From the day we had our initial meeting with Dougi in Edinburgh to the actual big day, Dougi's warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, making our wedding day even more special. Dougi always made us comfortable to trust his process and his ideas which all translated amazingly. His ability to blend seamlessly with our guests and capture authentic moments was truly impressive. From the very beginning of the day’s activities, the heartfelt exchange of vows at the ceremony, the festive and lively drinks reception, to the unforgettable speeches and joyful dance floor, he truly captured the essence of our celebration.
The stunning photographs with the backdrop of the historic Balmoral Hotel, with its grandeur and elegance, perfectly complemented the beauty of our wedding day. The album he created is a timeless treasure, filled with memories that will be cherished for generations.
We are eternally grateful to Dougi for his talent, professionalism, and dedication. His work has exceeded our expectations and provided us with a beautiful visual record of our special day. We wholeheartedly recommend Dougi to any couple seeking a photographer who will capture the magic of their wedding day.

Dougi was an absolute delight to have for our wedding day! From booking to our pre wedding shoot and then to the actual day Dougi was so professional so friendly and the quality of his work is unmatched! We are absolutely obsessed with our photos! Everyone commented on the day how great he was too! We booked Doug 2 years in advance and unlike other suppliers Dougi kept in touch with us so we knew we were not forgotten about! Nothing was too much trouble on the pre wedding shoot or on the wedding day anything we asked for Dougi made it happen. We received 10 photos less than 24 hours after the wedding and then all of our photos only 3 weeks after the wedding! If you’re looking for a photographer for your special day look no further than Dougi! Get him booked!

My husband and I found Dougi’s portfolio of wedding photography in our search and we knew immediately that we had found our photographer. Dougi perfectly captured the candid, relaxed feeling we were hoping for. He really has an incredible eye for capturing moments. Dougi was such a joy to work with through every step of the process, from our first zoom meeting to receiving our gallery of photos. His great communication and support, flexibility and chill vibe put us right at ease. Thomas and I couldn’t be happier with our photos! And all of our friends and family have been complimenting them as well. We’re only sad that our time working with Dougi is over.

Dougi is an incredible photographer.
He captured our day perfectly, exactly what we wanted. He went above and beyond on our wedding day and on the build up to our wedding. He is such a friendly, easy going guy with the ability to ease a crowd… and get them going! We couldn’t be happier with our photos, they were ready after a week - which was a very pleasant surprise and would recommend Dougi to everyone! Thank you so sooo much Dougi. You are an absolute star.

Dougi has been amazing from the start. He put us at ease and has been really easy to work with. He has been very professional and our wedding photos look fantastic!

Look no further on your hunt for a photographer. Dougi was undoubtedly the best decision we made for our day. He is a professional through and through, but he'll feel like a friend. He made us and every one of our guests feel at ease and captured every emotion from the day. Book him and trust him. We promise you will be so happy you did.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Dougi!

Dougi! Absolute legend - he blended in with the crowd and was the perfect photographer for our wedding as we're very much a relaxed laid back couple! He takes pride in his work, especially when it comes to getting the right shot!

Dougi was fantastic from the start! Very prompt and informative with his communications before the wedding. We were living in New Zealand, so arranged a zoom chat with him and he made us instantly feel at ease with his kindness and professionalism. The pre-wedding photo shoot was so much fun, and great for us to meet Dougi in person! He tailors his photos to the couple, and always makes sure that the family are at ease with him around and enjoying themselves. The photos are absolutely fantastic, he has managed to capture the joy and love of the day! The ceilidh dancing was pretty intense, but Dougi was in the midst of it, and captured some hilarious moments of the guests dancing away! I would highly recommend Dougi; he is fantastic at what he does and will always be respectful of what the couple wants. Thanks, Dougi, for capturing our special day so well :)

Dougi was very professional, funny, down to earth, and amazing photographer. He not only was very patient with all my guest but with us. He took in our comments and concerns and made us feel really comfortable with him. Just from the sneak pictures I am blown away by his work.

Dougi was amazing from our initial enquirie to our wedding day, he’s so lovely to deal with making sure he covers everything you want, all our photos are amazing and a lot of our guests that he was fab too

Dougi made us feel so calm and relaxed, we both don’t like being in the spotlight and requested to have more natural photographs rather than staged/posing. We are over the moon with our photos, he was the perfect photographer for us!

Having previous knowledge of Dougi, we knew instantly that he was the man for the job. His laid back, fun but fully professional approach was the perfect fit for us. We liked his candid and artistic style and preferred this method to anything too formal.

On our day he arrived early in order that he could assess the location/venue and the possible photo opportunities. (Who knows what goes on in his creative mind?!) He had his work cut out obtaining flattering shots when we were getting ready – especially 2 brides!

Throughout the day, he was like the invisible ninja, discreetly capturing every precious moment – from a glance at each other, to a locking of fingers – he captured it all.

He saw a photo opportunity in the most bizarre setting and made it work. For instance
1. Dancing in the middle of the road.

2. Getting caught in the rain and sheltering under a tree. Then sending out an SOS for umbrellas – resulting in pictures with a rainbow umbrella as we traipsed back to the hotel to greet our celebration guests.

He mingled with our family and friends, snapped away and gave us the chance to see the love and happiness that everyone felt on the day.

We highly recommend Dougi, we have the most beautiful wedding memories (with a quick turn-a-round) to cherish. Do not hesitate or he will be snapped up for your chosen date.

Where to start?! We cannot thank Dougi enough for our beautiful wedding photos! From the first conversation we had with Dougi he was the utmost professional gentleman! He put us at ease during our pre-wedding shoot and we loved his relaxed and fun approach to the photography!
On the wedding day our friends and family loved him too! My aunt said “he was everywhere and nowhere” meaning he had captured the whole day perfectly and you didn’t even realise he was there!!
We love love love our photographs and can’t stop looking at them! There are so many special memories captured!
Dougi was also extremely efficient with getting the photos to us, we had 4 the day after our wedding and the full album less than 3 weeks later - which I think is amazing!
Dougi also kept in touch in the lead up to the wedding and his communication was continuously excellent!
We would recommend Dougi to anyone getting married or to capture any special event!

I didn’t think it was possible for pictures to capture the magic of our day but somehow Dougi nailed it. He captured the story of our day amazingly and was so patient with us even when we had to put a stop to things to calm our very unsettled wee boy after him waking up from his nap. Couldn’t have asked for better pictures and Dougi just blended into the background but was very good at direction when need be. Would have him again in a heart beat if we were to do it again!

We are so glad that we booked Dougi for our wedding photos. From the initial contact onwards, he was really helpful and responsive to our enquiries, but also kept in touch with us proactively until the big day arrived. He is incredibly warm, easy to work with, flexible and creative. Dougi put us and all of our guests at ease, and let things happen naturally. We loved the initial shots we received the morning after the wedding and were delighted and surprised to get the link to the full gallery album less than a week later! There are loads of fabulous photos and we’ll treasure them forever. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dougi, and we hope to see him at another wedding in the future!
