Scottish Highlands-Inspired Elopement | Scotland Elopement Photographer

Ah, Scotland. Any time away from the highlands feels like far too long.

This shoot has been swimming around in my head for over 2 years, and I have no words for how special it was to finally see our Scottish Highlands elopement picnic inspiration finally come to life. Would you believe that we pieced together this shoot to look SO similar to Glencoe (or the Isle of Skye, or so many places throughout Scotland) in Alaska, of all places?

The similarities in landscape are truly unbelievable, particularly in this mountain pass. It could 100% pass for somewhere along the Glen Etive road, or even up near the Old Man of Storr! Don’t you think?!

On a beautifully overcast evening in the mountains, I met up with Kacie & Stephen to witness this vision finally take shape with plenty of tartan, Scotch whisky & even a sweet Celtic handfasting “ceremony.” It was something out of a dream!

Next time, we’ll be creating some magic in the actual highlands once again - aka my favorite place on earth. ;)
