Mel & Chris - Engagement shoot, The Trossachs, Scotland

Seeing as it’s #ThrowbackThursday, we thought it was the perfect time to look back at this e-shoot we did at the end of last summer with the winners of the We Fell In Love wedding competition, Mel & Chris. It was one of those gorgeous long Scottish nights, and we were extra lucky in that Mel & Chris were more than happy to let us suggest locations for the shoot. The Trossachs is one of our favourite places – from lochs to mountains, it has a bit of everything we love most about Scotland (and a few midges too, but you can’t have it all!). We also thought it would make a perfect contrast to their wedding at Hopetoun House, a magnificent stately home just outside Edinburgh.

We absolutely love engagement shoots – not only do we have more time than on a wedding day to visit amazing locations like this and get extra creative, but it also allows us all to get to know each other a little better, and for the banter to really flow. Even the most nervous in front of a camera tend to relax after these shoots, knowing that our photography style is really relaxed and painless to be on the other end of!

We’ve got some incredible locations on our wish list for this year, so just hit us up with an email if you’d like more details on booking an engagement or couple shoot. They’re also a great way to celebrate an anniversary too!
