A helpful guide to your Scottish adventure

No. 01

What to wear

There is no dress code. There are just a few things the camera notices before you do.

Comfort first

Wear outfits you feel comfortable and confident in. If you spend the session adjusting it, it shows.

Earthy tones

Neutral and earthy colours photograph beautifully against Scotland’s landscapes.

Skip the logos

Large logos, busy patterns and neon pull the eye away from the two of you.

Coordinate, don’t match

Outfits that share a palette look better than outfits that twin.

Pack a layer

Scottish weather changes its mind quickly. An extra layer never goes to waste.

Walkable shoes

Some locations are a short walk in. Bring the pretty shoes to change into when we arrive.

No. 02

What to bring

A small bag covers it.

Water, and lip balm for the wind.

A hairbrush or comb, and a small mirror.

Any props that mean something to you: flowers, a blanket, a bottle of champagne.

Dogs are very welcome on your shoot. Just let us know your furry friend is joining.

These are suggestions, not homework.

No. 03

Weather

If rain is forecast, don’t worry. Some of Scotland’s most magical photographs are made in mist and light rain.

If the weather turns unsafe, high winds or severe rain, we’ll talk about rescheduling.

No. 04

Meeting point

Please arrive ten minutes early.

We’ll send the exact meeting location before your session.

Running late? Let us know as soon as you can.

No. 05

Special occasion?

Tell us beforehand and we’ll help make it extra special.

Proposing
An anniversary
Your honeymoon
A birthday

Planning a proposal? We are very good at keeping secrets.

No. 06

Don’t worry about posing

“Most couples tell us they feel awkward in front of a camera. That’s completely normal.”

We guide you through the whole session with simple prompts and natural poses, so you can relax and enjoy each other.

If you have inspiration pictures saved, send them over. We love seeing the vision you have!
