Outdoor Scotland Elopement Portraits | Travel Destination Elopement Photographer
Going outside on your wedding day can be intimidating. What if it’s raining? What if it’s a million degrees, or negative fifteen? What if an alien-looking bug flies at your face and all your pictures turn out blurry and a little frightening? No need to worry! We’ll find a shady spot, share ethereal moments in the rain, send that bug-from-another-planet back to the hole it crawled out of, and take the most breathtaking, grounded, carefree portraits you can dream of.
Outdoor elopement portraits hold a sense of authenticity not influenced by backdrops or distracted by furniture and decorations. Your chosen venue may be storied and artfully appointed like the incredible Glencoe Inn, but it still has its own story to tell and can inadvertently take the focus away from you and your partner. Rolling landscapes and sheer cliffs and wide skies, however, only elevate the embraces and adventures we capture with a grounded sense of connectedness that only nature can bring.
For my artist’s eye, the true lighting of the outdoors is both the biggest blessing and the greatest challenge. During this styled destination elopement in the Scottish Highlands, we caught the one sunny day all year long at high noon. Was it difficult and hot and so, so bright? Absolutely. But was it worth it? Hells yeah! There’s just no match for warm sunshine beaming through a gauzy dress as you traipse over Scotland’s emerald hills. I dream about this place!
Celebrating the beauty of the destination you’ve chosen is a big part of destination elopements. You chose this place for a reason, so let’s get out there and explore! We’ll find a variety of eye-catching landscapes, awe-inspiring views, and secret hidden spots to create unique, timeless portraits that you’ll look back on with joy. My purpose is to document your day in a way that tells the story right alongside your memories, making them as vivid and real as if you had stepped into the photo yourself. Your story is just beginning; let’s go explore it together!
