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 also a full-time IT Engineer, 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.
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, experimentation, and a deep desire to capture meaningful moments. For me, photography isn’t just about beautiful images; it’s about freezing a moment in time that someone 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, to reflect God’s creativity and love, and to help others see themselves through a lens of grace and truth. 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’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.
Thanks for being here - I can’t wait to meet you!
