Joe at JBA Photography in Elgin specialises in relaxed, natural wedding photography. Warm, unobtrusive and story-led, he captures candid moments throughout north Scotland that reflect your unique day.
I’m Joe — the photographer behind JBA Photography, based in Elgin. My work is rooted in a simple belief: the best wedding photos come from genuine moments, not forced poses. With over a decade of experience capturing weddings across Moray, Aberdeenshire and the north of Scotland, I specialise in a relaxed, natural approach that puts you at ease and lets your day unfold as it should. Why choose JBA Photography? I focus on connection. From our first chat I aim to get to know you — what matters most, the little rituals, and the people who make your day special. That relationship is what allows me to blend into the background and capture honest, emotional images: quiet glances, unplanned laughter, and those fleeting details that become treasured memories. My style sits between gentle documentary and thoughtful portraiture. I keep staged shots to a minimum, reserving them for when they add something meaningful. Otherwise I work unobtrusively to document the narrative of your wedding day, producing a cohesive collection of photographs that feel true to you. I pride myself on being friendly and easygoing — many couples tell me I feel like an extra guest rather than a formal supplier — and that relaxed atmosphere helps everyone look and feel natural in front of the camera. Working with me is straightforward and personal. We’ll have a pre-wedding conversation (and a shoot if you’d like) to go over timings, the parts of the day you value most, and any must-have family shots. On the day I stay attentive to mood and light, ready to capture both the big moments and the subtle ones. After the wedding I carefully edit images to enhance mood and colour while keeping a true-to-life look that suits the story of your day. While weddings are my primary passion, I also photograph families, portraits and school events locally. If you’re planning a wedding in or around Elgin and want a calm, story-led approach to your wedding photography, I’d love to hear about your plans and see how we can create something unforgettable together.
