As an experienced Isle of Skye wedding photographer, we are honoured to share our favourite pictures of Alanna and Brianna’s same-sex wedding.
Alanna and Brianna travelled from Wisconsin, USA, for their small, intimate elopement wedding on the Isle of Skye.
Travelling to Skye for an elopement wedding makes a lovely change from our usual wedding photographer in Edinburgh scene!

Zoe and Billy – married at Dundas Castle, Edinburghwouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!Jonathon and Claire are the loviest couple.. from our very first communication they made us feel special and were so interested in who we are as people! They tailored everything just for us, and had they not radiated such beauty and kindness, we wouldn’t have even known they were there… and for two people like us who HATE getting photos taken, we had a great time and felt so comfortable!
We got married on 31st December, and they gave up their own celebrations with their families to help us capture ours...
We truly hit the jackpot, and wouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!
Please don’t pass up the opportunity on having these two look after your special day! Very trustworthy and fantastic value for money.

Isle of Skye Wedding Photos
Here is a selection of our favourite Isle of Skye wedding photos from Alanna and Brianna’s elopement.
You might also enjoy watching our highlights video of this fabulous day in Skye.
Pre-ceremony Preparations
What a great day we spent with these wonderful girls.
What a fabulous journey they made (not only in air miles but in something much more powerful) in making their dream Scottish destination wedding one of the most beautiful and memorable of the year.
We met the girls and their lovely family at their holiday cottage, Willowbank Cottage, Broadford, on Skye early in the afternoon of the wedding.
The atmosphere was calm and relaxed.
Family and friends drank Mimosa cocktails as Jonathon and I captured video and photos of the wedding preparations. It was an excellent start to our day as Isle of Skye wedding photographers!
First Look
Later, Brianna went into the garden with her family and waited for ‘the first look’ of the beautiful bride, Alanna.
What an emotional moment as Brianna saw Alanna in her stunning wedding dress for the first time.
After hugging and kissing each other, we made our way with Alanna and her wee Granny to the wedding ceremony, and Brianna and the guests followed in separate cars.
Scouting For The Perfect Ceremony Location
The day before the wedding, Alanna and Brianna took a drive to the north of the island.
They had a ‘recce’ around the area to find the perfect location for the wedding ceremony.
They had considered the beautiful Fairy Glen, with its Hobbit-like features, but found their ideal spot away from lots of tourists and the congestion of cars.
It was a place that still offered the most sublime viewpoint and had plenty of parking (a rare find on Skye), making it easily accessible for the wedding party.
Ceremony at the Quiraing
We were delighted with their choice of location at a place called ‘The Quiraing‘.
Isle of Skye wedding photographers can easily follow the ‘crowd’ of other creatives by taking couples to the same places.
Sadly, often, there’s nothing fresh or necessarily creative about shooting the same photos at the exact locations.
Thankfully, Alanna and Brianna wanted something different and unique.
Stepping away from the popular wedding spots on the Isle of Skye, the girls were willing to go off the beaten path.
A short hike from the car led them to an extraordinary place offering wonderful views across Skye. The backdrop of The Quiraing was both imposing and inspiring.
Alanna and Brianna chose to celebrate their love and union in a wonderfully personal humanist wedding ceremony.
The Quiraing is a spectacular, jaw-dropping landslip on the eastern face of Trotternish, a peninsula at the northernmost point of the Isle of Skye.
This place and its romance take your breath away.
It’s a place where you go to…just be.
It’s that old thing about nature.
It makes you feel great. It’s good for the soul and even better for the mind.
A place where you can think, dream and fall in love with its remoteness.
A place where you can reminisce and look forward to the future.
This is a special place full of wonder and amazement.
A mystical place that you could never tire of.
A rich beauty that rewards the memories you make and take away will stay in your heart forever.
Humanist Marriage Ceremony
So somewhere on a rugged hilltop is our couple’s magical little spot where they tied the knot in the ancient Celtic handfasting tradition.
As we stood there shooting photos as Isle of Skye wedding photographer and videographer, this pair of lovers, best friends, and soul mates became one.
We knew we were witnessing something remarkable.
Their beautiful humanist wedding ceremony brought laughter and tears and was personable, with just the right level of humour, as the celebrant spoke of Alanna and Brianna’s love story.
A modern-day love story, Alanna and Brianna met online.
They started as friends, but over three years together, their relationship and love for each other grew stronger and blossomed into this celebration on the Isle of Skye.
Our newlyweds shared their first drink as a married couple, each taking a sip of sweet whisky liquor from the Quaich, an ancient Scottish tradition symbolising love, trust, and their bond.
Newlywed Photoshoot
There was so much emotion in one day as our newlyweds were congratulated with hugs and kisses.
Photos of the happy couple with their friends and family were taken.
Guests then made their way to the Uig Hotel for some refreshments.
After using the glorious scenery entirely, Jonathon and I took Alanna and Brianna for their newlywed photo shoot.
The weather was kind, and we could fly the drone.
There was a lot of kissing, which is precisely what’s needed on a wedding day!
Congratulations to Alanna and Brianna.
It’s been a pleasure being your Isle of Skye wedding photographer.
