The thistle, Scotland’s national flower, symbolizes courage and devotion. I’ve seen it blooming in every corner of the world I’ve traveled - a reminder of strength, beauty, and wild resilience. Combined with my love for forests and mountains, “Thistle & Wood” became the perfect reflection of who I am and how I photograph stories. 

I’m a mountain-lover at heart, most myself in cold air, quiet woods, and every wild corner of God’s creation. Nature has always been my anchor, and photography is the way He lets me pour light and beauty back into others. Capturing love stories - honest, growing, and full of meaning - is one of the greatest gifts of my life.

Thistle & Wood Photo grew from my love of wild landscapes and the grounding beauty of Scotland. In 2018, I knew my brand needed a name that held more depth - something rooted in nature, story, and creation.
