PHOTO SHOOTS THAT TELL YOUR STORY…
Recently engaged, planning a surprise proposal, or looking for a couple shoot? An adventurous engagement shoot in Scotland is the perfect way to capture the moment!
With its stunning lochs and glens, Scotland sets a romantic, peaceful scene. I love photographing couples in meaningful locations that tell their story—so if Scotland has your heart, tell me why, and I’ll create a personalised session that brings tears of joy.
FROM THE MEET UP CHAT TO RECEIVING YOUR GALLERY,
EVERY STEP WILL BE MANAGEABLE AND FUN.
Every stage of planning your proposal should be creative, exciting and fun, no matter how far the destination.
The process is straightforward: you inquire, we chat about you and your day and pick the best date! From there we create your timeline based on your interests; I do the hard research work and provide you with suggestions, possible activities, locations and details about permits, and handle the organisation all along.
On your proposal day, I photograph and coordinate the whole thing, and keep an eye on the clock, so you can just savour the moment and live the adventure! Every step will revolve around you.
IS IT GOING TO BE AWKWARD?
You will probably feel a little nervous or uncomfortable before the session, and that’s normal! Most of us aren’t used to being in front of the camera. That’s why my engagement shoots are relaxed and slow-paced, with plenty of gentle direction to help you feel confident and look your best.
There’s no strict end time, so you can ease into it without pressure. It’s all about enjoying a fun, intimate experience with someone you love.
After the shoot, you’ll receive a beautiful digital gallery with full download and printing rights, ready to relive the moment anytime.
CAN WE DO OUR PHOTO SHOOT SOMEWHERE ELSE?
Yes, and if that’s in Italy I can help with translations as well, for example if you need to book an activity or secure a venue. Just ask when you book your call. Prices may vary.
WHEN CHOOSING WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION OR COUPLE SHOOT, THERE ARE A FEW GUIDELINES I RECOMMEND FOLLOWING TO GET BEAUTIFUL IMAGES.
WHAT TO WEAR

Mix it up
When shooting in two locations, it’s nice to create some contrast. Say for example we start the photo shoot in your home and end the session in your favourite spot, perhaps a natural area you love, or the cafe of your first date. You could have a casual outfit to match the home-y vibe and then dress up to go out. In general, consider dressing up- after all, is your proposal day!
✔ This light and airy attire is in harmony with the location

✔ Elegant, solid colors in harmony, and nice contract with the field.2. Avoid matching colours
With the current fashion trends, I’d recommend to wear complementary colours or some closely related. Neutral and pastel colors are always a win in every environment- think for example a camel brown in a urban setting or a delicate and airy pink dress in the middle of a grove. Or a peach dress for you and a two-shades-darker suit for your partner. If you are unsure how to properly align your outfits, best to ask your photographer.

✘ This couple wear flashy matching colors, creating perhaps too strong a contrast with the background. 3. Patterns
But if you want to wear a pattern, it’s very important to choose who between you will be wearing it, and who will go for solid colors. If you do go for a pattern, make sure it’s not too extravagant or flashy- you don’t want overly busy patterns to clash with your partner’s style, or distract from the background.

Remember that the colors you choose should flatter and enhance your skin color and natural tones. You can also do an online test to check what colours liven up your skin tone and make your eyes pop.
5. Be yourself
At the end of the day, that’s the most important thing. If you are an extravagant person, and prefer wild flashy motifs because they’re more “you”, just be yourself and wear what makes you feel comfortable.
