testimonials

These photos are works of art! We had such a wonderful experience with Alysa, who is easy to work with, engaging, and incredibly talented! We eloped in Scotland and wanted to capture the day that we exchanged our vows in order to share with family/friends, and Alysa exceeded our expectations. She gave great direction and made us feel comfortable having our photos taken, and it honestly felt like having a long-time friend there with us. The result was a truly breathtaking series of photos, absolutely beautiful!

Alysa captured our day exactly as we had hoped, she really understood the shots we were looking for, and gave gentle direction without making things feel unnatural. Our guests all commented on how lovely she was, and we were absolutely blown away when the images came through. We would absolutely recommend Alysa to anyone getting married in the beautiful Scottish countryside!

What an incredible experience it was with Alysa! Months before the shoot she was able to provide location suggestions for us, as we were visiting Edinburgh for the first time. She was attentive and communicative the entire process. She immediately knew the tone and aesthetic we were going for and was able to guide us in the right direction. The day of the shoot, she chose an easy to find location to meet up. Right away, her presence was warm and friendly. We immediately felt comfortable and even during a short shoot we felt at ease and were able to try a variety of concepts! We are normally fairly self conscious in front of the camera, but due to Alysa, this shoot was FUN. It was a great romp around old Edinburgh! The results? A list of absolutely stunning and magical photos that we had such difficulty choosing from. Highly recommend Wildling Weddings for photoshoots. Just magical! ✨️

"We had such a great time during this session. The photos are absolutely amazing! If you’re contemplating, let me tell you, you will not regret having your photos taken! Extremely patient, conversational, great guidance in regards to posing. I am happy with these photos!!! Thank you, Alysa for making our trip to Edinburgh perfect!"

"I decided to plan my proposal for a surprise trip in Scotland, and was pretty nervous about finding a photographer in another country who could talk me through the area, make location recommendations, and create fantastic photos out of the moment - Alysa did all of that and more. From getting up before sunrise to making two camera shy people feel comfortable, she knocked it out of the park. I love our photos and cannot recommend Alysa enough!"​

Scotland was a bucket list trip for my daughter's senior year and we decided to have her senior pictures taken there. Communication with Alysa was great! She was professional and accommodating. After sharing my daughter's interest for nature she recommended Arthur's Seat. Every shot was the perfect light, a beautiful spot, and the essence of my daughter. It was so hard to choose our favorites we loved them all. Alysa, thank you for capturing this memorable time in our family's life. I am forever grateful.

We had perfect experience working with Alysa. She was such a great communicator throughout the pre-shoot process and was so great with our baby during the shoot. I highly recommend her for any project you have up coming. Oh, the photos came out adorable as well!!

When I first set out to hire a photographer for a mini-session around Edinburgh to commemorate my trip, I struggled to find someone who provided what I was looking for at the price and quality I was looking for. As soon as I saw Alysa’s portfolio on her website, I knew I had found the one! Not only is her work stunning, but she is friendly, communicative, fun, and talented! She is willing to work with you to achieve the photoshoot of your dreams, and I am so thankful I found her!! My pictures turned out stunning, and I will cherish them forever.

Great photographer! I'm typically very awkward when I have a camera pointing at me but Alysa made me comfortable and at ease. The result was some of the most beautiful and natural looking photos I have of myself. 100% recommend.

My husband and I traveled from the US to Scotland to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A week before our trip, I had the wild idea of having professional photos taken while we were there. I began ferociously sifting through portfolios until I ran across Wildling Weddings. I fell in love with the blend of vibrant yet moody portraits captured by Alysa. To my luck and excitement, Alysa was available for a limited portion of our visit and was able to squeeze us in! She communicated routes and ideas right away, which helped immensely as my husband and I had never been to Scotland. She even provided a tour of the city as we walked through Edinburgh. She was prompt, easygoing, comfortable to be around, and an absolute gem. She captured the most magical photos of us and I couldn’t help but share them with friends and family immediately. I would work with Alysa again in a heartbeat, and will cherish the memories she captured forever.

