A Fairy Tale Affair: Capturing Love at Kilmartin Castle, Scotland

Nestled in the heart of the mystical Scottish countryside, Kilmartin Castle stands as a testament to both history and romance. Recently, I had the honour of photographing an intimate vow renewal at this enchanting castle. Vanessa & Andreas came to Scotland from their native Germant, accompanied by their precious daughter. They chose Kilmartin Castle for its rich history, breathtaking surroundings, and its unique allure for small weddings and elopements.

Kilmartin Castle, dating back to the 16th century, is steeped in Scottish history. Originally built as a stronghold, the castle has witnessed centuries of change, from turbulent times to peaceful eras. In recent years, the castle underwent a meticulous renovation, preserving its historic charm while incorporating modern comforts.

The Ultimate Guide to Scottish Elopements

I’ve been photographing elopements all over Scotland for around 10 years now, so I thought that it would be a good idea to create an ultimate guide for those of you that are considering eloping to Scotland for an intimate wedding celebration.

I’ve included lots of (hopefully) useful information on… Where to start? Where to stay? What to wear? Where to fly to? Who will marry us? What’s a first look/reveal? Who will do my makeup? How long will it take? Do we need to drive… and loads more little nuggets of wisdom.

If there’s something that I haven’t covered in my guide and you’ve still got some questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d be more than happy to help you out.

So strap on your hiking boots, grab some whisky and let me take you on a tour of the Scottish Highlands, Islands and everywhere in between.
