A lot of the couples who find their way here have spent years building a life they genuinely love.
A home full of character. Favourite restaurants they return to again and again. Weekends spent in the garden, walking the dog, hosting friends for dinner, or planning their next trip together.
When it comes to their wedding, they're not looking for something bigger.
They're looking for something that feels meaningful.
A day that reflects the life they've already created together.
One that leaves space for beautiful surroundings, thoughtful details, good conversation, and the people they care about most.

With every eloping couple, I help shape a photo timeline that feels natural and unhurried, supporting the light, flow, and moments that matter most so your day unfolds comfortably.
When you book me, you work solely with me. I photograph and edit every image, ensuring your story is crafted with my signature style and full attention.
A decade in the industry means I can connect you with florists, planners, and creatives whose work aligns beautifully with a refined, romantic vision.
You'll never be hit with surprise extra fees. In my pricing, what you see is what you get.
Each image is hand-edited in my cinematic, colourful style, creating a cohesive and heartfelt visual narrative. Your images are delivered in a simple, private online gallery, with complete freedom to download, share, and print.
You’ll never be left wondering or waiting. I’m here throughout your planning process for questions, ideas, reassurance, and anything you need to feel prepared and supported from day one.
So that you can relive the excitement of the day straight away! And share those special elopement moments with loved ones.
One of the biggest misconceptions about intimate weddings and elopements is that they only need a few hours of coverage. But some of the most meaningful celebrations I've photographed have unfolded across an entire day or even two.
An all-day celebration gives you the freedom to enjoy your wedding without constantly watching the clock. To have a slow morning. To exchange love letters over coffee. To wander through a walled garden while the roses are in bloom. To share a long lunch with family. To take a walk together before dinner. To linger over good food and conversation as daylight begins to soften. And to preserve it all in your photographs.
The photographs become a richer story because the experience becomes richer.
We absolutely loved Sarah! Our photos are incredible and she was a delight to work with. Sarah was so fun to have around and she truly captured the magic of our day! Couldn’t recommend her enough!
-Jess & Louis
Imagine this.
You wake slowly in a beautiful hotel, cottage or country house. A bouquet of gorgeous seasonal flowers arrives while you're getting ready. A handwritten note from your love waits on the bedside table. There is no rush. No pressure. Perhaps you and your partner get ready together or you see each other for the first time beneath old trees or in a quiet courtyard. Your ceremony feels intimate and personal. You exchange vows between just the two of you or maybe with a few close family in attendance.
Champagne is poured. A cake awaits on a picnic blanket ready to enjoy. The afternoon stretches ahead of you. You wander through gardens, explore the city, stop in at a coffee shop together or spend time somewhere meaningful to you. A classic car takes you to a candlelit dinner. The evening feels warm and unhurried.
No two elopement days will be the same. Your wedding should feel completely your own.
I'm an Edinburgh-based luxury elopement photographer specialising in romantic and refined photography.
When I got married in 2014, I chose to elope and it was a fantastic decision. It was the perfect day for us, so I know the benefits of eloping and spending a special day doing all the things you love.
II've always believed that the most memorable weddings feel connected to the time of year they're celebrated.
Every season brings its own atmosphere.
Spring weddings feel hopeful and full of anticipation. Summer celebrations invite people outdoors and encourage long conversations that stretch into the evening. Autumn brings richness, warmth, and beautiful light. Winter weddings feel intimate, candlelit, and deeply romantic.
Rather than trying to create the same wedding in every season, I love helping couples embrace what makes each time of year special.

"We saw so many photographers who drain all the colour out and everything looks so pale and grey. Sarah’s editing is amazing! The photos are all so full of life and colour."
-Nellie & Michael
"It was so easy to communicate with Sarah and we felt really comfortable discussing what we wanted and trusting her guidance & vision for the shots, as well as local knowledge of the area."
-Darcy & Hamish
"Had the most fabulous experience with Sarah and she offered great value. The photos are truly stunning: happy, romantic, and really capturing the joy and fun of the day. We'd wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone without hesitation."
-Greta & Seumas
No two elopements look exactly the same, but they are all centered around what matters most to my couples. A sense of occasion. And the changing rhythm of the season they're celebrating in. Personal, meaningful and unhurried.
Some couples choose a quiet ceremony for two, followed by an afternoon exploring a beautiful landscape together. Others gather their closest family and friends for a celebration in a garden, a historic venue, or around a long dinner table filled with conversation and candlelight.
My elopements are designed to give you the freedom to experience your wedding day fully, while knowing every part of it is being thoughtfully documented.
From planning support and timeline guidance to the final gallery you receive, my role is to make the experience feel calm, considered, and genuinely enjoyable from beginning to end.
Full day elopement collections in Edinburgh start at £1800. Enquire for a bespoke price, based on your location and plans.
