Summer Scottish Highlands Elopement

Jesica and Steven’s elopement in the highlands of Scotland was nothing short of magical.

On a calm and cloudy day, they exchanged vows at a breathtaking viewpoint overlooking the Three Sisters – one of Scotland’s most iconic landscapes. Their intimate ceremony was a true reflection of their personalities: relaxed, stress-free, and surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Staying at Glencoe House: The Perfect Elopement Venue

Jes and Steven chose to stay at the magnificent Glencoe House Hotel, widely regarded as one of the most stunning elopement venues in the highlands.

This luxury hotel, known for its tasteful vintage decor and abundance of natural light, was the ideal setting for both their pre-ceremony moments and the early portraits of the day. The rooms at Glencoe House offered us plenty of creative opportunities to capture those intimate getting-ready moments, as well as some timeless couple shots before heading out to explore the wild beauty of Glencoe village.

From the cosy corners of their suite to the wide-open views of the surrounding mountains, Glencoe House always adds an extra layer of timeless elegance to newlyweds’ special day.

It’s a favorite among couples who choose to elope in Scotland, thanks to its stunning location and luxurious yet intimate feel.

A Heartfelt Wedding Ceremony with a Breathtaking Backdrop

Their ceremony, officiated by Aly, took place at a quiet viewpoint overlooking the Three Sisters of Glencoe.

It was a moment of peace and reflection. The calmness of the day was a perfect match for the couple’s vision of a laid-back celebration. As J & S exchanged vows, it was clear that this was exactly the kind of experience they had dreamt of—intimate, serene, and surrounded by nature.

Exploring Glencoe’s Natural Beauty

After the ceremony, we set out to explore the incredible surroundings that Glencoe has to offer.

This area is a haven for couples looking to elope in Scotland and wanting to incorporate nature into their day. We wandered to hidden waterfalls, peaceful lochs, and crystal-clear rivers. Each stop gave us a new backdrop to capture their love, adding layers of diversity to their elopement gallery.

The weather was perfect for an elopement – calm and cloudy with soft, diffused light that made the natural colors of Glencoe’s landscape pop. With a soft breeze in the air and the surrounding mountains shrouded in light clouds, the setting couldn’t have been more perfect. And the clouds only enhanced the soft beauty of their wedding photos.

And whether we were standing at the edge of a loch or beneath a cascading waterfall, every moment felt both intimate and grand.
