Dundee wedding photographer Karen Jackson specialises in natural, candid wedding photography. Her relaxed, documentary approach captures authentic emotions and timeless couple portraits you’ll love.
I’m Karen Jackson and I’ve been photographing weddings since 2007. Based in Dundee, I specialise in natural, relaxed, documentary-style wedding photography that focuses on real moments rather than heavy staging. My style is very much ‘fly on the wall’ — I look for the little connections, the laughter, the quiet glances and the joyful chaos that make your day uniquely yours. Why choose me? I bring years of experience (including work for large portrait brands before starting my own business) and a calm, friendly presence on the day. Couples tell me they appreciate how I put everyone at ease — guests and camera-shy partners included — which helps me capture genuinely expressive, candid images. I value inclusivity and welcome all couples, making sure every wedding I photograph is celebrated with respect and warmth. What makes my approach special is a balance of documentary storytelling and a few tasteful couple portraits for your wall. I don’t over-direct or create long, cringe-worthy poses; instead I find beautiful light and meaningful moments, guiding you gently so the photos feel natural and timeless. I work closely with you before the wedding to understand what’s important — whether you want lots of candid reportage, a short set of couple portraits, or a focus on family connections. How I work: I’ll be in touch well before your day to plan logistics and expectations, and I’m happy to meet in person or chat over Zoom. On the wedding day I aim to be unobtrusive but ready for anything, capturing everything from getting-ready details to the first dances. After the wedding I provide your images via a private password gallery with a licence to print, and I offer quality Storybook albums for those who want a tactile keepsake. Since 2021 I’ve also been creating wedding films that can be added to your photography coverage. I love photographing small weddings, micro-weddings and elopements as much as full-day celebrations — each one brings its own personality and stories. Serving Dundee and the surrounding areas including Fife, Angus and Perthshire, my aim is simple: to give you beautiful, real photographs that take you straight back to how the day felt. If that sounds like what you’re after, I’d love to hear about your plans.
