elopement photography pricing
Let’s skip the overpriced chair covers and “you’re only doing this once” pressure, shall we?
You’re not here for a traditional wedding day.
You’re here because you want something real — breathtaking scenery, no drama, no timeline stress, just the two of you (or a few of your favourite humans), and photographs that make your heart burst every time you look at them.
We’re The Sassenachs — photographers and elopement planners based in Scotland.
We specialise in helping couples from the US and Canada ditch the big wedding and do something unforgettable instead.

what we offer
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.
"Your elopement photography is too important to leave to chance"
Elopements embody intimacy and individuality - a day where every moment revolves around the two of you. No distractions, no expectations - just you, your partner and a celebration of your relationship.
Whether it’s just the two of you or a close-knit group of loved ones, your day is yours to design. You could stroll by a loch or hike a mountain to exchange vows. Plan it over months or embrace spontaneity and make it happen in just weeks.
Whatever your vision, we’re here to guide you, helping to craft every detail and capture the magic of your one-of-a-kind adventure.
Would it sound corny if we said that we are here to be more than just your photographers?
Well, it's true. We want to become your friends... and there is good reason.
By getting to know you, we make sure that your elopement doesn't feel like a photoshoot but like an adventure with two friends.
Your day will be relaxed, free from stress and pressure and a lot of fun.
You'll laugh & you'll cry and we will be there to capture it all.
We've been doing this for a long time.
About 10 years to be precise.
During that time we have done just about every type of elopement and wedding in Scotland that you can imagine and we have worked with loads of amazing suppliers.
We know what to do to make your elopement wedding perfect and we also know what not to do.
And the best part? We’re always just a message away. Whether you need advice on the best time of day, recommendations for local suppliers, or just some reassurance that everything is going to be perfect - we’ve got you covered.
By making your elopement as unique as you are.
by being more than just your elopement photographers
by offering unlimited planning support and guidance

elopement guide
This guide is the start of the greatest adventure of your life
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're a perfect fit if...
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 the best elopement team that there is. A team that is invested in your day and will provide you amazing photos to last a lifetime.
You want a photographer who will tell the complete story of your elopement, capturing every moment from the big emotions to the small details.
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.

pricing faqs
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 Isle of Skye 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.
