For Adventurous Lovers
Scotland Elopement Photographer
I'm an elopement and intimate wedding photographer, husband, dog-dad and former Royal Marine.
I want to capture your Scottish elopement in all of its epic, romantic intimacy, because life is an adventure, and your day should reflect that.
So whether your connection is with towering mountains, crushing rivers, dark forests or fields of snow, I am the photographer to give you the jaw-dropping shots your love story deserves.
Hi, I'm Matt.
the face behind the CAMERA
We wanted out-of-the-ordinary wedding photos to hang on the wall for years to come, and Matt delivered so many of those. He also made our elopement stress-free and found a secluded ceremony location for us - he is worth every dollar.
We weren't sold on the idea of an elopement until we found Matt and his work.
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but a joy to work with, Matt is a true artist and a wonderful person to have by your side on such an important day - he was the perfect fit for our elopement in Scotland.
The photos Matt captured are absolutely stunning and beyond anything we could have imagined.
KIND WORDS
Imagine doing things differently. Imagine choosing to elope to Scotland at the hands of a Scotland elopement photographer who will capture your day with an unashamedly cinematic feel. Imagine taking control of your elopement back and crafting a day that focusses on you, your connection, and your sense of adventure. Imagine letting go and allowing yourself to be consumed by the vast Scottish landscapes as you get married in the most epic and spectacular setting.
All of this is possible when you elope to Scotland - an experience more than a process, an elopement as unique as you, a day longing for the big screen.
A Scotland elopement that looks like scenes from a film, because your love story deserves to be captured cinematically.
As an experienced Scotland elopement photographer, I am not here to simply capture your elopement photographs. I am here to help you realise your dream to elope in the stunning Scottish countryside. I am here to help bring your ideas to life and provide you with a unforgettable day here in Scotland.
With vast experience shooting throughout the Scottish Highlands, including Glencoe, Glen Etive, the Isle of Skye, the Cairngorms and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my couples and their Scottish elopements. Whether it be deciding on your ceremony spot, advising on timelines for the best possible experience, or guiding you through an unforgettable post-ceremony photoshoot with my intimate knowledge of the landscape, I am here to ensure your elopement dreams are brought to life.
Creating a gallery of epic, cinematic elopement photographs for you to treasure and pass down through your family is a task I pour my heart into, and on your elopement day here in Scotland I work to capture the huge, big-print photographs, the quiet, unspoken moments, the tears of joy and everything in between. All captured in a way that makes the entire experience enjoyable, and presented in a way that makes you look like you're on the big screen - because that's where your love story deserves to be.
Epic elopement photography in the heart of Scotland, for adventurous lovers.
A winner in the European Way Up North Awards, a finalist in the International Wedding Photographer of the Year Awards, and identified as an emerging artist for 2024, my work as a Scotland-based elopement photographer is internationally recognised. However, what truly sets me apart is the experience of eloping I provide to all those I work with. I pride myself on the experience I provide my couples - who elope from all over the world - from initial contact to crafting your perfect day, from guiding you through the Scottish Highlands to capturing the photographs you never thought possible.
Combine this with my experience working in every corner of Scotland, in every type of weather imaginable, and what you end up with is the elopement day perfect for your love story, your sense of adventure and your attraction to the great outdoors.
Not only do I capture Scotland elopements, but also symbolic ceremonies, vow renewals, and adventure sessions - whether that be to celebrate your engagement or anniversary. Whatever your story, it deserves to be told with attention to detail, with authenticity, and it deserves to be shown in spectacular fashion.
Scottish elopement photography in an incredible setting, with the one you love most, captured by an internationally-recognised photographer.
