For Rithi & Nikhil, this shoot was “an ode to our relationship and to create something meaningful that would truly represent us and the city that brought us together. Walking through the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh, Lothian bus rides from the university to Princess Street for coffee, cakes and long walks through Edinburgh’s most iconic locations are some really nostalgic moments for us.” It was so lovely spending time with these two, who have such a nostalgic connection to Edinburgh, and capturing all the simple but meaningful things they love to do together.⁣

I’m using this time away from shooting to revisit weddings from over the last year, and this relaxed Autumn wedding at still makes me smile whenever I think back to it. Here are some kind words from Jamie & Fraser..⁣

⁣”We had the pleasure of working with Lina for our intimate wedding last month in Perthshire and she was everything we could have hoped for. I have followed Lina’s work for a long time and have always been moved by the way she captures a couple’s love along with the Scottish landscape. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣On the wedding day Lina made us feel so at ease (for people who are quite awkward about having their pictures taken!). ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣We received the full album less than a month after our wedding which was incredible. The photos are breathtaking. My husband and I got so emotional looking through the album just seeing how well we were captured on the day. Our friends and family are obsessed with the photos as well!”⁣

Summer Weddings // I’m often asked which months of the year the highlands go from muted Winter colours back to green, and June + July are the months I recommend for those wanting to embrace a Summer wedding. Like any day in Scotland, it could be rain or sunshine, but there’s something really special about the wildflowers, vibrant greens, and the feeling of everything in all its beauty after a long Winter. Here are some moments from Maria & Giulio’s intimate wedding in the glorious green landscape last Summer.⁣ 🌿

Sweet moments from this seaside elopement with // For many couples I meet, the mountains are the first landscape that comes to mind when they think of Scotland, but there are so many other gems and locations on offer for those looking for something a little bit different. The sound of the ocean and birds overheard drew G&A to this quiet little corner of Scotland. ⁣

Anniversary day for these two // Tabatha & Ben travelled across the world from Australia to get married in the highlands. From tears during their first look to the sun breaking through the clouds for the very last few minutes of the day, their day was full of emotion and breathtaking backdrops. ⁣

Lynn & Arno’s vision for their day revolved around the mountains - a symbol of their relationship and adventures over the years together. Their first trip together was to Scotland, where they jokingly said they would be back for their wedding one day. 9 years later, that’s what they did! From a warm 18-degree start to the day with their beloved dog Appa, to sleeting rain and snow-capped mountains. Scotland is always full of beautiful, unexpected surprises, which I think is part of what makes getting married here so memorable.⁣

With the wonderful team

Taking photos in Edinburgh feels like being on a movie set - the cobblestone streets, hidden alleyways, historic buildings, and atmosphere of the city never lose their charm for me. It was the perfect setting for Rebecca & Adam’s romantic city couples shoot. 🤍

Rebecca & Adam’s vision for this shoot was to capture a romantic morning in Edinburgh, exploring the streets and visiting their bucket-list locations. I always love seeing Scotland through the eyes of couples seeing it for the first time. Whilst it never loses its charm for me, it’s a reminder of how incredible it is to live and work in this country and to share its beauty with others.⁣

In a place where the Winters can feel long, the coming of Spring in Scotland feels extra special. The gentle breeze that tingles your skin, the aroma and sight of blossoming trees, the echo of bird song and the feeling of new beginnings.⁣ 🌼

I know that many of the couples I work with find the thought of being in front of the camera a little overwhelming. My approach on a wedding day is to bring a calm, relaxed energy that lets you feel like yourselves. I’ve learnt to be as unobtrusive as possible, whilst still giving you gentle guidance and direction when needed. I wanted to share some of the sweet words from Jenna & Adam, who felt at ease having their day documented..
⁣⁣
⁣”Lina was amazing throughout the whole process, from when we initially reached out through to the wedding day itself. Lina was incredibly helpful, recommending celebrants, locations, flowers and food. On the run up to the wedding, Lina stayed in touch and gave ideas for beautiful locations to take pictures in.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣As two people who are usually very camera shy, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease from the very beginning.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣My husband and I wanted to encapsulate nature into our wedding, we’re both avid lovers of the outdoors. Lina’s photos perfectly captured our love and the beautiful Scottish landscapes incredibly. These photos will be treasured by us always.”⁣
