Ieva Marija Photography

  • Woman Owned

Hi! My name is Ieva. I am an intimate wedding and elopement photographer based in Scotland.

I am very passionate about two things which feature heavily in my photography - the wild, untamed Scottish landscapes and true, authentic human connection. I would describe my photography style as intimate, dreamy and cinematic. I love capturing authentic moments and I can honestly say that you do not need to feel confident in front of the camera to get those epic wedding photos. All it matters is that you trust me leading you through the process and help me tell your story by focusing on each other and the epic landscapes you find yourselves in - and not the camera.

I enjoy nothing more than putting my hiking boots on, picking up a flask of hot tea, getting in the car and driving to find an adventure! And even better when I get to do it with an adventurous couple whose love story I’ve been asked to capture.

If you’d like me to be part of your great adventure, whether on top of a mountain, in a forest, by the sea or wandering down Edinburgh’s cobbled streets and secret lanes, I would love to join you!

    We could not recommend Ieva more highly; she made our Scotland elopement dreams come true! Her soft, candid photography style fit our artistic vision for our wedding shoot perfectly. She went above and beyond for us on our special day and it could not have been more perfect. From meeting her in our first zoom call to working with her in person, Ieva is the most lovely person and makes you feel comfortable right away. We had no experience in front of the camera, but she still managed to get such incredible poses with some gentle guidance and just letting us be ourselves! Thank you so so so so much for being our photographer Ieva; we know who we're calling when we head back for our vow renewals one day!

    We absolutely love the wedding photos Ieva did for our Edinburgh elopement. The pictures are stunning! She listened to our ideas and had wonderful suggestions. As an American planning a wedding in a foreign country her input was invaluable. She had great suggestions for photo locations and was always willing to listen to our ideas. We could not be more satisfied.

    We are so lucky to have found Ieva to capture our two wedding day celebrations. She is such a talented photographer and made us feel so relaxed in front of the camera. Her work ethic and attention to detail throughout the whole process were fantastic, which both my husband and I appreciated so much. The photos we got in the end are simply perfect, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer!

    Planning a wedding is a very stressful thing and planning one in a completely different country is even more so. When we found Ieva she made that process so much easier! She was super helpful and even helped us find the perfect place (twice) after the first spot had unfortunately closed down. If you’re looking for a photographer, look no more. We can’t recommend her enough and the photos turned out amazing!!

    If you need a wedding photographer in Edinburgh or around Scotland, hands down, Ieva is your photographer! Ieva was so accommodating and easy to work with. She gave us lots of great tips before the day as we just came in from Fiji and weren't very familiar with the Edinburgh area.

    When it came to the shoot, everything felt so natural and chill. My husband and I have never done a shoot before, but she made us feel like pro models! And her work speaks for itself. Her photos brought out our personalities and the joy of our special day. Ours was a city elopement and it was absolutely perfect - the photos portray that perfectly. Vinaka vakalevu (Thank you very much), Ieva Marija Photography.
