Being invited to paint a wedding on the Isle of Skye is always special. Each celebration unfolds differently, shaped by the landscape, the light, and the people at its heart. My role is to observe, to respond, and to translate that feeling into paint — calmly, intuitively, and with care.
Couples can choose how they’d like their day to be captured. Some opt for a wedding watercolour sketchbook, filled with loose, expressive studies made as the day unfolds. Others choose a live oil painting of the two of you, created during the celebration, or an oil painting of the landscape itself — the place where your story began. Each approach offers a different way of remembering, but all are rooted in the same intention: to hold the atmosphere of the day, not just its appearance.
When I paint live, guests often wander over to watch the work take shape. It becomes a gentle, informal part of the celebration — something to pause at, return to, and enjoy as the painting slowly emerges alongside the day itself.
Alongside weddings, I spend much of my time painting the landscapes of Skye These original oil paintings are available to purchase, and I also welcome commissions for specific places that hold meaning for you.
