Fantastic couple made us feel so welcome and my daughter who hates pictures was so at ease. Pictures were amazing so pleased we got black and white. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a photographer.

Fantastic wedding photography. We are a little way out of Edinburgh in Fife and we saw their exhibition at a wedding fayre and had to have the steel book album on display. Travelling half way to meet us wasn't a problem when it came to the planning stage and the wedding day was relaxed and blessed with beautiful autumn weather. The photographs have turned out amazing and our album sits proudly on the coffee table. Thank you for an amazing service.

Lovely friendly couple to work with. I especially loved how attentive they were to making sure my dress was sitting right throughout. Photos are beautiful and made our wedding look very glamorous even as a lockdown wedding. Thank you so much!

Exactly what we were looking for: great at getting people organised when we needed them to, and gave everyone plenty of space the rest of the time. Photos and album design are excellent, and their cat is adorable! They're particularly good at catching photos when people are relaxed and happy, rather than forcing people to pose at awkward moments.

I first met Alistair and Rose at my sisters wedding and I always knew if I was to get married, there would be no one else that I would choose. They are both so lovely and friendly and professional. We had such a great day with them and our photographs are just stunning. I can't stop looking at them. I would recommend them to everyone! They are the best!
