Loch Lomond and Scotland Wedding Photographer
Natural and Authentic Photography of Scottish Weddings
I’m Paul Saunders, a professional wedding photographer based at Loch Lomond, photographing weddings across Scotland, including Glasgow, Stirling, Falkirk, the Trossachs and beyond.
I specialise in natural, candid wedding photography for couples who want their day captured honestly, without awkward posing or constant interruption.
On this page, you’ll find an overview of how I work, answers to common questions, and practical guidance for planning a wedding in Scotland. If you’d like to check availability or talk through your plans, there’s an easy way to get in touch below.
Candid Wedding Photography
My wedding photography is storytelling-led, focusing on real moments as the day unfolds.
Your photographs will include the people, details and atmosphere that make your wedding yours. The quiet nerves before the ceremony, the reactions during the vows, the laughter, the tears, the hugs, the speeches, and the moments you may not even realise are happening at the time.
I combine relaxed portraits with candid photography, stepping in gently when needed and staying unobtrusive for the rest of the day. This allows the wedding to flow naturally and gives you time to enjoy being with your guests.
The result is a collection of honest, emotional images that reflect how your wedding day actually felt.

Planning a Wedding in Scotland
If you’re planning a wedding in Scotland, I hope this guide is helpful. I’ve photographed weddings of all sizes across the country, from small elopements to large venue celebrations, and this section draws on that experience.
No two weddings are the same. While there are familiar moments across most wedding days, Scotland offers enormous flexibility in how and where you get married. From outdoor ceremonies to relaxed, informal celebrations, it’s a place where couples can create a truly personal day.
Below are a few practical considerations drawn from my experience photographing Scottish weddings.
Are you getting married outdoors?
Outdoor ceremonies are extremely popular in Scotland, particularly in places like Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, where the scenery plays a significant role in the day.
Many wedding venues offer beautiful outdoor spaces, often with nearby indoor or covered options in case the weather changes. Based at Loch Lomond, I regularly photograph lochside weddings and outdoor ceremonies and am happy to advise on locations, light and timing.
I cover a range of wedding venue options in my guide to getting married in Loch Lomond, and I’m also happy to suggest ideas and locations elsewhere in Scotland.
Budgeting and saving money on your wedding
Few weddings have unlimited budgets. Over the years, I’ve seen many couples create meaningful, memorable weddings without unnecessary expense.
My article on saving money on your Scottish wedding explores simple, practical ways to prioritise what matters most and reduce costs without losing the magic of the day.
Planning a small wedding or elopement in Scotland
Small weddings and elopements are increasingly popular, and Scotland is an ideal place for them.
I regularly photograph intimate weddings with just a handful of guests, and many couples choose Loch Lomond or other scenic parts of Scotland for their elopement. Smaller celebrations often allow for a slower pace, more flexibility, and a very personal experience, which I love to photograph.
Choosing wedding suppliers in Scotland
Scotland is home to many brilliant independent wedding suppliers who genuinely care about creating memorable, well-run weddings.
When choosing suppliers, I always recommend carefully reading Google reviews. The wording of reviews often tells you far more than star ratings alone and gives real insight into how people work on the day.
Planning wedding timings
If you’re working with a wedding planner or an experienced venue team, they’ll help guide your timings. Many couples also ask me for advice, particularly around photography and light, which I’m always happy to provide.
The time of year is crucial in Scotland. Shorter daylight hours in autumn and winter can influence ceremony timings, while longer summer evenings offer more flexibility.
The most important thing is allowing enough time to enjoy your day, spend time with your guests, and not feel rushed.
Scottish wedding rules and traditions
There are many Scottish wedding traditions you may choose to include, but none of them are compulsory.
Beyond the legal requirements, there is no right or wrong way to get married in Scotland. Your wedding should reflect who you are as a couple and be a memorable, enjoyable day for you and the people you share it with.
