Assynt elopement scotland - Raini Rowell header

weave your story into the land

Making your love a stitch in the tapestry of this mystical place

Because that’s why you’re coming here, right? Scotland isn’t just a pretty place to you – there’s something more calling you here.

In this place, you’ll feel connected to each other in a way you’ll recount for years to come.

And when memories fade, know that you’ll have artistic imagery which helps you revive them. All the little moments of unabashed joy, silliness, tenderness and romance of the day – captured in a way that is undeniably ‘you’.

Whether you’d like more information about eloping/adventuring in Scotland, or to chat about availability or if you just fancy a wee cuppa to chat through an idea – here is the place to get in touch with me!

Once you hit send…

  1. You’ll be whisked away to a page where you’ll find out about what to expect next.
  2. You’ll have the option to schedule a call with me for an informal chat about your plans straight-away.
  3. Keep an eye on your inbox for my swift reply…

Absolutely! There is no right or wrong answer about the size of an elopement or intimate wedding (as long as it’s intentionally small). However, we specialise in photographing elopements, which range from just you two up to 20 people only.

My couples sessions (anything non-elopement/wedding) are available within a 3-hour drive of Edinburgh. This includes places like Glencoe, Cairngorms, the Trossachs, the Borders etc.

These packages are not available for places like Isle of Skye, Torridon, etc., which are further than 3-hours from Edinburgh.

The handfasting couples session is specifically designed for couples who have been married a long time (i.e. renewing their vows) or aren’t planning to get married ever/in the near future. It’s there to create a space for these couples to celebrate their love outside of anything ‘wedding’ related.

For this reason, the handfasting session isn’t an option if you intend to wear wedding attire or if it’s close to a wedding date. It’s also only available within a 3-hour distance of Edinburgh. If this doesn’t fit your circumstances, our elopement packages would be better suited instead 🙂

Don’t worry! That’s very common – we work with a lot of couples who book in with us with only a rough time-frame. We’ll work together to narrow down your date once we help you find your location. We’re Scotland-location-nerds and we LOVE helping couples find the ‘right’ spot!

The world feels a bit heavy with division and hate at the moment, which can leave some couples wondering if this is a safe space for them. (I’m SO sad that people feel they need to ask this question in the first place.)

I celebrate LGBTQ+ couples, people of every race, background and physical attribute. My values are unapologetically progressive: equality, respect and human rights for everyone. If that doesn’t align with your own worldviews, then I’m probably not the right photographer for you. My work is for those who believe every love story deserves to be seen and celebrated.

I believe it’s really important to vibe with your photographer – because they will be present for one of your life’s biggest moments. You want to know they will be someone you feel 100% comfy around for the day.

This is why I offer couples a chance to have a casual chat before deciding to book me. As well as sussing me out, you’ll get a chance to ask any questions specific to your day.

The start of something magical…
