getting married Can Be Overwhelming
Between paying tens of thousands for a venue and navigating family politics getting married can feel like the most stressful thing in the world.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
It could feel like this...
With years of experience photographing and planning Scottish elopements, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
behind the lens
Hey, we are jodie & Matt
We’re just two down-to-earth people who love capturing elopements.
We don't have an intimidating backstory. In fact we met in the Office. We are basically Jim and Pam - IYKYK. (Sorry, Roy)
Based in The Highlands, parents to 3 kids and 2.5 dogs (we can explain) and 1 cat, we love Scotland and we want to share it with you.
We love The Big Bang Theory, The Office, Outlander (obvs). We drink too many cocktails (is there such a thing). And we are STILL mad at the ending of Game of Thrones.
Oh, and Matt is Harry Potter OBSESSED.
For more than a decade, we’ve specialised in photographing Scottish weddings and elopements, helping couples craft unforgettable experiences. We’re here to make your dream day stress-free and uniquely yours.

Relive your elopement forever with beautiful photographs
Imagine this:
You wake up in a Highland cottage with your partner. The fire’s crackling. The kettle’s on. There’s no 6am hair and makeup panic, no seating chart on the table with last minute adjustments needing to be made. Just you two, in Scotland.
Later, you put on your wedding clothes - whether it’s a kilt or a suit, a traditional white dress or a modern red one -and head out into the hills. Maybe you head to the side of a loch or a waterfall or perhaps a castle ruin. And just maybe, you/re gonna head to somewhere no one’s ever said their vows before.
We’ll be there, but not in your face. We’ll guide you along the way and make you feel totally at ease.
You don’t need to “know what to do with your hands.” You don’t need to be “photogenic.” You just need to trust us to give you the best photos ever.
What We Do (And What We Don’t)
Let’s be honest: the world doesn’t need another traditional wedding photographer. Or another Pinterest-perfect checklist.
You’re not here because you want to spend a year planning a party for 200 people. You’re here because you want something simpler, more intentional, more original and just more you.
We’re Matt and Jodie - a husband-and-wife Scotland Elopement Photography duo who photograph beautiful Scottish elopements and help couples figure out what the heck they actually want their day to look like.
We’re not planners, but we do help with planning - pointing you toward the best places, the most wonderful celebrants, cosy places to stay and ways to build a day that’s intimate, joyful and real.
And yes, we’ll take the kind of photographs that’ll make your Insta friends jealous.
This is what it’s all about
You, each other and your own little bit of Scotland.
No awkward posing or endless group shots. No pretending to be anything you’re not.
Just the real stuff — laughter, nerves, the wind in your hair, that look you give each other when no one else is watching.
We’ll photograph it as it unfolds — the big moments, the quiet ones and all the messy, magic bits in between.
here's what you won't get from us
Posed, stiff, awkward shots that make you cringe later
A massive planning spreadsheet and a 30-step process
An impersonal “wedding factory” vibe
Buzzwords, nonsense or pressure to fit into a box
The most FUN day complete with the most BEAUTIFUL elopement photos
Expert local knowledge to help guide you through planning
Recommendations for celebrants, places to stay, secret spots and great food
We take on a limited number of elopements each year because we give each couple everything we’ve got.
This isn’t just about taking nice photos.
It’s about helping you have an elopement wedding that feels like you, in one of the most gorgeous places on Earth.
Support through the whole process, including your whole trip to Scotland
