Event Photography covering Aberdeen and the Shire

Welcome to Iska Birnie Photography, your dedicated event photographer in the North-East of Scotland. Events are all about documenting moments in time – I’d love to capture and preserve those moments and memories for you.

When it comes to event photography, I understand the importance of seizing that one golden opportunity to capture the magic as it unfolds. Whatever the occasion, I’ve got the experience to transform those moments into captivating images, with a creative flair.

Whether you are looking for a photographer to cover your awards dinner, conference, sporting event, charity ball, or anything in between. I’d be delighted to be part of it and capture every moment.

Every event is as unique as the people it brings together, and that’s my favourite part. Ahead of your event, we have a chat to ensure that I understand your vision. Together, we’ll create a plan to capture all the must-have shots.

Maybe it’s crucial to show off your sponsors, or perhaps the real focus is catching your guests having a great time. Whatever your goal, we’ll work together to ensure your event’s success, creating a visual story, and leaving a lasting impression.

Why book a professional event photographer?

Event Photography matters

Professional Quality

In today’s world, nearly everyone has a camera phone in their pocket, but professional event photography goes beyond snapshots. It’s all about showcasing the essence and atmosphere of the event. Imagine all the action, emotions, and candid moments captured in stunning detail.

Guest Engagement

Well-captured event photography evokes emotions and memories. When attendees see the images, they remember the event’s highlights. They also often share professional photos on their social media profiles, which generates excitement and interest among their connections, further extending the reach of your event.

Marketing Material

Event photos are valuable marketing assets, the images are highly engaging and can convey a lot of information in a single image. They capture the essence of the event, helping viewers to connect with the experience. Event photos can also feature your brand’s signage and key staff, enhancing brand visibility and recognition.

My Approach to Event Photography

My focus and aim is to tell your event’s unique story through images, capturing the atmosphere and feel of your event. Whether they are corporate gatherings, sporting events, or personal milestones, I understand the significance and will ensure that no important moments are missed. Here’s how I work:

Consultation

Our partnership begins with a consultation. I’ll take the time to understand the nature of your event, your goals, and the moments you want to capture. We’ll discuss your vision and any specific shots you have in mind.

Coverage

On the day of your event, I’ll be there as long as you want me to, capturing every moment, from the smallest details to the grandest gestures. My goal is to ensure that nothing is missed.

Candid Moments

While posed shots are of course important, I also love capturing candid moments. These unscripted, authentic interactions, smiles, and emotions often result in some of the best photographs.

Quick Turnaround

I understand that you’re eager to see your event photographs. I’ll work diligently to provide you with your final images promptly, so you can start using the images soon after your event finishes.

Remember, in the world of event photography, you only have ONE SHOT to get it right.
Trust me to be your creative eye, capturing every important moment of your event.
Let’s make your event a collection of storytelling images!

The Working Puppy Company

Iska provided a professional bespoke service from start to finish. She captured our business’ core values, the personality of our trainers and dogs, our branding and the facilities perfectly. The visual impact of Iska’s photography has made a huge impact on both my website and social media. I would very much recommend her to anyone looking to create a professional and personal impression of their business.

I hired Iska to take photos at a live event I was running. The photos were phenomenal, they completely captured the essence of the event, and we’ve been able to use them repeatedly in marking material. I continue to bring Iska into projects I’m involved with and really appreciate her professional, gentle yet assertive approach to our working relationship. She has an incredible ability to find solutions to create the best results. From big public events to animals large and small and those tricky profile shots, Iska really makes you feel at ease.

Understanding your uniqueness is vital for every business or personal brand. As a writer, I find it easy to express it in words, but images are different. Therefore, finding the photographer, who really understands me, was essential. We all have our insecurities when it comes to being in front of the camera, things you’d like to hide, not to showcase. Working with Iska was easy. It put me at ease. I liked the feeling of being prepared. I liked how she is honest and encouraging at the same time. I’ve worked with her three times now, and we always have loads of fun. And it shows. I get a lot of compliments for my photos, and I proudly announce the person behind them.

I could not recommend Iska enough. She photographed our furbaby Ralphie as a puppy and at a year old. It’s hard to convey in words just how beautiful the images that Iska took are! Iska is lovely and easy to get along with, we really gelled with her and have now even booked her for our wedding!

Iska is a fantastic photographer, she made the process great fun from start to finish. I have used her for both equine and dog sessions and the ideas she has are brilliant. Most recently she photographed my German Shepherd Eddie in Aberdeen and the photos are beautiful.

My daughter Tamzin and I had the pleasure of seeing Iska working her magic during our photo session with our horse Buster. We would certainly recommend Iska, she is a very professional and talented photographer, lots of patience too. We just adore the photos she took of our boy Buster.

I recently had some brand photography done with Iska and I cannot recommend her enough. She completely put me at ease in front of the camera and made the whole experience fun. Iska took the time to get to know about myself and my business and as a result the photos completely reflect my message I want to send to potential clients.

Realising that I needed more headshots and images for my website and for marketing materials, it was a no-brainer to contact Iska again. The time frame was tight and Iska went out of her way to accommodate me. It was a chilly day in Tarland but unphased by this Iska managed to capture shots of me outdoors as well as setting up my healing room as a temporary studio!
The collaboration between myself, Iska and my graphics designer worked really well, and the results speak for themselves. Once again a really enjoyable experience with Iska.

Dog Photography

Iska had the ultimate challenge photographing my labradors (all five of them) on a snowy day in December. She captured some amazing images which I will now treasure for years to come. It’s clear to see how much time and dedication she puts into her work from the unique quality of her photographs. Extremely professional service who I would highly recommend.

Rolling Stock Trailers

We sell catering trailers. Iska’s brief was to visit a picturesque harbour location where our customer has a lobster shop and has done a magnificent job of branding the unit. Our purpose in engaging Iska was to get shots that showed off the functional aspects of the units and to highlight the imaginative branding as an inspiration to other customers. Iska took in the brief and produced some great images we are using on social media, our website, and other promotional materials. Thanks, Iska, for taking the care to produce on-brief, commercially usable images.

Livia Bonadio
The Times

I am a picture editor with a national newspaper and found Iska online when looking for photographers in Aberdeen for a last-minute shoot. She’s been in our books ever since! She’s great to work with: reliable, professional, and her work is certainly at the high standard we expect in the industry.

Chloe Cheung
Dandara Living Management

I needed to organise last-minute headshots for our team in Aberdeen and, despite us being based in different locations, Iska made the whole process incredibly easy. We had already worked with a different photographer for some of our other photos and after sharing those with her, she matched the look and feel perfectly. Communication was quick and clear throughout, even during a particularly busy period, and the headshots turned out fantastic. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Iska.
