Meg and Alex's Isle of Skye Elopement Adventure: Love, Laughter and a little fog
Ah, Scotland. Land of misty mountains, dramatic coastlines, and weather that can only be described as “completely unpredictable.” It’s the perfect backdrop for an elopement, especially if you’re the adventurous, go-with-the-flow type. Enter Meg and Alex, a duo who didn’t just embrace the chaos of Scottish weather – they made it part of their story.
A Quiet Morning and a first look
Their day began quietly, with Meg and Alex sharing a beautiful first look at An Corran Beach, just steps from the cosy cottage where they stayed. This wasn’t just any beach – it’s one of those places that feels like it was plucked straight from a dream. With their daughter Lillie and a small circle of loved ones by their side, the scene was set for something truly magical.

The ceremony: rain, fog and a first dance
Originally, the plan was to have their ceremony at the iconic Quiraing, where sweeping views and dramatic cliffs would serve as witnesses to their vows. But Scotland had other ideas. Cue torrential rain and fog so thick it felt like the landscape itself had decided to hide.
Rather than fight the weather, we pivoted to An Corran Beach for the ceremony. And what a ceremony it was. Rain danced around us as they exchanged vows, their love as constant as the waves rolling onto the shore. There was a heartfelt handfasting, and once they were officially hitched, Meg and Alex celebrated with a spontaneous first dance right there on the beach. It was messy, intimate, and perfect.

Adventuring into the fog
Now, about that fog. After the ceremony, the weather began lifting just enough to tease us with a glimpse of what might have been. But instead of mourning the lost view, we embraced the ethereal vibe it created. We trekked to the Quiraing for portraits, where visibility was… let’s call it “limited.”
Imagine standing in a world where you can only see a few metres ahead, the rest swallowed by mist. It was eerie, intimate, and utterly unique. Meg and Alex’s laughter echoed in the quiet as we wandered through the fog, turning what could have been a challenge into one of the coolest parts of their day. Pretty epic, right?

The sun makes an appearance
The next morning was the polar opposite of the previous day – sunny, warm, and gloriously clear. Perfect weather for part two of Meg and Alex’s adventure: a private boat trip to Loch Coruisk.
Loch Coruisk isn’t the easiest place to get to (unless you fancy a day-long hike across questionable terrain), but that’s what makes it so special. The boat ride itself is a thrill, with seals often lounging on the rocks and the kind of scenery that reminds you why Scotland is considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. Meg and Alex soaked it all in, revelling in the chance to just be together after the whirlwind of the day before.
A tale of two days
What makes elopements like Meg and Alex’s so special is their flexibility. Plans change, weather surprises you, and you end up with a story that’s uniquely yours. They struck the perfect balance: a heartfelt ceremony shared with their closest family, followed by an adventure that was just for them.
Meg and Alex’s elopement was a reminder of what it means to go with the flow, embrace the unexpected, and let the day unfold exactly as it’s meant to. And if that means dancing in the rain one day and basking in the sun the next? Well, that’s just the magic of Scotland.
If you’re dreaming of your own Isle of Skye or Scotland elopement, let’s chat! Whether you’re ready to brave the fog, chase the sun, or just see where the day takes you, I’d love to help capture every beautiful, unpredictable moment.
