Hi, I’m Jade.
I’m a wedding photographer based in Aberdeen, documenting weddings across Scotland for people who care more about connection than perfection.
I live with my husband and our miniature dachshund, Phoebe, who is 100% queen of the house and fully aware of it. Outside of photography, I’m usually happiest near the beach, listening to Taylor Swift, adding to our vinyl collection, or rewatching a mockumentary for the hundredth time. If it’s cosy, comforting, funny, or has a great soundtrack, I’m probably into it.
I think the best photos usually come from people feeling comfortable enough to properly be themselves.
I’m drawn to the little things - beautiful light, a twinkle in someone’s eye, mischievous smiles, inside jokes, and those proper uncontrollable laughs that sound just a tiny bit evil. The kind where somebody snorts, folds in half, or has to wipe tears away afterwards.
I love the photos that feel like real memories rather than perfect performances. The ones that remind you exactly what someone felt like to be around.
That’s probably why relationships and connection matter so much to me, both in life and in photography. Some of my best friends have been in my life since primary school, and now we’re all in our 30s still showing up for each other through weddings, babies, breakups, hangovers, career changes, and everything in between.
Photography has given me another whole community too. Some of my closest friendships have come from this job, and I genuinely think that’s one of the loveliest parts of this industry. There’s something really special about finding people who understand the chaos of wedding season, the excitement of creating something you’re proud of, and why we all get emotional over good light.
I’ve also been lucky enough to be a finalist at the Top Tier Awards, which means a lot to me because the votes come entirely from real couples. Wedding photography is such a ridiculously talented and competitive industry that even making finalist level genuinely feels like a massive win!
Before weddings, I photographed concerts all over the UK, which probably explains why I’m so drawn to atmosphere, movement, emotion, and people completely lost in a moment. I still approach weddings in a really similar way - quietly observing things as they unfold and documenting the energy of the day as naturally as possible.
On a wedding day, I’m there for all of it - the emotional hugs, the loud pals, the nervous energy in the morning, somebody’s granny fixing a buttonhole, the chaos, the calm, and all the tiny little moments that would otherwise disappear.
At the end of the day, I want your photos to feel honest. I want them to bring you back to the people, atmosphere, and emotions of a moment years down the line - not just what everything looked like, but what it all felt like.
