The Quiet.The Wild.And All The In-Betweens

For the Outdoorsy Ones

Sean has a rare raw talent that cannot be expressed through words. He captured our day beautifully and I honestly do not know how I am going to choose between which photos to enlarge for our home. Along with his partner Justyna, they were amazing! They are both friendly and would put any couple at ease on her special day. I cannot begin to describe the artistic talent. – Alicia + Patrick

Eloped to The Scottish Highlands from England and got all hitched up at the stunning and always welcoming Shieldaig Lodge
.
The rain was fierce overnight and into the morning but luckily Rona the celebrant turned up and had ordered some Sunshine.. so we managed to dodge the downpours and hold the ceremony outside overlooking the water next to Shieldaig, its such a stunning part of the World and well worth a visit, it has everything from wild mountain vistas, sweeping beaches and the most incredible woodlands.
.
A&I’s ceremony was quiet and intimate, they had written beautiful vows and the whole thing was wonderfully crafted by Humanist Celebrant Rona as always.. Complete with a nod to some Auld Scottish traditions, including the handfasting and the Quaich(into which they poured some fierce tasting Rum!!)
.
Post-Ceremony we all chilled for a bit at the Lodge before heading of to nearby Loch Maree and the epic views across to Slioch Mountain… Dodging the rain a little more we took a drive down towards Torridon, met with some friendly deer and also managed to sneak a view between the clouds of Liathach, one of Scotland finest Torridonian hills..
.
It was a sweet day chasing the light(and the dry) and discovering some new enchanted woodlands with these two lovely souls
.
Congratulations A&I

Big Love to a Top Team

Ive been out on the road this last week with Three elopements over the course of Three days between Skye and The North West Highlands.
.
It has been a wild, wet and windy ride but filled to the brim with good times and working with brave couples who were all up for embracing the elements and get hitched on the hills and the coastlines, it was cool to drive through Torridon again too, one of my favourite places in Scotland!
.
Im back out on the road as of Monday and heading to Skye and Glencoe.. this weekend is all about the editing, adminning(emails!) and drying out my kit before the big push North.. If you have enquired and are waiting on a reply, give me a nudge before then!
.
Cant wait to share some of these elopement stories from Scotland very soon..
.
Have a great weekend out there🖤.

Hike For The Light . Ryan & Jess A Handfast at 200

Hike For The Light
.
Ryan & Jess
A Handfast at 2000ft
.
There are many roadside spots and short walks in Glencoe that deliver in terms of epic views and rugged vibes, but these two got in touch and were keen to ascend a little further for the vistas and to potentially catch a glimpse of the Sun as it dipped down behind the distant hills of the Nevis Range and beyond.
.
After a rainy start to their day in Glen Etive and a ceremony in torrential downpours, they were still keen to wait it out and do the 60 min hike for the handfasting. Luckily, their celebrant @ashtonthehumanist is also a keen mountaineer and always up for a wee climb. (He stayed up there the whole night in his tent after the ceremony btw!👌) So after a long lunch we finally found a window in the weather and all set off for the summit. We found some stunning backdrops, lochans and epic rays up there and it felt good to be away from the crowds in the Glen… A perfectly wild place to do the ceremonial handfast
.
Would you hike for the light and the views on your elopement day?

Too much to say about this joyous AF day on Skye with these legends who married besude the mighty falls with the Cuillin Ridge as backdrop
So here is a lovely review they left…

Ceremony by Skye legend @ronathehumanistcelebrant Who went above and beyond as always to help and steer these two through the day and the ceremony.

Google Review - ‘Seán Bell, and Justyna are a dream pair of photographers, who artfully told our story, in the most beautiful, mesmerising and unique way.

Their photography is pure magic; so natural, and captured our day perfectly.

Our day was extremely unique to us, and our vision was brought to life with effortless guidance, capturing breathtaking, wild, and real moments. Beside us every step of our adventure, embracing our outdoorsy nature, Seán and Justyna were so lovely to be with. We had so much fun on our day with them, in the sunny Scottish Highlands! With so much local knowledge, we were in incredibly safe, and talented hands! We felt that they went above and beyond for us, and made our Elopement such a special experience.

We couldn't have hoped for a more magnificent gallery to document our day. Looking through our images took us right back to our Isle of Skye Elopement, so we could re-live so many unforgettable memories and emotions!

We cannot thank, and recommend Seán and Justyna highly enough! They are truly phenomenal photographers, and beyond sensational individuals, who will happily guide you every step of the way to having an extraordinary elopement experience, and enchanted day.

Eloped with their parent’s and Alec’s brother from Australia to one of the most stunning areas in Scotland.
.
A quiet morning at their perfectly situated accomodation, with views out towards the rugged outlines of mountains Beinn Eighe, Liathach and beyond.
After a pretty wild drive (Georgia’s Dad decided to go the ‘off road’ route😁) We all congregated and G&A married at the ruins of Strome castle overlooking the might of the Cuillins on the distant Isle of Skye.
A really emotional but fun ceremony by Neil Lynch, with tears and laughter from G&A’s family, it was a wonderful afternoon and the warmth of the Sun made it all the more pleasant. We then fired off to take in some of Torridon’s finest viewpoints, shoot some portraits and we were treated to some interesting light towards dusk as a sea fog swirled around above Loch Torridon and over to Skye.
.
Mega fun with these two, lots of Star and planet chat(Alec is an Astronomer) and genral good banter with these super sweet Aussies. Congrats Guys x
.

Hope you are all having a good weekend out there!?
