An Elopement at the Machrie Hotel, Islay

Fiona and Chris’ stunning elopement to Islay

The Islay light never fails to disappoint, and it arrived for Fiona and Chris’s March wedding, along with a fairly strong breeze! But these conditions are sent to inspire, and not to try us, and send us the most beautiful ceremony we could have imagined.

Gemma from Argyll and Bute Registrars conducted a stunning ceremony against the beach backdrop - and after a little respite inside the MAchrie, we headed out to the Oa, for a wild clifftop walk, and a descent into a much calmer bay at Port An Eas.

A breeze, some whisky, a whole lot of emotion and they had the most stunning of days - congratulations you too! Here a little selection of the favourites from the day!

Venue: The Machrie Hotel and Golf Links
