Not just photos. Your whole day, done right.
You’re not looking for stiff poses or staged moments.
You’re here for those wind-in-your-hair, let’s-pull-over-here, just-married-in-the-rain kind of wedding day.
And that’s where we come in.
We’re not just photographers — we’re your location scouts, planning pals, timeline nerds and calming-in-a-crisis energy. We have seen it all before.
We’ve hiked the glens, found the secret spots, and planned elopements from Skye to the Borders. And we’ve got a camera in one hand and snacks in the other.
Our job? Make sure your day is actually fun, completely relaxed, and 100% you — while documenting the whole thing beautifully.
"We will never be able to thank The Sassenachs enough for the elopement photos and video"

Photography that tells your story. Planning that keeps it stress-free. Locations that take your breath away.
We’re here to guide and capture the adventure of a lifetime — whether it’s just the two of you exchanging vows in a misty glen, or you and your favourite people in a ruined castle.
Every elopement we photograph is unique. So we don’t offer cookie-cutter packages or fixed timelines. We work with you to create a day that’s beautiful, personal and totally relaxed — and then we document it all in a way that makes it feel like you’re reliving it every time you flip through your gallery.
"It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I couldn't imagine doing it with any other photographers"

Because you want to feel confident, calm and completely yourself on the most important day of your life.
If you’re feeling a little nervous about eloping — wondering how it all works, what to expect, or where to even begin — you’re not alone.
Hundreds of couples have felt the same way. They chose Scotland. And they chose us.
And not because we’re flashy, or famous or jumping between big weddings and elopements.
But because this is what we do. Elopements aren’t a side hustle — they’re our everything.
We’re based here in Scotland, and we know this place like the back of our hand. Matt can tell if it’s going to rain just by feeling the air pressure shift (seriously). We know where the sun will set and which “Insta-famous” spots actually don’t work in real life. That kind of local know-how matters when you’re eloping somewhere wild.
Working with us means having more than just photographers.
You get calm, experienced friends by your side. People who’ll guide you through everything — from timing the ceremony light perfectly, to making sure the day feels completely, beautifully you.
And when the moment comes? We’ll help you feel completely present.
No awkward posing. No pressure. Just joy, connection and real emotion — captured honestly and artfully.
We’ll take you to places that will take your breath away.
Quiet lochs. Hidden glens. Mountain views with no one else around.
We know the secret spots that don’t show up on Pinterest — and we’ll help you find the perfect one for your story.
Sound like your kind of wedding?

we are not the right fit if...
You want a photographer who is as cheap as possible.
Photography isn’t a top priority for your elopement. We aim to give you incredible images, but sometimes that means embracing the weather and environment to get the best shots.
You’re not fully invested in the creative process. Capturing the magic of Scotland can take time, and it often means multiple calls and being flexible with conditions (yes, your dress might get a little dirty).
You’re looking for a rigid schedule. Flexibility is key to getting those truly breathtaking photos, and we want to make the most of your day, rain or shine.
"We trusted them completely and they made the whole experience fun and stress-free."

You are looking to work with the best in the business. A team who have been doing this for 10+ years and who have worked 100s of elopements
You want to work with a team of North American to Scotland specialists. People who just know how it works. Whether you need guidance on the legal side or help planning your Scottish honeymoon.

You’re excited to go the extra mile (or hike!) for that perfect shot, even if it means a bit of adventure.
You want a relaxed, easy-paced wedding where the focus is on each other, not just the schedule.
You’re ready to have the adventure of a lifetime, embracing every moment and the beauty that comes with it.

Do you offer shorter coverage or smaller packages?
Not really. What we do best is all-day storytelling, so we only offer a limited number of full-day elopements per year. If you’re planning something shorter or different, our Adventure Sessions might be a better fit.
Do you travel anywhere in Scotland?
Absolutely. From the Western Isles to the Cairngorms, Edinburgh to Glen Etive — travel is included across mainland Scotland. And yes, we’re happy to chat about islands too.
Yes! And we’ll help guide you through every step of the process. Most of our couples are from the US or Canada, and we know the ins and outs of the paperwork, timelines, and options for symbolic vs legal ceremonies. We’ve got you.
Can we legally get married in Scotland from the US?
Nope. Everything is priced in USD, and we accept secure payments online via credit/debit card. Simple and straightforward — no exchange rate surprises.
Do we need to pay in pounds?
Ready to do this?
We know why you’re here. You’re thinking about eloping to Scotland It’s exciting but a bit overwhelming. We get that and we’re right here for you.
Here’s the deal: we don’t believe in off-the-shelf packages or one-size-fits-all days.
Why? Because your relationship isn’t generic. The way you love, laugh, fight over snacks, binge the same series a hundred times (guilty) - that is the stuff matters. And your elopement should feel like you, not like anyone else.
So we don’t start with checklists. We start with you.
We’ll ask about the type of places that get you excited, the kind of day you want to have and what would make it unforgettable for the two of you.
From vows shouted over the wind to quiet, meaningful moments, we’re there to document it all.
Real moments. Beautiful photos. None of the awkward posing or cheesy stuff.
Let’s make something magic.
