Planning a wee trip to Edinburgh with your person?

What better way to remember it than with some gorgeous photos of you two – cuddled up in cobbled alleyways, dancing under castle shadows, or chasing sunsets on Calton Hill.

I’m Lou, a couples photographer based in Edinburgh, and I’m all about capturing the real stuff. Think belly laughs, quiet moments, cheeky kisses, and everything in between. Whether you’re celebrating an adventure filled holiday, marking your engagement, planning a post wedding shoot, or about to pop the question, I’ve got you.

Capture Your Love Story in Historic Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a city steeped in history, with incredible architecture and that magical old-world charm. And honestly - I know I’m biased - but rain or shine, it always looks amazing.

With my help, you can explore the best of it while I capture the real moments between you two. From rambling through the closes of Old Town, to taking in iconic views of the Castle, or even climbing a volcano (yes, Arthur’s Seat counts), I’ll help plan locations that match your vibe and vision for your shoot.

Vacation photos to last a lifetime

Planning a surprise proposal in Edinburgh? Let’s make it unforgettable. I’ll help you plan every detail - from choosing the perfect location and time of day, to subtle ways we can keep the surprise under wraps. Think of me as your behind-the-scenes sidekick with a camera.

A proposal to remember

Not sure where to go or how it all works? No stress. I know the city inside out and love planning routes that match your energy - whether that’s hidden alleyways, seaside spots, or golden hour on a hilltop.

All you need to do is show up, be yourselves, and I’ll guide you through it.

+ COUPLES + PROPOSALS

My Edinburgh photoshoots are relaxed, fun wanders through some of the city’s most iconic and charming spots - the kind that really capture the heart of this historic place.

Each session is completely tailored to you, so there’s no need to worry if you’re not familiar with the city. Once you’re booked in, I’ll send over a curated list of location options and route ideas. Depending on the vibe you’re after (and how long we’ve got), we can explore the cobbled corners of Old Town, the elegance of New Town, or even wander out to Holyrood and beyond.

  • Allan, Texas

    Lou did amazing during my “surprise proposal shoot”! I couldn't be happier with the photos! She captured the magical moment flawlessly, and the photos are a treasure. Professional, creative, and a joy to work with – I highly recommend her talent for capturing life's special moments!

  • Aga, scotland

    Louise is a fantastic, friendly photographer! We had an outdoor session with our dog and we love how the photos turned out! Highly recommended!

  • Evelyn, south carolina

    While traveling in Edinburgh, my husband and I wanted to book a travel/adventure photoshoot, and we were so lucky to have found Lou! She was an absolute gem to work with! From the moment we connected by email, to the actual day we took photos, everything was perfect! Even in rainy weather, she helped find the perfect spots to capture us in all the city’s charm! The photos we got are stunning and turned out better than we could have ever hoped! We are so thankful for these photos and will treasure them for a lifetime!

    And not only were the photos great, but Lou was an absolute blast to work with! After our photoshoot, it felt like we had just spent a couple of hours with an old friend!

  • Alan, Alabama

    Ok well I’m sure you get this from every client… but you are absolutely amazing and we are so thankful to have found you. Seriously. You’re an incredible talent and made the whole process incredible!

  • Shistine, Texas

    Lou is a joy!! We found her randomly searching for a photographer in Scotland for our Honeymoon (coming from Texas) and we had such an amazing time venturing around Edinburgh with her and the photos are outstanding. Her aproach feels so fun and natural and it truly comes across in the final products! I honestly wish she could have shot our wedding!!

  • Whatever makes you feel like you. I recommend comfy clothes you can move in and colours that complement each other without matching exactly. Layers work great for Edinburgh’s unpredictable weather and I am always happy to help you decide if you are stuck.

  • Honestly, nearly every couple tells me this. You do not need to know what to do - that is my job. I will gently guide you so things feel natural, and you will spend most of the shoot just chatting, walking, and laughing together. It will be way more fun (and way less scary) than you think.

  • Absolutely. Your shoot should feel like you, so bring whoever (or whatever) adds to that. Just give me a heads up so we can plan the best location and timing.

  • We roll with it. Edinburgh is beautiful in all weather, and a bit of drizzle can add magic. I always keep an eye on the forecast and can shuffle timing slightly if needed. I also know some gorgeous covered spots if we need them.

  • Of course. Once you are booked in, I will send over a list of my favourite routes and spots. Whether you want dramatic views, historic charm, secret gardens or a mix, we will find the perfect fit for you.
