# Derek Christie Photography
Derek Christie is an award-winning wedding photographer based in Gullane, East Lothian, serving couples across Scotland and the UK. With over 600 weddings captured, he specialises in documentary-style photography that authentically documents love stories as they unfold, rather than forcing staged moments.
Derek works with couples who understand that their wedding day is deeply personal—a unique celebration deserving genuine, artful documentation. He collaborates seamlessly with wedding planners and coordinators, positioning himself as an integral part of the day's narrative rather than an intrusive presence. His work spans prestigious Scottish venues including Carlowrie Castle and remote Highland locations like Camusdarach Beach, demonstrating versatility across diverse settings and styles.
What truly sets Derek apart is his philosophy: "The Wedding Isn't About The Photos. The Photos Are About The Wedding." This client-centric approach emphasises creating images that genuinely reflect each couple's story and personality. He offers bespoke quotations for varying needs—intimate smaller weddings or large celebrations requiring a second shooter—ensuring his service matches individual requirements rather than forcing couples into standardised packages.
His warm, personable communication style and genuine passion for his craft create an approachable experience. Derek positions himself not merely as a service provider, but as a trusted collaborator invested in capturing the joy, emotion, and magic of your specific celebration. His extensive portfolio and glowing testimonials underscore his reputation as one of Scotland's most sought-after wedding photographers.
