A Sligachan Hotel Wedding Day on the remote Isle of Skye in Scotland.

An Intimate Wedding Day at the sligachan hotel on the Isle of Skye in Scotland | Sligachan Hotel wedding Ceremony
and dinner Reception

Julia and Bobby flew all of the way from boston to get married at the Sligachan hotel on the isle of skye, in the highlands of scotland. the Sligachan hotel was able to accommodate all of their guests to be able to stay together, who also all traveled over from all over the United stated to witness Julia and bobby say “i do” to forever. Bobby got ready with his guys in the largest suite in the sligachan hotel’s main building, while julia got ready in a large cabin overlooking the Cuillin mountain range, just across the river from the hotel. While The lovely ladies at Bonny’s Wonderland worked on Julia’s beautiful hair and makeup that morning, the talented team of scarlet and bell, alongside the ladies at gloam, were in full designing mode with the floral arrangements and decor for the ceremony and intimate reception for later that day.

For their first look, they walked to meet in between both of their getting ready locations and met on the top of the sligachan bridge overlooking loch Sligachan with the stunning mountain range of the Cuillins framing the scene behind them. For their portraits we roamed around the land nearby the hotel, but still had the Cuillins in the backdrop, as they are just so stunning, even amidst the endless fog. it was actually raining leading up to the time when we were suppose to have the first look, but the rain stopped just in time for them to greet each other on top of sligachan bridge and then stroll for half an hour for portraits together on the isle of skye. That’s really all of the time you need for portraits, and it was perfect, as just as the ceremony was about to start the rain commenced again, but everything else was tucked away for the rest of the evening, inside the quaint sligachan hotel.

At the back of the sligachan hotel there is a restaurant called seumas’ Bar, that is where both the ceremony and reception took place. in between the two events the guests were led by a bagpiper to the front bar by the lobby of the hotel for cocktails and Hors d'oeuvres. The ladies at Gloam, alongside Mercedes of SCarlet & bell, did all of the planning and event styLing and decor. I’ve worked alongside scarlet and bell quite a bit now, and the attention for detail as well as the pleasure they are to be around, makes her and her team the loveliest wedding planners in scotland to work with, especially if you are traveling in from america, like julia and bobby were. The team at Gloam I have also had the pleasure of working with a lot and they are just gems to be around as well as so dedicated and focused on their craft. I haven’t even mentioned the creativity yet, but gloam has some of the best floral arrangements and installation designs for any space in scotland.

THe evening was filled with three long tables lined with florals and dimly lit by candlelight. THe mood of the evening was so intimate and sweet, with SPEECHES being made, a live band for everyone to learn a CEILIDH dance, as well unique games (like Biñho board) being spread about the room for those going up to the bar to mingle and partake in. Which if you know me, you know how much i LOVe board games and games in general. I definitely tried them all by the end of the night, for sure. Overall, this was a beautiful and intimate night filled with the landscape of scotland with the classiness of a candlelit intimate dinner with all of your loved ones in the highlands of scotland. A truly beautiful wedding day at the sligachan hotel.

“THe Sligachan Hotel, on the isle of skye, was the perfect place for an intimate wedding ceremony and reception in the highlands of scotland.”

If you are looking for an elopement photographer in Scotland, I would absolutely love to capture your love in the Scottish Highlands! I have traveled all over Scotland, and not only have shot real weddings, but have done so many trips to explore the land for leisure as well as to scout for future brides who are flying into Scotland. It’s so fun to do styled shoots in new areas of Scotland because you get to find the best areas and scout for unique landscapes that haven’t been shot before by other photographers. It’s so nice to try and find different places for every bride that is traveling to Scotland. The main Scottish landscapes are of course excellent venues to elope, but I really love finding places to elope in Scotland that are more off the beaten path and less traveled to. I just really love going on hikes in Scotland. Just being in the fresh air, experiencing new places and being so far away from the rest of the population is one of my favorite places to be. Capturing weddings started as a way to document people in love and I’ve thankfully with the help of trusting couples, have made a create a career out of it, but now I have started the nature aspect of it just as much. There is something about photographing a couple and their raw love amongst the elements of the mountains and sea coastlines, that truly makes their wedding photos have a raw and authentic feel to them. Scottish elopements are such a beautiful thing to capture, and if you choose to elope somewhere with your best friend, I would love suggest traveling to Scotland and finding an elopement photographer to document your love. And if you need any suggestions for places to elope in Scotland, please reach out and ask! I love to help couples plan their elopement anywhere, but especially in all of the beauty that is the Scottish Highlands.
