“Engagement photos capture the essence of your love story, providing cherished memories before your wedding day. It fosters a connection between you and your photographer, easing any camera shyness. The photos 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, the perfect precursor to creating the very best relaxed wedding photography“.

Zoe and Billy – married at Dundas Castle, Edinburghwouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!

Jonathon and Claire are the loviest couple.. from our very first communication they made us feel special and were so interested in who we are as people! They tailored everything just for us, and had they not radiated such beauty and kindness, we wouldn’t have even known they were there… and for two people like us who HATE getting photos taken, we had a great time and felt so comfortable!

We got married on 31st December, and they gave up their own celebrations with their families to help us capture ours...

We truly hit the jackpot, and wouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!

Please don’t pass up the opportunity on having these two look after your special day! Very trustworthy and fantastic value for money.

Manari and Andrew – married at Carlowrie Castle, EdinburghThe photos are simply stunning

We were absolutely blown away by the wedding photos Jonathon and Claire captured for us! They have an incredible talent for capturing emotions and all the special details, which has allowed us to relive our wedding day in the most magical way. The photos are simply stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.

From the very beginning, Jonathon and Claire made us feel comfortable and supported. Their professionalism and creativity shone through in every shot, and they even did a special edit for us at no extra charge, which was truly above and beyond. This extra effort made the photos feel even more personal and meaningful.

Thank you for being such an important part of our special day, Jonathon and Claire! We will cherish these photos forever. Highly recommend!

What are engagement photos?

Engagement photography is an incredible investment which you can treasure long into the future.

But these engagement photos only tell part of your love story.

A spectacular engagement photoshoot will vividly remind you of the wonderful times that preceded the big day and will serve as an ‘opening chapter’ to the rest of your adventure.

Engagement photos, sometimes called an ‘e-shoot’, ‘lifestyle photos’, ‘pre-wedding photos’, ‘engagement photography session’, are some of our favourite photo sessions 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 photographers based in Edinburgh, we meet our couples in or around the Edinburgh and Lothian area to shoot engagement photos.

Phillip and Rick at Calton Hill: Two men stand side by side on a grassy hill, with a blurred cityscape and historic buildings in the background. One wears a green jacket, and the other wears a black jacket. They both smile at the camera.

Engagement photos session at Arthur's Seat - Jon and Mandy: Two people stand on a rocky outcrop overlooking a vast grassy landscape with a distant city skyline under a cloudy sky.

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 fortunate in the Edinburgh area to have a wide and varied range of locations and backdrops on our doorstep!

During our engagement photography shoot, we’ll relax and show you how to get the best shots on your wedding day.

This means that on your big day, we’ll spend our limited time together shooting photos that we know will look fantastic.

The engagement photo session is also an excellent opportunity to get to know each other better.

We guarantee you’ll leave our brief time together feeling relaxed about the photo aspect of your big day.

As a bonus, you’ll receive all 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!
