Scotland Elopement Photography Pricing
One price. Everything in it.
Two of us, all day, and the whole thing planned for you.
One price. Everything in it.
You’re planning a wedding in a country you’ve never been to, from thousands of miles away. The last thing you need is a pricing page full of tiers, add-ons and small print. So we’ve kept it simple. One package. Everything that makes your day happen is in it.
That means two photographers all day, your gallery, a non-legal ceremony if you want one, and all the planning. Locations, suppliers, legals, your Scotland trip. We sort it. You turn up.
We’re not wedding photographers who occasionally shoot an elopement. We live on the edge of the Scottish Highlands, we’ve photographed over 250 elopements here, and this is all we do.
Two photographers, the whole thing planned, and local knowledge you can’t get from a scout. All in.
Why two photographers matters
Here’s the thing about elopements: the best moments happen at the same time. You’re saying your vows while your partner is trying not to cry. You’re walking toward each other while the mountains are doing something ridiculous behind you. One photographer has to choose. We don’t.
Two of us also means two people looking after you. Someone to hold your bouquet. Someone to fix your hair. Someone to tell you where to stand and someone to catch the bit where you ignore that advice completely.
90% of elopement photographers in Scotland work solo. We think that’s mad. You’ve come all this way for one day. Why would you settle for half the coverage?
Two angles
Every moment captured from both sides. Nothing missed.
Two people looking after you
More support, more hands, more help on the day.
Twice the story
Your gallery tells the full day, not just the bits one person could reach.
We’re a couple too
We get it. We know what matters. And we actually like each other.
We know this place inside out
We’re not wedding photographers who occasionally shoot an elopement. This is all we do. We live on the edge of the Scottish Highlands and we photograph elopements here every single month.
We know which locations will be empty and which will be crawling with tour buses. We know where the sun sets in every season. Matt can tell when rain is coming just from the air pressure (seriously).
That kind of knowledge doesn’t come from a location scout. It comes from a decade of living and working here.
“We trusted them completely and they made the whole experience fun and stress-free. I don’t think there are enough positive words in the dictionary to properly describe what it is to elope in Scotland, let alone to have The Sassenachs be your guides.”

Quality over Quantity
Every image curated. Every frame intentional.
Think about the things you value most. Your favourite piece of jewellery. A beautiful piece of art. That one item in your wardrobe you’ll never throw away. You don’t have dozens of them. You have one. Maybe two. That’s what makes them precious.
We take the same approach with your gallery.
Every image we deliver has earned its place. We’re not handing you a hard drive and leaving you to figure out what’s good. We’re giving you a considered, curated collection where every single frame tells part of your story.
This means more time on each image. When we’re not rushing through hundreds of photos, we can spend five times longer on every single frame. That’s the difference between a quick tweak and real, considered editing.
The result? A gallery where every image stops you. Where you don’t scroll past anything. Where thirty years from now, you’re holding a collection of photographs that still make you feel something.
That’s what quality over quantity actually means.
“It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I couldn’t imagine doing it with any other photographers. They made us feel so comfortable and captured our day perfectly.”

One package. Everything in it.
No tiers. No planning fee. No deciphering what’s included. One price, the whole thing handled. Add a film if you’d like one. That’s the lot.

The Only Add-On
Why Not Add Video?

A cinematic highlights film of your elopement day.

See the add-on
The bits a photo can’t quite hold
Your vows in your own voices. The laughter, the wind, the walk back down the glen. This is the film your family will watch when they want to feel like they were there.
A real Sassenachs elopement, filmed in 4K
Add cinematic film to any booking — +£1,000
And it’s real. Sometimes the wind buffets the camera, the lens fogs in the rain, the audio isn’t studio-clean — and we leave it that way. This is your actual day in the Scottish weather, not a polished advert. The imperfect bits are the proof you were really there.
Every film is graded to match the couple — soft and timeless, warm and filmic, or deep and cinematic. Yours is coloured to suit your day, not ours.
Your photographers can also be your celebrants
We can perform a non-legal ceremony as part of your elopement. Handfasting, quaich, oathing stone, personal vows, or any other tradition you’d like to include. It’s completely up to you.
It means the people saying your vows are the same people who’ve been helping you plan for months. No stranger reading from a script. No awkward introductions on the morning of your wedding. Just us, doing what we always do, except now we’re also the ones tying the knot for you.
If you need a legally binding ceremony, we’ll introduce you to celebrants we know and trust.
This is included with every booking, saving you the £500-750 a separate celebrant would cost.
We’re probably not right for you if…
- You’re looking for the cheapest option available
- Photography isn’t really a priority for your day
- You want a rigid, minute-by-minute schedule with no flexibility
- You’d rather stay clean and dry than climb a hill for a better view
- You want 500+ photos and don’t mind if most of them are duplicates
We’re exactly right for you if…
- You want to actually enjoy your wedding day, not just survive it
- You want two photographers who’ve done this hundreds of times
- You’d rather laugh than hold an awkward pose
- You’re ready to hand over the stress and just be present
- You’d rather have a handful of perfect images than 500 forgettable ones
“From video calls prior to when you get your pictures, they handle everything with the utmost care. They will put you at ease, even in ice cold, pouring rain.”

