Hello, my name is Ruairidh 👋🏻

What’s my approach?

My goal is to keep the photography process simple and stress-free for you both, so you can fully enjoy your special day.

I’ve been told I have a friendly, down-to-earth demeanor that puts guests at ease, and I’ve been known to bring out smiles even from the grumpiest family member.

As someone who understands camera-shyness, I tend to work best with couples who feel similarly to myself!

Frequently Asked Questions

Not seeing your question below? Get in touch and I’ll get back to you within 24-48 hours.

Etive Photography is based in Oban, Scotland, but I frequently travel for photography work, so don’t worry if you’re not nearby! Travel within 5 miles of post code PA34 is included at no extra cost.

If you’re interested in one of my wedding packages or need a custom quote, just reach out with your details. I’m happy to meet in person or online to discuss your plans before booking.

Once we connect, I’ll secure your wedding date and provide a detailed quote. If you’re satisfied, I’ll send over an electronic contract and an invoice for a 20% deposit to finalize your booking. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding, all in a paperless, hassle-free process.

The number of images depends on the length of your booking. For full-day weddings, you can expect around 400-600 edited images. For shorter weddings and elopements with about 2 hours of coverage, you’ll receive at least 100 edited images.

Your private online gallery will be ready within 4-6 weeks after your wedding day. From there, you can download full-quality images and share them with loved ones. The gallery also includes an integrated print store, so you can order prints directly and have them delivered to your door.

Of course!

Etive Photography requires a 20% deposit to secure your booking. If you cancel 30 days or more before your wedding, the deposit will be refunded. For cancellations within 30 days of the wedding, the deposit is non-refundable.

Feel free to use the contact form in the website menu or email me directly at hello@etivephotography.com. If you’d prefer to meet in person or chat over Zoom, I’d be happy to arrange that. Old-fashioned phone and email work, too!
