A Little About Me

Hey! I’m Adrian - the heart behind Lumens & Grace Photography. I’m a devoted Christian, a husband to my incredible wife, and a proud dad of two amazing kids. I’m a lifelong nerd, and someone who finds real joy in the simple things – a strong coffee, a scenic drive, and time spent with the people I love most. With a background in IT Engineering, I bring a technical precision to my work, but my heart is entirely in the storytelling.

Photography wasn’t something I trained for formally—it grew from curiosity, then quickly into obsession, and finally into purpose. I’m completely self-taught, learning through experience and a deep desire to capture meaningful moments. Based in West Lothian, I find so much inspiration travelling throughout Edinburgh, the Lothians, and across Scotland to tell these stories. For me, photography isn’t just about beautiful images; it’s about freezing a moment in time that you can look back on and feel all over again.

My faith plays a central role in everything I do – including my photography. As a Christian, I believe that every person is fearfully and wonderfully made, uniquely created by God with a story that matters. That belief shapes the way I approach every shoot. I see photography as more than just art – it’s a calling to notice the beauty in people and creation, and to reflect God’s creativity and love.

The name Lumens & Grace was born from this very idea: Lumens, the light I seek out in every image, and Grace, the heart behind how I see my clients and their stories. I know that being on the other side of the lens can feel a bit vulnerable, so my focus is always on making you feel comfortable and valued. I’m not just there to "get the shot"; I want to help you see yourself through that same lens of grace, so you can relax, be yourself, and actually enjoy the process of telling your story.

I’m also a bit of a geek. Okay – a lot of a geek. I grew up watching anime, reading manga, and trading Pokémon cards on the school playground, to name a few (sadly, I no longer have my collection). Those interests are a big part of who I am – they taught me to see the world through a lens of wonder, creativity, and nostalgia. They often find their way into my work, especially when photographing families, children, and fellow nerds at heart.

When not editing photos or working in tech, I love jumping in the car with my family and hitting the road – whether it’s a quick countryside drive or a weekend adventure, I find peace behind the wheel and inspiration in new places.

I’m based in West Lothian, Scotland, and I regularly serve clients in Edinburgh, the Lothians, Glasgow, and anywhere else life (or a good cup of coffee) takes me. Whether it’s a local session in the Scottish hills or a wedding further afield, I bring the same passion, energy, and attention to detail to every shoot.
