Wild Elopements

Every year I photograph a handful of wild elopements, and honestly they’re some of my favourite days of the whole year.

Just the two of you, somewhere properly magic, and barely another soul around. Up a mountain in Glencoe, barefoot on a beach, down by a loch as the mist lifts, out on the islands, Skye, Harris, Islay. From the Borders to Northumberland to the far north, if it’s wild and beautiful, I’m in. I’ll happily hike out before dawn, chase the weather, and help you sort the practical bits so all you have to do is be present.

This is a smaller part of what I do, a wee passion tucked in alongside the venue weddings, but it means the world to me. If running away somewhere wild is your idea of perfect, we’re going to get on.

The way I work is the same wherever we are. I keep out of the way, catch the real moments, and let the day breathe. No stiff posing, nothing cheesy, just the two of you and somewhere unforgettable.

Already having the big day?

Loads of couples have the full venue wedding, everyone they love, the big party, and then whack the outfits back on a day or two later and run off somewhere wild with me for a set of epic adventure photos. Have your cake and eat it.
