Some of My Favourite Elopement & Wedding Spots in Scotland

If you’re dreaming of unforgettable wedding or elopement photos in Scotland’s most iconic and scenic locations, you’re in the right place. I’m David Grant Simpson, a passionate wedding and elopement photographer based in Glasgow, travelling far and wide to photograph couples across Edinburgh, the Isle of Skye, Glencoe, and the Cairngorms. Whether you’re exchanging vows under a dramatic Highland sky or tying the knot in a historic city setting, I’ll be there to capture every moment in a natural, storytelling style.

Glasgow Wedding & Elopement Photography

This is home. Based in the Southside of Glasgow, I’ve spent years photographing weddings and elopements across the city’s eclectic mix of urban, elegant, and green spaces. From the Botanic Gardens to the charm of House for an Art Lover, Glasgow offers incredible backdrops for love stories of all sizes.


Edinburgh Elopements & Weddings

Edinburgh’s timeless architecture and romantic Old Town lanes create a storybook setting for weddings and elopements. I frequently travel to this historic city, capturing couples in places like Calton Hill, Dean Village, and the Royal Botanic Garden. Its charm never fades—and neither will your photos.


 Isle of Skye Elopement & Wedding Photography

There’s something truly magical about saying “I do” on the Isle of Skye. Think fairy pools, rugged coastline, and the mystical Cuillin Mountains. Skye is a dream for adventurous couples looking for a wild and breathtaking experience. I’ll hike with you, rain or shine, to ensure your elopement is captured in all its natural glory.


Cairngorms National Park

For couples seeking forest trails, lochs, and quiet beauty, the Cairngorms deliver. This lesser-known gem offers unique and peaceful spots ideal for intimate celebrations. I often recommend the area to couples looking for something off the beaten path.


Torridon & Applecross

Tucked away in the northwest Highlands, Torridon and Applecross offer some of Scotland’s most dramatic and remote scenery. With towering peaks, quiet lochs, and winding coastal roads, they’re ideal for couples seeking a wild and intimate backdrop. I know the best hidden spots for capturing your love story in these breathtaking locations.
