Based in Dumfries, Jack Makin captures relaxed, documentary-style wedding photography and cinematic films across the UK. A laid-back, authentic approach that keeps your day real and joyful.
Hi — I’m Jack, the founder of Creek & Country Wedding Photography & Film, based in Dumfries. I specialise in wedding photography and cinematic wedding films for couples who want their day to feel real, not staged. If you care more about connection than posed perfection, my approach will suit you: relaxed, documentary-led, and focused on capturing the honest emotions that make your day uniquely yours. Why choose Creek & Country? I bring a storyteller’s eye and an outdoor-lover’s sensibility to every wedding. I’m happiest shooting in wild places and peaceful venues alike — from countryside elopements to big celebrations across the UK. My work aims to preserve atmosphere and feeling rather than orchestrate moments; you won’t find awkward posing or stiff direction. Instead, I focus on blending into the day, creating a calm, friendly presence that helps guests relax and genuine moments to unfold naturally. I’m equally passionate about film. My wedding films are crafted to be cinematic and sincere: evocative highlights that let you relive the tone of the day and quieter sequences that honour the small, intimate moments. Working as both photographer and filmmaker means I treat visuals and story as one, making sure your photos and film feel consistent and true to who you are. How I work with couples is simple and people-first. We begin with an informal chat where I get to know you and what matters most. On the day I aim to be unobtrusive, fun, and attentive — documenting the laughter, tears, and everything in between. Afterwards I carefully craft your images and film to reflect the atmosphere you lived, delivering a gallery and highlights that let you share and relive the day with family and friends. Rooted in honest storytelling, Creek & Country is about more than pretty pictures: it’s about recording the heart of your wedding so you can remember how it felt. If you’re planning a wedding or an intimate elopement and want a laid-back, experienced Dumfries-based wedding photographer and filmmaker, I’d love to hear about your plans and help tell your story.
