Professional Event & Landscape Photography

Dedicated event coverage and bespoke landscape prints tailored to you.

My Approach

ABCassidy Photography is a Glasgow-based photography service operated by Alistair Cassidy, offering professional event and landscape photography. Established in 2014, I provide reliable, high-quality photographic coverage for a wide range of events, including weddings, concerts, conferences, and private parties. I approach every assignment with attention to detail and a commitment to capturing key moments clearly and effectively.

Beyond event work, I offer a curated selection of landscape images. These pieces are available as fine art prints for anyone looking to bring a striking view of Scotland, or further afield, into their home or workspace. Whether I am documenting a major event or producing individual prints, my goal is to deliver consistent, professional results tailored to your specific requirements.

If you have an upcoming event, are interested in a particular image, or simply have a question, please feel free to get in touch.

Capturing the Rhythm: Why 2026 is My Year for a Fresh Start!
Capturing the Rhythm: Why 2026 is My Year for a Fresh Start!

It feels strange talking about it being a new year as I sit here in the middle of February, but that is exactly what it feels like. Every calendar year, for me, starts with Celtic Connections, Glasgow’s massive winter festival of traditional, World, and all sorts of other music too. It is an eclectic mixing bowl of culture and energy, and both a great opportunity for me, as a freelance photographer, to be busy and productive, and also a time of great pressure to be busy and productive - a time where I almost feel that I have to justify myself as a working photographer.
