“Elopements in Scotland: Cinematic Films for Intentional Weddings — Just the Two of You.”
SCOTLAND ELOPEMENT VIDEOGRAPHER
Hi There, I’m Ross , a freelance videographer based in Glasgow, specialising in intimate elopements across Scotland. I work with couples who want their wedding day to feel unhurried, meaningful, and true to who they are — whether that’s on a quiet hillside, beside a still loch, or somewhere completely unexpected.
My approach is simple: I focus on the quiet, honest moments. The small gestures. The way light moves through the landscape. The atmosphere of the place you’ve chosen. I film unobtrusively, allowing your day to unfold naturally, without interruption or performance.
What I offer
• Discreet, low-key coverage that preserves the feeling of your elopement
• Story-driven films that reflect your connection and your surroundings
• A natural, documentary style with subtle cinematic touches where they suit the moment
• Flexible travel across Scotland — from the Highlands and islands to lochs and city elopements
How I work
Before your elopement, we’ll have a relaxed consultation to talk through your plans, locations, and what matters most to you. I’m happy to help with timing and light so you get the most from your chosen setting, without turning the day into a schedule.
On the day itself, I keep my kit minimal and my presence low-profile, so everything feels calm, natural, and unforced. You’re free to be present with each other — I’ll take care of capturing the story as it unfolds.
Afterwards, your film is delivered via an online gallery with downloadable files, ready to revisit and share.

Getting in touch

FAQs
WHATS THE BEST MONTH TO ELOPE?
1
There’s no single perfect month to elope in Scotland — and that’s part of the magic. Some of the most popular times tend to be March, April, May, and September through November, thanks to softer light, quieter locations, and ever-changing landscapes.
That said, Scotland is beautiful year-round. Each season brings its own mood: fresh spring greens, long summer days, rich autumn tones, or dramatic winter skies. The “best” time really comes down to the atmosphere you’re drawn to and how you want your elopement to feel.
If you’re dreaming of something intimate, meaningful, and true to you, there’s no wrong season — just the one that matches your story.
WHY ELOPE IN SCOTLAND?
2
First of all — because Scotland gives you the freedom to do exactly that. It’s the only country in the UK where you can legally get married almost anywhere, as long as your ceremony is led by a registered celebrant. No rigid venues. No one-size-fits-all rules. Just the space to create a wedding day that feels like yours.
That freedom means your elopement can take place somewhere truly meaningful. Maybe it’s a location tied to special memories, a place you’ve always dreamed of exploring, or simply somewhere that makes you feel calm, alive, and completely present together.
From dramatic mountain landscapes and quiet, windswept beaches to ancient forests and still, reflective lochs, Scotland offers an incredible variety of romantic backdrops. Whatever kind of atmosphere you’re drawn to — wild, peaceful, cinematic, or softly romantic — there’s a place here that fits it perfectly
DO WE NEED WITNESSES?
3
To legally elope in Scotland you will need two witnesses to be present at your elopement ceremony. If you are being accompanied by family and friends, then they can witness your marriage. However, if you are planning an intimate elopement — with just the two of you — we are happy to act as your witnesses.
HOW LONG FOR THE DELIVERY OF THE FILM?
4
Around 8 weeks from the date of the elopement.
