As a documentary-style Inverness wedding photographer I capture candid, emotional moments across the Highlands and Scotland. I create relaxed, storytelling wedding and engagement images.
I’m Lewis Mackenzie, an Inverness-based wedding photographer specialising in documentary, candid wedding photography that tells the true story of your day. With cameras in my hands since childhood and a background that includes awards and magazine features, I approach every wedding with a commitment to honest, emotion-led imagery. I blend into the background with an unobtrusive yet attentive presence, allowing real moments to unfold while stepping in to direct only when it will make a difference to a photograph. Why choose me? My focus is weddings — from intimate Highland elopements to larger celebrations across Inverness, the Highlands, Moray, Skye and beyond. I aim to capture the small, fleeting interactions that become the memories you return to again and again. My relaxed and laid-back style helps everyone feel at ease, so even camera-shy couples find the experience natural and enjoyable. I pay attention to light, place and atmosphere to create images that feel both timeless and distinctly yours. How I work with couples: I begin by listening — your plans, priorities and the moments you most want remembered. On the day I prioritise documentary coverage: bridal and groom preparations, the ceremony, candid guest moments, speeches and the celebrations late into the evening. When we want more composed portraits, I’ll guide you gently to capture those special images without stealing time from your guests. After the wedding I carefully edit and craft a gallery that flows like a story, showing the arc of your day from first nerves to last dances. My aim is to deliver professional wedding photos that feel personal and true. While weddings are my core specialty, I also enjoy occasional family, pet and commercial work — including aerial/drone photography for selected projects — but I position myself primarily as a specialist wedding photographer in Inverness and the Highlands. If you’re planning a Highland elopement, a church wedding in Inverness or a celebration anywhere in Scotland and want natural, storytelling images, get in touch. I’d love to hear about your day and how I can help preserve it with honest, emotive wedding photography.
