Dumfries-based wedding specialist Mark Boyd brings 20 years' experience and a calm, unobtrusive approach to capture authentic wedding moments. Fast, beautifully edited galleries delivered with care.
I’m Mark Boyd — a professional wedding photographer based in Dumfries with two decades of experience photographing weddings across the UK. I specialise in wedding photography and approach every story with the same goal: to capture the real, unscripted moments that make your day unique. My style blends documentary sensitivity with thoughtful portraiture, so you’ll get both the big moments and the intimate, in-between details that tell the full story of your wedding day. Why choose me? I combine seasoned technical skill with a calm, unobtrusive manner that puts guests at ease. Whether you’re planning a countryside celebration in Dumfries, a Cotswolds venue or a destination celebration elsewhere in GB, I work closely with couples to understand their vision and then quietly get on with capturing it. My experience means I can read light and mood quickly, adapt to changing conditions, and create images that feel honest and timeless rather than overly staged. How I work: I prioritise clear communication and a relaxed partnership. Before your wedding we’ll talk through your day so I know the moments that matter most to you. On the day I aim to be present without being intrusive — directing only when it helps, otherwise blending into the background to capture spontaneous emotion. After the wedding, all editing and retouching is handled in-house using Lightroom and Photoshop so your final gallery reflects a consistent, considered look. I also provide secure, easy-to-share galleries and delivery options designed to make viewing and printing simple. I’m proud of my track record photographing everything from intimate glen ceremonies on the Isle of Man to larger country-house weddings, and I bring that same calm professionalism to every assignment. While wedding photography is my core focus, I also occasionally work on family portraiture, commercial shoots and photography workshops — all of which feed back into my wedding work by keeping my creative eye sharp. If you value authentic storytelling, technical confidence and a photographer who genuinely enjoys helping couples feel relaxed on their day, I’d love to hear about your plans. Based in Dumfries and shooting across GB, I specialise in creating wedding photos that feel honest, joyful and made to last.
