Award winning photography created for you On the Beautiful Isle of Arran. Shot in the stunning landscape, on the beach in your venue or wherever you choose to wed. Booking in advance required.

You’re probably overwhelmed with all the wedding information out there, but don’t worry - you’re not alone.

As a seasoned professional, I’m here to help you document one of the biggest days of your life so you have beautiful memories for years and years to come.

I too, live on Arran Island, so I’ll already be here when you arrive, and I know some of the secrets of the island which will make your photos so much more special.

Let's talk and get excited for your big day!

To a life of love and happiness

What if you worked with a wedding photographer who gets you--someone who doesn’t just snap photos but captures the raw, real, unscripted moments that tell the story of your day.

 

Think about a collection of images that feels like you: bold, modern, and authentic.

 

Shots that go beyond traditional poses, capturing the laughter, the happy tears, and those fleeting glances you’ll want to remember forever.

 

This isn’t about picture-perfect; it’s about perfect moments.

Imagine looking back at these photos and feeling everything all over again. You’re not just creating wedding photos; you’re building a legacy that’s vivid, unforgettable, and uniquely yours.

 

After the celebrations have finished, along with each other, your photos will be your lasting love letter to this day--a bold, beautiful reminder of the beginning of your story together.

Hi, I'm Ursula,

I’m Ursula, a professional photographer specialising in portraits - and also a wedding photographer, capturing love stories with honesty, warmth and heart.

Click here to view my portrait shoots.

I feel incredibly fortunate to work with such amazing clients and share their stories through images.

I’ve been taking portraits for nearly 30 years and reside on the beautiful Isle of Arran. Every day offers a new opportunity to capture the beauty around me, whether it’s a stunning sunrise on the beach or a candid moment with my beloved collie dog, Billy-Beau.

After completing my degree in photography at Nottingham Trent University in 1997, I began shooting portraits and weddings for friends and family to build my portfolio. In 2000, I launched my own business, which went on to win numerous awards.

In March 2021, I followed my heart and moved to Arran with my partner Jim (who makes beautiful videos) and our two children, Sonny and Poppy.

Though the journey has been challenging, the reward has been much greater, and I couldn’t be happier with where my life and business have taken me.

I now get to work in this magical place and call it my home. If you’ve chosen to holiday, live, or marry here, I know you already understand just how special Arran is.

I invite you to let me create stunning images of the people, love, and moments that matter most to you.

Let's Make It Happen…

What sets my work apart is not just my technical skills but my people skills for putting people at ease (even though I have a camera in hand!). I believe in creating a comfortable atmosphere, understanding when to direct gently and when to let the narrative unfold naturally.

This balance results in a collection of images that tell a story – your story – filled with personality, style and emotion.

Wow Ursula, we are absolutely obsessed!! You are incredibly talented. There are so many belters x

Insider Knowledge: As a local photographer, I know the best spots and hidden gems in the area—the perfect backdrops that bring out the beauty of your venue. I also understand the unique lighting around here, so we can capture incredible shots at just the right time of day.

 

Authentic Storytelling: I don’t just take photos; I get to know you and your style, so your photos reflect your love story, not some generic poses. Together, we’ll capture moments that feel genuine and timeless—images that are all about you.

 

A Smooth, Stress-Free Experience: With me behind the camera, you won’t need to worry about a thing. I’ll guide you through everything, making sure all the key moments are captured beautifully, so you can relax and fully enjoy your day.

 

High-Quality, Lasting Images: I use professional-grade equipment and bring years of experience to every shot. After careful editing, you’ll get high-quality, stunning photos that are ready to be framed, shared, and loved for a lifetime.

 

A Personal Connection: By working with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re building a local connection. I’m here to support you through this special day, and hopefully, I’ll be someone you can reach out to for other milestones in the future.
