CIA Photography offers a full photographic service including weddings, portraits, commercial, school and graduation photography. We can take on just about any type of photographic work so please do not hesitate to contact us with any queries you may have.

Although based in Dumbarton, Colin regularly photographs weddings in and around the Glasgow area and further afield.
Colin's years of experience working in the photographic industry and alongside fellow photographers inspired him to put this extensive photographic knowledge to good use when he created CIA photography in 2004.
With a passion for the photographic profession backed with a real love of the banter, Colin helps people feel relaxed and safe in the knowledge that their memories will be recorded in the best possible style.
"Colin was very friendly and obliging and made us and everyone who attended our wedding feel at ease. Every photograph that Colin had taken was outstanding, we were so happy with them. It was such a hard job to pick the final 30 photos for our main album. We would like to thank Colin very much for his exceptional quality in service. We were so lucky to have him as our wedding photographer and we highly recommend Colin to any couple getting married."
