Douglas Cairns Photography

I'm Douglas Cairns — a laidback, friendly wedding photographer based in Glenrothes who loves nothing more than catching genuine moments as they happen. My work centres on natural, candid wedding photography: the stolen glances, spontaneous laughter, quiet nerves before the aisle and the honest joy that makes each day unique. I photograph with an eye for story and emotion, aiming to create images that feel as authentic at 50 years as they do the week after your wedding. What sets my approach apart is a relaxed, people-first way of working. I bring calm and good humour to busy days — yes, there will be dad jokes — because a relaxed couple makes for better photos. I’m experienced at guiding groups, putting nervous family members at ease and nudging moments along without ever being overbearing. That means you get photographs that look and feel like you: warm, unscripted and full of life. I’m proud to be local to Glenrothes and serve couples across Fife and wider Scotland. My familiarity with local venues and light conditions helps me anticipate the best moments and places for portraits, whether that’s a quiet shoreline, a historic hotel or a chapel tucked away in the countryside. I focus on capturing your day as it unfolds, blending documentary-style coverage with a few relaxed, timeless portraits to complete the story. How I work with couples: we start with a friendly chat so I understand what matters most to you. Ahead of your day I’ll share a relaxed plan and we’ll have a virtual catch-up to make sure everyone knows what to expect. On the wedding day I stay attentive and adaptable — ready to capture the big moments and the small ones you didn’t even know were happening. After the wedding, you’ll receive an online gallery that makes it simple to view, share and download your images. While wedding photography is my speciality, I also offer optional video coverage for couples who want to combine moving and still imagery of their day. Above all, my goal is simple: to give you beautiful, honest wedding photos that transport you back to how you felt on the day. If you want a friendly, experienced Glenrothes photographer who values personality, storytelling and good value, I’d love to chat.
