Pre-wedding photoshoot at Arthur’s Seat, Holyrood Park, with Jon and Mandy

Welcome to Jon and Mandy’s pre-wedding photoshoot at Arthur’s Seat gallery of photos.

Being a photographer means I get to shoot photos in some pretty cool locations.

However, doing a pre-wedding photoshoot on imposing Arthur’s Seat is always great due to the beautiful cityscape backdrop.

I’ve done many pre-wedding photoshoots in and around Edinburgh, but this location was extra special for Jon and Mandy.

Jon proposed to Mandy at St Margaret’s Loch, at the bottom of this famous Edinburgh landmark.

Mandy said yes, so there was no doubt about where today’s photo shoot would take place!

It was one of the windiest photo shoots I’ve been on, but it was worth the effort.

We started our photoshoot at St. Margaret’s Loch and then went up the steep slopes to the old ruin.

This area can be very busy with tourists, but the high winds seemed to deter all but the most determined sightseers.

The view of Edinburgh was fantastic and such a beautiful backdrop for many of the photos.

It’s well worth getting ourselves and the photographic equipment up the steep slopes!

After a couple of hours, we had an excellent selection of photos.

It was great spending time with Jon and Mandy in preparation for their forthcoming wedding at the wonderful Surgeons’ Hall in Edinburgh city centre.

Thanks to Jon and Mandy for braving the elements for this pre-wedding photoshoot at Arthur’s Seat.

I do not doubt that their wedding day will be terrific fun to photograph, and thankfully, the weather won’t affect us.

Surgeons’ Hall is perfect for shooting beautiful wedding photos indoors. It has plenty of space and a wonderful interior backdrop.

**Since I created this blog post, I’ve photographed Jona and Mandy’s wedding day, which you can see here.
