Pre-wedding photography photos
Below is a selection of my favourite photos of this delightful couple, taken at their pre-wedding photography shoot in Edinburgh’s beautiful Inverleith Park, near the Botanic Gardens.
Why have pre-wedding photos?
Shooting pre-wedding photography outdoors at Inverleith Park on a sunny day in Edinburgh is pure magic.
Nestled in the city’s heart, the park offers a stunning mix of natural beauty and iconic Edinburgh charm, making it an idyllic backdrop for capturing love stories.
Imagine the golden sunlight filtering through the park’s lush trees, creating natural highlights that bring warmth and depth to every shot.
The shimmering pond reflects the couple’s joy, while the distant views of Edinburgh Castle add a touch of grandeur and romance to the scene.
The well-kept gardens, open green spaces, and bursts of seasonal blooms offer endless opportunities for variety in your images, whether you’re after playful, candid moments or dreamy, intimate portraits.
Pre-wedding shoots in such a picturesque setting aren’t just about stunning photos—they’re about building trust and connection with the couple.
This relaxed session lets you understand their personalities, natural chemistry, and how they respond to direction.
For couples, it’s a chance to feel comfortable in front of the camera, easing their nerves about being photographed on the big day.
Inverleith Park’s serene outdoor atmosphere encourages couples to be themselves—laughing, embracing, or simply strolling hand in hand.
These authentic moments translate into beautiful, heartfelt images that tell their unique story.
Plus, the experience of working together in a setting as gorgeous as this fosters confidence and excitement for the wedding day.
The sunny backdrop and Edinburgh’s unique vibe add a timeless quality to every frame.
From wide shots of the rolling landscape to close-ups against vibrant greenery, every photo brims with romance and energy.
Pre-wedding shoots here are not just a preparation—they’re a celebration, setting the tone for a wedding gallery full of joy, love, and unforgettable memories.
Our photo session
Clare and Craig are due to get married at Edinburgh’s prestigious George Hotel later in the year.
You might wonder about the point of doing a photoshoot before the wedding day.
Most couples have not experienced having their photo taken in any professional capacity, so it is natural to feel a little bit apprehensive or nervous about what happens on the day.
The pre-wedding photoshoot allows all of our couples to meet, take photos, and chat about what happens on the wedding day.
As a bonus, you receive all the photos and your wedding photos as a download. All images are supplied in rich, full colour plus evocative black and white.
I enjoy doing a pre-wedding photography shoot at Inverleith Park as it is a spacious setting with many beautiful backdrops.
A favourite place is just above the pond, which offers beautiful views across the city centre with Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town in the background.
From this photoshoot at Inverleith Park, I know Clare and Craig’s wedding day will be fun, relaxed and a pleasure to photograph.
Clare and Craig are a laid-back and happy couple, making my role thoroughly enjoyable.
**Update** Since this pre-wedding post was written, Clare and Craig were married at The George Hotel!
