Elopement Wedding at Eilean Donan Castle

Elopement weddings at Eilean Donan Castle are such a romantic way to tie the know are Simon & Katharina came all the way from Germany to celebrate their union at this incredible location. We have been blessed with some stunning weather this year and their special day was no exception, the late afternoon sun beat down on them as they walked together over the bridge to stand on the terrace with views down Loch Alsh and Loch Duich as they said “I do.”

After signing the register, cutting the cake and sipping some champagne we worked our way around the castle getting some stunning shots of the couple and their witnesses at this grand location.

This adventurous couple wanted to make sure that they would have a way of letting all their friends and family know about their Scottish Highland Castle Elopement so we made sure to get a shot that summed all that up for an elopement announcement card to be sent out. It was a day to be remembered!

Isle of Skye Wedding

Craig and Emma had a beautiful wedding this August in the peaceful little village of Dornie which overlooks Elien Donnan Castle. Father William McLean held the ceremony at the Dornie Catholic Church where friends and family from as far as South Africa and Singapore came to celebrate in their joyous marriage. The sun was shining on them as they came out to greet the guests before heading off to have a private photo session with us at two locations. They really enjoyed this moment away from the crowd before the rest of the celebrations commenced.

The wedding reception was held at the Duisdale House Hotel on the Isle of Skye where everyone enjoyed fabulous food and drink with the most stunning views of Loch Hourn stretching out toward the hills. The speeches were held in the main reception room followed by highland dancing that kept the crowd enjoying themselves till late.

Gordon & Rebecca’s Highland Wedding in Plockton

Plockton is a fantastic setting for a Highland wedding and Gordon and Rebecca were blessed with a gorgeous day for their celebrations.

Rebecca and her bride’s maids started their day sharing breakfast and laughs while having their makeup done by Lynn Reilly of Skye Beauty. Up the hill at Gordon’s family croft, were the reception would later be held, the boys were all donning heir traditional Scottish kilts. Before the car to the ceremony departed I made sure to take a few photos on Rebecca in her stunning dress, by Glasgow designer Flossy and Dossy, down by the water side under a cherry blossom tree.

The ceremony took place in the Dornie Catholic Church which was packed to the rafters with friends and family. We all then headed back to Plockton where everyone met up at the Plockton Hotel for a few drinks and canapés before the procession up to the reception marquee. The newlyweds were piped up the road followed by all the smiling faces of their guests and although a few drops of rain did fall the sun never disappeared. After food, speeches and the cutting of the cake the crowd took to the dance floor and didn’t stop till the wee hours of the morning.

Inverness Registration Office Wedding

We were at the Inverness Registry office yesterday afternoon for the wedding of Chris & Jill who wanted to have a small ceremony with their nearest and dearest.

It was a wonderful ceremony and due to the icy winds outside we decided to make use of the front entrance for the family and group shots. Thankfully I had already checked and since it was the weekend and theirs was the last wedding of the day we could make use of this space. After the post wedding photo session the whole group headed of the Glenmoriston Hotel for a fabulous meal. Since this was an evening wedding we really wanted to get additional shots of the newlyweds by the riverside of Inverness with the evening lights glittering around them so we took a brief walk up the road to get the Ness Bridge in the background. It was all very exciting as it was bonfire night and the streets were full of people and passersby were giving the new couple many congratulations.

Wedding Locations Scotland

One of the amazing things about getting married in Scotland is that you can have your wedding ceremony wherever you want! The highlands provide lots of stunning locations that mean you can create a truly unique wedding event. At Krisp Camp Photography we are ready to go to any location with you to photograph your highland wedding whether it is a stunning beach, a famous castle, an enchanted woodland or a peak overlooking your favorite loch. One of our recent weddings was set in the picturesque village of Plockton, known as the jewel of the highlands. After an outdoor ceremony the newlyweds led a procession which journeyed to the classic highland sound of bagpipes through the village to the town hall where the reception was held. This provided for some unique photos of the wedding couple and their guests as they walked along the harbour street. After some cocktails and a brief rain shower I took the couple outside to get some wedding portraits of just the two of them, I wanted to capture the essence of this charming little village and create some memories. The bride just happens to be from the states and the groom is Scottish so I knew that getting a photograph of them with the iconic red phone-box would make a fun shot that the family back home would love. Thankfully with the right angle I also managed to get the crags which overlook Plockton into the shot too.

Bagpipes and a Plockton Wedding

Dol and Mal tied the knot on July 2nd 2016 with a beautiful loch side ceremony in a gorgeous garden in the little village of Plockton. In typical highland style the weather was ever changing that day but the skies cleared just in time for the ceremony and held out as the couple lead the procession of guests through the village while the groom’s brother played the bagpipes. It created a real sense of atmosphere and brought well wishers into the street.

The procession culminated at the village hall where the celebrations began. Just as the crowd began tasting the selection of fabulous canapes and cocktails in the safety of the village hall the rains returned, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. As the skies cleared again we grabbed the moment and got the shots of the newlyweds and family members in front of one of the most iconic views in Plockton with the famous crags in the background.

The speeches were fantastic, there were many laughs and some tears too and many of the guests left wonderful video messages for the new couple to watch along with footage of the whole day from the ceremony to the procession, the speeches and the ceilede where the Scottish guests tried to teach the American guests how to strip the willow! The night finished off with some great tunes and some great moves on the dancefloor with new friendships formed the night played on into the wee hours.
