About Cara

Hello again! Here I am with my beautiful family on our wedding day! I live in Troon with my husband, Phil and my step daughter, Eve. Whenever I’m not at weddings, the three of us are getting up to some silly nonsense. I’ve lived in Ayrshire all my life and we’re truly spoiled with so many stunning wedding venues so close to home!

I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and I’ve been lucky enough to have this as my full time job since 2018. A dream come true!

I didn’t do very well at school, I took all the wrong things but I’ve always been creative and a bit of an observer, so I love bringing this out in my photography. I’m quite often lurking behind a corner, shooting through bushes, trees, mirrors and windows at some point during a wedding day! I promise it all makes sense when you get your photos back. If I have the chance to get a little bit more creative or offer you a different perspective without ruining the photo, I will!

I’ve always appreciated the value of photography and fleeting moments during a wedding day but this has only been heightened since I got married myself in 2023. It really is the quickest day of your life with so much emotion! Don’t sweat the small stuff and try not to worry about the weather or things you can’t control. What makes the best photos is you and your loved ones having the best time - you can’t replicate the happiness and those natural facial expressions.

I’ve worked at a whole range of venues in my 10+ years so far, from farms to castles, hotels, city centre weddings to country estates. I’ve also worked in all sorts of weather conditions… including flooding!! But we still made it work. I’m grateful and excited for all the experience I can give to you on your wedding day.

In my spare time you’ll quite often find me at the gym, gaming on the Xbox, walking around Troon with a coffee in hand or planning my next holiday. We love to travel both here in the UK and abroad. Some of our favourite holidays so far have been to the Algarve in Portugal, Puglia in Southern Italy, Dubrovnik in Croatia and the North West Highlands of Scotland!

I don’t think we can quite find the words to express how wonderful you are Cara!
