I’m Gabby, the founder of the MCC!
When I moved to Scotland in 2020, I knew I wanted to bring my decade of photography experience to my new home—but it had to be something extraordinary. Scotland’s magic, folklore, and breathtaking landscapes are unlike anywhere else in the world. From its whimsical charm to its incredible architecture, this country inspires stories, and I wanted our sessions to capture all of that.
My love for cinematic imagery and the feeling you get from diving into a favorite fantasy novel (ACOTAR fans, I see you 👀) led to the creation of Main Character Moment Sessions. These shoots are designed to bring out the magic in you while blending it seamlessly with the enchantment of Scotland’s surroundings.
Since launching in early 2023, the MCC experience has grown beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve been fortunate to train three talented photographers and a brilliant videographer to join our team, each one dedicated to capturing the essence of your story in their unique way and bringing Main Character magic to life.
Thank you so much for being here. My team and I can’t wait to create something unforgettable with you.
