Elopement Photographer in Scotland

Relaxed, natural photos for couples doing things their own way.

Whether you’re exchanging vows in the rugged Highlands, the dramatic landscapes of Skye, or a tucked-away spot in the city, your elopement deserves to be documented in a way that feels honest and true to you.

I photograph elopements all over Scotland, focusing on natural, candid moments. No awkward posing, no pressure—just real connection, real emotion, and a bit of help when you need it.

Why Elope in Scotland?

Scotland is one of the few places in the world where you can legally get married almost anywhere—from a windswept mountain to the middle of a city park. It’s perfect for couples who want to skip the big performance and plan something meaningful, personal, and totally their own.

Some of the most popular spots include:

  • The Isle of Skye (Elgol, Fairy Glen, Quiraing)

  • Glencoe and the Scottish Highlands

  • The Cairngorms

  • The Borders

  • Hidden corners of Edinburgh and Glasgow for something more urban

There’s no ‘right’ way to elope. You might be planning just the two of you and a celebrant, or maybe you’re bringing along a handful of your closest people. However you do it, I’ll be there to capture it as it unfolds—calmly, quietly, and without fuss.

What its like working with me?

I know that most couples aren’t used to being in front of a camera—and that’s totally fine. My job is to make things feel easy, not staged. I’ll offer gentle guidance when it helps and step back when it doesn’t. No cheesy poses, no standing around for hours—just honest moments, captured naturally.

You’ll also get:

  • Support planning the timeline and choosing the best light

  • Backup plans for weather (because Scotland…)

  • Someone who blends into the background, rather than directing the day

  • A few laughs and zero stress

Imagine Your Day…

No packed schedule. No pressure. Just the two of you, doing things your way.

You might start your morning slowly with a coffee together before heading into the hills or finding a quiet spot in the city to say your vows. Maybe it’s just you and your celebrant—or maybe your closest few are there, standing by with happy tears. Afterwards? It’s up to you. Go for a walk, explore somewhere new, share an intimate family meal, or just head back and chill out together, knowing you’ve done it exactly how you wanted to.

Whatever your day looks like, I’ll be there to document it honestly—no filters, no rehearsed poses, just real, breathtaking memories.
