Silvya Palladino Photography

Silvya Palladino is a specialist wedding photographer based in Livingston, West Lothian, with a clear focus on reportage wedding photography. If your idea of wedding photos is honest emotion, not stiff poses, Silvya’s approach will feel like having a helpful friend with a camera who quietly knows how to catch the moments that matter. Why choose Silvya? Her work is built around being part of your day, never in the way. She prefers candid, documentary-style coverage and a relaxed portrait session after the ceremony — quick, stress-free and natural. Her mantra, “Photography ain’t a thing you need to stress or worry about!”, is visible in every interaction: from the first chat to the delivery of your final images. That easygoing attitude translates into photos that feel real, joyful and unmistakably yours. What makes her approach special is the combination of reportage instincts with a warm, approachable manner. Silvya aims to blend into the background to capture unguarded smiles, nervous laughter, and the small details that tell your story. When a few family group shots or a short couple session are wanted, she makes them simple and enjoyable — no pomp, no long posing sessions, just genuine moments framed with a photographer’s eye. How she works: conversations come first. Silvya likes to talk about your day, your priorities and what matters most to you. On the wedding day she moves with the flow, anticipating moments rather than forcing them, and keeps things calm for couples who would rather be living the day than orchestrating photos. She covers weddings across the Lothians, Fife and Stirlingshire, and is happy to travel around Scotland for elopements and intimate celebrations. While wedding photography is her clear specialty, Silvya also has experience with engagement and portrait-style shoots when couples want an extra relaxed session to mark their engagement or warm up before the wedding day. Above all, she brings passion for storytelling and a desire to make your photography simple, authentic and memorable. If you want a Livingston wedding photographer who prioritises honesty, calm and real emotion, Silvya offers a friendly, reportage-led service that lets you enjoy your day while she takes care of the rest.
