Guiding and photography by Weirdie Grizzly

"Such a great experience with you! It was so funny to "jump" from the car with my dress between two rainy moments! We didn't see the time passed. An amazing memory of our trip in Scotland. Thank you for taking us on your wonderful Highlands secrets spots! It was a pleasure to share this with you 😉" - Laura said after our trip

Laura and Grégory came from France to visit the beautiful Scotland and find me as a recommendation. We went to the Glen Coe area of the Scottish Highlands to take their elopement photo session and we could not wish for better weather.
I mean scottish weather - rain and wind on/off every 5 minutes. :)
They were an absolutely beautiful couple and I loved to work with them surrounded by mountains, rivers and breathtaking scenery all afternoon.

One of the best and definitely the longest review what I got from these lovely french couple:

"(Pour les français, le commentaire est en français à la fin)

Gregory and I are a French couple and we did an elopement photography session in Scotland with Weirdie Grizzly. The contact by mail went very well, Laszlo is an open minded person. He immediately understood that we wanted and we given him our trust until the beginning. The D-day, we had an exciting time with him. He has adapted to weather conditions by advancing the schedule of our photo session: I found it very professional! He had a watching eye on us during all the session. We keep a fantastic memory of this moment, to go through the Highlands landscapes in his car to various secrets spots that he had planned for us. The photos are sublime with that Scottish spirit that we like so much! We had them very quickly. We find him a unique style: a perfect mix between Scottish moods and the intimity of our couple. Some pictures are very "cinematics", like it! The contact with him after the photoshoot staying the same, with kindness. Like us, trust him, you will absolutely not regret it!

Grégory et moi sommes un couple de français et nous avons fait une séance "after day mariage" en Écosse avec Weirdie Grizzly. Le contact par mail s'est très bien passé, Laszlo est une personne ouverte d'esprit. Il a tout de suite compris ce que nous souhaitions et nous lui avons fait confiance dès le début. Le jour J, nous avons passé un super moment avec lui. Il s'est adapté aux conditions météo en avancant l'horaire de notre séance : j'ai trouvé ça très professionnel ! Il a était bienveillant avec nous durant toute la séance. Nous gardons un souvenir fantastique de ce moment, à parcourir les paysages des Hauts Plateaux Écossais - Scottish Highlands - dans sa voiture pour aller aux différents spots secrets qu'il avait prévu pour nous. Les photos sont sublimes avec cet esprit Écossais que nous aimons tant ! Nous les avons eu très rapidement. Nous trouvons qu'il a un style unique : un mélange parfait entre l'humeur écossaise et l'intimité de notre couple. Certaines sont très "cinématiques", on adore ! Le contact avec lui est resté le même après le photoshoot, avec gentillesse. Comme nous, faites lui confiance, vous ne le regretterez pas !" - Laura from France

Roaming to seek for elopement locations at the Scottish Highlands

Wandering and exploring at the Scottish wilderness
Location: numerous breathtaking elopement locations - Scottish Highlands, Scotland
Adventure Self Portrait Photography Project by Weirdie Grizzly

To move to live at the Scottish Highlands was my best decision I've ever taken. I have the privilege to visit and work at beautiful locations very often like Rannoch Moor, Glen Coe, Isle of Skye, Torridon, Glen Affric and many more.
After many years of exploring and working at places in the Highlands I know some of the best locations and I know everything you will need to get there. I love to guide my adventurous couples through beautiful landscapes to make sure they have an experience of a lifetime during their photo session. You can see now why the exploring and roaming outdoor is a key to me. To know breathtaking locations I can guide my awesome clients to on their photo sessions and elopements on the Scottish Highlands.

On this one day roam I worked on my adventure self portrait project and seeked for new spots for my elopement photo sessions.

Windy engagement photo session at the sand dunes - Scotland

Fun at the sand dunes with Lisa & Conor - approx 1 hour of engagement photography
Location: West Sands Beach, St. Andrews, Scotland

Lisa & Conor are having their wedding in 2021 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Dunblane Hydro where I will document their wedding.
The first time I have met with Lisa face to face on a wedding faire back at 2018 where she really liked my exhibited works. After they booked me I advised them to do an engagement couple photo session before their wedding day.
They love the sea side and have connections to St. Andrews so we planned the photo session at the sand dunes of the West Sands Bech.

Tell us a bit about you.
"Myself and Conor are both PE teachers who don’t like to take ourselves to seriously! We first met on the last day of school or ‘Teachers’ New Year’ as we like to call it and we haven’t stopped laughing or speaking since!"

How did you find your photographer?
"We are due to get married at Dunblane Hydro, where we first me Laszlo! I fell in love with his work immediately and his passion for photography was clear within the first few minutes of meeting him. However, unlike other photographer which we met that day it was his relaxed and personable approach which made us want to choose him for our wedding. He did not overwhelm you with sales pitches and prices but more encouragingly wanted to find out about us and our our hopes for our wedding pictures."

How did you choose your location for the photo session?
"Recently, we spent the morning in St Andrews for our engagement shoot. We chose to walk along West Sands coast line as we love to travel and spend our summers lying on a beach. We turned up in converse and jeans, as we wanted our pictures to capture the ‘real’ us with no frills."

What was your favourite moment from the day?
"I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but Laszlo made us feel completely relaxed and ensured our photos were natural and caught in the moment. We laughed from start to finish and couldn’t be happier with the results!"

Any advice for other couples?
"If you have the opportunity to have an engagement shoot, do it! Not only will it get you even more excited for your big day but it will allow you to see what angles and types of pictures you do like and ones your not as keen on. This will make sure you have no regrets with you final pictures. Laszlo is also very accommodating so don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions or give your own ideas. You only hope to do this once so make it count!"
