We couldn't have wished for any better!

Debbie was our photographer for our wedding in May 2023 and we could not be any more pleased with our decision to book Debbie! Debbie was so calm and efficient throughout the day; despite experiencing a punctured tyre on the way to the venue, she still arrived on time! When Debbie arrived she went straight to work capturing the small but important details to our day and helping assist the bridal party where needed.

Debbie has a real skill at being able to blend into the day well and organise photos calmly and with ease- we received so many compliments from guests around how likeable Debbie was. Debbie makes a huge effort to get to know the bridal/groom party's families/friends which made for huge success with the formal photos. Debbie was able to articulate who she needed for photos by their name which made the formal photo process quick.

We received our 'teaser' pictures 2 days after the wedding, and then our full edited album around 3 weeks later. We are over the moon with the photos and feel Debbie has captured the day so well- we have a great mix of formal photos as well as natural photos that show everyone's personalities. It's 2 months since we got married and we still find ourselves going through all the photos and enjoying them.

Debbie created a beautiful large wedding album along with 6 smaller albums for family. The quality of this is amazing, and we are so happy with the layout of the photos. We also received a USB with all our photos.

Debbie is a wonderful photographer who was an asset to our day - we could not have imagined any other photographer being there! Our two engaged sisters have since booked Debbie to photograph their own wedding as they were that impressed with her skill and professionalism on the day.

Thank you for everything Debbie!

I’m so happy with my photos!

I love my photos! Debbie was so professional and kind, kept track of exactly what photos I wanted and made it happen! She was flexible and accommodating even after we got a popped tire and couldn’t make it to a shoot location, she found a way to make it work for us! I would definitely recommend her to any bride that needs to build a good team of people to support her. I’m so pleased with my photos and am excited to get them framed and look at them for many years to come!

It was a joy to be photographed by Debbie!

Debbie was the perfect photographer for our wedding, she captured the feeling of the day so beautifully and naturally. We were both so nervous about having our photo taken before the big day, but we needn't have worried, as Debbie has a real talent and professionalism for couples who aren't used to having photos taken. It was a pleasure to have Debbie photograph such a happy family day and we'll treasure the photos forever, thank you so much Debbie.

We cannot say enough good things....

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Debbie. We traveled from the U.S. to be married in Glasgow, so finding a photographer we could count on from such a distance felt like a leap of faith. We first reached out to Debbie about 6 months prior to our wedding, then remained in contact with her via e-mail and Zoom. Throughout, Debbie was helpful and responsive. By the time we arrived in Glasgow, we knew we had made the right choice. On our wedding day, Debbie was fantastic - she worked hard to make sure our photos and our special day were unforgettable. She also surprised us with extras that made our great experience with her even better. Thank you Debbie!

Our wedding photographer April 2023

Debbie photographed our wedding at the Sherbrooke castle. She was amazing!
From the very first meeting with Debbie we both felt at ease and knew we had picked the right person for the job. Our engagement shoot was a great way to get to know Debbie and get used to having our photos taken. She was professional, friendly, calm, reassuring and captured so many amazing moments for us and our loved ones. Our guests commented on the fact that she seemed to be able to be everywhere capturing candid moments but no one was intimated by the camera. Our pictures are exactly what we hoped for and more. Couldn't recommend Debbie enough!

Debbie Is The Best!!!

My gosh, I cannot say enough about Debbie. She is so kind, sweet and she has quite an eye. She took two of the most camera-awkward introverted people and made them look AWESOME in photos!!!! My husband and I were so happy when we looked at the ones she took of our vow renewal that we teared up. Debbie captures the natural, beautiful moments without making it feel forced or intrusive. She was also willing to drive us to different desired locations, and even dropped us at Oban Distillery on her way to another photo shoot. Debbie, you were the right choice. We cannot thank you enough!

The best photographer we could have asked for.

There aren’t enough stars I can give Debbie as a rating, she was just faultless start to finish. We eloped just the 2 of us, and Debbie calmed my nerves all morning, orchestrated the nervous pacing groom and understood what we wanted without us having to even speak. She captured our vibe perfectly, and understood exactly how we wanted the day to be captured. The photos honestly took our breath away, nothing was too much. Debbie and her husband even drove us down to a nearby Loch we wanted to capture some photos at. Not only is Debbie an amazing photographer but she is always a genuinely lovely person. Really couldn’t recommend her enough!

Amazing from start to finish and great with dogs

Debbie was amazing from start to finish! We had our two dogs at the wedding and my husband hates having his photo taken so we started with challenge, but Debbie did an amazing job getting some beautiful photos of us, we even got photos we didn't know she hade taken it was like she was every where all at the same time! We have a number of guests complement us on how lovely and chatty she was with them though out the day and making them laugh, so we have some really natural photos that truly show off our day! I will full admit I was an intense bride but Debbie took it all in her stride even driving us to different locations to get the shots we wanted. She even drove us to the local farm so we could have photos taken with a Highland cow that we had hired for the event! Nothing was to much to ask and I really cant express how much easier Debbie made our day, not just with the photos but she always had what we needed when we needed it! And we got our photos back with in a week of having them taken and we love every single one of them! If we ever need photos taken in the area again we will definitely be using Debbie!
