Braemar is an amazing place for an adventurous Cairngorms couples photoshoot. I never get bored of photoshoots in the Scottish Highlands, no matter how many times I do them! The light is always changing, the shades of green that shift through the seasons, the flowers and trees! The Cairngorm National Park has so many beautiful spots to offer.

This Cairngorms couples photoshoot in the Braemar at the Linn of Dee was a relaxed walk through the mountains with their dog. We spent the morning exploring this beautiful trail surrounded by purple heather and dramatic skies. It felt so natural and easy, and so fun to have their dog come along too.

I loved this Cairngorms Couples Adventure and it felt so low-key and comfortable. It was wonderful to build a photoshoot that was so natural and personal to this couple, who love climbing munros and adventuring in the Scottish Highlands.

We planned a walk that had a gentle incline. They’re Munro baggers and spend most weekends climbing in the Highlands, so this was a slower pace than usual, but great because it was their “rest” day, and also great for me carrying all my camera kit! We met up, had a chat, and it felt comfortable, they were a bit nervous, but we warmed up, and I’m very friendly and welcoming so we got into it very quickly. My approach is pretty calm and I give couples space to just be themselves. Their full gallery was delivered within four weeks, and they were genuinely delighted with the images.

“We really love the photos. Thanks for making the session so relaxed and simple. I’ll definitely recommend you to friends.” – Lucie
