20 Seconds of maximum Lux as the Sun eventually found a keyhole in the clouds and put the full beams on, gifting us with some fizzy backlight through the Spring showers at the end of Sam & Kath’s beaut elopement in the Scottish Highlands

Watching and photographing them run wild, dance, laugh and hug during these brief moments as the Glen burst into Gold was joyous, they really deserved it at the end of their day

Retour Aux Sources . I was back in my favourite pl

Retour Aux Sources
.
I was back in my favourite place last week running wild in the wind and documenting the elopement of Hazel and Martin
.
They were married in a private ceremony on the Loch side under the watchful eye of the hills of Etive, Ben Starav and Trilleachan.
.
The wind was fierce, biting cold as it whipped over the water but they were absolute troopers and with the help of the celebrant legend that is Andrew Scott, they made it to the finish line without succumbing fully to the hypothermia.

😯 It was a lovely intimate exchange with some beautiful words and backstory and a lovely moment as the ceremony came to a close and the sun split the clouds, illuminating us all and also some of the distant snow peaked summits.
.
An absolute pleasure to work with M&H, a fun, easy going couple and up for hike onto an icy cold hillside to grab some frames!!
.
They eloped here from Ireland (Hazel had the same maiden name as my wee Irish Granny 🙂 ) after falling in love with Glencoe over several visits and Im sure they will be back again, the joy on their faces as we ripped around the Glen was genuine, Glencoe can do that to you, it can get under your skin and become a life long love affair.
.
The ceremony spot they picked had a great view of the Trilleachan slabs, so even while I was hard at work I was glancing up at the granite overlaps and remembering all the fun days Ive had with friends up there climbing and hiking over the past 20 years.
.
I never tire of these parts, the nature and the geology, the quiet woodland and the wild and windy cols, the way the light dances around during these winter months and in between showers is also incredible, it never looks the same twice
.
.
Great to work with Andrew Celebrant finally after hearing so many good things too. Great chat/banter and he seems to not feel the cold.

Im tucked away in the edit den at the moment, working on a Skye elopement film and also some new stills work too.
I really havent shared much on here over the past couple of years due to mega busy times on the road, but we have clicked over a hundred incredible celebrations in some cool, remote and quirky places for nice couples in 2021/22 and Im super keen to get a few of these out there and into the World before 2023 flies by (Where did January go…?)

Ive also recently updated my ‘How to Elope To Scotland’ Planning Guide so do check that out if you need some ideas

Links are all in my bio up there⬆️

Have a good weekend!

Isle of Skye Lovers . Back in September I had the

Isle of Skye Lovers
.
Back in September I had the pleasure of shooting David and Orie’s elopement on Skye
.
These two beauts moved to the island last year along with their super cute twin girls and are now happy to call this stunning place home!
.
Their ceremony took place at a spot they had handpicked themselves, its one of their favourites areas to walk out to and being locals I 100% trusted their ideas.
.
David is also a photographer and works on elopements on Skye and beyond, so knows the area well.
.
It was a very Skye people ceremony which made it feel quite homely and warm and I felt so welcomed! All of them good friends together. Rona the celebrant and lovely witnesses Becy (also a superb Skye photographer!) and her husband Arif, who was on daddy backpack duties too.
.
With the Cuillin Mountains as backdrop Rona delivered (as always) a wonderfully energetic and uplifting ceremony, with handfasting and Quaich tucked in there as a little nod to Scottish tradition (David didnt look overly keen on the Whisky though! :-))
The words were magical though and as the wind picked up towards the end of the ceremony, the emotions were running high and a few tears were either wiped away, or blown away into the breeze and down the Glen..
.
Afterwards we darted around the island a little to take in some of their favourite views and lay down some couple portraits before heading to the Woodland near Portree.
We had some lovely moments with Orie in those woods, she was looking very much like a forest goddess, running around happy and dancing freely in between the mossy branches and the fern.
.
I enjoyed spending time with these two gentle people and their wee family and I cant wait to share more from their day and to be back up on Skye soon for a visit
.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas out there!
.
Hugs from Snowy Scotland x
