A pre wedding photoshoot in East Lothian

I met with Kitty and Josh on a bright monday morning, we took a lovely stroll through the woods whilst getting to know each other. I am photographing their Scottish Wedding at Hopetoun House , this was a wonderful opportunity to get to know each other and for them to get comfortable in front of the camera.

Photographing Love

Having photographs taken ahead of your wedding allows you to get used to the feeling of being photographed. To most people, being photographed by a professional is not something you do often, if at all. Therefore it can feel a little unusual. Like most things, the more you do it, the easier it can feel and more you enjoy it. My advice is to take your time, enjoy the moment and enjoy being close with each other. Look at each other and think about all the amazing times you've spent together. Enjoy some quiet time with nothing else to think about apart from your love.

Movement Creates Joy

When I am photographing a couple I am looking to capture quiet and beautiful images. I am also wanted to create images of happiness and joy for you. Movement helps to create laughter and joyful emotions.

We explored the area and got to know each other along the way. After the photos we popped along to a cafe, had a coffee and chatted about their wedding plans. I can't wait photographer their wedding when it comes around.
