Exploring Calton Hill in Edinburgh

There’s something magical about Calton Hill—one of Edinburgh’s most iconic spots and a favourite location for couple photo sessions. Whether it’s an early morning engagement shoot, a proposal, or just a relaxed portrait session after the wedding, this hill never disappoints. With panoramic views over the city on a sunny day with sun flares in the lens or cloudy skies, and a mix of historic and natural backdrops, it’s a fantastic setting for capturing genuine, emotional moments between couples. I’ve been lucky to photograph some truly lovely people here—and every session feels a little bit different, shaped by their story.
