OUR ORIGINS

OUR ORIGINS

We fell into weddings on the cusp of the pandemic when a friend of a friend asked for some quick snaps of their intimate ceremony. The second we left, we knew this was what we were supposed to do. I'm pretty sure we spent the entirety of the £2000 we had in our savings account that night on a better camera. We've always in it for the long haul. 

And now, we're here as you're elopement team. 

To us, elopements feel like home. We're happiest in the mountains, making friends and exploring Scotland and Allta is how we come to share it all with you. 

Eloping is exactly what we plan to do too - we get the draw, we understand why you're here and we have nothing but love & respect for your decision. 


We've lived lives as graphic design and english students, marketers, web designers and as more typical wedding photographers.

Hi! I'm Abi and I'm always looking for the magic in Scotland's beauty...

Hi! I'm Abi and I'm always looking for the magic in Scotland's beauty 

I'm your email-answering, colour-grading, album designing side of Allta - oh, and I'm also your photographer. 

When I'm behind the camera I'll be guiding you through Scotland, taking some great shots along the way. I'll also be keeping you safe from faeries, kelpies and any other creatures we may encounter along the way. 

When I'm not behind the lens, I'm often found with my nose in a book. If I'm not in my reading nook I'll probably be somewhere in the highlands looking for beautiful glens, stone circles and worshipping the moon. 

I'm a lil bit witchy and a lil bit romantic and I bring all those vibes along with my camera to your special day.

Hey, I'm Darren and I'm almost as obsessed with Scotland as I am with videography

Hey, I'm Darren and I'm almost as obsessed with Scotland as I am with videography

I'm a graphic designer/videographer who'll happily geek out about favourite typographers and directors. I'll be shooting your video and designing your experience every step of the way, to ensure there's a little bit of Allta in everything you get :)

I'm going to go on fifteen tangents about Scottish history and folklore while we're on our session and make nearly as many dad-jokes until you tell me to stop! Oh and I may need to climb a tree or step in a river in our time together, but I swear it's worth it for the shot!

I'm addicted to coffee, camera lenses and wearing my kilt whenever even slightly possible.

tim & caley

They weave a special kind of magic, and we’re so glad they worked it on us for our wedding!

Yasmin & Jason

Their relaxed approach meant, as awkward people in front of a camera, we felt very relaxed and this came across in our photos... They captured our day to perfection.

cat & Eurig

If we could give Abi and Darren 10 stars, we would! It a nutshell, they are professional, friendly, make you feel at ease with incredibly good communication and most importantly, their photographs are INCREDIBLE!

SARAH & KYLE

I could not be happier that we chose Abi & Darren as our elopement photographers! They were fantastic from start to finish. So friendly and helpful every step of the way.

FAQ

Do you have payment plans?

Yes! We have a £500 booking fee to secure your spot. Afterwards, the remaining balance can be paid up to 1 month out from your elopement / session date. 

How many photos will we receive?

We deliver all the good photos, we'll never keep any photos from you in order to cap at a certain number. For a 2 hour couples session you can expect 150+ photographs, for a 4 hour elopement you can expect 300+. 

How will I receive my photos / video? 

You'll receive both your photos & video in an online gallery. They will be ready to view, download and share with loved ones. You'll also have access to an online store to purchase print products from some of our favourite photo labs. 

When will I receive my photos & film?

You'll receive your photos & film within 10 weeks. We spend a lot of time getting your photos and video perfect so your day is immortalised in art. 

Whats your postponement & cancellation policy?

Life happens! We're more than happy to reschedule your session provided we are available on your new date at no extra cost. For rescheduling we require a minimum 2 weeks notice. 
When it comes to cancellations, you may cancel your booking up to two weeks before the session date. At this point there will be no extra fees although your £500 retainer will not be refunded. 

Can we made edits to our video after delivery?

With our films, you get your day preserved in art. We don't want to give you another project to squeeze into your busy life. For this reason, we don't make changes to your videos after delivery. 

Can we have the RAW photos / footage?

Raw photographs and footage are unfinished and just one element in our processing post-session to deliver beautiful galleries and films. The files themselves are extremely large and require specialist skills and softwares to utilise. A crucial part of your photography and videography experience are the hours we put into hand editing & crafting your story in photos and film, this is what we're proud to deliver. 

For this reason we do not offer raw photos and footage to couples. 

Do you capture International Elopements / Sessions?

We do not. We work exclusively in our home country, Scotland as we believe it is the most special place to elope. Born & raised in Scotland, working here and sharing our culture is what we do best and it's where we can create the strongest experiences for our couples. We are experts in the landscape, weather, safety considerations and in photographing Scotland - all of which are why it's important to hire local Scottish vendors. 

In the past we've had the privilege of photographing love stories internationally, though we have no immediate plans to offer this again. 

What we're really saying is elope in Scotland, its the best choice you'll ever make.
