Professional Private Photoshoot

Discover Edinburgh Through a Professional Photoshoot

If you’re visiting Edinburgh and want more than just snapshots on your phone, this Private Photoshoot experience offers a chance to be professionally photographed around the city’s most beautiful and historic locations. Led by Mairi Wilson, a talented Edinburgh-based photographer, for about $404 per group of up to 8 people, you’ll enjoy a one-hour session capturing your trip with at least 50 beautifully edited images.

What we love about this experience is its flexibility and personal touch. First, the photographer doesn’t just point and shoot—she will direct and make you feel comfortable, ensuring your photos look natural and relaxed. Second, the chance to explore hidden corners of Edinburgh that travelers often overlook adds a sense of discovery, making your photos truly unique.

One possible consideration is weather—the session takes place rain or shine—so packing an umbrella or raincoat might be wise.

This experience is ideal for solo travelers, couples, or families who want to remember their trip with high-quality images in a fun and relaxed setting. If you appreciate professional photography and personalized guidance, this tour will suit you well.

Exploring the Details of the Edinburgh Photoshoot

When considering a professional photoshoot in Edinburgh, it’s helpful to understand what makes this experience stand out. For starters, the location choices are curated to highlight the city’s most photogenic and historical sites, with options to explore some less obvious spots. Your guide, Mairi, shares a list of recommended locations upon booking, ensuring that your session is tailored to your interests and style.

The Itinerary and Locations

The session begins and concludes in central parts of Edinburgh, making it convenient for you to continue sightseeing afterward. The actual stops may include famous landmarks like Edinburgh Castle or the Royal Mile, but the real charm lies in the hidden alleyways and quieter corners that travelers rarely see.

We loved the way Mairi suggested historical and well-loved spots—she knows her city well and is keen to show off both the iconic and secret corners. This blend of well-known and lesser-visited locations helps create a series of images that are both classic and unique.

What to Expect During the Photoshoot

Your session lasts about one hour, during which Mairi will direct you for natural poses and help you relax in front of the camera. The review from Benedicta describes it as “a fun and professional” experience, and many travelers find that having a guide who suggests flattering angles and settings makes a big difference.

The hand-edited images are a major draw—expect at least 50 of these high-quality photos, which you’ll receive after the shoot. The editing process ensures your images look polished but still natural. This is especially valuable if you want to share your trip on social media or keep cherished prints.

Weather Considerations

Pricing and Value

While $404 for a group of up to 8 might seem steep at first glance, consider the value: you’ll receive at least 50 professionally edited images, a personalized experience, and a collection of unique memories—not just casual snapshots. For families or groups wanting high-quality photographs, this session offers a worthwhile investment in your trip.
