Elisabeth & Matt

Growing up in Scotland Skye was one of those places I had always wanted to visit but had never managed to get to. When Elisabeth and Matt asked me to travel up to photograph an elopement photoshoot for them at the top of the stunning Old Man of Storr, I jumped at the chance of an adventure.

We met up the day before in Edinburgh to plan out the trip before travelling up the following day and meeting at the bottom of the hill. It was a rainy, misty Scottish day and we climbed as far up to the peak of the hill as we were able to due to the misty conditions. I love the atmosphere the mist gave us on the shoot, especially when a rain shower came in and we were right in the middle of the rain and wind.

I was totally blown away by the views and atmosphere in Old Man of Storr and it was truly special to join Elisabeth and Matt on one of the first of many adventures together as husband and wife. We shared an amazing meal together by the fireplace after the shoot which was totally bliss!

Embrace the wild of an Old Man of Storr Elopement

The rugged rocks of Old Man of Storr are stone monoliths created in an ancient landslide. The rock faces and the views out to sea with Rassay and Rona in the background make it the perfect backdrop for an Isle of Skye Elopement or adventure photo session.

Embrace the adventure and hike to the top of the hill, it will take 45min – 1 hour but I can guarantee it will be worth it. When I first went to Old Man of Storr back in 2016 the original car pack was a small pull-in at the side of the road and the hike was fairly difficult, now in 2024 there is a large car park and the path has been improved (this was done over the covid pandemic!). This also means that the area can be a lot busier, my top tip would be for a sunrise ceremony. If you are going for summer embrace an evening sunset elopement as it is light till around 10pm in the summer months.
