About me
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
Let’s get to know each other!
Here’s a few facts about me which may help you to get the idea of what I am like as a person. In no particular order…
If you know and love the quote above, we’re going to be instant friends .
I LOVE coffee.
I am a cat mum to two cheeky cats - Betty and Archie.
I’ve been married for just under three years.
I love the outdoors - walking, hiking, wild swimming - you name it.
I don’t mind getting up for a 5am sunrise, especially when I’m in the countryside.
The LOTR trilogy are my favourite movies of all time. I can watch them again and again.
Some of my favourite artists include Belle & Sebastian, David Bowie & Taylor Swift. Weird combo I know!
I have a degree in English Literature.
I love a good single malt.
I have a background in theatre.
I love observing birds and wildlife & learning about different species.
Photography is not just a job, it’s a huge passion of mine. I absolutely treat it as ART.
I’m very picky when it comes to my work and will spend as much time as I need on each photo to make sure I’m happy with it. I definitely prioritise quality over speedy editing.
Here’s what my couples had to say about me…
“We could not recommend Ieva more highly; she made our Scotland elopement dreams come true! Her soft, candid photography style fit our artistic vision for our wedding shoot perfectly. She went above and beyond for us on our special day and it could not have been more perfect. From meeting her in our first zoom call to working with her in person, Ieva is the most lovely person and makes you feel comfortable right away. We had no experience in front of the camera, but she still managed to get such incredible poses with some gentle guidance and just letting us be ourselves! Thank you so so so so much for being our photographer Ieva; we know who we're calling when we head back for our vow renewals one day!”
Alice & Andrew
“We are so grateful for the magical photos Ieva created for our elopement. She was lovely to deal with and great with our toddler. We’re in love with our photos and can’t stop looking through them all. Thank you so much Ieva!”
Haylee & Neskeen
“The pictures are amazing! AMAZING!
Last night it felt like we were back at the wedding. The pictures really translate how it felt to us! We can not believe Ieva was able to capture that on screen. Unbelievably wonderful! We went through them and it took us 4 hours haha, but it was soooo good!
She caught all the right moments and even more. The colors are amazing, the energy pops off the screen and the little extras like seeing the guests through the mirrors during the dinner speeches are priceless.
Also, what hard work she delivered! All these wonderful pictures within two weeks, wow what service!
Ieva has been amazing, during the planning, during the wedding (even with helping to get me in my dress ;-)) and now with the pictures. We can not thank her enough for it all! So thankful to have crossed paths with her and very happy with all she’s done!”Brechje & Sebastiaan
“We had the pleasure of meeting Ieva and went on a little adventure with her down near the Scottish highlands for our engagement photoshoot. There just aren’t enough words to describe how amazing each and every photo that Ieva captured. She is so passionate about her work, and capturing the story of each couple, she truly cares and this shows with how she made us feel and the photos she produced. She created magic, every photo is just breathtaking. We will be forever grateful of the beautiful photos. She made us feel very comfortable and we had lots of fun. Thanks so much Ieva, we absolutely love every single photo you have taken, and will forever treasure the photos.”
Shwetha & James
“We absolutely love the wedding photos Ieva did for our Edinburgh elopement. The pictures are stunning! She listened to our ideas and had wonderful suggestions. As an American planning a wedding in a foreign country her input was invaluable. She had great suggestions for photo locations and was always willing to listen to our ideas. We could not be more satisfied.”
