Glen Clova is one of those places I come back to often. Being local, it’s somewhere I know well, and it always offers something slightly different depending on the day.

For Aiden and Magdalena’s pre wedding photoshoot, the weather was a bit uncertain. We started in light rain, not really knowing how it would develop, but they were happy to go ahead and see how it went.

As a Glen Clova wedding photographer, I loved capturing their time here in a relaxed, candid way, with the focus on them and how they are together.


Glen Clova Pre Wedding Photoshoot

We started close to the hotel and gradually moved further into the glen, using the open landscape and quieter spots along the way. The session began with light rain, which gave everything a softer look. After a short while, the rain eased and we had a good window to continue without it. The clouds stayed low around the hills, which added more depth to the background.

Aiden and Magdalena stayed relaxed the whole time. They focused on each other, which made everything feel natural and easy to photograph. This Glen Clova pre wedding photoshoot really shows how even soft, cloudy light can work beautifully for couple photos.

Why Glen Clova Works So Well for Photos

Places like Glen Coe or Skye are often the first that come to mind when people think about photos in Scotland. They’re well known for a reason. But on the east side, Glen Clova offers something just as strong in its own way. It’s quieter, less travelled, and for many people, much closer.


If you’re based in the east of Scotland, you don’t need to travel for hours to reach a location that feels properly Scottish. Glen Clova has that same sense of space, open landscape, and changing conditions, without the long journey.


Light, cloud, and weather all move through the glen, which means no two sessions look the same. That unpredictability is part of what makes it interesting to photograph.

Pre Wedding Photoshoots – What to Expect

A pre wedding photoshoot is a simple, relaxed session before your wedding day. There’s no pressure or strict posing. It’s just time to get used to being in front of the camera and to see how I work.

Most couples start a bit unsure, and within a short time it becomes easy. We keep things relaxed, move around, and let things happen without over-directing.


The photos can be used for invitations or your wedding website, but more than that, it’s a chance to feel more comfortable ahead of the wedding day itself.
