Shooting portraits outside in November in Scotland can be tricky. You never know what to expect from the weather here in Edinburgh, which is always changing at the best of times. However, we were exceptionally lucky and the day was fresh & bright and not too cold. The location we chose to shoot in was a 17th century style garden on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile, which suited the classical look we were going for. The garden provides a lovely backdrop for portraits and still looked wonderful, despite it being the start of winter.
