Passionate. Creative. Easy-going.

Hey! My name is David.

I’m delighted you have found yourself on my page; hopefully you have come across something different?

“Glasgow-based, non-traditional wedding photographer David Ruff.

If you’re wanting to edge into the alternative we’ll be chatting about David’s approach to being a non-traditional wedding photographer, about his journey to award-winning stardom, and his thoughts on life expectations... ”

I have a passion for being creative. This was initially expressed through music, but after picking up my first camera back in 2015 I started on a new creative journey involving photography. It has changed my life, as it gives me an outlet, a place to express myself.

I always push to create something unique and personal for every single one of my couples. It keeps me motivated! My goal is to create pieces of art that you can proudly hang on your walls to look back on for a lifetime because let’s face it, once it’s all said and done, these memories are the only thing you can look back on to relive your day.

I have a very non-traditional, storytelling style. Music & film are a huge influence in my work. Think of me as the director behind the camera looking to capture my cinematic vision of your day, If you want to look like two rockstar newlyweds on the front of some record cover that resembles something you have seen in your dad’s old vinyls collection, then we should probably work together!

For me, a wedding is all about the story from start to finish, no cheesy posing and endless group shots. I'm interested in capturing the natural flow of the day - those unexpected moments that tell the real story and the connection between friends and family.

Be yourself, relax and enjoy your day, and let me do the rest. If you both feel slightly unnatural with a camera lens in front of your face, ( which is 100% normal ) don’t worry…. what I always say is embrace the awkwardness!! With a bit of direction you’ll be absolutely fine, trust me! And let’s not forget it’s really just about a huge celebration about two people in love, having the best party with friends and family!!

I love outdoor weddings, and I get inspired by unusual venues. So if you're planning something adventurous like an elopement up the side of a mountain in Scotland or to the rustic scenery of Italy, I will be in my element. So far, I have been very lucky to photograph weddings in Las Vegas & Sorrento, and all over the UK. My passion is travel, and there are really no limits to where I will travel to be a part of your awesome day!

If this all sounds good to you, please contact me & let’s hang out!
