It was our last day in Scotland and in typical Scottish fashion, it was a rainy and gray one. This was our first and only full day in Edinburgh and that morning was my first time seeing it in the daylight. I was so mesmerized! There is so much history and the architecture is beautiful and different than what we had seen in other big cities in Europe. I love how it’s so hilly, because it creates layers when you look at the city from a distance. Will told me this is one of his favorite things about the city. When I met him and his wife Jackie on the corner of Waverly Bridge and Princes Street and walked up to them in the rain, some of the first few words out of Jackie’s mouth were “Well, it wouldn’t be Scotland if it wasn’t raining!” I loved her right away. She’s laid back and spunky and the perfect match to Will’s humor. They are adorable together and as sweet and welcoming as can be! Plus they have amazing style! I was having major glasses envy over Jackie’s frames…

They just celebrated their 5 year wedding anniversary and it was such a joy to get to photograph them and capture this special season in their lives! They are both American’s living the expat life in Edinburgh, as Will studies at the University there to earn his doctorate. They took me to some of their favorite spots in the city for their shoot! I loved hearing about their lives there and it was especially wonderful to hear about Edinburgh from a couple who gets to enjoy everything it has to offer! I really admire their adventurous spirits and I’m so excited to see where they end up next.

Jackie and Will, thank you for spending the morning with me! It was truly such an honor capturing these and I hope you enjoy my favorites!
