Glasgow Wedding Photographer | Dearly Photography
I am David, the founder of Dearly Photography, a Glasgow-based wedding and family photography business established over a decade ago. My journey began with a passion for capturing authentic moments, transitioning from a medical career to pursue photography full-time. With hundreds of weddings documented across Scotland and internationally, my approach focuses on unobtrusive, documentary-style imagery that reflects couples' unique stories. I prioritise creating relaxed environments to ensure genuine emotions are preserved, complemented by a Scottish sense of humour.My work has been featured on platforms like Fearless Photographers and Rock My Wedding, and I offer additional services including newborn photography, bespoke albums, and videography collaborations. Backed by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, I ensure reliability and quality, with a network of photographers available for contingency planning.
