Dumfries-based wedding specialist Marc Godfree creates contemporary, natural wedding photos with a calm, relaxed and professional yet fun approach. Engagement sessions help couples feel at ease.
I’m Marc Godfree – a specialist wedding photographer based in Dumfries who has been privileged to photograph celebrations across the UK. My approach is simple: calm, relaxed, professional yet fun. I know weddings can be hectic, so I work to remove stress and let the day unfold naturally while ensuring the moments you’ll treasure are captured beautifully. Why choose me? I combine thoughtful photo‑journalism with gentle direction so you get real, honest emotion alongside composed, timeless images. My clients tell me I put them at ease quickly — whether it’s calming pre‑ceremony nerves, guiding a family shot, or disappearing into the background to record those unscripted, tear‑filled seconds. The result is contemporary, vibrant and natural wedding photos that feel fresh and true to your day. How I work with couples is important to me. From our first conversation I aim to build trust through regular contact, clear planning and a relaxed photo experience. Many couples choose an engagement or pre‑wedding session – a perfect icebreaker that helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and gives you a clear sense of how I work on the wedding day. On the day itself I blend unobtrusive documentary coverage with considered moments of direction so you receive a complete story of your wedding. Delivering the finished images is part of the experience I care about. I offer polished digital options and beautiful bespoke albums designed to tell the story of your day with the care it deserves. Wherever you are in the UK, I bring the same attention to detail and personal service – hand‑delivering albums where possible and supporting you every step of the way. Photography isn’t just my job – it’s my way of capturing the kindness, laughter and atmosphere that make each wedding unique. I live in Dumfries with my partner and two dogs, and that genuine, down‑to‑earth approach comes through in the way I photograph weddings: friendly, organised and focused on making sure without question you love your photos. If you’re planning your wedding in Dumfries or beyond and want a wedding day photographer who specialises in capturing honest, professional wedding photos, I’d love to hear about your plans.
