Elopements
in Scotland

Intimate weddings in some of the most beautiful places

Why Elope in Scotland?

Scotland’s dramatic landscapes, from mountains and lochs to quiet beaches and ancient forests, create the perfect backdrop for an elopement. Whether you want something wild and remote or peaceful and private, there’s a place for you.

Your Elopement

Elopements are all about creating a day that reflects who you are as a couple. Whether that means a dramatic ceremony on a hilltop, a relaxed afternoon by a loch, or something completely unique, your day is shaped entirely by you. There are no set schedules or rules. Just the freedom to focus on each other and the moments that matter most.

Favourite locations

I have photographed elopements in many locations across Scotland, including Glencoe’s rugged mountains and the coastal views of the Isle of Skye. Cairngorms National Park offers quiet forests and open skies, while Inverness and nearby areas provide easy access to beautiful spots. There are also plenty of quiet beaches and lochs that make for beautiful, private ceremonies.

Andy photographed our elopement wedding for us. He was professional and friendly and we LOVED his enthusiasm for getting the perfect shot.

If you’re drawn to the idea of escaping to Scotland for your day, whether it’s to share your vows somewhere remote and beautiful or to celebrate quietly with just the two of you, it’s a wonderful choice. The country offers plenty of peaceful spots where your day can unfold naturally, without distractions.
