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.

Big love to my favourite second @justynamariaphoto for getting all the best shots but letting me use them 😂

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.

From Hamburg to The Highlands

These two beauts Eloped from Germany to get hitched between the hills of Glencoe.
.
We picked a spot for their ceremony surrounded by Green and Gold fern and with a rushing waterfall nearby, all perched beneath the famous Buachaille Etive Mor mountain.
.
The weather and situation didnt disappoint, providing us with all the drama they were looking for in a backdrop
.
The hill fog sweeping and slinking around the many gullies, ridges and walls on the North East Face offered up some real Scottish mood and really set the tone as they quietly made their promises to each other and shared their lovestory
.
Mega day hanging out with these two and hope to share more soon over on my blog
.
.
It was also lovely to hear our pal Bonny speaking in her native tongue when working her artistry during prep! 🇩🇪

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!?

Borderlands
.
A very few Silvery frames from the springtime wedding of Ben and Madeline who flew in from the US to get hitched between the castle walls at the stunning @dunscastle in the Scottish Borders.

With just close family in tow it was such a privelige to shoot their intimate wedding in these beautiful surroundings
.
I loved Madeline’s vintage feel and style, thier honest, heartfelt approach to the day and how they incorporated some Traditional Scottish elements into their ceremony wothout overpowering the day.
.
A lot of the time Im travelling a long way North to the Highlands to document elopements so it was sweet for a change to be semi-doorstep and in the Borders, one of my favourite areas! It’s well worth checking out if you are considering eloping or getting married in Scotland!

Justyna and I are out of office at the moment and spending some time in Sunny Poland
.
I love this part of The World and our Summer holidays here to visit family, sharing laughs, BBQ’s, pool days, funparks for the kids, good food, beer and badminton!
.
We always try to do a hike into local mountains like Beskidy, or further into the Tatry or Pieniny, with its striking Three Crowns (Trzy Korony) and take in some of the scenery, or a raft ride down the Dunajec River between the crags and woodland, guided by a local ‘Flisak’.
Its a fascinating and stunning natural area, I highly recommend checking it out for a holiday!!
.
We are halfway through our year and having shot 21 Elopements and Weddings we are enjoying some downtime and a chance to recharge the creative muscles… we have had some wonderful times working with cool couples in the first half of 2023 and I hope to find some time to share our work from these love stories soon….
.
For now though, its 30 degrees and I have a cold Piwo and a Swimming Pool shouting on me! 🍺
.
Hope you are enjoying the Summer out there wherever you are!
