Edinburgh iconic locations for romantic couple photo sessions

For me, photographing couples here in Edinburgh never feels like “just a session.” It’s about creating a small adventure together, capturing genuine moments that feel true to you — whether you’re celebrating an engagement, planning a surprise proposal, or simply wanting portraits that reflect who you are together.

There’s something magical about Edinburgh - the cobbled streets, the sudden glow of golden light after the rain, the mix of history and wild landscapes — it all creates the perfect setting to tell your story.

ARTHUR’S SEAT & SALISBURY CRAGS — WHERE THE CITY TOUCHES THE SKY

Arthur’s Seat is my favourite place when couples want both romance and dramatic settings of nature. Just a short walk from  the Royal Mile, you suddenly find yourself surrounded by open hills, fresh wind on your face, and sweeping views of the city below. If you love the idea of escaping the city without really leaving it, this is the place.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or calling this city home, I’d love to create timeless photographs for you filled with laughter, tenderness, and a touch of Edinburgh’s magic!

CALTON HILL — TIMELESS ROMANCE

Calton Hill never loses its magic. The mix of monuments, wide open skies, and views across Edinburgh make it one of the most iconic backdrops for a love photo story.  Each time feels different because every couple brings their own energy. Sometimes it’s playful and fun, other times quiet and deeply romantic. It’s a place that captures not just your love, but the essence of Edinburgh itself.
