You've decided you want to ask one special person to spend the rest of forever with you.  You are also planning a trip to the Isle of Skye.  Is this the time to blend the two together with some sensational photography of this milestone in your lives?

We have prepared a dedicated page - Marry Me! - to give you some inspiration on locations and proposal planning.  Our FAQ page has some extra information too.  We are here to help in any way we can and to photograph the incredibly beautiful expressions and romantic euphoria of a proposal and engagement.

We all know that, over time, the value of photographs becomes greater until they are beyond priceless.  A photographic history of a family can become a visual family tree.  (It is important to label very old photographs for future generations.)  A new family is, in effect, conceived at a proposal and born at a wedding.  These life-landmarks should be photographed beautifully and meaningfully as part of the family's heritage.  There should not be disappointments or regrets over photography at such occasions.  The imagery should shine, depicting you at your most radiantly gorgeous.  These images will go on to be treasured until they are of inestimable worth too.  We would be honoured to help!

The Isle of Skye has so much to offer anyone considering eloping or proposing.  With such outstandingly stunning scenery - all in a smallish area - there is something for everyone, making any occasion celebrated here simply unforgettable.  Our Let's Elope! and Marry Me! pages feature a number of outdoor and indoor locations to inspire you together with image highlights from elopements and proposals shot in some of these areas.  The FAQ page also has a helpful section entitled "Which Outdoor Locations are Easily Reached?"  Should you need any guidance on location-choice or any other local knowledge, we would be delighted to help.

When the Euphoria Team undertakes preparation shots, it's our policy always to begin these with the bride looking her absolutely gorgeous best.  So, you won't see images of the bride with her hair wrapped in rollers or her make up missing.  The bride starts the day looking stunning and our preparation shots are of finishing touches - adding jewellery, adjusting the veil in place etc. - and, she stays stunning right through the day for every, single photograph!  Just the way a bride wants to be remembered!

Who could do such a thing to a beautiful gown?  Was it sabotage?  It seems like a chapter from Jane Eyre.  It was deliberately done.  What would the bride do now?

The bride herself had soaked her wedding dress in tea!  She wanted to create a vintage-feel by doing this and, as you can see, successfully achieved the look she wanted for her amazing elopement to the Fairy Glen, Isle of Skye.  We would have to say, "Don't try this at home yourself!"  If this is the sort of look you would like to achieve for your own elopement, do take some professional advice.

What could be more amazing than planning a secret proposal on the adventurous, romantic Isle of Skye?  Imagine keeping that beautiful box, with its sparkling ring, perfectly hidden as you visit this magical island.  You have been confidentially discussing your plans with your proposal photographers.  You have chosen your absolute favourite location for this special moment.  You reach into your pocket, gently drop on one knee and implore the person you love most to spend the rest of forever with you.  You see the shifting emotions of surprise, delight and ecstasy transform their face as they reach up their arms to hug you as never before.  This unforgettable landmark in your life is being photographed for you to share the joy, for you to treasure for always.  Let Euphoria solidify the magic into timeless imagery just for you. 

We do not mind admitting that we are obsessed with creative photography for elopements and proposals on the Isle of Skye.  Euphoria exists to produce original, gorgeous images for you to relive and share the most important days of your life - forever!

Euphoria's "birth" occurred when we brainstormed with Jerry Ghionis.  His personal and online training also has taught us almost all we know of the artistry of beautiful wedding photography.  Jerry has been a foremost educator in the art and business of creative photography.  He continues to inspire us as we have followed his education over the last 15 years.

In recent years, Jerry has fine-tuned his online education programmes and designed some amazing products for wedding and portrait photographers who want to perfect their craft.  We are thrilled to be able to use these so that we can produce the very best possible imagery for our clients.  Let's do something wonderful together for your proposal or elopement!

Dunscaith Castle is one of Skye's hidden gems,  The crumbling, moody ruin, on top of its cliff, contrasts with the tranquil surrounding views.

Take the road to Sleat in the south of Skye.  Then take the Ord turning to your right.  Continue to follow the road until it curves down to the beach.  Proceed up the hill to Tokavaig.  From Broadford to Duncscaith, the drive should take around 25 minutes.

