A Bit About Us


photography and highlight videos covering scotland, the UK and international destinations

Richard Howden

Photographer

Let me tell you a bit more about me. I have had the pleasure of capturing special moments and events for over a decade and really understand what my clients are looking for. My techniques and skills have evolved over the last 18 years, and in turn has allowed me to develop new ideas to develop our business.

Having 2 photographers at Howden Photography allows us now to capture so much more and speed up the the process of your day. It also allows us to focus on some Drone photos and short video clips.

"The future is Photo and Video Hybrid"

Through the years I have evolved from landscape photography to studio photography to night time photography and now to wedding photography. This is my passion and I like to keep it as relaxed as possible and most importantly fun to ensure I capture all those moments in time.


Nina Kunkel-Howden

Photographer

I have had a passion in photography for many years. I started with macro and landscape photography and have developed my skills over time. I have now fallen in love with Wedding Photography. There is nothing more enjoyable than working with couples on their wedding day and capturing those special moments.

My aim is to capture amazing moments of your special day that you can cherish forever. Having 2 of us at your big day opens up the opportunity to capture many more candid photos and also speeds up the group photo sessions.

I love what I do, and I enjoy documenting all those unique moments throughout the day.

We love the outdoors and taking photos of everything.  In our spare time we love walking the dogs, making new plans and have projects all year round from garden projects to our Christmas village. . . . .  Don't ask!!


We also love to have a break and go somewhere warm to completely relax although having the opportunity to do International weddings allows us to make a holiday of it.  Italy last year was amazing.

OUR TIPS

-

Flat Shoes

Advice for our beautiful brides with their beautiful shoes. If you plan on walking far or on wet grass for photos, actually, any distance at all, bring flat shoes. Trainers, wellies, flip-flops.... whatever..... You will thank us for this one!

Props

We have umbrellas, photo frames, tug of war rope and a grumpy dinosaur. If you want any other props either ask in advance or bring your own. Using props to set up photos can take some time, so a second photographer is recommended to assist with photo set up times and carrying the extra equipment.

Rings?

Simple. Don't forget them!!

Relax

Easier said than done, but remember you have already made the plans and triple checked them. The main thing is to enjoy your day together with your friends and family.

Kilts

Guys, are you wearing a Kilt? If so have a practice putting it on the night before if you have not worn one previously. And practice sitting down and let your kilt hang low. There are some things we just don't want to photograph!
