Wedding Photography Toravaig Hotel – Isle of Skye | Amber & Neil
Well, some of you know I’m a soppy old soul and what could be a better job than photographing an elopement. Amber and Neil arrived on Skye from their home in London to run away and get married. They have a painting of The Cuillin over their mantlepiece and wanted to spend their honeymoon surrounded by these magnificent mountains. Toravaig Hotel in Sleat was their venue of choice and staff David and Anita were on hand as witnesses for the ceremony, conducted by the lovely Meg Gillies, chief registrar. It was a very emotional ceremony and even Meg was nearly shedding a tear! Amber looked beautiful in her dress but it was her shoes she loved the most – very cool and I’m fancying a pair for my own wedding next year – while Neil wasn’t left out in the accessories stakes with a ring made from a meteorite found in Namibia. Anyway here are some of their images and please feel free to leave a message for the couple in the comment box 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.
Wow! Thank you so much Lynne, they look wonderful.
