"Joni is a gift. There are few in life who are sweeter than her. She has a heart of gold and her talent is a blessing.
She has a way with words and soft direction that just makes the whole experience of being photographed feel so relaxed and enjoyable. It was a joy to be photographed by Joni and the photos she has gifted us with are so special!"
All the little things you might not even notice that capture you as a couple. The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, goosebumps. There’s nothing more beautiful to me than the pure joy, excitement, and comfort of two people wildly in love.
We will get to know eachother from the moment you first reach out, allowing me to tell your story in a way that feels like you. For you to be able to look back at your photographs in months or years to come and they take you right back to that moment; the feelings you shared, the sounds and scents surrounding you and the memories that you created. I am here for you throughout the whole journey, from vendor recommendations, location scouting to helping plan your elopement or session.
My approach to all elopements and sessions is very relaxed. I offer direction, when its needed but generally my favourite thing is just allowing my couples to just be in the moment, however that looks for you. I adore connecting with my couples and it is such an honour to be invited in to each couples little worlds.
I am so grateful and excited that you would like to work together! If you fill out my contact form with all your beautiful plans or visions for your day, I always aim to respond within 24 hours (if for any reason you have not received a response, be sure to check your spam!).
I will send over my pricing guide and once you have decided on the package that is right for your day, It's just a case of signing a contract, booking form and a 50% deposit and you're all booked in!
Absolutely! I am down for any part of Scotland that you want to run away to, whether thats mainland or any of the Isles. All of my packages include my travel, so there are no added charges.
For elopements, intimate weddings and vow renewals - you will receive a sneak peek of your gallery within 1 week and your full gallery within 4-6 weeks and for couples sessions you will receive your gallery within 4 weeks.
I generally don't have a set amount that I deliver, however for all 4 hour elopements, intimate weddings and vow renewals you will receive a minimum of 250 photos and for couples session you will receive a minimum of 125. I truly believe in quality > quantity and will make sure to include all of the crucial and important photos of your day!
Of course!! Your gallery has an integrated shop for you to print your photos and create your own albums. All of my packages include something tangible for you to take away with you. I think it is so important to print your photos.
One of the many unpredictabilities of the Scottish weather is that there is a good chance it may rain. I honestly would say the best thing to do is embrace it! Don't be afraid to get a little wet and mucky. I will have goodies to keep you warm and dry you off afterwards!
Of course, I have full public and product liability and professional indemnity insurance! Keeping us all safe :)
I completely understand, sometimes life throws a curveball and things change.
I will always do my best to accommodate any rescheduling of dates. If I am unavailable for your new date, I am happy to offer a list of available trusted photographers in Scotland that could cover your date, where they would shoot your day and I would edit your photos. However, if you would be more comfortable cancelling and finding an alternative photographer yourself then depending on the date of cancelling I would require a cancellation fee of 35% of the booking. Please note all deposits are non-refundable.
