Scotland ELopements & Micro-WEddings

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!

We are absolutely head over heels in love with our gallery. I've been literally swooning over them. Thanks so much for everything. The day was perfect and the pictures captured all the beautiful moments we will always remember.

We had planned a very small wedding in Edinburgh and as we are from in the South of England, we had no local contacts to use (it was also a secret so we couldn't even ask friends for recommendations!!). We did some Googling and research on Instagram and came across Alysa. Straight away we fell in love with her style of photos - they were very natural and authentic and didn't look overly posed. She manages to capture the special moments which translate beautifully in a photo. I messaged her and she came back straight away with details, pricing etc and we set up a Zoom call to chat through our ideas. It was a pleasure to have Alysa at our wedding and she made the whole thing so relaxed. She was very patient as we were also dealing with a tired 2 year old! Alysa has exceptional knowledge of all the best spots in Edinburgh and was so understanding of when we felt like we'd captured 'enough' - it felt -10C and I was walking in sandals!!! We have very beautifully captured memories of our big day and would highly recommend Alysa!

"From the moment we connected with Alysa we knew she would be perfect to photograph our elopement. Living in Australia, it was a little daunting to try and arrange everything, but Alysa’s friendly nature, excellent communication, and expertise in arranging and recommending vendors, truely put us at ease. On the day, she was a pleasure to have at our wedding, capturing our memories perfectly and helping us to feel relaxed and enjoy the moment. She even managed to quickly befriend our 1 year old son, which resulted in the most beautiful family photographs. I honestly couldn’t speak more highly of Wildling Weddings and cherish our beautiful wedding photos. Thank you so much, Alysa!"

I cannot recommend enough! Alysa truly made the stress of an elopement a breeze and really made it fun. The photo shoot day went so well and made us feel very comfortable for two people who don't like to take photos. She has exceeded both of our expectations in terms of quality of photo and planning.

We are so happy we chose Alysa as our photographer for our elopement in Edinburgh. She was super easy to communicate with for the planning process. When we met Alysa on the day, you could tell she is such a sweet, genuine person who really cares about capturing your moment. She had great ideas for all of our locations and gave us directions for posing which helped a lot. The photos we received were of outstanding quality. Don't hesitate to book Wilding Weddings for your special day, you will be so happy you did!

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!

Alysa is amazing! I am also a photographer, so I'm always uncomfortable in front of the lens. She made me and my husband feel right at home, and it was so easy to have fun! We were visiting, and she suggested a beautiful location (St. Anthony's Chapel Ruins). We had never been there, so she sent us a handy map that we used a few times to make sure we were going in the right direction. 10/10 experience, and I can't wait to do it again! While we only did a short session, her energy and direction are top notch, and I can tell you she will be awesome for your wedding day.

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!!

"Alysa was so wonderful! Super friendly, gave us great directions for shots and produced some truly beautiful photos! Super happy with the gallery and so excited to display these in our home to commemorate this trip. Thank you!!"

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.

When my husband and I began planning our holiday to Edinburgh, we knew we wanted to commemorate the trip by having professional photos taken. I found Alysa's beautiful work on Instagram and immediately reached out, and I am so glad we worked with her! She was extremely professional and communicative throughout the entire process. My husband and I had a blast with her during our session. She made us feel very comfortable and we were able to do a lot in a quick thirty minutes. We are over the moon with our photos! They are absolutely stunning, and I am so glad we will be able to enjoy them for years to come! I cannot recommend working with Alysa enough! You'll be so glad you choose her to capture your special moments!

Alysa was a pleasure to work with for our engagement photos. Being from Florida, we were excited about the opportunity to have unique photos taken in Scotland. I have to admit I was apprehensive about hiring a photographer in a country I am unfamiliar with. However, with Alysa's guidance, easy to use website, timely communication and professionalism she put my worries at bay. Alysa had fabulous location recommendations (especially us being unfamiliar to the area) and was open to our ideas. I am so pleased with how our pictures turned out and how quickly she got them back to us. Thank you Alysa for the beautiful memories!

From beginning to end the process was smooth and clear. Professional throughout and delivered amazing photography.

Alysa was great, easy to work with, fun, and took some excellent photos. Highly recommend if you're in Scotland!

"We hired Alysa for our wedding. Alysa was great. She introduced herself before starting the photography. She took photos from every angle. We definitely got value for money and we would recommend her to family and friends."

Absolutely fantastic photographer! Made us feel really comfortable and knew some lovely spots. We would highly recommend her.

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.

I was so happy with the time I spent getting photographed by Alysa. She was fantastic. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Working with Alysa was a once in a lifetime experience. Her thoughtfulness and expertise was incredible and we feel so lucky to have gotten to work with her to commemorate a special anniversary . She had so many wonderful ideas for us to choose from when it came to deciding how we would spend our time together. Being in a totally different country was not an obstacle at all with how accessible Alysa was. We will always treasure these photos and are so thankful she was able to capture this beautiful day celebrating our marriage so far and for years to come.

