Documentary Scottish Wedding Photographer.
Specialising in weddings in authentic and historic places around the world.
I’ve been a documentary wedding photographer in Scotland and worldwide since 2020 and was named one of Rangefinder’s 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography in 2021.
Hi, I’m Bernadeta.
An intimate wedding photographer in Scotland with a passion for natural wedding photography
Playing with light, composition, and your special connection, I strive to capture your day in a whimsical yet elegant way. I’ve shot epic weddings in castles, chateaux, and villas across Europe, enchanting riads and palaces in Marrakech and the rest of the world — all incredible locations with beautiful architecture, brought to life with fine art photography.
I’m a romantic soul and an eternal optimist, looking for the beauty in everything around me. I love exploring castles and imagining the stories hidden in their walls. I like to listen to songs with my eyes closed and take them apart in my head.
If you’re a less traditional couple looking for incredibly luxurious, artistic wedding photos, or to be there with you for your wedding or adventure elopement, let’s work together to capture your unique love in all its intimate, natural beauty.
What inspired me to become a destination wedding photographer in Scotland?
I’m not your traditional wedding photographer, and honestly, that’s how I like it. The truth is, I’ve always had this itch to wander — to pack my bags, step into the unfamiliar, and see what waits on the other side. I’ve fallen for the quiet hum of the forest, the crash of waves on some forgotten beach, and the way a city breathes through its architecture. And when I travel, I’m not just passing through. I savour it. I stay in places that feel like art, taste meals that tell me something about the people who made them, and walk until the soles of my shoes have stories to tell.
Photography found me somewhere between all of that — a non-linear trail of exploration, a love for nature’s chaos, and an obsession with the beauty humans leave behind in the spaces they create. I get to meet couples as wildly unique as the places they choose to pledge their forever. People who aren’t afraid to wander off the beaten path with me, who value laughter over tradition and want their love to shine raw and true in every frame.
So, here’s the plan — we’ll go somewhere stunning, somewhere that feels like it was waiting for you. I’ll quietly follow along, catching the way your hand curls into theirs, the way their laughter sets fireworks off in your chest and every fleeting, beautiful moment in between. Because this is about you — the way you love, the way you connect, the story only you two were born to tell.
What will it be like to have me as your laid-back Scotland wedding photographer?
Your Story, Your Love, Your Way
Your wedding is an opportunity to tell your unique story. A story you can share with your loved ones and pass down to your children. Your photographs will transport you back to how you felt at the very moment they were taken.
This is your day – your love in its purest form, your story unfolding moment by moment. It’s the way your partner’s eyes light up when they see you, the shared laughter with your favorite people and the quiet touches that speak louder than words. These are the moments that make your day uniquely yours, and they deserve to be felt, not staged.
You aren’t here to follow someone else’s script. You create your own rules, pour your hearts into the details, and celebrate in a way that’s as bold and unforgettable as the love you share. My role is simple – to see it all through your eyes, to celebrate how you feel, and to reflect back the beauty of who you are together.
You need someone who gets you, someone who moves with the rhythm of your day. I step in only when needed, offering a calm presence when the chaos crescendos and capturing the quiet, unspoken moments when no one’s looking. These aren’t just photos—they’re proof of how deeply you love and how beautifully you lived in every fleeting second.
This is your story. I’m here to make sure you’ll never forget it.
