For the couples who want a day that feels like them

Scotland Elopement Photographer

So you decided to elope in Scotland? Excellent Choice!

You didn’t come to Scotland to spend your wedding day watching the clock.

You came because something about this place pulled you in. The mountains, the weather, the feeling of being somewhere wild and a little unpredictable.

You want a day that feels like yours. One where you can take the long way, stop when something catches your eye, change plans if the light is better somewhere else, and actually enjoy being here instead of rushing through it.

You didn’t travel all this way for a production. You came for an experience you'll remember long after the photos are taken.

And the truth is, that's what Scotland does best.




But after hours down the elopement rabbit hole, you don’t feel any more prepared.. just completely overwhelmed. Lucky for you that you've found me!

'Shes so much more than a photographer. I truly think of her as a friend and someone who witnessed the best day of our lives.'

"'WOW WOW WOW is seriously the only words I have to describe our time with Jess. She makes you feel so comfortable and knows exactly how to make you feel confident and really take in the moments. Her work speaks for itself and I was blown away by the moments she captured during our day. I cannot wait until I have a reason to book her again. Shes so much more than a photographer. I truly think of her as a friend and someone who witnessed the best day of our lives.

'She takes her job seriously and leaves no stones unturned. You can completely trust that she’s got you covered '

"I can’t say enough good things about working with Jess. She photographed our elopement this past June and I couldn’t have been happier with the photos. She captured the day perfectly. Aside from her creative talent, Jess was amazing to work with. She is a true professional. She takes her job seriously and leaves no stones unturned. You can completely trust that she’s got you covered (which is a Bride’s dream). She also sent an adorable “thank you” package which was unexpected and so sweet. I highly highly recommend Jess to capture any of your special moments."

'SHe does more than just take a photo'

"Where do I even start! Jess captured our wedding and to say we were obsessed in an understatement. She was so helpful during the planning process right through to wedding day. She does more than just 'take a photo', she put out fires before I even knew about them, she bustled my dress when my hooks weren't working.. she's just all around the best person to have in your corner on your wedding day!"

Frequently asked questions

1. How far in advance should we book you

3. Do we need a permit for our Scotland elopement location?

4. What do we wear if we are hiking?

2. Can we have friends or family at our Scotland elopement?

5. How much hiking will we need to do for an epic elopement spot?

Most couples book 6–12 months out, but last-minute elopements are totally possible depending on location and availability. The earlier you reach out, the easier it is to secure permits and ideal dates.

BOOK NOW!

Absolutely! You can invite a few loved ones to join you—whether it’s on a misty Highland hill, by a quiet loch, or in a cozy castle courtyard. Just keep in mind some spots have rules on group sizes, and the focus stays on you two having a day that truly feels yours.

BOOK NOW!

Sometimes. Most remote hills, lochs, and forests don’t require a permit, but popular spots—like national parks, historic sites, or castles—might. The trick is planning ahead so your day is stress-free, legal, and still 100% yours.

BOOK NOW!

Most couples opt to just wear their wedding attire, but totally understand if you want to be more comfortable! Pack your dress and wear hiking clothes to get to your spot and maybe through a first look at the peak if you want! 

BOOK NOW!

You get to decide how adventurous you want your day to feel. Some of the most beautiful spots require only a short walk, while others involve a moderate hike for more privacy and dramatic scenery. I help you choose locations that match your comfort level, abilities, and the overall vibe you want, so you never feel pushed beyond what feels fun and doable for you.