The walk to the castle begins on a track leading to a couple of houses.  Remembering to park so as not to obstruct their access is really appreciated.  Keep a lookout for the sign stating, "Footpath to the Castle" and go along the track.  The walk normally takes around 20 minutes.  This is one of Skye's lesser-known locations and, frequently, we can get the spot to ourselves when photographing proposals and elopements - making it perfect for an extra intimate occasion.

The Euphoria Team enjoys all kinds of creative photography on the Isle of Skye, Scotland - how could we not with so many exciting couples and breath-taking backdrops to work with!  If we had to choose our ultimate favourite, it would likely be proposal photography for a number of reasons - the element of surprise together with the delightful, joyous expressions, the relaxed atmosphere with no real pressure on the couple, the utter euphoria of two people who have now promised their love is forever.  These are awesome features of a proposal/engagement shoot.  The photography is a wonderful treasure for this newly-formed family - even more enhanced if the couple have dressed up (though one of them does not know the real reason why!)

If you would like your proposal photography to be sheer euphoria, we would just love to hear your plans!

The idea of giving wedding or proposal photography or a wedding album as a gift has been one that we have recommended because it is the gift of a treasure, which increases in value as each year passes as well as giving everlasting pleasure.

We were contacted by Julia to arrange our elopement services, tailored to the bride and groom themselves.  When asked why she had chosen Euphoria particularly, Julia explained that she wanted photography that was truly different - not like everyone else's.  Part way through the photographic experience at the Quiraing, she expressed that she was well-pleased with her choice!  Julia has had the joy of giving a beautiful gift for her friends to enjoy and share forever.

To enquire about Euphoria wedding photography or proposal work as a gift for your family or friends, please tell us more using our contact form.

The easiest way to reach Loch Coruisk is by boat.  Misty Isle Boat Trips and Bella Jane Boat Trips are both experienced in catering for couples eloping to this amazing loch.  You can also bring your dog.

Is there a best time of year?  Spring has a lovely, bright light while Autumn time has a warm quality of soft, beautiful light.  In Summer, we would advise either early in the day or later in the afternoon as midday sun can be quite harsh and unflattering.

There are other good locations for photographs nearby - Elgol's sandy beach at the pier with the adjacent, amazingly-formed Honeycomb Rock - which makes an awesome backdrop for photography.  On the journey back to Broadford, we can stop at reflective, reedy pools and rugged mountain peaks for images, if you wish.

Registrars and Celebrants will happily travel with you to perform your personalised ceremony in your chosen location.

We would be delighted to work with you at Loch Coruisk, one of our favourite Skye wedding venues.  It has an atmosphere all its own with a haunting, surreal, serene feel - magical feel beyond your dreams - and definitely the perfect place to promise eternity to the one you love most!

We cannot wait to hear all your wedding plans!

Having your dog (or cat) at your wedding ceremony means that you get to include a precious member of your family in your special day.  Adorable dogs have been included in many elopements we have photographed.  One dog had the handfasting ribbon tied around his neck and was able to present it to the couple during the ceremony!

If you are planning to get married indoors, it is a good idea to check what the location-policy is but if you are marrying outdoors, why not include your pet?  If your dog does attend, perhaps he can get involved by carrying the handfasting cord too or even the rings or holding the flowers.  If you would like to get married or have an engagement shoot with your pet included, do get in touch.  We would love to hear all your ideas!

Norma and Sean Grieve form the Euphoria Team.  We love creating individualised imagery for clients on our beautiful Isle of Skye.  Sean is an expert sailor, qualified drone pilot and whizz-adult!  Norma strives for excellence in flattering lighting and posing and enjoys nature, reading and art.  You can find out a little more on our About page and see us in some light-heartedly odd situations on our Snippets section.  Hopefully, that will give you an idea of what we are like and, of course, you can judge our work on our Home, Gallery, Let's Elope! and Marry Me! pages.

We would love to get to know you too and work to produce the best images ever for you.

This lovely comment from a proposal photography client together with the comment below are favourites.  Why?  Because they encapsulate the entire purpose and existence for Euphoria Photography.  We want our romantic imagery to resonate and beautify landmark occasions in people's lives both now and for generations to come.

