As a Scottish elopement photographer, I can’t get enough of how beautiful this elopement at Glenapp Castle was. Emmanuel and Anna’s families were both in different countries, and the logistics of organising a wedding with everyone together was quite complicated. So instead, they decided to elope in Scotland in a beautiful and luxurious setting of Glenapp Castle.

Luxury Elopement Venue in Scotland

Situated on the West Coast of Scotland, between Girvan and Stranraer, Glenapp is a stunning wedding venue for an elopement. Anna and Emmanuel had booked a couple of nights stay at Glenapp Castle for their elopement. The staff were on hand and understood exactly what to do to make this day special. A piper accompanied them to their chosen spot for their elopement ceremony in the grounds of Glenapp Castle. We stood with Glenapp Castle behind them, while Emmanuel and Anna exchanged vows by the pond in the dappled shade of the trees. As a photographer of Scottish elopements I loved how the light worked under the open shade of the trees.

Fantastic Venue Staff

Afterwards, the staff from the castle had laid out champagne for the newlyweds to celebrate this romantic and intimate elopement. They were an amazing team to work alongside. They were incredibly accommodating and friendly. I loved how tranquil Glenapp Castle was for this elopement. It really felt like a world away from everywhere, in such an incredibly stunning 5-star hotel. Glenapp Castle would make a wonderful location for a Scottish wedding.

We had set aside a couple of hours for their elopement photography at Glenapp Castle. We explored the grounds, starting with the greenhouses and gardens. Following on from this, we headed towards the woodland area where Anna swapped her shoes to go barefoot. The local gardener suggested some fantastic hidden gem locations in the grounds. I loved being able to photograph this relaxed elopement at Glenapp Castle. Emmanuel and Anna were a wonderful couple to work with, so chilled out and easy going. As a Scottish elopement photographer I loved being able to wander around this beautiful setting.


This is what they said afterwards about their elopement photography at Glenapp Castle:

Thank you so much – the photos are amazing! I love the light so much. Also thank you for being so flexible on our wedding day and capturing it the way it unfolded.
