Isle of Skye Elopement Photographer
Forget What a Wedding Is Supposed to Look Like
What if your wedding day wasn’t about seating plans, schedules and keeping everyone else happy? What if it was simply about the two of you, somewhere breathtaking, getting married in a way that actually feels like you?
The Isle of Skye is the perfect place to begin married life, instead of having a wedding day
You can say your vows beside a loch, beneath the mountains, on a beach or on a cliff. Skye is wonderfully wild, a destination for the adventurous and the romantic, and where your only uninvited guests are likely to have four legs and a woolly coat.
Your elopement can be simple. Just the two of you, with whatever wedding clothes you choose, walking boots, champagne, sandwiches in the car afterwards… There really aren’t many rules. It’s your wedding, and when you elope to Skye, you get to decide what it looks like.
How much does it cost to elope to the Isle of Skye? I break it all down for you – just click the link below.
Two Hours is PLENTY of Time for Photos
If you’re planning a traditional, big wedding, you may look for a photographer who will give you 10 hours of coverage. But when you elope, everything is different.
Many of the couples I photograph choose an elopement because they don’t want their wedding day to become an enormous production. For most Skye elopements, two hours gives us plenty of time, for plenty of photographs.
In two hours, I will photograph your ceremony, capture the moments immediately afterwards and then take you away for portraits at one or two carefully chosen locations.
That means you get a beautiful photographic story of your wedding without spending the whole day with a camera following you around.
You’re married!
The rest of the day belongs to you.

Where Can We Elope on Skye?
Almost anywhere!
One of the wonderful things about getting married in Scotland is that your legal ceremony doesn’t have to take place inside a licensed wedding venue. And that means you have some spectacular possibilities!
The Quiraing gives you enormous dramatic landscapes. Sligachan has mountains, water and easy access. The Fairy Pools are beautiful if you choose your timing carefully. There are beaches, lochs, cliffs and quieter corners of the island that you may never have come across while planning your trip online.
The most famous location isn’t automatically the best location for your elopement.
I’ll help you think about what you want the day to feel like, not simply which Skye landmark you’ve seen most often on Instagram.

Coming From the USA?
I photograph lots of couples who travel to the Isle of Skye from overseas, particularly from the USA, and I know that organising a wedding thousands of miles away can feel slightly daunting.

Planning an Elopement To the Isle of Skye? The Quick Answers
I can’t THANK YOU enough!
I had always hoped to have this moment on the Isle of Skye and you helped make it a reality. The photos are beautiful and I even started to tear up looking through them. You did such a great job finding the balance of small candid moments and the magnificent views. We had a wonderful time with you.
Penny was WONDERFUL!
Penny was wonderful to work with. After reviewing her work and pictures, we knew she was the one we wanted to capture our special day. Her knowledge and expertise on locations to capture stunning views in and around the Isle of Skye speaks for itself. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. She truly is a joy to work with and responsive to all our questions and needs. I would definitely hire Penny again for another photoshoot.
Penny is BRILLIANT!
Penny photographed our wedding at Eilean Donan Castle along with wedding photos around the South of Skye. She was brilliant – helpful, disarming, and friendly – and the photos are all amazing! Her local knowledge meant she knew exactly where to take us to get the most incredible photos even when the weather wasn’t on our side. We would highly recommend Penny to anybody looking for a photographer in Skye!
PENNY is a first class wedding photographer!
A first-class wedding photographer, Penny captured the spirit of our day perfectly. We met Penny the day of our wedding .. she was fun, relaxed and warm in personality which suited us wonderfully .. we had a very intimate ceremony and you wouldn’t have known Penny was there, yet when we saw the photos she took during the ceremony, she captured the sentiment and moment brilliantly.
Utterly THRILLED with photos from our wedding on SKYE!
We are totally and utterly thrilled with Penny’s photos from our wedding in Skye!! She was a super addition to our wedding – fun, friendly, creative and professional. The detail and emotion that she was able to capture was fantastic, and taking her creative lead was the best decision ever – some of the pics she has created are literally epic. We were impressed when we saw her portfolio, but being able to relive our amazing day through her photographs is just wonderful. I am 100% happy to recommend Penny to anyone lucky enough to be getting married in Skye or surrounding areas – she’s brilliant. Thank you so much Penny!!

Without Taking Over Your Wedding Day
I’m Penny, an Isle of Skye elopement photographer, and I actually live here on Skye.
I specialise in smaller weddings and elopements for couples who want beautiful photographs without turning their entire wedding day into a photoshoot. I’ll photograph the moments that matter, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and take you to some wonderful places for portraits afterwards.
I can also help with locations, timings and the practicalities of getting around Skye, because knowing the island makes an enormous difference when you’re planning a wedding here. When you book with me, I’ll send you my full location guide. In the meantime, have a read of my blog – there’s so much information in there. And LOTS of beautiful photographs too!

Your Skye Elopement
Your elopement doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s.
Some couples want to exchange vows somewhere completely secluded with nobody else around. Some bring their children. Some even bring their dog!
Some wear full wedding clothes and bring flowers and champagne, while others keep things simple. There’s no right way to elope. There’s only what’s right for you.
My approach to being your elopement photographer is much the same. Every elopement is unique, and no two galleries of photos will ever be the same.
I’ll give you direction when you need it, but I’m not going to spend your wedding day endlessly directing you into poses. I’ll photograph your ceremony, the laughter, the hugs and the celebration. We’ll create some beautiful portraits in the Skye landscape.