Coming from overseas to Scotland and eloping is a wonderful adventure.  Just you two sharing your love and commitment in an intimate ceremony amid the atmospheric Scottish scenery.  Beautiful photography shares the magic of your elopement when you return home.

Our Let's Elope! has helpful, essential, information for couples eloping to the Isle of Skye.  Please get in touch if you need any additional insider information or if we can help in any way.

For anyone contemplating a proposal on the Isle of Skye, personal and practical considerations are important together with the finished results in your gorgeous images.

Many couples dress up, as you will see from the proposal highlights on our Marry me! page.  How can this be achieved yet maintain the element of surprise?  You can find out more in our FAQ section.

Location choice also will indicate what is practical to wear.

Ultimately, we want you to have fabulous photography, catching all the beautiful expressions of this joyful event.  Please, reach out to discuss your plans and let's make your proposal momentous!

As always, at this time of year, it is time to gear up (sorry!)  Literally, we have been checking all our gear for the 2025 season, adding in a new back-up lens as well as swotting up on our seminars to keep our lighting and posing skills in top form.  Looking forward to creating some amazing, new stylised images for clients so that they can feel  as though they have just stepped of the pages of Vogue magazine.

This is an ideal time for crysatllising the details of your upcoming proposal.  For inspiration regarding location-choice, time-of-day and checking out our photography for this pivotal occasion, please explore our dedicated Marry me! page.  You can also see highlights from real-life proposals on Skye.  Look forward to hearing your plans!

The Isle of Skye can be amazing to see with atmospheric mists caressing the mountains, but what if the weather forecast is bad for your shoot?  Image quality will be much softer in rainy weather, which can create its own unique effect, but may not be your preference.

If at all possible, we can try to reschedule, either to a different time of day or even a different day.  For this proposal shoot, the weather was going to be poor.  We offered to reschedule but the proposer wanted to go ahead on the arranged day anyway.

We still had a fantastic shoot with lots of joyous memories for the couple!

The Euphoria team has had been busy with a number of projects which were not elopement or proposal-based photography but, we are delighted to have come full circle, ready get to work making gorgeous images for real people on the Isle of Skye.  What is your dream?  We do want to hear from you!

Which location would really resonate with your dream?  How can you make the final, perfect choice?  Please, check out our specially dedicated Let's Elope! page or Marry Me! page for inspiration.  Looking forward to learning your favourite choice!  If you are planning a wedding proposal or elopement in the Fife region, why not check out our Euphoria Fife Branch?

Beautiful beaches are a favourite photographic location for the Euphoria Team - for all types of photography, including landscape!  This dream beach is on the Isle of Jersey.  You can easily see why we love this one!  (Image shot in October.)

We have been working on a selection of images for the creator of the most amazing, intricate forms, constructed from driftwood.  These almost life-size horses are replicas of an outstanding racehorse and will be for sale in the future.  (Also, a first for the Euphoria team!)

Photographers love beauty, the unusual and unique as well as patterns and designs.  We were photographing at the beach at Leven, Fife and, although it is sad (and frustrating not to be able to help) the stranded jelly fish, in the warm, slanting, evening light, the colours and lavishly-designed patterns were enhanced in a way we had never seen before.

Hard to resist the clear, soft sands and lapping waves here, at Lower Largo, Fife.  The beach is relatively quiet with reflective pools and intriguing rock formations, some in startlingly strong colour.

Parking, accommodation and good food are all available nearby and the backdrop would be suitable for photographing any elopement or proposal.  Waves here can reach tremendous heights.  So, it is worth planning for this location in fine weather.  To book a wedding proposal or elopement shoot in this area, please check our sister site.

New locations are a win for everyone.  Even famous locations, photographed from a different angle, can become excitingly different.  Scotland's east coast beaches are a new location for the still photographers on the Euphoria team.  They are, therefore, a creative stimulus for us.  Let's get to work to encapsulate your unique style!

Sometimes, everyday people get to be models for the day - for various reasons.  With posing and lighting guidance from your photographers, anyone can take up the challenge to be a supermodel.  This Brother's Point Proposal, Isle of Skye illustrates this point.

Sometimes, it is hard to find the time for a complete break.  Recently, however, some of the Euphoria team had a full holiday on their beloved Isle of Jersey.  (Jersey is definitely a top location for all kinds of fashion photography too!)

