How Many Photos Will We Get From Our Elopement?

Great question—and the answer is: you’ll receive all the best moments, no arbitrary limits!

Each of my elopement photography packages includes a generous number of fully edited, high-resolution images that beautifully tell the story of your day. I don’t believe in holding back precious memories—you’ll get every meaningful shot that captures the magic, emotion, and in-between moments of your celebration.

What You Can Expect:

• A sneak peek of 20–25 digital images delivered within 72 hours, so you can relive the magic while it's still fresh.

• If we’ve used film, expect sneak peeks in 1–2 weeks (film magic takes a little extra time!).

• Your full elopement or intimate wedding gallery will be ready within 4–8 weeks, lovingly curated and edited.

Your photos are more than images—they’re your memories, and I’m here to make sure you receive a gallery that lets you feel it all over again.

Can We Have the Original “RAW” Photo Files from Our Elopement?

I totally get the curiosity—but here’s the scoop: the magic happens in the editing.

RAW files are the unpolished starting point of every photo, and without careful editing, they don’t reflect the artistic style, mood, and storytelling you chose me for. That editing process is where your memories come to life—turning a good shot into a breathtaking one.

That said, I never withhold meaningful images from your final gallery. If you ever feel like something’s missing, just ask! I’m more than happy to double-check my files and send over any gems that may have slipped through the cracks—because your memories matter.

Want Full Ownership or Total Privacy?
If you're looking for complete photo rights, including RAW files and film negatives, I offer this option through my Incognito Add-On. It’s perfect if you want full control over your images or prefer to keep your elopement completely private—no social media, no website features, 100% yours. Reach out to learn more about how the Incognito option works!

How Do You Handle Payments for Elopement Photography?

I like to keep things simple and stress-free—just like your elopement should be!

To secure your date, I require a 25% non-refundable retainer, with the remaining balance due 14 days before your session. Need a payment plan? Just let me know! I’m more than happy to work with you to make this investment manageable and flexible.

Payments can be made easily online using a debit or credit card—no paperwork, no hassle, just a few clicks from the comfort of your home.

Do You Photograph LGBTQ+ Elopements and Couples?

Absolutely, YES. Love is love—always.

It may seem wild to still be answering this in 2025, but it’s an important question—and my answer is a wholehearted YES. I’m a proud LGBTQ+-affirming elopement photographer who celebrates love in all its beautiful forms.

Whether you're a same-sex couple, non-binary partners, or anywhere on the spectrum, know that you're safe, seen, and celebrated here. Adventure and love are for everyone, and I’m honored to help you tell your story with authenticity, respect, and joy.

Why Is the Isle of Skye the Perfect Elopement Destination in Autumn and Spring?

If you’re dreaming of an unforgettable elopement in Scotland, the Isle of Skye is a magical choice—especially in autumn and spring.

These seasons offer a beautiful balance of moody skies, golden light, fewer tourists, and wild landscapes that feel untouched and romantic. Think windswept cliffs, mystical lochs, and heather-covered hills—perfect for adventurous couples seeking an intimate and cinematic experience.

Whether you’re planning a cozy fall ceremony wrapped in mist or a vibrant spring adventure surrounded by blooming nature, Skye offers the raw beauty and drama that make your elopement photos truly unforgettable.

Do You Offer Elopement Videography, Too?

Yes—I create short, heartfelt teaser films for my couples during their elopement day to give you a moving glimpse of your experience.

While I’m still growing in the world of videography, I focus on crafting meaningful video snippets that capture the mood, location, and emotions of your day. If you're looking for a full cinematic wedding film, I’m happy to recommend trusted professional elopement videographers in Scotland who specialize in creating magic through motion. Want both photography and film? Let’s chat about the options!

What Happens If the Weather is Bad on Our Elopement Day?

Great question—and welcome to Scotland, where “bad” weather can be beautiful!

Rain, wind, mist, and dramatic clouds are part of the Highlands’ charm. In fact, these elements often create the most moody and cinematic photos. I always encourage couples to embrace the wild Scottish weather—it’s part of the story! That said, if the weather turns extreme—think violent storms, road closures, or conditions that risk safety or damage to gear—we’ll reschedule or adjust plans as needed. Your comfort, safety, and experience are always my top priority.

Bonus: A little rain looks stunning in photos and can make your elopement feel like a fairytale.
