Kim and Ward’s Glen Shiel Elopement

January 13, 2025

Kim and Ward visited Scotland for their symbolic ceremony from Vancouver, Canada.

They had got legally married back home in Canada but wanted a symbolic just-for-them ceremony including a traditional Scottish Handfasting.

Opting to stay away from the busier locations such as the Isle of Skye, they opted for a Glen Shiel Elopement. Glen Shiel is en route to Skye in the West Highlands and is one of Scotland’s most overlooked Glens – but not by us. Glen Shiel is absolutely one of our favourite spots for an elopement.

On the day it rained. Hard. But this didn’t stop Kim and Ward having the BEST time. The weather closed in quite badly and we opted to continue their photos the next day in Glencoe.
