Alternative to Glencoe Elopement – Photographer for Intimate Wedding at Mar Lodge, Braemar
Looking for an alternative to Glencoe elopement photographer?
This intimate wedding at Linn of Dee, within the beautiful Mar Lodge Estate near Braemar, is exactly that. For couples who love wild landscapes, natural moments, and meaningful details, this Scottish elopement offers a peaceful, personal alternative to busier Highland spots.
When couples start searching for a place to elope in Scotland, Glencoe often comes up first—and it’s easy to see why. But if you’re looking for something just as stunning, with a little more privacy and a slower pace, Mar Lodge Estate near Braemar is a beautiful alternative.
These two started their wedding planning journey on the National Trust for Scotland website, and that’s where they discovered Linn of Quoich—a forested, riverside spot tucked inside Cairngorms National Park, full of heather, mossy paths, and that soft, magical light Scotland does so well.
They signed the National Park contract to secure their ceremony spot and chose Mar Lodge for its flexibility, quiet beauty, and the option to move indoors if needed. Here’s more info on weddings at Mar Lodge Estate.
A Day That Felt Like Them
This was a simple, personal elopement—with just their closest people and the forest all around them. They chose Linn of Quoich for its quiet beauty and made the space their own.
They didn’t need perfect weather. We had a morning mist, some clouds, and then the sun came out which made the whole thing feel timeless.
The Forest Was Theirs
This is why I love these kinds of weddings, just true moments in time. The whole day felt calm, easy, and joyful. There was laughter, warmth, and space to just be.
As an alternative to Glencoe elopement photographer, I help couples find quiet places that feel personal. If that’s you—if you want your wedding day to feel like a moment in time, not a performance—I’d love to help you plan something honest, beautiful, and entirely yours.
