Best Photography Spots for an Edinburgh Photoshoot

Nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Scotland, Edinburgh is a city that effortlessly combines historical grandeur with contemporary charm, making it a photographer's dream destination. With its iconic Edinburgh Castle perched atop an ancient volcanic hill, the city boasts a dramatic skyline that is bathed in a rich tapestry of history. The Royal Mile, a cobbled street that stretches between the castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, invites you to capture centuries of stories through its intricate architecture and bustling street life. Venture into the enchanting gardens of Princes Street, where the juxtaposition of lush greenery against the city's architecture provides the perfect canvas for capturing nature's resilience amid urban splendor. And as day turns to night, Calton Hill presents a breathtaking panorama, offering the ideal vantage point for photographing the city's nocturnal transformation, with the city's lights illuminating the beauty of both its past and present. Edinburgh is a captivating muse for any photographer seeking to capture a city of enduring enchantment.

Scottland was a bucket list trip for my daughter's senior year, and we decided to have her senior pictures taken there. Communication with Alyssa was great! She was professional and accommodating.

After sharing my daughter's interest in nature, she recommended Arthur’s Chair. Every shot was the perfect light, a beautiful spot, and the essence of my daughter.

It was so hard to choose our favorites as we loved them all. Alyssa, thank you for capturing this memorable time in our family’s life. I am forever grateful.-KarinaView Photographer profile
Alysa was so wonderful! Super friendly, gave us great directions for shots, and produced some truly beautiful photos!

Super happy with the gallery and so excited to display these in our home to commemorate this trip. Thank you!!-AllyView Photographer profile
Alysa was wonderful to work with! She put us all at ease and was very easygoing, but she still managed to capture lots of cute shots with my young children. I can't recommend her enough!-AmyView Photographer profile
Olga rearranged personal meetings so she could attend our shoot which was booked at short notice and went above and beyond.

She met us at the arranged location and instantly made us comfortable. We are really pleased with the photos and how Olga helped us with ideas.

Really pleased with the outcome and would recommend Olga for photo shoots.-GrahamView Photographer profile
We had such a great time during this session. The photos are absolutely amazing! If you’re contemplating, let me tell you, you will not regret having your photos taken! Extremely patient, conversational, great guidance in regards to posing. I am happy with these photos!!! Thank you, Alysa for making our trip to Edinburgh perfect!-IvieView Photographer profile
Olga was lovely! She was super flexible with timings and location preferences, while also providing insight on what locations would work best at certain times. Would highly recommend!-AarushiView Photographer profile
