SCOTLAND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Your souls intertwined, made into Art
Your elopement captured cinematically, so looking back feels like watching an epic movie with you and your love as the main characters.
The big wedding never felt like you. Instinctively, you always knew you wanted to do things differently. As your Scotland elopement photographer, I am here to help you see that you can – and what’s more, it won’t make your wedding any less special. In fact, eloping can be the most special way to celebrate your marriage – whether it’s just the two of you or with a small group of people who will hold up and support you through all of life’s plot twists.
One scene at a time
My photography style is inspired by cinema and Fine Art. Through my lens I seek to romanticise every little aspect of your day and help you see the magic in the mundane. I love to play with light & shadow, to focus on the little details and to create epic imagery that make you feel like the heroes and heroines of your favourite movies.
IEVA
MARIJA
SCOTLAND ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi! I’m Ieva, an elopement and intimate wedding photographer based out of Edinburgh but traveling to capture love Scotland-wide.
Originally from Lithuania, I moved to Scotland back in 2012 in order to study and fell in love with the beauty of the nature & the cities here. I am hugely inspired by cinema and Fine Art to create imagery that not only captures the beauty of Scotland, but reveals the beauty and uniqueness of each of my client’s stories in truthful, yet artistic imagery. I love creating images that feel like a Hozier or a Lana del Rey song – full of emotion & deep romance. I would be honoured to get to know you and to tell your story.
An award-winning elopement photographer who honours your story and the beauty of Scotland’s landscapes
I know that choosing the right person to document your elopement day is so, so important. These will be the heirloom photos you will be able to show your friends, family and any future children for decades to come. My work has been recognised and featured by huge national and international wedding photography publications, such as Rangefinder, Love My Dress and We Fell In Love among others. In 2025, I have also won three Elopement Legend Awards, a prestigious international competition exclusively for elopement photographers which awards the skill in capturing candid, unposed moments. I have also been awarded as a finalist in both LIT and Emerging Artist categories in the International Wedding Photographer of the Year awards in 2025.
However, more than awards and international recognition, I value the feedback I receive from the couples who trusted me to capture their wedding day. With 70+ 5-star reviews on Google, I am someone who truly wants to honour your story and personalities, rather than imposing my own upon the day. Whether you laugh with your whole heart and wear your heart on your sleeve or are more introverted and want your day to feel calm and intimate, I will honour and document your day just as it is in my cinematic storytelling style.

ALICE & ANDREW
We could not recommend Ieva more highly; she made our Scotland elopement dreams come true! Her soft, candid photography style fit our artistic vision for our wedding shoot perfectly. She went above and beyond for us on our special day and it could not have been more perfect. We had no experience in front of the camera, but she still managed to get such incredible poses with some gentle guidance and just letting us be ourselves!
ALLIE & JON
“She pulled off what I thought was impossible and created the most moody, dramatic, stunning gallery for us. Seriously, some of her shots made me feel like I was in a movie. From wide sweeping landscapes, to capturing the intimate laughs and smiles we shared as we read our vows in the pouring rain. Ieva is truly amazing. Do yourself a favor and book with her if you can. You will not regret it. . . I promise!
CHRISTINA & CASEY
“We finally had time to sit down together and go through all our photos. I’m honestly so absolutely blown away by your photography. They’re magazine quality and feel enchanting. To be perfectly honest I usually hate photos of myself so it was an incredible feeling to love photos of myself for once. If I had to go back in time I’d still choose you. You’re incredible at what you do.”
