Are you thinking of a Glencoe elopement?  Eloping to Glencoe in the Scottish highlands is an amazing choice! 

Are you looking for an experienced and passionate Scottish photographer with a genuine love of Glencoe and a solid working (and playing!) knowledge of the area?

Glencoe elopements are dramatic, rugged, wild and romantic in equal measure and a wonderful choice when thinking about eloping to Scotland.

This diverse and beautiful natural area of Scotland is home to some of the most stunning mountains, rivers, woodland and waterfalls and should be high on anyone’s ‘must visit’ list.

It is the perfect place for an intimate ceremony or a small elopement wedding in Scotland.

I’m lucky to have been part of many elopements in the Scottish Highlands and Glencoe over the years.

I help couples with their Scottish elopement plans. Working with them to create authentic, cinematic work which matches the full drama of the Scottish landscape. Using the light, the environment and and their connection to it. I love it all! 

It’s a job I never take for granted and being in these familiar hills of Glencoe I definitely work, create and breathe better.

Are you keen on a Scottish adventure, from roadside rambles to off the beaten path? With jaw dropping backdrops, fascinating history and highland hospitality? Glencoe has it all in abundance.

I love to wander off the beaten track when I get the chance. Im lucky to have been climbing in Glencoe and all over Scotland for the past 20 years so I have a long list of places I can highly recommend.

I dont know it all, but there are some wonderful places I could point you towards for a kick off.
