all for a varied number of lifestyle, sports magazines, sponsors and commercial clients and its given me some amazing adventures over the years and i've met some incredibly inspirational people and photographed their weddings too.

My personal time I like to spend it on a mountain trail somewhere or a Munro with my drone.   I just find its a great way to recharge the batteries, listen to audiobooks and switch off from social media , my least fav thing in the world! plus it keeps you pretty fit and gives me an excuse to buy lots of gear too ! 

I used this camera model , my very first 35mm camera which I found a mint copy of and still use today alongside my modern Sony cameras.

In my early career I mainly photographed Triathlon/ Multi and Adventure Sports, on the stages of the Common Wealth Games to various Triathlon World and European championships in Europe

Hi I am Iain ...

Based just outside Glasgow on the Clyde coast I've been photographing weddings for more than 25 years having photographed my very first paid wedding in 1995.

For over 20 years I did the photography for the governing body of Triathlon in Scotland and for a time British Triathlon.

Apart from chasing athletes up and down mountains, in and out of water, above and below, 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.

I managed to balance sports & wedding photography  side by side on a semi professional basis but as my weddings really started to take off I phased out the sports , left my full time job at IBM in July of 2010 and now just concentrate on photographing weddings full time or as we used to say "I turned Pro"

So that’s me , I am very easy going, love the outdoors lifestyle, like a good laugh but I do 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 to give couples the best experience is second to none which I think shows in my work and my reviews for previous couples.  Iain MacIntosh