With extra-hot, sunny weather every single day, the Euphoria girls came back fully refreshed, having loved every minute of their holiday.

This is the exciting and breathtaking Devil's Hole, also the scene of a vintage film.

To minimise time and travel, but maximise results, a single location with multiple backdrops can be a wise choice for your elopement, proposal or wedding photography.

For a wealth of different, dramatic and varied spots in a small area, you cannot choose better than the Isle of Skye.  Please check out our Let's Elope! page for inspiration and feel free to get in touch to brainstorm the best scenery for your event.

Islanders love other islands too.  There is a strong connection between the Isle of Skye and the Isle of Jersey for many Scots.  (In our case, an uncle, who was born on Skye, moved to live on Jersey.)

The Euphoria Team has maintained a close connection to the Isle of Jersey.  It is a fabulous island for any kind of photography.  Utilising the gorgeous, long stretches of beach, historic castles and buildings and intimate coves, fashion photography of all types can be exquisitely photographed here.

While photographing a vintage fashion shoot at Sligachan, Isle of Skye, some visitors came by with their large, ginger cat on a lead.  We immediately asked if we could add him into our photography.  The owners were very happy to allow this and the cat was equally happy to be shot.  

This unexpected element added a unique touch to form an immediately arresting, story-telling image with an effect outstanding.

Scottish fashion designs photographed in the home which inspired them surely would be the best choice.  The colours, textures, lighting, landscape and weather all influence Scottish fabrics and fashion designs, from couture to stylish outdoor clothing.  These influences can be echoed in the choice of location(s) for your designs.

Please, check out some exciting locations on our Let's Elope! and Marry Me! pages, which may help you make the perfect choice!

The style of photography should always spotlight and showcase the style of the individuals.  Every photography studio has their own particular style of artistic expression.  However, your chosen photographers should be able to absorb and reflect your individuality in their work.

Would you like dramatic, artistic, romantic images in which you simply shine?  Would you prefer dramatic and unusual backdrops, such as we have on the rugged Isle of Skye?  If this sounds right for you, we would simply love to hear your ideas . 

Euphoria's Norma had the opportunity to be interviewed by the internationally-acclaimed Scottish Couturier, Sandra Murray, for a a BBC Alba programme in the series Stoidhle - The Dressing Up Box - an exciting honour with more than a tinge of nerves!

I met Sandra beforehand and she shared her latest exciting designs and gave a foregleam of the interview the following day.  Our interview related to my interest in vintage fashions.  It featured a number of the gowns, capes and accessories in my collection.

The programme was filmed at Aigas House.

We have already considered the possibility of rain - and, actually, this element can be incorporated into a raw, wild type of photography - but there are also so many other elements in Scotland.

Wind can be utilised to accentuate drapes, folds and contours of the subject's form as well as creating a wild, natural effect in hair.  Still water can be used to design effective, arresting reflections, doubling the impact of the images.  Racing waterfalls and waves cause an exhilarating effect for both subjects and viewers.  Scottish mist creates a moody, ethereal, soft romantic effect.  Snow brings out the inner-child in the subject with a feeling of freedom and fun.

If you would like to utilise the elements in timeless photography, please do get in touch!

For anyone anticipating a shoot in Scotland, this question is a common concern.  When planning your photo-shoot, if you are able, you can allow for some flexibility of timing.

Where this is not possible, there are so many dramatic and romantic indoor or partially covered locations that, whatever type of photography, you can still have fantastic images!

If you have  never been to the wondrous Isle of Skye, you likely have seen many of its locations in films and in print.  Couples elope to Skye from all over the world to see its marvels for themselves and have their gorgeous photographs against these famous backdrops.  Proposal photography is also popular throughout the island's beauty spots.

The island has the perfect balance of varied locations for all types of photography, including showcasing fashion designs.  If you would like to check out some of these locations, please see our Let's Elope! page.  We would love to work with you and advise on the best scenery for your shoot!

You can meet the Euphoria Team and get to know a little about us here.  When we are photographing and there is a quieter moment, we like to catch an image or two of ourselves at work.  Sometimes, we get ourselves in strange positions in order to catch the shot, other times we demonstrate a pose and look strange.  Here are a few favourites from recent years.  To see more images of us in strange positione, please check out our Snippets page.

