The main thing I always suggest to couples is that we meet in the morning or in the evening so we can get some beautiful light. If you're not up for getting up early enough to catch a summer sunrise then I'd suggest evening for sunset lighting - I can vouch that sunset in Glencoe is gorgeous! The timing also depends on specific locations we may want to use as there will be lots of driving involved, so we'll talk about it more and work out a time that works best for us and our plan!

I advise that you wear outfits that compliment each other in terms of colour palette, but not the same outfit or the exact same colours! If you tend to wear a lot of black this is no problem at all, black looks great but I'd suggest maybe throwing in an accent colour somewhere (I'd recommend doing this on top but if you then want to throw a leather jacket or something on top that's totally fine - layers look great!) 
Here are a few other tips in terms of colours etc:
- Try to avoid distracting patterns/super thick stripes
- Avoid bright/fluorescent colours - neutrals work best (if you need inspiration searching "neutral colour palette fashion" on Pinterest has some great suggestions!)
- Layers & textures are good for when it's colder, and if you have a nice blanket that you guys like feel free to bring it so we can get some shots of you wrapped up together.
- Try to avoid wearing trainers unless they are all black - branded/colourful trainers can really pull the attention away from your faces in any full-length photos, so go for some shoes/sandals/boots if possible.
- Speaking of footwear! Bear your location in mind - for example, since we might be walking in spots that have potentially muddy terrain go for a pair of boots that you don't mind getting a bit dirty or which will clean easy but still look nice! Footwear is key to comfort - especially when it comes to shooting in the Highlands!
- PINTEREST! It's your bestie when it comes to things like this. I have a Pinterest board for this very topic, just click right here to go check it out.

Here's a rough idea of what the shoot will be like so you know what to expect. It's going to be SUPER awkward (but only at first)...
We'll hang out and chat for a few minutes before we start shooting so we can get to know each other a bit better! Once we start shooting, I'll be directing you here and there - mostly putting you into a position I think will look great but then letting you settle into it and personalising it to suit how you would usually hug/stand/walk etc. so that you feel more comfortable. If you're nervous, no need to worry - I'm not expecting you to show up and *model* for me, I'll help you out! Some of the direction I give might sound like it's going to look a little cheesy, and it might feel that way, but as you'll have hopefully noticed in my work - I'm not a photographer of cheese and fake poses. I love it when couples are themselves - so I'll mostly just ask you some questions and listen to your stories and try to get lots of organic reactions from you both. I'm camera shy too, so I know how you feel but I promise being in front of the camera next to the one you love is a lot easier than you think!
