Edinburgh engagement story in cherry blossoms

In Edinburgh spring usually comes late. When May in most of Europe is considered to be the last month of blooming, here in Scotland it is time for greens and colours to burst. All Edinburgh’s streets, parks and gardens are covered with fresh greens, flowers and blossoming trees. The most exciting part of Edinburgh in May is The Meadows walkways. The Meadows are very close to Edinburgh City Centre and is very popular place for all students, families and everyone who live in the neighbourhood of Bruntsfield and Marchmont. All cherry blossom trees along the Meadows walkways reach their full bloom and magically covered with pink and white blossom during a week or two in May. Usually, you have to hurry up if you don’t want to miss a chance to see such a marvellous display.

When Olesya told me about her wedding in June 2014, we decided to make a pre-wedding or “engagement” shoot in May to catch cherry tree blossom. It lasts just a short while and in a couple of weeks all magic is gone. We were lucky to catch the last days of this gorgeous blossom. Early on the Saturday morning Olesya, Ian and me were out in the Meadows. We also made some pictures at The Melville Bar on William St, where the couple usually have their lunch during the week. Closer to the wedding day we went to see the Heriot Church in the Heriot Village, where the ceremony would take place, and made some nice shots there as well.