You have travelled to the mysterious and atmospheric Isle of Skye for a dramatic photo-shoot.  The weather is fine, all your creative team is present and you have selected the most appropriate location.  (Hopefully, you have chosen Euphoria Photography to devise gorgeous images.)  What else do you need?

In photographic terms, we often think of timing as choosing the exact moment to press the shutter/catch the pose and expression.  The accompanying image is a storey-telling shot.  The location is wild and dramatic, at the Fairy Pools.  So, the posing is appropriate.  However, the timing that is crucial is actually the time of day.  It was chosen for warm, flattering lighting for skin tones and the scenery plus, at a time when there would be few visitors to show the natural, free spirit of Scotland.  The Euphoria Team would love to help with the timing for your shoot too!

A fabric which is timeless, lasts a lifetime, is comfortable to wear, reflects the colours and landscapes of Scotland and is suitable for almost any occasion?  It just has to be Harris Tweed - perfect elegance and comfort for people to feel wonderful wearing.

We have been honoured to have the opportunity and pleasure of photographing Harris Tweed designs, here in Scotland.  Why not include some Harris Tweed in your wedding, elopement or proposal?

The Scottish weather is improving and the Spring landscapes bring their own bright freshness highlighting a positive,  free spirit -  ideal for stylishly photographing your elopement, wedding or proposal in a naturally glowing environment.

We would love to hear from you to be involved in creating original imagery for your occasion.

There is a simple formula for creating exciting fashion photographs to present your work.

1.   Select your most exciting designs.

2.   Choose a dramatic, unusual and interesting location.

3.   Engage fashion photographers who can design sensational images.

4.   Single out models who are youthful and engaging.

Euphoria's style can be described as classically contemporary, focusing on elegance and beauty, sculpting subjects with flattering, dramatic posing and lighting.  Every image should cause the viewer to stop, gasp and want to see more.

The Euphoria team draws inspiration from the fashion designs, stunning Scottish locations, dance, figure-skating, film and, of course, other photographers, such as our mentor, Jerry Ghionis and the innovative Queen of Photography, Bambi Cantrell.  For each shoot, we design tailor-made poses so that every client will have original, gorgeous images to treasure, share and relive forever.

If this approach sounds the right fit for you, let's brainstorm together.  Please, do get in touch.   If you would like to see the results of our inspiration, please see our Gallery together with our Let's Elope! and Marry Me! pages.

You are thrilled to collect the gorgeous gown.  You have followed its creation eagerly from choosing the design and embellishments to watching the intricate beading and final details being delicately applied.  Now, it is yours to take away and wear for the biggest event of your life.

The couturier hands it, so proud of her creation, - in plain, brown paper.  There is no beautiful box, no sumptuous gauzy packing and ribbons, no anticipatory unveiling.  

The most enduring and increasing-in-value element of your wedding, is your photography.  Your professional wedding photographer provides the exquisite, visual  packaging in photographs to treasure - for always.   There is no substitute for fine photography on such occasions.  Let's give you the exquisite imagery you deserve!

A favourite sound, with the Euphoria Photography Team, is the endless song of the Lark.  This morning, out walking, the unmistakable sound of a Lark could be heard.  Why was this so remarkable?  It is only early February.

These fascinating birds can keep on singing, without a break, for long periods at a time and here, in Scotland, they can be heard vigorously singing even right on to June.

Clearly, today's Lark believes Spring is near - despite the chilly weather - and, for Isle of Skye Wedding, Elopement & Proposal Photographers, Spring really is good news!

The romantic-heroine-style subject just happens to face into the light, while allowing a dramatic shadow to sculpt her face.  The wind just happens to be blowing in the right direction to lift her hair and billow her gorgeous gown.  She naturally places her hand in a soft, elegant pose and softly  looks off to the side, just beyond the photographer.  Her partner neatly steps out behind her and enhances the flow of her gown by lifting it.  He cleverly directs attention to her by looking towards her.  We wish!

All the elements, which collude to form this image, were created.  Directing position and posing, in flattering light, creates the most powerful and memorable images.  It just simply does not happen by chance!

