Hosting an event in Glasgow? Based in Bishopbriggs, I’m Pete Copeland, experienced in capturing conferences, award nights, trade shows, live music and corporate team days across Glasgow city centre and surrounding areas.

You get select images within an hour and the full set within 24. A half day (up to 4 hours) is £500 and a full day (8 hours) is £900.

Events I've covered
I photographed an Economist Impact panel on brain health at the Crowne Plaza Glasgow, and PR photography at the Hydro for Star Sixes. I've photographed for the Glasgow Film Theatre and Glasgow Film Festival, and I've been lead photographer for TEDx Glasgow. In Edinburgh, I photographed The Lens investment day for Alzheimer Scotland.
I also spent a practice day inside the ropes at The Open 2025 at Royal Portrush through Nikon UK's Beyond the Ropes programme.
What to tell me before the day
Send me the running order, who has to be photographed, which sponsors or brands need to be seen, and what the pictures are for. If you need set pieces, like an award presentation or a group photo, put them in the brief.
If your team's together for the event, I can also set up a mobile studio at your office or venue for team headshots.
