Islay Wedding Photography by Ben Shakespeare
Hi, I’m Ben. I’m here to capture awe-inspiring images of your Islay wedding.
I help couples capture the destination wedding photography they’ve always dreamt of. Images that capture the heart of the Islay experience.
Islay is an amazing location!!!
A stunning, varied landscape of hills, oceans, sunsets and of course, the world famous whisky distilleries! Islay is the perfect place for an elopement, destination wedding; or a photoshoot of your engagement, honeymoon, proposal and more.
You need a photographer who knows how to get the best out of this dramatic and gorgeous island - there’s no room for ordinary images here!
Located in the heart of Islay, I’m perfectly situated to capture the island escape of your dreams.
Who is My Islay Wedding?
I’m Ben, the person behind My Islay Wedding. I live on Islay, I love Islay life and I love to photograph Islay Weddings!
You’ll often find me photographing in my wellies - going anywhere and everywhere to capture that perfect angle of you and the Islay backdrop.
I love to get to know my couples - I can work out where, when and how to get your perfect Islay images.
The light and the landscape (and the weather!) change so often, having someone who knows this location is priceless.

I love photographing the Islay landscape, and am more than happy to help you decide on the perfect location for your special day. I make sure we have plenty of time to chat about what you love (and don’t) and I adore a pre-wedding shoot! Why not get in touch and we can work out if we’re the right fit for each other?
“Ben was wonderful to work with, friendly and accomodating in both communication and delivery.
I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you Ben!”
