Connor & Emily - Proposal in Edinburgh


Connor got in touch with me from Tennessee, US to discuss me capturing his proposal to Emily in Edinburgh City Centre. We discussed back and forth on locations as he wanted somewhere with a good view over Edinburgh. We chose Calton Hill for its all round views of Edinburgh. There is always a lot of people with cameras on Calton Hill so I blended in pretty well I think!


I waited at the agreed spot for them to arrive and captured them at first just taking in the view before Connor pulled out this most impressive engagement ring I've ever seen. Emily's reaction was beautiful and it even had me tearing up - I'm so glad I got to witness and capture this special moment in their lives!


After they had a moment to theirselves, we had a wee wander around Calton Hill getting some photos in all the different spots. I love that you can have so many different backdrops up here. From the sea, Arthurs seat and Edinburgh Castle.
