A brief history of my story so far…

Hi! I’m Callum, but please call me Cal. I’m 28 years of age and I’ve been practicing photography for 4 years and shooting weddings for just under 2 of them. Ive shot a wide range of weddings in my short experience, from small weddings in quaint local churches. Up to bigger weddings in great ceremonious cathedrals. I love shooting weddings (which if you asked me a few years ago if i’d enjoy it, i’d have have said jog on) However here I am today, enjoying each one as a challenge and an experience. Which makes me super excited to see what weddings and events the future has in store!


My journey with photography started like any lost young person who’s unable to decide on what to do with the rest of their lives. By running away from all responsibility, under the illusion of backpacking to Southeast Asia. When on my travels I met a short, ginger lad named George. George had with him a Panasonic Lumix camera and had a knack for documentary styled photography. After travelling around together with nothing else to do but drink and go to the beach. I picked up a keen interest in the photos he took. So much so, that it struck a cord with me as something id like to try my hand at. Once I was done with travelling, I returned with a desire to pick up photography just simply to take pictures as well as my friend could! With no real aspirations of doing it as a career and yet here we are…

Once home, it goes without saying I was totally skint. But once working again, I bought a Nikon D7100 and a couple of photography books from Amazon. I then self-taught from these books when I wasn’t working at my job. I’ll skip past the long arduous stories of poor photos and failed experiments. I found I really enjoyed it so decided to annoy my family by photographing everyone and everything at every opportunity. My cousin Holly who is a very talented make-up artist (Which, by the way what a talent that is, if you’d like to see her work visit @hollymua on instagram) She saw some photos I once took of my Nan making some patchwork quilts and suggested attending some bridal make up sessions that some brides had booked with her. So, eager to find out what the craic was I went with her and enjoyed every moment.

Least to say I went once and have never looked back, that then led to weddings of friends and then those weddings led to my first clients and then that led to last year in 2022 which was my first wedding season! And the rest as they say, is history. Honestly, to me it is the best job in the world not only because its photography but also because it’s so social and fun shooting people on the best day of their lives. Plus, I love being amongst a proper knee’s up! So, if you’re planning a wedding and thinking of booking with me. I can offer some funny stories, a proper laugh and a relaxed day shooting so what are you waiting for?! Hit that button below and lets get it started!


Thanks for reading this, hopefully I will feel less of a stranger to you now. You can head back to the Weddings page via the menu or if you don’t want to take my word for it go look at some of my testimonials! Either way, hopefully I’ll be speaking to you soon!
