Luxury Wedding Photographer of the Year 2023 - 2026

UK TOP 100 Wedding Photographer
Trusted by leading wedding planners and Scotland and Europe’s most prestigious heritage venues, Jill Cherry Porter is a luxury wedding photographer based in Scotland, known for atmospheric, editorial imagery and a calm, unobtrusive presence.
As a destination wedding photographer across Scotland, the UK and Europe, Jill's work is sought out by couples drawn to historic estates, meaningful celebration and images that feel both refined and deeply human.
Her work is shaped by a calm presence, an intuitive eye for atmosphere, and a deep appreciation for the way a wedding day feels to experience — beyond what can simply be seen.
With over 15 years of experience, Jill creates timeless imagery that preserves the essence of a celebration: the energy of a room, the movement of light through a space, and the emotion held within fleeting, often unnoticed moments.
Her work has been featured in British Vogue and Vanity Fair, and she is a four-time consecutive recipient of Scotland’s Luxury Wedding Photography Service of the Year 2023–2026 at the Prestige Awards UK.
Working alongside some of the UK and Europe’s most respected creative teams, she is trusted for her calm, unobtrusive approach and the ease she brings.
John Berger once wrote, “What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.” It is this delicate balance — between what is seen and what is felt — that continues to shape Jill’s work, transforming fleeting moments into photographs with lasting emotional resonance.
Inspired by heritage architecture, art, travel and the human stories held within them, Jill’s work is deeply influenced by atmosphere, light and a sense of place.
When not photographing weddings across Scotland, the UK and Europe, she is most often found at home in rural Scotland cooking, painting, exploring the countryside with her husband and their two golden cocker spaniels, or quietly gathering inspiration for future work.

what shapes my work
01
place
Scotland — for its depth, history, and sense of quiet permanence. Italy — for its light, its rhythm, and the way time seems to soften. I’m most inspired by landscapes that invite stillness rather than spectacle.
02
PACE
Buying lamps. Watching Downton Abbey, Friends or Frasier reruns. And my homemade, organic chocolate brownies.
03
HOME
Warm light. Thoughtful details. A sense of calm that makes space for connection. The environments we inhabit shape how we remember — this is close to my heart.
04
PRESENCE
My husband, Matt, and our two golden cocker spaniels, Poppy and Bella. Balance and time spent in beautiful places matter most for us.
05
details
The in-between moments. The glances, pauses and subtle exchanges between a couple as their day unfolds — fleeting and unplanned, yet quietly at the heart of every wedding.
Slow mornings. Long lunches. Evenings that unfold without agenda. The kind of pace that allows moments to be felt and remembered.
JILL CHERRY COUPLES
My clients are seekers of beauty .
— drawn to travel, thoughtful design, and wedding days that are felt as much as they are seen.
They value photography that honours atmosphere, connection, and the subtle in-between — images that will be cherished for generations, not for how they impress, but for how they feel.
For couples planning refined weddings at home or abroad.
