“Engagement photography captures the essence of your love story, providing cherished memories before your wedding day. It fosters a connection between you and your photographer, easing camera shyness. The images serve as beautiful mementoes and can be used to enhance wedding invitations and save-the-date cards. It’s an opportunity to showcase personalities and create timeless, romantic photos”.

A collection of wedding photos is an incredible investment which you can treasure long into the future.
But these photos only tell part of your love story.
What are pre-wedding photos?
Pre-wedding engagement photos, sometimes called an ‘e-shoot’, ‘lifestyle photos’ or ‘engagement photography session’, are some of our favourite shoots with couples.
Most couples haven’t ever had their photos taken during a professional photoshoot, which can initially seem daunting to the uninitiated.
Rather than wait until your big day, a pre-wedding photoshoot means we meet for an hour or two for a relaxed, informal photo session as a warm-up for the main event.
As we’re photographers based in Edinburgh, we usually meet our couples in or around the Edinburgh area.
We’ve covered pre-wedding photo sessions at almost every location you can imagine.
Leafy parks and gardens, castles, woodland trails and beaches.
We’re very lucky in the Edinburgh area to have such a wide and varied range of locations and backdrops right on our doorstep!
We usually have about 20 – 30 minutes to shoot the newlywed photos on your wedding day.
During our engagement photography shoot, we won’t have a wedding breakfast (wedding meal) deadline to keep an eye on, so we can shoot photos relaxed and find out what kind of poses work for you.
Importantly, we’ll find out what doesn’t work for you!
This means that on your wedding day, we’ll spend our limited time together shooting photos that we know will look fantastic.
The engagement photo session is also a great opportunity for us to get to know each other a little better.
We guarantee you’ll leave our brief time together feeling totally relaxed about the photo aspect of your big day.
As a bonus, you’ll receive all of your pre-wedding photos from our shoot via the same download link as your wedding photos.
An excellent way to look back on the days leading up to the best day of your life!
A spectacular engagement photoshoot will provide you with a vivid reminder of those wonderful times which preceded the big day itself – and will serve as an ‘opening chapter’ to the rest of your adventure together.
How much are engagement photos?
Why not get yourself our brilliant engagement photography special offer?
The engagement photo session costs just £349.
Our engagement photos upgrade provides a wonderful opportunity to experience a photoshoot before your wedding day.
The photoshoot usually takes place in or around Edinburgh and The Lothians.
However, the photo session is available to couples getting married anywhere in Scotland (travel expenses may apply for shoots outside of Edinburgh and The Lothians; ask for details).
We’ll meet for approximately one hour to determine which poses work for you and, perhaps more importantly, which don’t.
The emphasis is on natural photos of the two of you.
Directions on how to pose are provided (nothing weird or wacky, we promise!), and a varied selection of natural, candid shots are included.
This ensures that we make the most of our limited time together on your wedding day.
Ideally, our engagement photoshoot will take place approximately two months before your wedding day, ensuring what we learn is still fresh in our memories by the time your big day arrives!
Your engagement photography shoot is fun, and you receive every one of your gorgeous photos in colour plus black and white.
