Based in Dumfries, Martin McNae specialises in wedding photography, blending candid documentary moments with posed portraits to tell your story. Albums, online previews and designer USBs included.
Your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life and being photographed should be an enjoyable, happy experience. As a specialist wedding photographer based in Dumfries, I focus on capturing the full story of your day — from bridal prep through to the first dance — in both technicolour and classic black & white. With more than 25 years of experience photographing weddings across Scotland and Northern England, I bring calm, practical expertise and a strong knowledge of the best locations in Dumfries & Galloway. I work with two cameras to maximise coverage and take as many images as needed so no detail is missed. My approach is to combine relaxed, candid documentary moments with tasteful posed portraits, giving you a rich mix of images that reflect the atmosphere, emotion and style of your celebration. On average I deliver an extensive preview of images: over 450 photographs are presented in a preview album for you to view with family and friends, and secure online viewing means loved ones can help you choose no matter where they are. For couples who want the full digital package I provide a designer USB and box containing edited files, and all album packages receive a free USB containing the edited photographs from your preview album. I also offer a wide range of albums in different sizes, styles and colours so you can create a keepsake that suits your home and taste. How I work: we begin with a friendly consultation to discuss the timing and coverage that best suit your day. There are three coverage options available—two seven-hour choices and a full-day eleven-hour package—so you can choose the level of coverage you need. After the wedding I’ll guide you through image selection and design the album layout; you can review drafts by email or come into the studio where we can edit live and ensure the final album is exactly as you imagined. While weddings are my core speciality, I also offer portrait sessions at the studio or on location, plus image enhancement and school photography as additional services. If you’re planning a wedding in Dumfries & Galloway and want a professional, experienced wedding day photographer who values natural moments and meticulous presentation, I’d be delighted to discuss your plans.