Alysa was a pleasure to work with! We appreciated her flexibility to our schedule. Her thorough description of the locations and itinerary was very helpful. We would recommend her to anyone looking for great memorable photos! Thank you!
Leanna and Josh
Working with Alysa was fantastic! I reached out to her for a surprise engagement shoot after seeing some examples of her work, and I'm very happy with the outcome. Planning a proposal on an international vacation was a bit nerve-racking, but Alysa helped make sure my plan was feasible and the photos she captured turned out amazing! Would book with her again in a heartbeat!

Hello! My name is Alysa and I’m a professional photographer based in Edinburgh. I’m so excited that you’ve found this page and are considering portraits in some of Edinburgh’s most iconic spots.

Edinburgh offers a wealth of beautiful locations, from the historic streets to the stunning views of Arthur’s Seat from Calton Hill. I take pride in working closely with my clients to choose the perfect setting and create images that tell the story of their travels. If you’re visiting the city, I can help you plan the perfect iconic locations. If you’re local and have endless photos in these spots from your own adventures, I can also suggest other scenic options that are sure to be a bit more under the radar.

I offer a range of packages to suit your needs and budget, and I’m always happy to work with you to create a custom package that perfectly fits your vision. So, if you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Edinburgh who can deliver exceptional service and breathtaking images, get in touch with me today!

FAQ

Your Edinburgh Photoshoot Questions, Answered

Photos are professionally edited and delivered in a private online gallery where you can download your favorite photos in high-resolution jpg format. I do my best to deliver everything as soon as possible without sacrificing quality. You can usually expect to see all your photographs within 10 business days of the photoshoot day.  Upon delivery you are responsible for safekeeping all materials so I suggest you make a back up.

Posting my work online is an important part of developing my business and reaching potential clients. I might post a couple of photos on social media, as well as on the blog. If you are worried about your privacy or don’t wish to have your photos posted anywhere, please do communicate this with me beforehand during your shoot or before via email.

I would love to meet you over a video call so we can get to know each other and you can ask me all you want to know! Feel free to book a call with me here.

I don’t overedit the photos. Please use my portfolio and the work on this page as an example of what your photos may look like. I love to work with natural light and to create deep, rich edits that showcase the beauty of Scotland (and you!).

Worry not! I love traveling and am available anywhere you want me to come. Please get in touch for more details.

We’ll do our best to accommodate any last-minute bookings, but to ensure you get your preferred date, time, and photographer, we recommend booking at least 4 weeks in advance. Edinburgh is particularly busy during the summer, especially August, due to the Fringe, so it’s best to book as far in advance as possible. When you click on the “Check Availability” for the package you would like, you’ll be able to book up to 8 weeks in advance.

I love working with clients from all over the world regardless of where they find me. However, it can be disheartening when I do all of the work in arranging availability, creating timelines, providing recommendations for locations, traveling, shooting, editing, and requesting reviews only to receive about 50% of what you pay to a big corporation. By booking directly with me I can better assure you of quality and service – plus you’re supporting my small Edinburgh-based business – truly supporting the economy of the place you’re traveling to and what’s more local than that. 

Absolutely! Proposals are one of my favorite things to photograph. I’m more than happy to hide and make it a surprise or plan it as part of the shoot. There is no minimum duration for booking a proposal shoot. 

Absolutely! I offer different wedding packages that you can view here. If you’re still wanting a shorter wedding photography package, I require a minimum of two hours. 

In addition to working as a vacation and portrait photographer, I do a lot of wedding photography and these usually take place on the weekends. If you can only do your Edinburgh photoshoot on a weekend, please get in touch using the form below and if I don’t have a wedding booked I will do my best to accommodate you. 

Yes, portrait shoots only cover central Edinburgh. If you would like a longer shoot in another part of Scotland, wedding photography prices and packages apply.
