ORKNEY WEDDING & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

 

PhotoGraphy That REminds you how it felt

From the excitement of your wedding to the laughter of family life and the loving moments in between, photography allows us to hold on to memories and preserve them. I'm Bethan, an Orkney wedding and family photographer. My approach is relaxed, and rooted in connection and my creative eye is always hunting for small details and hidden moments to preserve in artistic light.


Drawing on a lifelong passion for creativity, I create natural and artistic images that feel timeless and full of emotion. My style is cinematic yet comfortable, blending thoughtful composition with candid moments to create photographs that are both beautiful and deeply personal.


From wedding celebrations and growing families to the everyday connections that matter most, my goal is simple: to create images that help you relive the people, places, and moments you never want to forget. Based in Orkney and available across the islands, I would be honoured to help tell your story.

Connection & Artistry

THE VALUES THAT DRIVE ME

Connection and artistry are the values at the heart of everything I do. I believe that meaningful photographs come from genuine relationships, the natural moments, and a creative eye that sees beauty in the details. My style is cinematic, comfortable and candid, combining raw emotion with thoughtful composition to create images that feel timeless and personal.

Frequently asked questions

01. DO YOU OFFER BESPOKE WEDDING PACKAGES?

Absolutely. My wedding and family collections are designed around the most common requirements, but they won't suit everyone. If you need something a little different, I can create bespoke coverage based on the time, location and photography you need. Bespoke photography is priced from £150 per hour.

 

02. WHAT IF WE feel awkward IN FRONT OF A CAMERA?

 

That is completely normal and I understand. You don't need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands! My approach is relaxed and low-pressure, with gentle guidance when you need it and plenty of space for genuine moments to happen naturally.

 

03. How do you handle family photos on the wedding day?

 

I’ll work with you before the wedding to create a list of the family and group photographs that matter most. On the day, I’ll usually rope in a groomsman and bridesmaid to help find everyone and get them done smoothly, without keeping you away from your celebrations for too long.

 

04. HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?

 

For weddings, I recommend getting in touch as soon as you have your date confirmed, particularly for popular summer dates. Family sessions can usually be booked with much less notice, although availability will vary throughout the year.

"Bethan was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. The photos were fantastic and she was so approachable the whole time. She made sure she knew exactly what we wanted and that we were happy the whole way through the process. Cannot recommend her enough."
