About

Hi there! It's Simon. :) My wife and I have two boys, and I love creating joyful family memories. I'm happiest in the Skye mountains or when I'm out on adventures with my camera. I've been a firefighter, crewed a lifeboat, and am an HM Coastguard Rescue Officer in North Skye.
My artistic photography has been well-published internationally and focuses on using the historic wet plate collodion process, invented in 1851.
I'm just finishing making my second feature-length documentary, so it's time to open the books to new clients here in Skye for weddings and elopement photography.
You'll find me to be relaxed, friendly, creative and trustworthy.
I was recently featured on BBC Scotland Landward and previously on BBC Creatives.

Skye Wedding Photographer is a wedding business in Portree, Isle of Skye.

Quiraing Vow Renewal

So incredibly happy with our vow renewal pictures! Simon was very responsive throughout the planning process and even helped us with picking a location. This was our first time to the Quiraing, and Simon made sure that we had the perfect spot (great views and away from tourists). It was quite windy on that day so he suggested a second location to get even more beautiful photos. We were so happy that we did. Our backdrop was on top of the Quiraing AND along the black beaches of Staffin. He used a drone, too, which helped capture all of the beautiful landscape. This was once one in a lifetime event for us and Simon captured it perfectly!
