Why choose us?
We are not ‘just’ a Photoshoot!
Escaping for a couple of hours with us is not merely a session; it's an adventure, a journey into the heart of Scotland's rather magical and ‘sometimes challenging’ outdoors. Picture yourself not as a client, but as a friend, sharing laughter, stories and a cup of coffee amidst the breathtaking landscapes. Here, inhibitions fade away, replaced by a sense of freedom and authenticity, allowing your true essence to shine through the lens against the backdrop of Scotland's natural wonders.
We firmly believe that while photos capture fleeting moments, it's the shared experiences that truly define our time together. The best images are often those unguarded, candid moments, when you're laughing, swapping tales or simply embracing the crisp Scottish air. This isn’t just a photoshoot; it’s a chance to pause, reconnect and create memories that are as cherished as the images themselves. The magic of Scotland isn’t just in its landscapes, but in the way it brings people together, celebrating life’s simple joys with warmth and spontaneity.
Our Ethos & Values
‘Take only memories, leave only footprints’ - Chief Seattle
Our Photography is more than just a still image, it is an emotional experience that connects us to the landscape in which we live and the narrative within. Scotland is unique and its landscape is precious and Scottish Law allows freedom to roam through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. We all have a responsibility to safeguard this privilege, so that the beauty of the country can be preserved and continue to be enjoyed by all.
It is important to us that we understand our obligations, act responsibly and respect the land that we are fortunate to work in. To minimise our impact on the environment whilst on our photography shoots, we only have the cameras around our necks and a reflector to utilise the natural light. We are very aware of our responsibilities under the access code and are always extremely sensitive to rural activities and the interests of the landowner, on all the properties that we visit.

Testimonials
Incredible
‘Kristy and Rich are incredible and if I could give them more stars I would. When searching for a wedding photographer something about Kristy's photos just spoke to me, it was exactly what I was looking for. From booking, through the uncertainty of plans due to Covid, to getting to the actual day, Kristy has been helpful, responsive and supportive. On the actual days of shooting Kristy and Rich were an absolute blast, making us laugh and putting us at ease in front of the camera. Then Kristy sent us our photos and I couldn't have been happier, they were perfect and everything I had hoped to get. I cannot recommend The Auld Romantics enough and I hope we get to spend some more time with them one day.’

Delightful
‘… Kristy and Richard picked me up, drove me around and even brought coffee (very important in the morning)! They were incredibly helpful, responsive, nice, and professional. They made me feel confident and relaxed, so I was able to largely shed my rather pronounced camera shyness and self-consciousness. I felt comfortable and not awkwardly exposed. They easily accommodated my wishes and ideas and were completely flexible. And the photos are simply stunning! The light is atmospheric and dramatic, the backdrop breathtaking, the composition perfect and balanced. And all this despite me being in the photos 🙂 I really like how they captured me and my different sides through the lens of the camera. Even the silly giggles!
The whole experience was a delight in every way. Not only did I get a series of epic, fantastic and diverse pictures by phenomenally talented photographers - I also had a lovely day full of laughter and joy that I will always remember.’
Jessica
SPECTACULAR !!!
Kristy and Richard were absolutely amazing. They are so fun and have a natural way about them that instantly puts people at ease. The photographs we had taken were flawless. If you're looking for someone to capture a special occasion perfectly, look no further. You can't do any better than Auld Romantics. I am so glad that we trusted them with our once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Over the moon!
‘Kristy's work say's it all! I have followed her photography for a long time and was very excited, if not a little nervous about stepping in front of the lens. Kristy made the whole experience so relaxed and a lot of fun for us both, even on an icy cold February morning! We knew we were in safe hands though as she had a back up plan in the wings which took us to locations in Scotland we would otherwise have never experienced. To say we were both over the moon with the finished shot's is an understatement. I would highly recommend Kristy as your photographer!!’
Barry
Amazing!
‘Kristy and Rich are AMAZING! We had so much fun with them - we couldn't stop laughing the entire day and had an absolutely amazing time. The photos are the most incredible pictures and everyone raves about our wedding photos! We HIGHLY recommend Kristy. It will be a very fun experience and your photos will come out BEAUTIFUL! Thank you Kristy and Rich!’

Dynamic Duo
‘This dynamic duo is absolutely phenomenal! Obviously, the pictures are gorgeous and speak for themselves, but what is truly remarkable about Kristy and Richard is that they make the modeling experience as memorable as the photos themselves. We highly recommend to everyone and everyone looking for a full and fun documented adventure.
The one note we recommend, is to think about how daring you want your shoot to get before the photo shoot, and then let these two see your personality. They will match your energy, and provide direction.
Thanks for everything and Slàinte!!!’
Kenlei
Friendliest people ever
‘We had an amazing time with Kristy and Richard! I wanted to have candid pictures of my proposal and they planned everything perfectly. They sent me a video showing me exactly where to go, when would be the best time to propose, and how we would get the pictures without my girlfriend knowing. They even had a plan A, B, and C in case there were any problems with weather or tourists or anything else.
After getting amazing pictures of the proposal they spent all day with us taking us all around the area to unbelievable spots where we got incredible pictures. They were the friendliest people ever and they have THE CUTEST puppy Bella. We spent all day with them and had a wonderful time. We are so happy with the pictures and will be forever grateful for their amazing talent. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to get pictures taken in Scotland.’

Otherworldly
I spent a very long day in the highlands in Scotland with Kristy and Richard and it was hands down one of the most fun and beautiful days of my life! Kristy’s images look almost fake because they’re so stunningly otherworldly but they couldn’t be more authentic. She knows the land so well and therefore captures it from unique and challenging angles and she chases the light and elements tirelessly. Richard is a jack of all trades, taking perfect care of literally everything else. I learned so much from them and grew to love them both in just one very full day. The icing on the cake is the photos I have to remember it all that I will cherish forever! I cannot recommend Kristy Ashton photography enough!

We had a blast!
Kristy and Richard are incredible people. This may be their job but is not work for them. It's like hanging out with your friends but getting epic photos of it. They capture who you are, not what you look like when you pose for a photo. Kristy is a truly talented photographer with a great eye. We had a blast hanging out with them and these photos are just so great that if I hadn't been there I wouldn't believe it was me in them.
