So buckle up here’s a little about me…
Bit of a Star Wars collector geek, well actually a huge Star Wars geek truth be told and I’ve got an unhealthy obsession with Fjallraven outdoors clothing & kit and anything Nordic Noir.
When I am not working on my weddings I’ll probably be on a mountain or a trial somewhere in Scotland. You can see some of my adventures in the photos. I like to take the camera & drone with me, drone gives a different perspective of the landscape when taking photos. It’s my happy place, it’s where I go to recharge the batteries and switch off and I find its a great way to keep you very fit for those back to back wedding days!
In my early photo career I mainly photographed Triathlon/ Multi and Adventure Sports,
From Common Wealth Games to various Triathlon World and European championships all for a varied number of lifestyle & sports magazines.
Apart from chasing athletes up and down Ben Nevis and in and out of lochs, I manage a number of magazine covers which I am quite proud of and commissions from commercial Sports Agencies and Brands like Specialized Bikes, Saucony and Lucazade Sports to name a few.
For over 20 years I did the photography for the governing body of Triathlon in Scotland and for a time British Triathlon.
I’d aways shied away from weddings when friends asked me as the thought of how important these images are to a couple and that you only get one chance always made me feel uneasy but then someone pointed out to me “well you travel to all these major events for magazines and commercial clients and coming back without the goods just is’nt an option so you should be used to working like this!”
So I took up the next wedding offer and I photographed my very first wedding in the mid 90’s, where I actually struck it lucky as it was at the fabulous Culzean Castle and I also found I really enjoyed it. Its the same rush, getting that shot with no retakes and I can actually be more creative… I’ve never looked back since.
My photography since I started photographing adventure sports has always been more documentary so it was an easy step taking this into my wedding photography and also adding in some creative photos into the mix too.
On the 10th July 2010 I made the jump and turned the passion into a full time living … probably one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life.
So that’s me , I am very easy going, love the outdoors lifestyle, like a good laugh but take my profession seriously and I am pretty lucky to actually love and enjoy my full time job and the service I provide and how I work on your wedding day is second to none which I think shows in my work.
Thanks
Iain MacIntosh

We got married on 5th of June 2021. We cannot fault anything about Iain’s services. He captured our day perfectly. He let us mingle with guests and pulled us away briefly to get the shots and looking back at the images I hadn’t even realised he was there to capture the small moments which really mean so much. We are going to be spoiled for choice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Iain was a recommendation to me from 5 other previous brides which speaks volumes. We received our photographs within a week of the wedding day and they blew us away. Iain captured every little detail, moment and emotion of our day, his candid style is amazing and it's given us very special memories of our big day and our loved ones. He is also a genuinely lovely guy, very professional

We asked Iain to be our wedding photographer and it was one of the best decisions we made regarding our big day! We cannot put into words how relaxed and comfortable Iain made us feel – the whole experience was great fun and for most of the day you didn’t notice Iain snapping away in the background! They are stunning – thank you so much, you’ve done an amazing job of capturing the day for us! We’re over the moon – thank you for only adding to our big day!

From the first time we met he was absolutely lovely, and completely understood what we were looking for from our wedding photos. We did a pre wedding shoot a few months before which we took my stepson along too and he loved Iain also! Well we were not disappointed! So many wonderful memories of a fantastic day and we genuinely can’t recommend him enough. Thanks again Iain! Xx
