Timeless, cinematic photographs
rooted in real stories
ARIADNA PHOTOGRAPHY
Hey, I’m Ari
I’m a documentary-style photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.
I’m drawn to real stories captured in a relaxed, natural way, with a subtle cinematic touch. I capture weddings, elopements, couples, families, and portraits, often captured outdoors where nature leads the way. My photographs are whimsical and candid, combining playful, natural energy with an intentional storytelling approach that captures your personality as it truly is.
Ready to capture your story with me?
Unscripted & Timeless
Each collection is thoughtfully tailored to reflect your story, just as it happens
If you value real moments, you’re in the right place!
More than photographs
Working with me is about more than photographs. It’s about slowing down, being present, and allowing your story to unfold naturally.
Documentary approach
I work in a documentary style, guiding gently when needed, while always leaving space for real emotion, connection, and moments as they happen naturally.
Investment in memories
I believe photography is an investment in memories, in the people you love and in the version of your life you’re living right now.
A relaxed experience
Whether we’re wandering through the streets of Edinburgh or exploring the Scottish landscape, I create a relaxed experience where you can simply be yourselves.
Whimsical & timeless stories, captured naturally in photographs
Have a project that doesn’t quite fit the usual?
If your idea isn’t listed in my regular offerings, I sometimes take on other kinds of sessions, depending on availability. These can include creative music sessions, intimate ceremonies like baptisms or renewal vows, or even business and travel projects.
If your project aligns with what I love photographing and with who you are, I can create a tailored package and price to suit your vision.
Hear their stories
"Ariadna is an amazing photographer! Before we met for the shoot, she made sure we had a meeting to discuss my vision and goals. She works really hard to make sure she understands what you’re looking for and deliver it. She was so thoughtful about my project and went the extra mile to accommodate my needs!"

![POV: you came to Scotland to be photographed by Ari
Iâm Ari, a documentary-style photographer based in Edinburgh, capturing timeless, natural photography rooted in nature and human connection.
Working with me is about more than photographs.
Itâs about slowing down, feeling comfortable, and letting your story unfold honestly.
Before your session, I take time to understand who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to feel during your photoshoot. Whether itâs a wedding, elopement, couple session, or portrait, we plan with intention; always leaving space for spontaneity.
During the session, I work in a documentary, relaxed way. I observe, anticipate moments, and gently guide only when needed. Thereâs no pressure to pose or perform. Nature, light, movement, and emotion become part of the story.
Afterwards, I carefully curate and edit your images to tell the complete story of the time we share â creating a timeless gallery that feels honest and meaningful.
This experience is for couples and individuals who care more about how their photos feel than how they follow trends.
If you value storytelling, trust, and connection, we might be a perfect fit.
If youâre dreaming of being photographed in Scotland and want a session that feels calm, natural, and truly you, Iâm your girl.

![Baptism days can be emotional too đ¤đď¸
When this lovely soul asked me to photograph her baptism, it truly surprised me, we often associate baptisms with babies, but this felt just as meaningful. A beautiful, intentional ceremony, full of emotion and with a soft touch of pink. What an absolute joy to capture.
My website is now updated, and with it, the way I offer my sessions. While my main focus is on weddings, elopements, couples, families and portraits, I also take on unusual or creative sessions when my calendar allows. These experiences push my creativity further and remind me why I love documenting people and their stories.
This baptism may not be something I photograph every day, but I loved every second of it đ¤
You can find more of my work via the link in my bio and feel free to send me a DM if this kind of storytelling photography speaks to you.

