Two photographers, one love story

We love learning about our lovely couples, so here’s your opportunity to know a little about us!

Some things are just meant to be—like us! Born in the same Edinburgh hospital (though a few years apart!), we first crossed paths nearly 30 years later… just a mile down the road. Fast forward through 20 years of marriage, three wonderful children, and one very energetic Hungarian Vizsla named Vinnie, and here we are—capturing love stories for a living.

But before we swapped suits for cameras, Claire was navigating the world of corporate banking at one of Europe’s biggest banks, and Jonathon was keeping the skies safe in the RAF before running a successful print and graphic design business in Edinburgh. Safe to say, we like a challenge!

The story behind the lens

Why did Jonathon and Claire dive headfirst into the world of wedding photography and videography? Well, like many great love stories, it started with a bit of disappointment. When they tied the knot, they had no clue what to look for in a photographer or videographer. They booked someone, trusted the process, and… let’s say, the results were not frame-worthy. The video? An 80-minute snooze-fest.

Luckily, Jonathon had studied music production at college, including video editing. Armed with those skills (and a desperate need to salvage their wedding memories), he transformed that painfully long video into something watchable. What was the reaction from friends and family? Surprisingly great. And that sparked a thought— Maybe I can do this…

One month later, the first pieces of camera gear arrived. One year later, Jonathon and Claire had filmed 20 weddings. And from that moment on, there was no turning back.

As Jonathon and Claire built their business, they worked alongside many budget photographers. They quickly understood why their own wedding memories had fallen flat—poor training, subpar equipment, and a severe lack of people skills. This experience shaped the foundation of their business, defining their core values: creativity, professionalism, customer satisfaction, and attention to detail. Their mission? To provide couples with timeless and cherished memories of their wedding day.

Fast-forward 20 years, and their commitment has paid off. Multiple finalists and winners at the Scottish Wedding Awards and Scottish Confetti Wedding Awards—including Photographer of the Year, Creative Photographer of the Year, and Best Videographer—Jonathon and Claire’s journey proves that the right mix of passion, experience, and a little creative problem-solving can turn a wedding day into a masterpiece.

Why we love what we do

There’s something pretty special about being surrounded by happy people week in and week out. Whether it’s the emotional vows, the hilarious best man’s speech, or the dance moves that really shouldn’t have made it past the first glass of champagne—we love it all.

Claire works her magic behind the scenes as our expert photo editor, blog writer, and social media guru. Jonathon is our drone pilot, video editor, and website creator. Together, we ensure every frame tells a story as unique as the couples we photograph and film.
