ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE WEDDING AND NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Life moves so quickly, doesn’t it?

One minute you’re planning a wedding, full of excitement and nerves and big dreams. The next, you’re holding a tiny human in your arms wondering how time could possibly be moving this fast.

These are the moments that change you.
The moments that shape your family.
The moments you’ll one day tell stories about.

I don’t just take photographs. I hold space for what’s real;  the shaky breath before you walk down the aisle, the way your mum squeezes your hand, the tiny yawns, the curled toes, the overwhelming love you can’t quite put into words.

My approach is gentle, patient, and deeply personal. I guide when you need it, step back when it matters, and always look for the in-between, because that’s where the magic lives.

This isn’t about perfect.
It’s about meaningful.
It’s about legacy.

For now. For them. Forever.

Your story, photographed with intention 

Not every chapter is a wedding or a newborn.
Sometimes it’s a growing bump, gummy smiles, a beautiful family chaos  or the dog who runs the house.
Whatever season you’re in, I’m here to capture it with honesty and heart.

& EVERYTHING ELSE

The next chapter;
Tiny toes, full hearts, and the kind of love that changes everything.

NEWBORNS

Weddings captured with honesty and heart.
The real moments, the deep connection, the quiet in-between magic.
So you can relive your day exactly as it felt.

WEDDINGS

I'M SAMANTHA

An aberdeenshire photographer with a soft spot for love stories, tiny toes, and all things sentimental

Weddings and newborn days have always pulled at my heart. One is the chapter where your people gather round you, all in one place, cheering you on as you begin your forever. The other is the chapter where your family grows, where everything feels slower and heavier and more overwhelming in the most beautiful way. 
There is something so special about that contrast. Showing up, and Growing up. 

This isnt about perfect posing or ticking boxes. It's about the way it felt. The pride in your mums eyes. The shaky breath before "I do". The weight of your baby curled into you. The way love fills a room without anyone needing to say it out loud. 

Calm, organised, gently guided, but always warm. The aim is for you to feel completely seen. Completely comfortable. Like you've just spent time with a friend who happened to bring a camera along. 

Because these photographs aren't just for now. 

They're for the anniversaries. 
For the quiet evenings. 
For the children who'll one day ask what it was like. 

They're for legacy.

LOVE NOTE FROM TANYA & PAUL

The best decision we made when booking all of our wedding suppliers was choosing Samantha. From our very first Zoom call, to our pre wedding shoot then onto our amazing wedding day, Samantha made the whole process feel so easy and enjoyable when it could be quite a daunting process. The second you meet Samantha you feel like you have known her for years, so positive and easy going which just puts you at ease instantly! Throughout the whole day she was there for us, getting my bridal suite available early so I could get the best pictures, helping us get ready when time was flying so fast and just understanding our vision. Now we have our full gallery back and wow we are blown away. Incredible quality and so many to look through (the fact a second photographer is included means there were no parts of the day missed). 100% recommend to anyone still looking for their wedding photographer, you wont be disappointed!

LOVE NOTE FROM GEMMA AND PAUL

 I just wanted to say a huge WOW and thank you! We are incredibly grateful for how beautifully you captured our day. The photos are absolutely stunning and brought back all those happy wedding day emotions - I may have even shed a tear or two (hehe)!
From our engagement shoot to the lead-up and especially on the wedding day itself, you made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Your ability to capture the essence of the day was so effortless. We truly can't thank you enough. If only we could get married every year and have you as our photographer!

Sentimental aberdeenshire photographer with years of experience 

I'VE PHOTOGRAPHED 600+ STORIES

This isn’t just about turning up with a camera.

It’s about walking into one of the most important days of your life, or the most fragile, overwhelming, love-filled weeks, and feeling completely at ease.

Weddings are full of emotion. Newborn days are full of tenderness. Both deserve to be handled gently.

The experience is calm, organised, and thoughtfully guided, but never stiff or over-posed. There’s space to breathe. Space to feel. Space to just be in it. A quiet presence when needed, gentle reassurance when the nerves kick in, and someone who understands that these photographs aren’t just for today - they’re for years from now.

The right fit isn’t about trends or perfection. It’s about heart. It’s about wanting to remember how it felt. It’s about trusting that the moments that matter most will be seen and protected.

If you care about connection. If you value legacy. If you want photographs that feel like home…

Then this will feel right.