![You come to Edinburgh for a photoshoot and get lost in books đŻď¸
Edinburgh bookshops are some of the most magical places in the city, and this cozy little session was no exception. These two amazing women were visiting Edinburgh and loved the peaceful, intimate vibe of being photographed in a bookshop. Theyâre both passionate about reading and run a mindfulness business, so a coffee-and-books photoshoot was the perfect way to capture their story.
We had so much fun being creative while respecting the space of this tiny, bustling bookshop. Their friendship shine through in every photo, and the results were just beautiful.
Winter is the perfect time for indoor photography sessions, cozy, warm, and full of atmosphere. We can craft a session like this for you too, capturing real moments in a space that feels personal and meaningful.
⨠Bookings for 2026â2027 are now open!
January is over, and with February comes the end of the hardest winter months. My web and pricing are updated just now but also session approach to ensure a more intentional, high-quality experience for my clients.
February will bring a special little Valentineâs promo, stay tuned!â¤ď¸

![Magical early mornings for romantic, joyful, and pure, lovable couples in incredible landscapes in Edinburgh.
My people đ¤ One of the things I love most about Edinburgh is how absolutely unbelievable the landscapes can be. They make photos shine and resonate even more.
These pink and orangey mornings, mixed with greens and blues, bring together all my favourite colours in one place. But what truly makes these sessions special is photographing candid, natural people, enjoying the wind, the views, and simply being themselves.
Editing these moments and then sharing them here makes me so happy. I feel incredibly grateful to have been there, in that exact moment.
Winter sessions are often seen as cold, dull, or even sad⌠but look at this. Itâs all about perspective, and about finding the magic thatâs already there.
Are you ready to capture your love in magical places?

![What is life if we donât share it with the people we love?â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Love is what brings us into the present, with ourselves and with others. It helps us grow, feel happier, and move through our everyday lives with more ease. When love surrounds us, everything feels a little lighter.
Every relationship is different, and we all express ourselves differently in public. But being able to show your romance and connection honestly in front of the camera....thatâs where I come alive as a photographer. When a session feels real, emotional, and effortless, I know it has been successful!
Itâs about feelings. About trust. About allowing yourselves to be seen as you truly are. The happiness of simply being together, kissing, laughing, cuddling, sometimes running... Capturing whatâs real isnât always easy, but trust is what makes it possible.
Are you ready to capture your love?

![When your photographer doubles as your personal wardrobe assistant đ¤đ
Hey, itâs Ari, the girl whoâs always carrying your extra layers! Scotland can get chilly, but looking fab on your shoot is non-negotiable. I love helping out with wardrobe on the day, especially when there isnât a space to stash things.
A few tips:
⨠Bring a tote bag or a supermarket bag to keep your extras out of the way.
⨠Less is more, the fewer things you bring, the easier it is to stay organized.
⨠Weather can be unpredictable, so layers, hoods and good boots are your friend!
The results of this session were so stunning, we breathe such a early morning light and breeze that let us capture their special elopement in Edinburgh.

![POV: itâs freezing in Edinburgh and the light is absolutely perfect âď¸â¨
Winter photoshoots (and late autumn ones) will always have my heart. The light is soft, gentle, and dreamy, the colours feel rich and cozy, and everything just slows down a little. Think crisp mornings, layered outfits, warm scarves, holding hands to stay warm, cuddling close, and fully embracing the adventure of being a bit cold together đ¤
This is your sign not to wait for the busy season. Summer light can be harsh, dates fill up quickly, and winter gives us that soft, cinematic glow I love so much.
â¨This being said, My calendar is officially open for the rest of this year 2026 & 2027

![Family sessions with me arenât about standing still or smiling at the camera, theyâre about being together đŤśđť
During this session, the light was simply gorgeous, and the family was an absolute joy to photograph. Nine members in total! What a beautiful chaos đ¤ We went up to St Anthonyâs Chapel to say goodbye to the city they were leaving behind as they start a new chapter somewhere else.
You might ask, âHow do you photograph nine family members in one session?â The answer is simple: just being together as you normally do. Iâll make you laugh, capture those silly everyday moments, andeven make you run, argue, or play. Itâs all about storytelling in a relaxed, documentary style, no awkward poses, no pressure, just real connection. Iâm just an extra in the story, helping you capture it.
Many family sessions focus on smiling at the camera, but the truth is, thatâs not where the magic happens. I want you to look at your photos and see your real family being themselves.
Thinking about getting photos done throughout the year? Iâm your gal. I photograph families in Edinburgh and across Scotland, and Iâm always happy to include activities you love in your everyday routine.

