Gemma & Robin’s Intimate Scottish Elopement at Douneside House with Tequila for Breakfast

Gemma and Robin envisioned an intimate Scottish elopement at Douneside House, and their day was nothing short of magical! With just the two of them, they wanted a celebration that reflected their love and personality, and it truly was a day to remember. From tequila for breakfast to emotional vows, their Douneside House wedding was a perfect blend of elegance and personal touches.

Morning Magic at Douneside House Elopement 🌅✨

The morning of their Douneside House elopement was as serene as it was special. Gemma and Robin chose to get ready together, which made the experience even more intimate. I arrived just as Gemma was having her makeup applied, while Robin was adding the final touches to his outfit. Watching Robin’s reaction as Gemma emerged in her stunning bridal jumpsuit was a highlight—I could see how much these moments meant to them.

Walking hand in hand down the aisle, with only a few witnesses and the chirping birds as their backdrop, Gemma and Robin’s ceremony was filled with raw emotion. Robin had prepared a touching reading for Gemma, and the need for emergency tissues was a testament to how heartfelt their vows were. Gemma’s surprise reading for Robin brought the cutest smile to his face, and their love was palpable throughout.

A Day of Secrecy and Sweetness 🕵️‍♂️💕

In true elopement fashion, Gemma and Robin decided to keep their wedding a secret. They attempted to Facetime their family to share the news, but alas, no one answered! So, they enjoyed a quiet stroll around the grounds of Douneside House before cozying up on the sofa with a drink in hand. Their secret remained safe for now, but their happiness was undeniable.

Three Hours of Pure Bliss ⏳💖

Our time together was brief but meaningful. In just three hours, I captured the essence of Gemma and Robin’s love and their beautiful Douneside House Elopement. They knew exactly what they wanted: to cherish their time together and create beautiful memories in the process. Their decision to elope allowed them to focus on what truly mattered, and they are thrilled to have these moments to share with their friends and family.

Personal Touches and Special Details 💍📚

Although their dog couldn’t attend the ceremony, Gemma and Robin brought along a collar made to match Robin’s kilt, a sweet nod to their beloved fur baby. They also included personal items like their favorite hiking books, drinks, and shot glasses, making the outdoor ceremony at Douneside House even more special.
