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.

The bride and groom were really fun to work with and the day flowed really naturally which allowed me to capture the day in the candid manner in which I like to work.
Read MoreAmanda & Ankur had the most amazing winter wedding at Cameron House, Loch Lomond. It was an absolute privilege and a pleasure to be part of their beautiful wedding day… and what a day it was! So much fun, a load of laughter and a hell of a lot of dancing!
Loch Lomond looked unbelievable. The winter light was perfect and the snowy top of Ben Lomond dominated the skyline. As awesome as the location was, none of it compared to Amanda in her dress, elegantly floating down the aisle to see Ankur for the first time. They were also brave and willing enough to negotiate the muddy beach pictures down by the loch… maybe that part wasn’t quite as elegant. It was worth it though. Ha!
It was so great to be in the company of so many great guests and capture them all party throughout the day.
Congratulations Amanda & Ankur! You guys are awesome!
