Claire Millar Photography

Claire Millar is a Kirkintilloch-based wedding photographer who believes the best wedding photos come from being present, not posed. Her signature approach is relaxed and documentary-led: she moves through your day with a calm, unobtrusive eye, catching the tiny, honest moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. If the idea of staged, stiff photos fills you with dread, Claire’s “real love, no cheesy poses” philosophy will be a breath of fresh air. Why choose Claire? She blends a warm, friendly presence with a practiced documentary sensibility. Living in Glasgow and happiest under a big Scottish sky, Claire is used to photographing everything from intimate elopements by lochs to lively reception parties. She’s excellent at putting camera-shy couples at ease—keeping directions to a minimum, using gentle prompts rather than rigid posing, and creating an atmosphere where laughter and natural emotion can shine. How she works: every wedding begins with a conversation. Claire offers a pre-wedding consultation so she can understand your plans, priorities and the vibe you want to remember. On the day she focuses on documenting the story as it unfolds, stepping in only when light planning helps—think quick, efficient group shots or a relaxed couples shoot that doesn’t pull you away from your guests for long. For intimate ceremonies, micro-weddings or elopements, Claire adapts her approach to match the pace and intimacy of the day. Her editing style favours natural tones and honest emotion; the images aim to feel like the day felt—warm, spontaneous and true to you. Beyond technical skill, Claire brings a real love of people and place: she’s an outdoor enthusiast who delights in dramatic Scottish backdrops and informal moments alike. If you want a wedding photographer based in Kirkintilloch who will document your day with kindness, ease and a focus on authenticity, Claire Millar offers a down-to-earth, professional service that leaves you with timeless photographs you’ll want to relive again and again.