Alysa and her work were such a wonderful part of our wedding experience. She communicated throughout the planning process and made us feel so at ease. On the day nothing was too much of an ask and we have big families who wanted shots of everything! She was flexible with timings and captured beautiful moments all day and night. The shots we have are so gorgeous and we know we will love them for the rest of our lives. Thank you Alysa! We cannot recommend your services highly enough!!

Alysa’s turnaround on pictures is so fast!!! And I’m pretty sure she worked extra hard to ensure I had what I needed when I needed it! She was so patient with us and took absolutely the best pictures!

Oh my gosh, we had the best time with you and we absolutely LOVE all of our pictures! You are incredible and we will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs photography!

Alysa was wonderful to work with! She put us all at ease and was very easygoing but still managed to capture lots of cute shots with my young children. I can't recommend her enough!

Alysa made us feel super comfortable taking photos in public and had expert knowledge of the area! We had a great time taking and love the photos.

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!

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!

Alysa was wonderful. She helped me organise a secret proposal for myself and Olivia and it was just what I wanted it to be and more. We haven’t stopped looking at the photos! She even managed to capture my good looks… She was brilliant from start to finish and I would highly recommend using her. I would definitely book with her again I can’t thank you enough Alysa!

Our family photo session with Alysa was a super great one! Alysa was very communicative, proffessional and easy going. In no time, our 1 hour session went by so fast because it was so enjoyable. Our family members were not all extroverted and were a bit of camera shy at first, but Alysa's friendly personality made it so easy to break all ice. And to top it all, the photo results were all amazing. Alysa is a marvellous photographer. Truly recommended!

Something you said that still stands out during our photo shoot is exactly why I recommend you! You encouraged us to use our voices and say if we weren’t into a location or the vibes of something. You truly made the photos about us and we felt so comfortable! Cannot wait to have our future milestones photographed by you!

I was travelling from India and came across Alysa's website. Her communication from the beginning was on point and the replies were always prompt. She understood really well how I wanted the portraits to be and she did a wonderful job with that. She was very friendly at the day of the shoot and she was very easy to work with and fun as well. I become a little self-conscious with certain poses but it was very comfortable working with Alysa and the entire photoshoot was very engaging and well thought out by her. The time we had went by quickly and we wished we could rewind the time and have some more portraits clicked. Would definitely recommend her for any photoshoot.

Thank you so much for making our proposal shoot such a memorable experience. Very friendly from the start and the quality of the pictures is amazing. So happy and would recommend to anyone thanks thanks and thanks again!

"My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the work Alysa did for our wedding in Scotland. Traveling from the US, we were a bit anxious about how everything would come together, but she made us feel incredibly comfortable from the moment we met. She was so kind, patient, and easy to work with, making the entire process enjoyable. Her talent truly shines in every photo, and we were amazed at how quickly she delivered our album—sneak peek photos were in our hands within a day or two after the wedding! We can’t recommend her highly enough."

Alysa is simply AMAZING! I wanted some photos of my boyfriend and I in Edinburgh and when I stumbled upon Alysa’s profile I knew she was the right fit. Her style is amazing, simple yet so elegant. Her energy during the shoot was so fun and engaging and so professional. And our portraits are absolutely stunning! I am so happy with them. I would definitely book another session with her in the future. Highly recommend Alysa to capture all of your Edinburgh fairytale moments!

Not only did we receive beautiful photos from our honeymoon shoot with Alysa, we had a blast taking them! We’ll treasure the moments she captured and the fun we had chatting about Edinburgh as we walked along during our shoot. The process from hiring to receiving our photos was seamless and we would highly recommend her services.

Alysa was such a gem and really put the cherry on the top of my experience in Edinburgh. She was so lovely and professional and it was so fun walking around the city with her. She made me feel comfortable from the first moment we met. The photos came out better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend to anyone who is taking a trip to Edinburgh, especially solo travel! It is so great having high quality photos to capture my time there.

I googled photographers in Edinburgh and found Alysa. I viewed her online galleries and instantly fell in love with her style and the beautiful locations she offered frequently for families like ours. I inquired and had great, quick, communication with Alysa directly and a smooth online booking process. Meeting Alysa in person in Edinburgh was a treat. We love the photos!

You were absolutely amazing, we are so happy with your work and suggestions. Thank you for the great experience and photos.

Alysa made me feel very comfortable during the session and her pictures were everything I had hoped they would be. I enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone. I will treasure my pictures for my entire lifetime.

We had the best shoot with Alysa! She was so great and captured our special moment so perfectly. Our pictures turned out amazing!!

We had a wonderful experience with Alysa! She took extended family photos for us near Glencoe. She was very professional and kept calm/brought order to all the chaos of our 16 people. We love the way the photos turned out too! If you are looking for a photographer to capture you on your vacation in Scotland or otherwise definitely consider hiring Alysa.
