Wedding Photography Skye | Hayley & Phil | Duisdale Hotel, Isle of Skye
Apr 07, 10
Last Saturday I photographed one of the most romantic weddings ever. Hayley and Phil met six years ago in Aberdeen and now live in Richmond, near London. They eloped to Skye and chose me to photograph their special day. After a very touching ceremony from local registrar Elizabeth, we spent an hour in and arounds the grounds of Duisdale Hotel in Sleat before the happy couple flew off for a tour of Skye and Lochalsh – Phil had organised a suprise helicopter trip for his new wife. It was, for a romantic like me, just perfect! Please feel free to leave a comment for them below.

STUFF ABOUT ME
I live where I grew up, in the north-west Highlands of Scotland, near the Isle of Skye. I left home at 18 and returned 18 years later and I've worked as a secretary, a marketing assistant, a PR manager, and a local news reporter.
Although I've always loved looking at pictures in magazines, I didn't really get 'into' photography until I was quite old - 36!! Now, five years on, it is my full time occupation and I DO love it, but that is as much from the folk I get to meet and the fun of being part of a wedding day, as it has to do with having a camera in my hand. I just really, really like meeting new people, especially happy people!
Here's another few snippets of info:
At 34 I had an early midlife crisis and took off on a long trip from London to Kenya via Russia, Mongolia, China, Tibet, Nepal, India and several African countries - it was the best year of my life.
I never gave up on the idea of finding 'the one' and a few weeks ago - aged 41! - I walked down the aisle myself.
The second biggest love of my life is Flora - the funniest, cleverest, cutest little doggy ever!
I've climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and done a Marathon - okay, it was the Moonlight Bra Walk Marathon....but 26.2 miles is 26.2 miles!
I love perfume - especially if the bottle is quirky; my latest purchases were Gucci Flora and Balenciaga.
Coming back to my roots is the best thing I've ever done; Edinburgh and London - good times - but now I can have a dog, grow my own veg, breathe clean air and see the sea, every single day.
I love films, magazines and eating - if I can do all three while camped out on the couch or in the bath, I'm happy!
I am quite a soppy romantic, and I really, really, really love my job.
Stunning Lynne. Those pictures make me want to elope! Gorgeous.
I agree – I want to elope too now because of these pics!
Phil and Hayley – Anne, Ken and all the team at Duisdale with you a long and happy life together. You were lovely to deal with before, during and after your marriage. I love the pictures, especially the one on the rocks – the colours are just sensational – Lynne, you just keep inventing new techniques all the time – better and better! Very well done.
