Kay – The mind behind AELA Photography

The creative mind at the heart of AELA is Kay, a single mum living just outside Glasgow in Motherwell. She’s passionate about the outdoors and, of course, wedding photography!

Kay believes that spending the happiest day of people’s lives with them is the best job in the world, not only because every wedding is different, but because she thrives on capturing the raw emotion, quirky moments and genuine happiness that make weddings unique to each couple.

Experiences over “things” – Your wedding isn’t just an event, Kay believes it’s a memory in the making

Going above & beyond – Just because Kay is a talented photographer and videographer, doesn’t mean she can’t help fix your dress or give you a pep talk before your first dance! 

Adventure weddings – Whether it’s Loch Lomond or Skye, if your love story is wild and free, Kay will be there to capture it.

With constant communication, planning assistance and hands-on support, your wedding experience will be stress-free and full of excitement.

What is a wedding content creator?

A wedding content creator captures behind-the-scenes, social media-friendly content from your wedding day.

Unlike traditional wedding photographers and videographers, a wedding content creator places focus on short-form content such as Instagram Stories, TikTok's and Reels, ready to share within just 24 hours of your wedding - perfect if you can't wait for your professional photography images!

How far in advance should I book my wedding photographer/videographer?

We recommend booking your preferred photographer/videographer as soon as your venue is booked to avoid disappointment, especially during peak wedding season (May-October).
