Alternative, fun, colourful wedding photographer Glasgow, Joy Story celebrates love Scotland wide. Sarah has been obsessed with genuine moments of joy + awesome party times since 2012!

No staged moments, just the laid-back party you want, and photos afterwards that make you feel lucky to be this loved.

What can you expect from Joy Story? Well, I…

• Make killer photos that you won’t believe
• Reply quickly to emails
• Wield my wild research superpowers for you. (Like that time I discovered a road race scheduled for the wedding day, and saved half the guests from turning up late. I got you.)
• Help you plan your timeline and organise your day. You have enough to do!
• Get to know you so you feel completely comfortable. 
• Blend into the day like a friend who happens to be taking photos. (An organised friend. The one who handles things and carries safety pins and hairspray, just in case.)

If this sounds right up your street, then reach out! I am here to help and make your wedding as fun and stress-free as possible!

How I cater to offbeat weddings

Each wedding is unique, just as each couple is unique. I take the time to get to know you as a couple and this will show in your photographs. After all, your wedding photos should be a reflection of you, not me. I’ve been told that I feel like a guest who happens to be taking photos. Blending in with your wedding day, I pride myself on capturing your authentic and honest moments of love and happiness.

Your wedding will be full of big moments, but I want to capture the small moments too – your shared, subtle expressions of intimacy and commitment, and the details that make this day distinctly yours; the family, the fun, the laughter, the tears of joy. And if there happens to be lightsabers or goats there (yass!) I will be so excited for it!

“We were blown away at how Sarah and Kristeen had captured everything. We are left with the most amazing documentation of the best day of our lives. The photos that we didn't want too much time spent on are now our most treasured possessions. We can't thank you both enough. Huge recommendations for this talented pair!” - Emma & Jane

Cover Image

REQUIRED. Select one image to be used as your cover image, which will appear on the category and location pages. Square images work best. Important: Until you add a cover image, your listing will not appear on category or location pages.

Highlighted Images

Please select up to three images to be highlighted in the header of your portfolio. Note that our templates are designed to be responsive, which means that these images will crop differently depending on the viewer's browser size and orientation -- on mobile, images map crop horizontally. On huge desktops, they may crop vertically. That's as intended, although it may result in some headless couples depending on your photo composition.

How I cater to offbeat weddings

This is one of the most important fields on your vendor listing! Our readers love to feel special and like you understand the issues that are important to them -- stuff like LGBTQ support, gender-neutral contracts, and inclusive sizing. They also love hearing about how offbeat YOU are, so be sure to mention any of your own quirks as a way to relate to folks.

Promotions or Discounts

Everyone likes a coupon, but our readers LOVE feeling special, and like their specialness matters and gets them a deal. They especially love discounts or coupons specifically for marginalized communities or identities. If you've ever had a particular client you've wanted to work with (say, a transgender bride or a goth couple or a polyamorous triad) this is the spot to offer a discount specifically to those communities!
