Meet Kay – The creative behind AELA Photography

The driving force behind AELA Photography is Kay, a single mum based in Motherwell, just outside of Glasgow. She’s passionate about the outdoors, love stories and creating images that truly resonate – the perfect combination for a wedding photographer.

To Kay, weddings are more than just events, they’re a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with blissful glances, meaningful tears and beautiful chaos. There for it all, Kay will capture the hug from your gran, the funky moves on the dancefloor – and will even help to fix your dress or give you a pre-first dance pep talk.

She believes in going above and beyond for every couple, offering not only her expertise, but her heart and energy too. With constant communication, planning assistance and hands-on support – your wedding experience will be stress-free and full of excitement.
