" Our photos are incredible! We are absolutely over the moon how they have turned out. Everyone we have shown have been in awe and full of tears. We can’t thank you enough for sharing your talent with us, making things so easy and stress free (how we like it!) You are a legend! "

What Is an Elopement in Scotland?

So Much More Than “Just” a Wedding for Two.

Eloping is about freedom - the freedom to craft a wedding day that’s unapologetically you.
It’s not about skipping the celebration. It’s about stripping away the noise and focusing on what truly matters. It’s an intentional, intimate way to say I do - one that values experience over tradition, presence over performance, and raw emotion over perfection.

Elopement isn't about escaping tradition—it's about returning to what matters most. An intimate, intentional way to say I do in a place that speaks to your soul.

Picture this: exchanging vows where the mountains kiss the sky in the Scottish Highlands, barefoot on white sand beaches along the rugged West Coast, beneath ancient pines in the Cairngorms, or on the windswept cliffs of the Isle of Skye. Scotland’s wild beauty sets the stage for love stories that are raw, real, and unforgettable.

Hiya, I'm Laszlo - aka Weirdie Grizzly

Scotland elopement photographer and planner telling raw and romantic love stories through 35mm, 120 film and digital. With a cinematic eye and a soulful heart, I capture honest, unfiltered moments for wild-hearted couples who want their day to feel real and timeless.
Quiet by nature, I'm a laid-back, introverted guy who thrives in the background, letting your connection take center stage. Whether it's misty Highland vows or windswept coastal elopements, I’m here to guide, plan, and document your day with intention and heart.


My mission is simple
– to create a beautiful, stress-free, and deeply personal elopement experience that’s all about you.

I’m not here for trophies, awards, or likes on social media. What truly drives me is capturing your love story in a way that feels real, honest, and completely you – whether on 35mm film or digital. This isn’t about staged moments or industry trends; it’s about helping you have the elopement day you’ve always dreamed of, without pressure or pretense.

What inspires me? Real, down-to-earth couples from all walks of life — no matter your age, background, identity, religion, or how awkward you feel in front of the camera.
I especially love working with camera-shy souls (because trust me, I’m one too). My job is to help you feel relaxed, seen, and fully celebrated — exactly as you are.


My main goal is to make you feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated. I work with nature-loving, wildly-in-love couples who crave something more meaningful than a traditional wedding. The ones who choose misty mountains over ballrooms, ancient forests over fancy venues, and heartfelt vows over formal scripts. Whether you're whispering your promises on a quiet beach, deep in the Cairngorms, or standing on the windswept cliffs of the Isle of Skye — I’ll be there to capture every raw, unfiltered moment. If you’re drawn to 35mm film grain, golden light, and the untamed beauty of Scotland, this is your love story — told your way.

As a Scotland Elopement Film Photographer and Planner, I capture every love story using vintage 35mm and medium format film cameras—because for me, film isn’t just a nostalgic medium, it’s a mindset. It’s how I see the world, and how I tell stories with honesty, depth, and intention.

My toolkit includes legendary classics like the 35mm Leica rangefinders, Canon’s flagship EOS 1v, the iconic Hasselblad 500CM, and the real workhorse Pentax 6x7—plus a few rare treasures I’ve collected over the years (including an underwater film camera for those wild, off-the-beaten-path adventures).

Film brings something digital never can: a raw, timeless quality that’s full of soul. It slows everything down in the best way—letting your day unfold naturally while I quietly document every real, unfiltered moment. The result? Tangible, emotion-filled imagery that perfectly mirrors the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands, lochs, cliffs, and coastline.

If you're dreaming of a Scotland elopement that’s more about meaningful connection than posed perfection—and want it captured in a way that feels artistic, real, and completely unforgettable—then you're in exactly the right place.

Crafting Wildly Romantic Elopements in the Heart of Scotland

Where your love story meets misty mountains, ancient landscapes, and timeless memories.

