A Dream Elopement at Duart Castle, Isle of Mull
Scotland is an iconic destination for elopements, with its rugged landscapes, historic castles, and unparalleled romance. When Victoria & Scott chose to elope at Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull, they created an intimate and unforgettable celebration that perfectly reflected their love story. As Scottish wedding videographers, we were honoured to capture every emotion, every breathtaking view, and every small, meaningful moment of their day.
Why Mull? A Magical Location for a Scottish Elopement
Nestled on the coast of Mull, Duart Castle stands as a historic fortress with stunning views of the Sound of Mull. For couples seeking a Scottish elopement location, this castle provides an incredible blend of history, adventure, and breathtaking scenery. Victoria & Scott chose this location because of its deep connection to Scottish heritage and its fairytale-like charm, making it an idyllic setting for their special day.
A Sun-Filled Celebration & A First for the Team
One of the most memorable aspects of this wedding was the gorgeous, sunny weather—a rare but welcomed gift on the west coast of Scotland! This elopement also marked our first time working with the talented photographers, The Sassanachs, and it was an absolute pleasure. Their documentary approach beautifully complemented our storytelling style, ensuring a seamless experience for Victoria & Scott.
