Hello, I'm CHRISTIE
A wedding photographer with over a decade of experience.
I'm a 90's baby, cocker spaniel dog mom & workaholic raised in Macduff - A coastal Scottish town that sparked my passion for photography. Growing up surrounded by stunning scenery, I picked up a camera early on & never looked back.
My journey began in 2013 when I started a Facebook page to share my work with friends, family & my local community. At just 16, I shot my first wedding & from that moment on I knew weddings were where my heart belonged. Looking back, I’m proud of younger me for pursuing my dreams & following what I loved. It’s true what they say, when you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. Every day is a joy & I am incredibly grateful.
NORTH EAST wedding PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR
I am beyond excited and humbled to have been awarded Photographer of the Year in the 2024 Top Tier Awards! This recognition means so much to me & I couldn’t have achieved this without the incredible support from my amazing couples, fellow wedding suppliers & everyone who has been a part of my journey.
I HAVE THE WORLDS COOLEST JOB. FACT.
No single working day is the same. Every day I meet new people, see new places & photograph new things! I count myself so lucky to have such an exciting job that fills me with all sorts of different emotions on a daily basis. At weddings you'll usually catch me with a huge smile on my face when I see my brides coming down the aisle, getting goosebumps at the beautiful images I am creating & tearing up at touching speeches! Building a bond with my brides & grooms is a must & it's so lovely to catch up with them after the wedding madness is over as well. I've made so many friends through this amazing career & wouldn't change it for anything!
"never work with CHILDREN OR ANIMALS?"
If you have little ones & are nervous about how they'll be on your big day, you're in luck because I LOVE working with kids. They are the funniest, most brutally honest & cutest creatures on the planet. I used to work part-time at a nursery and it played a huge role in growing my photography career. Being the baby of my family, little people were like aliens to me at first! But the nursery taught me how to make them feel comfortable from the get go, how to communicate with them & what makes them laugh. There’s nothing better than capturing a genuine smile. I’m also lucky & very proud to be an Auntie to my gorgeous niece!