So What Makes Weirdie Grizzly Special?

Love of Film Photography

Photography has always been more than a profession - it's a way of seeing the world with wonder.
I’m especially drawn to film photography, with its soft imperfections and nostalgic charm. There’s something magical about loading an old camera, listening to the quiet click of the shutter, and knowing that what you’ve captured lives in a moment that can’t be repeated.

Whether I’m documenting everyday life - the quiet beauty in the ordinary - or capturing love stories in the wild, film allows me to slow down and truly feel the heartbeat of a scene. It’s honest, timeless, and deeply personal.

If you’re curious about the little stories I capture when I’m not photographing elopements, you can follow my personal film work over on Instagram - a quiet space where I share the raw, real moments that make up my world.

It’s easy to work with

As someone who's naturally introverted, I understand the quiet kind of love - the kind that doesn't need a spotlight to feel extraordinary.

That's why I work effortlessly with camera-shy couples. There's no pressure to perform or pose - just space to be yourselves, to breathe, to connect, and to let your love unfold naturally in the wild beauty of Scotland.

Before I captured elopements, I spent years as a private tour guide, weaving through the Highlands, hidden glens, and secret coastlines. I know this land intimately - not just the scenic spots but also the rhythm of the weather, the quiet corners, and the local legends.

This experience has shaped me into more than a photographer - I'm your guide, calm in the chaos, and behind-the-scenes planner who handles every detail so you can be fully present in each sacred moment.

Together, we'll create an experience that's seamless, soulful, and deeply you. Read about couples' experiences I have worked with before.

Exclusive Elopement Services

To the best of my knowledge, I'm the only photographer in Scotland offering full elopement photography entirely on film. I capture love stories through the timeless lens of analogue, with all the richness, depth, and emotion that only film can truly hold.

There's something sacred about the way film slows us down, invites presence, and preserves moments with a softness that feels like memory itself. It's imperfect, honest, and achingly beautiful - just like real love.

Alongside my film work, I also offer hybrid coverage with digital photography and thoughtfully crafted, all-inclusive elopement packages. From planning your day down to the last detail to guiding you through the wilds of Scotland to capturing every fleeting glance and quiet laugh, I'm here to make sure your elopement is not only seamless but deeply meaningful.

This is where it begins for couples who long for something more than just photos - for those who want to feel their story in every frame.

The laughter, the tears, the whispered promises

all captured in the language of 35mm film.

Let Your Love Be Captured in Timeless Magic - on 35mm & Medium Format Film

Choose the soft nostalgia of analogue photography for your Scotland elopement, where every frame is kissed by light, layered with feeling, and preserved on real film - tangible, timeless, and utterly romantic.

“ My husband and I eloped in Skye in early June 2024. Laszlo is an AMAZING photographer and you can see that from his pictures, but what you can't see is that he is fun to work with and knows the area SO well. We are from the US, so it was so great having someone so organized and knowledgeable. My husband and I also never had professional photos before this and we are generally uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Laszlo was great at directing and making us feel comfortable. I can't say enough positive things about Laszlo. If you are thinking about eloping in Skye, he is a great choice.

Our day couldn't have been better! Thank you so much Laszlo!!! “

Kind Words

In a world where everything moves fast and is instantly forgotten, film slows time.
Only a handful of elopement photographers around the world still work with medium format film.
I’m one of the few doing so here in Scotland. It’s not just a choice - it’s a love story in itself.

Film is soft. Romantic. Honest. It brings a nostalgic glow and delicate richness that digital simply can’t replicate.

Specializing in analogue photography, I use vintage film cameras to capture elopements with depth, soul, and a touch of magic. While the world rushes toward the next best thing, I choose to honour your love the old-fashioned way - through tangible, timeless imagery that feels like it could’ve been pulled from a dream or a dusty shoebox of memories.

If your heart longs for something truly unique for photos that don’t just document your day, but feel like your love - you’re in the right place.