Questions you’re probably asking
How far in advance should we book?
We take a maximum of 30 couples a year, so our busiest dates — May, June and mid-September through November — tend to go 12-18 months out, while quieter dates usually book 6-12 months ahead. That said, we’ve pulled together brilliant elopements in a few months when the date gods align. Check your date — if we’re free, you can hold it for 7 days while you decide — or map out your whole run-up with our free elopement timeline planner.
What does the non-legal ceremony include?
Whatever you want it to. We can do handfasting, quaich ceremonies, oathing stones, personal vows, or any other tradition that means something to you. It’s your ceremony, we just help make it happen. This is included with every booking at no extra cost. If you need a legally binding ceremony, we’ll introduce you to celebrants we trust.
Do you actually plan the whole thing for us?
Yes, and it’s all included in the price. Locations, suppliers, the legal paperwork, your timeline, where to stay, how to get around. Most of our couples come from abroad and lean on us heavily, because planning a wedding in a country you’ve never visited is properly stressful. Some have it all sorted already and just want us to turn up and shoot. Either way it’s included, so use as much or as little of it as you need.
Why two photographers?
Because one person can’t be in two places at once. While one of us captures you reading your vows, the other is catching your partner’s reaction. While one gets the wide landscape shot, the other is right there for the close-up. You end up with a fuller, more complete story of your day. Most elopement photographers in Scotland work solo. We think you deserve better than that.
How do we get started, and do we have to do a video call?
No video call required. Get in touch and we’ll have a chat however suits you, WhatsApp, email or a video call if you’d actually like one. We know not everyone fancies a camera pointed at them before they’ve even booked. From there we work out if we’re the right fit, no pressure and no hard sell.
Do you travel anywhere in Scotland?
Everywhere on the mainland, yes, and travel is included in the price. We no longer photograph on Skye because it’s become too busy. Your ceremony deserves a bit of privacy.
Can we bring guests?
Of course. Most of our couples elope just the two of them, but up to 20 guests is usually no problem, and we’ve done bigger. Tell us what you’re picturing and we’ll make it work.
Can we bring the kids? The dog?
Yes and yes. Between us we have three kids and two and a half dogs (long story), so we know how to work both into a wedding day. Dogs in wedding photos are never a mistake.
Can we legally get married in Scotland?
Yes. And we’ll point you in the right direction either way. Most of our couples come from abroad, and we know the paperwork, timelines, and options inside out. Full details here, or map every legal deadline back from your date with our free elopement timeline planner.
How do payments work?
25% deposit secures your date, and the balance is due 8 weeks before your wedding. Everything’s paid securely online by card.
Do we need to pay in pounds?
Nope. Our booking system handles currency conversion automatically, so you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying, no surprises.
What if the weather is terrible?
Welcome to Scotland. Honestly, some of our favourite photos have come from “terrible” weather, moody skies, dramatic clouds, rain that makes everything feel cinematic. We’ll work with it, find shelter when you need it, and make sure you still have a brilliant day.
How many photos will I get?
We don’t put a number on it. Every image in your gallery will be one you actually want to look at, no filler, no duplicates, no scrolling past dozens of nearly-identical shots. Quality over quantity, always.
How long until we get our photos?
8-12 weeks. Every image is hand-edited individually — no batch presets, no rushing — and that takes the time it takes. Worth the wait, we promise.
What does the video add-on include?
A cinematic highlights film of your day, your vows, the landscape, the laughter, the bits that photographs can’t quite capture. It’s the thing your family will watch when they want to feel like they were there. It’s the one optional extra we offer, at +£1,000.
What if we need to change our date — or cancel?
Life happens, and we’re four thousand miles away from most of our couples, so we get it. Date changes are subject to our availability, and cancellations are handled case by case — talk to us and we’ll figure it out together. We’re not monsters about it.