![Love is a journey and so was this photoshoot.
â¨We planned this surprise proposal months ago, and by the time it happened, it felt like a story unfolding through the images, exactly how I love to tell stories.
We started at St. Anthonyâs Chapel / Arthurâs Seat for the surprise proposal, then wandered around Edinburgh capturing their laughter, quiet moments, and the magic of simply being together.
Every couple is different, and I always aim to capture people as they truly are. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we go quiet and emotional, it all comes naturally from you. Iâm just your guide, here to help you feel comfortable and to photograph your love in some of the most beautiful locations in the city I adore. đ¤

![Love can be both passionate and tender.â¨This beautiful couple decided to elope in Edinburgh after a lifetime together, just them and their best friends as witnesses.
It was intimate, emotional, and full of joy.
As a photographer, I couldnât be more grateful to capture such pure emotions and the deep connection they share. Their day was simple, romantic, and truly unforgettable.
They chose to say yes at the Edinburgh City Chambers, surrounded by the charm of the old town and the energy of the city, and it couldnât have been more perfect.đ¤

![Travelling Solo in Edinburgh & Want Photos of Yourself!
Travelling solo doesnât mean you canât have beautiful memories to look back on. Edinburgh is full of magical corners, and Iâd love to capture your story while you explore!
Weâll make the session feel like you: maybe itâs photos at your favourite cafĂŠ, enjoying lunch in the park, wandering through a bookshop or vintage shop, or something more creative that reflects your trip.
Together, weâll create images that feel real and true to your adventure.
I know from my own solo travels that sometimes you think, âI wish I had someone to take a photo of me here!â thatâs where I come in. Iâve done this for other travellers, and they loved having these little memories to treasure.

![Raw, authentic, and real love! This shoot was filled with emotions and little surprises along the way, and I had the joy of capturing every moment just as it happened.
On my way home, I couldnât stop thinking about how much trust it takes to let someone photograph such a special moment in your life. Itâs an honour every single time. I left this session feeling grateful, inspired, and reminded of how beautiful my job really is.
If youâd love a photoshoot with a little surprise element added in, let me know, Iâd be so happy to help make it real. My goal is always to make you feel comfortable and capture your story in the most genuine way possible.

![Back to Edinburgh for the most magical surprise!
â¨This couple flew all the way from the other side of the world, returning to their special place and he had one more surprise planned⌠a proposal on top of a hill in Edinburgh!
She had no idea what was coming, and her reaction was priceless, jumping, smiling, full happiness!!
Afterwards, we wandered around the hills for portraits, and another surprise awaited her with family.
Proposals are becoming quite special for me too: emotional, raw, and unforgettable. Yes, theyâre a little nerve-wracking (timing is everything!), but the joy and love in these moments make it all worth it.
đ¸ Thinking about proposing in Edinburgh? Letâs make it unforgettable. DM me or check the link in bio to plan your surprise proposal photoshoot.

![Hola! Welcome to Ariadna Blanco Photography!
Wondering about my style and what do I do?
Iâve been doing photography my whole life without realising it.
Iâve always photograph and documented stories in the most relaxed, natural way possible. So yeah, this is me, and itâs how your photos will turn out. Expect real laughs, genuine moments, and yes, some awkward or funny faces, all of it tells your story on that exact day.
Working with me is easy. Weâll spend time together, talking, laughing, maybe even crying⌠maybe even having a mini panic attack if something goes slightly wrong. But thatâs life, isnât it? Life isnât perfect, and neither are your photos. And thatâs exactly the beauty of them.
I let the moment happen and capture it as it is, real, authentic, and full of life.
All stories are welcome! Iâve captured musicians, travellers, families, couples, engagements, proposals, maternity, weddings, elopements, artistic projects, and more.
If you want me to capture your story, Iâd love to hear from you!
