Cuil Bay Wedding

Emma and Ewan met at university and have been adventuring together ever since. Ewan proposed at the top of the UK’s most northerly Munro, Ben Hope. So getting married at Cuil Bay, the beach they’ve shared so many happy times on was perfect for their relaxed highland wedding.

The bride wears a lace wedding dress with a long train, and the groom is dressed in a traditional Scottish kilt and jacket. The three-tiered cake is adorned with tartan ribbons and greenery, reflecting a natural and personal touch. The scene is set in a warmly lit marquee with wooden flooring and yellow flowers placed near the barrel

Cuil Bay Beach

A lovely beach with beautiful views across Loch Linnhe and Balnagowan Island. Sandy when the tide is out, perfect for a swim.

A HIGHLAND BEACH WEDDING WITH A TOUCH OF TRADITION, RAIN, SUNSHINE AND A WILD CEILIDH.

I grew up with Ewan and together we spent a lot of our childhood at Cuil Bay. It is a very special place. When Emma and Ewan announced they were getting married at Cuil Bay I was ridiculously excited for them.

Emma got ready at the lovely Cuil Bay Lodge with her bridesmaids and family while Ewan got ready at his family home. I spent the morning documenting them both, Emma was super laid back and Ewan was a little more nervous but they were both so excited, smiles all round.

A bride and groom walk along the rocky shoreline of Cuil Bay, surrounded by seaweed-covered rocks and calm waters, under the cover of a clear umbrella. In the background, a rustic barn, rolling fields, and a marquee tent are nestled at the base of a dramatic, forested hillside. The overcast sky enhances the rugged and natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands setting.

The ceremony was stunning with the bay and Balnagown island in the distance for a backdrop. They told me before the wedding one thing they were looking forward to was having their friends and family experience Cuil Bay and everyone got a real taste of why Cuil Bay is so close to their hearts. The weather was great but it wouldn’t be a highland wedding without some heavy showers which made for some dark dramatic skies. After the ceremony we took the Land Rover over to the back bay to a special spot for some gorgeous portraits followed by heartfelt speeches and a whole lot of dancing.
