If your idea of a romantic Scottish elopement includes a clifftop castle ruin then you can’t get much better than Dunnottar Castle. And even more romantic in those snuggly Winter\/Spring months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shying away from planning a big wedding, Evan + Quinn chose to elope so they could spend the day focused solely on each other and their relationship. (Whilst also enjoying their shared love of travel!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They chose to elope at Dunnottar Castle after having a particularly memorable trip to Ireland earlier in their relationship – they wanted somewhere that felt similar but a new adventure together. With a shared Celtic history, the two countries are closely linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evan + Quinn eloped in March – which is a wonderful time to elope at Dunnottar Castle (and Scotland in general!) March falls on the shoulder season (it’s right on the border of Winter and Spring) which means it can be unpredictable but that’s part of the fun! I also think those shoulder seasons bring the best light conditions – especially for sunsets and sunrises. And this elopement day certainly confirmed that with one of the best sunsets we witnessed in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eloping at Dunnottar Castle<\/a> outside of summer is strongly advised – it’s a popular tourist destination, especially between May-September. And the way that the permit to elope there works, it can be quite crowded for your ceremony if you choose summer depending on location and timings available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These photos are INCREDIBLE!!! Truly amazing. You captured us and the scenery so well. We’re basically speechless. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.<\/p>– Evan + Quinn<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Getting ready for a Dunnottar Castle elopement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Evan + Quinn shared a beautiful and relaxed morning at their AirBnB in Stonehaven – a cute coastal town just a short drive from the castle. They chose to start the day as they normally would by getting ready together. It was wonderfully chilled out as they helped each other get into their outfits whilst drinking coffee together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographing getting-ready preparations is one of our favourite things to do. There are many reasons why it’s so important to capture these moments including<\/p>\n\n\n\n
