The Kitcheners

Hi, I’m Dylan, an elopement and wedding photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

My story with photography started around 15 years ago when I was living in Australia. It was there that I also met the love of my life, Joanna. We got engaged after 3 months and then moved to Scotland not too long after that. It all happened pretty quickly but sometimes you just know when you know!

Fast forward a few years and we have built a fulfilling life together with our two sons, Bruno and Gustav. They inspire us every day to seek out the good in the world and to do better.

While I am out on the field capturing stories, Joanna is busy behind the scenes with post production and editing.

Whether it’s the quiet serenity of an elopement on top of a windswept cliff, the laughter echoing through the halls of a Scottish castle, or the cheerful celebration of a Scottish countryside wedding, I want to immortalise the visual legacy of your elopement or wedding day.

I would be honoured to be your photographer.

Approach

For many years I’ve been heavily inspired by films and since the beginning 12 years ago, my goal has been to combine that love for cinematography with my love for wedding documentary storytelling.

My style in inspired by the cinematic techniques used in film.

For me it’s not just about photographing a wedding; it’s about creating a cinematic visual narrative that encapsulates the essence of you as a couple, the journey you’ve embarked on, and the real emotions shared on your special day.

I want your story to not only look like a beautiful movie, but feel like one too. From beginning to end.

I approach each wedding and elopement story with the eye of a cinematographer; always seeking out natural light, colour and composition to create evocative images that feel both timeless and imbued with the emotional impact of a cinematic frame.

Every couple has their own unique story. My role is to document your story with a perfect blend of candid photography (and a bit of direction), resulting in a collection of authentic images that not only reflect the day’s events but also the atmosphere and how it all really felt.

My passion for cinema and storytelling has shaped my approach to wedding photography, making each wedding I photograph not just a job, but a privilege.