This gown was created by a designer in the United States.  So much thought and painstaking care has gone into the intricate beading, which distinguishes this dress.

It is imperative wedding and elopement photographers note these unique details and record them effectively so that clients receive wonderful imagery for their wedding.

It is really hard to think of any other profession viewed in quite such a diminished way as photography.  One very famous photographer was asked by a young boy what his job was.  After hearing that he was a photographer, the boy said, "That's not a real job!"

After all everyone has a camera, so that must mean everyone is a photographer?  I have a spanner.  So, I must be a mechanic!  I have a tennis racquet.  So, I can play at Wimbledon!

Have a second look at the accompanying image.  Do you know what was required to achieve this?  What was involved to create the warm lighting, the abstract shadows on the subject's face and the thoughtful pose?  To succeed in imaginative, dramatic lighting and posing requires training, application and practice. 

Please, let the professional photographer create stunning images, which will radiantly showcase your wedding or proposal at the level it deserves.

Scotland has such an amazing variety of unforgettable, dramatic locations - all different, yet many easily accessible.   Is this a significant reason why so many iconic films and prestigious car commercials take place in Scottish scenery?  

For Elopement and Proposal photography, Scotland has everything:  an extraordinary quality of light and colour - especially in earliest spring and autumn, towering, rugged mountains, gushing waterfalls, brooding mists, a wealth of historic castles and abbeys, endless shimmering beaches with turquoise sea. 

Whatever you want to portray about yourselves and your event, there will be a Scottish landscape with a backdrop perfectly suited to your voice.  Some more famous spots will be busier but can be quieter at certain times, while others remain virtually undiscovered.

We would simply love to hear your ideas and help find the ultimate location to suit you!

Number 1:   That the clients' heart soar as they are absolutely blown-away by their gorgeous images.

That is everything any successful Wedding, Proposal or Elopement shoot needs to be.

Being Harris Tweed Fashion photographers, in Scotland, is an all-time favourite for Euphoria Fashion Photography!

Loved by Vivienne Westwood, the beauty of Harris Tweed garments is their timeless elegance.  It is certainly the environmentally-friendly choice because your Harris Tweed coat, jacket or suit will last a lifetime, always looking classy - definitely a sound investment!  (Check out Vivienne Westwood's Time Collection from 1988/89.)

The Harris Tweed designers also offer custom-made pieces, keeping you uniquely elegant.  The design in this image was a custom creation from  Lou Lou Designs on the Isle of Skye.

If you would like to include Scottish designs in your proposal or wedding, we can create timelessly-elegant photography for you.  Please, do get in touch soon!

Bridal fashion designers put their creative heart and soul into their designs.  It is an honour to be involved in photographing such intricate artistry.  It is, though, imperative, when we are evolving unique, stylish images for clients, to showcase the craftsmanship and formation on the rear of the gown.

This gown will be worn for the most wonderful day in life.  It may be kept and worn by the next generation.  The wedding photographs will grow in value as each day passes until they are priceless.  Let's get the details right - right now!

Euphoria take inspiration from all kinds of beauty - nature, art and, at times, other photographers.  While we are inspired by these, we do not attempt to make direct copies of other artists' ideas - it simply does not work.  The elements and concept, which created the original inspiration, will not be present when you attempt to copy.

The accompanying image was inspired by the photography of Jerry Ghionis.  Jerry's training is the strongest influence in our work.  It was Jerry who brainstormed with us, prompting the discovery of our business name, "Euphoria."  Definitely, we are indebted to other creatives!  

Another "News" considers some specific, inspiring sources. 

Would you love original and uniquely-styled photography?  If this is your choice, you will definitely have unforgettable images!  Your wedding photographs will undoubtedly stand out!

Euphoria exists to create extraordinary photographic designs and we would simply be thrilled to work for you!  Please, share your dream with us!

Elopement photographers in Scotland enjoy the best of all worlds.  Why?

We are blessed with ideal conditions for our wedding photography work.  Scotland has awesome scenery in which to showcase couples.   We also have our own couturiers and designers who create gorgeous gowns and traditional tartan-wear.  Lastly, we have beautiful, romantic couples who come to our Isle of Skye to cement their relationship forever.

Why not add some Euphoria for the perfect wedding, elopement or proposal?
