way the seasons hold the calendar for you, and the quiet winding roads that stretch on forever.
I am a mama to one beautiful child and she is everything. Motherhood has been the most magical experience of my life.
I've had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember. I have always been obsessed with capturing memories in meaningful ways. In ways that create feeling, longing, experience. I feel like life goes so fast - children grow, people age, life will come together and fall apart and rearrange over and over again and the question has always been how do I hold on to it? How do I get a window back to that time? - and for me, photography is the answer.
This means when I work with you it will be about capturing your day with a knowledge and sensitivity for who you are and what your relationship is. I will tell your story authentically and beautifully.
My Approach.
Candid,
Emotive
& Warm.
I like to refer to myself as soft-hearted. I am sentimental and feelings-based and my work reflects that. I look for the moments of true and honest connection, love, tenderness and turn those little moments into art. I believe so deeply in creating work that genuinely reflects who you are and the way you are together that the experience of working with me is completely focused on you being together - candid, unscripted, at ease. I like to create an environment where you can move freely, chat, laugh, be yourselves.
I give you a little prompting (walk over here, talk about ____) but nothing is more beautiful than witnessing love simply as it arises.
My goal is to make you feel safe and free and joyful.
My goal is for you to walk away feeling like you've just had the most amazing day.

We're in! So what's next?
- First step is to organise an initial consultation. It's really just a a fun chat to get to know each other, your plans for the day and chat about how I can help bring all your ideas to life. I like to really get to know my couples and their stories so this is the first step in that.
- Then it's time to book in! I'll send you over a contract and the retainer which is 25% of the total booking fee. After that, you're all set!
- Time to get your elopement guide and any extra support from me! From finding perfect-fit vendors to that special spot for your ceremony to creating a timeline - If you need a hand, you can have mine!
- In the lead up to your big day we'll set aside some time to chat again to go over the finer details of your day and make sure I have all the information I need to make your day look (and feel) incredible start to finish!
FAQ
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am Glasgow based but happy to travel anywhere in the UK!
When will we get our photos?
I always aim to have your images with you as quickly as possible while still taking the care and attention required to make them beautiful and consistent with my work. I'll send you a small sneak peek within the week following your nuptials but your full gallery may take up to ten weeks.
What happens if you get sick?
Don't worry... I don't get sick. Or... at least, I've not had to ask for cover yet! But in the case that I do need to find cover I am apart of a wonderful and talented community of photographers who would be eager to help out. And of course, I would still do all the editing so your images will still have the same feel about them.
Covid-19?
It looks like we are out of the woods but if these last few years have taught us anything it's always be prepared. My policy on Covid-19 or any other random global event is if your wedding gets postponed due to circumstances outside of your control I am happy to move your deposit over and wherever possible I will make myself available for your reallocated date. If I am not available I will send over a trusted photographer to take my place and edit your images to keep the same style!
