Wedding photography, but make it a movie.
Welcome to cinematic wedding photography that feels like stills from your favourite film. We’re Paula and Pete Swiech, Scotland-based photographers capturing love stories with a cinematic touch - dreamy, romantic, and deeply personal. A husband-and-wife team, we believe every wedding should be captured with the same passion and artistry that makes your love one-of-a-kind.
Drawing inspiration from old movies and classic cinematography, we capture the moments you’ll obsess over, where every frame tells your story in a way you’ll never forget. Being in love ourselves, we understand the importance of having a photographer who appreciates your special day and treats it with care and attention.

WEDDING PHOTOS
“Pete and Paula captured all the beauty, love and fun of our wedding and the photos are just magical.”

BASED IN SCOTLAND UK, AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE.
We take inspiration from romantic films because no matter how old a story is, there’s always a recognisable theme, a longed-for protagonist, a common thread, something we all relate to. Our film wedding photography approach ensures ensures every frame feels cinematic, capturing the emotions and movement of a moment so they stay alive long after we’ve freeze-framed them.
But above all else, we make it fun and relaxing, putting you at ease from the moment we meet to chat through your needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Art of Cinematic Storytelling: Your Questions, Answered
Q. What is documentary wedding photography?
Documentary wedding photography captures authentic, unposed moments throughout your wedding day with minimal intervention. As documentary wedding photographers based in Scotland, we blend this natural approach with cinematic techniques to create timeless, emotive images that tell your unique story like a film.
Q. What makes cinematic wedding photography different?
Cinematic wedding photography uses film-inspired techniques to create images with a movie-like quality. We focus on dramatic lighting, thoughtful composition, and selective focus to create photographs that feel like scenes from a beautiful film. Our approach combines the authenticity of documentary photography with the visual impact of cinema.
Q. Do you shoot on actual film or just digital?
We offer both digital and genuine film photography services. Our film images are shot on professional 35mm cameras, creating photographs with a distinctive, timeless quality that digital can't fully replicate. Many couples choose a mix of both mediums to get the best of both worlds.
Q. Do you travel outside Scotland for weddings?
Absolutely! While we're based in Scotland, we regularly photograph weddings throughout the UK and destination weddings in Italy, France, Spain, and beyond. We bring our distinctive documentary and cinematic approach wherever your celebration takes place
