Aela Photography

I’m Kay — a Bellshill-based wedding photographer who believes the best wedding photos come from presence, not performance. Rooted between Motherwell, Glasgow and Edinburgh, I specialise in wedding photography across Scotland, capturing honest, heartfelt moments from elopements in the woodlands to intimate city ceremonies. My work focuses on preserving how your day felt: the quiet glances, the spontaneous laughter and the little in-between moments that become your family’s visual heirlooms. Why choose Aela Photography? I approach each wedding with a calm, unobtrusive energy so couples can be themselves. As a specialist in wedding photography, I prioritise connection over posed perfection — gently guiding you when it helps and otherwise stepping back to document your story as it unfolds. That balance creates natural, timeless images that feel personal and real, whether we’re wandering a misty Highland ridge or pausing beneath a city bridge. How I work with you: our relationship starts with a relaxed conversation where I listen to your plans and what matters most. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple receives focused attention and creative care. From our first chat through to the delivery of your final gallery, I aim to make the process calm, clear and joyful. You’ll receive thoughtfully edited, professional wedding photos that highlight atmosphere, emotion and the details you’ll want to revisit again and again. Engagement and adventure sessions are also part of how I help couples feel comfortable in front of the camera — a quiet way to get to know how I shoot before your wedding day. These sessions are ideal for relaxed portraits and make-for-great images to display alongside your wedding story. Photography is more than a job for me — it’s a privilege to witness and document meaningful days. Whether you’re planning a large celebration, an intimate ceremony, or an adventurous elopement, I’ll bring a steady presence, an eye for light and a commitment to storytelling. If you value warm, candid imagery and a photographer who treats your wedding with care and intention, I’d love to hear about your plans in Bellshill and across Scotland.
