The Dream Elopement Day
Elizabeth and Simon chose the library as the ceremony spot for their elopement at Glenapp Castle. It is a cozy, quiet room that is perfect for an elopement ceremony. After the ceremony, we explored the impressive interiors of the castle. From a wedding photographer’s perspective, the large windows and spotlights are fantastic. Elizabeth and Simon requested a darker, moodier wedding photography style, and the castle’s interiors are ideal for capturing romantic, dark-style portraits with natural light.
After a session in the castle’s interior, We explored the Glenapp Castle’s outdoor surroundings, starting with the gardens. Following from there, we headed towards the lochside. Walking over an impressive size area, we discovered some fantastic hidden gem locations in the woodlands. As a Scottish elopement photographer, I loved being able to wander around this beautiful setting. This relaxed elopement at Glenapp Castle was a joy to photograph. Elizabeth and Simon were easy easygoing, laid-back couple to work with.
