Check out what I’ve been up to recently
2024 has been such an amazing year for me for elopements in Scotland. After doing this for over 10 years, you’d think that I’d been everywhere in Scotland by now, but it seems that I haven’t even scratched the surface. This wee country still has so much to offer. Here’s a glimpse of some of my favourite moments from this year.
Read MoreFort William, nestled amidst the awe-inspiring Scottish Highlands served as a charming location for the intimate wedding ceremony of Quinn and Lewis. With just a handful of close friends and family, they exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony at the Fort William registry office.
But the real magic began after the "I do's." The newlyweds, along with myself (their trusty photographer!), hopped on a ferry to the Isle of Skye, a place famed for its dramatic landscapes and untamed beauty. This wasn't your typical post-wedding photoshoot; it was an adventure!
Quinn & Lewis shared their personal vows in Sligachan with the Cuillin mountain range serving as a dramatic backdrop.
We scaled the Quiraing, a natural rock formation offering panoramic vistas that left us breathless. Quinn, in her flowing gown that danced in the breeze, and Lewis, his face beaming with newfound joy, looked like characters straight out of a fairytale amidst the rugged terrain. We almost lost the veil to the mountain due to the fierce Scottish wind, but I sprang into life and managed to catch it just in time.
Read MoreI’ve been photographing elopements all over Scotland for around 10 years now, so I thought that it would be a good idea to create an ultimate guide for those of you that are considering eloping to Scotland for an intimate wedding celebration.
I’ve included lots of (hopefully) useful information on… Where to start? Where to stay? What to wear? Where to fly to? Who will marry us? What’s a first look/reveal? Who will do my makeup? How long will it take? Do we need to drive… and loads more little nuggets of wisdom.
If there’s something that I haven’t covered in my guide and you’ve still got some questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d be more than happy to help you out.
So strap on your hiking boots, grab some whisky and let me take you on a tour of the Scottish Highlands, Islands and everywhere in between.
