Hello, I’m Debbie Thornton a Highland wedding and elopement photographer, based in the beauty of the Scottish Highlands and inspired by nature. Since 2009, I’ve been honoured to quietly witness and capture the authentic love stories of laid-back couples who cherish simplicity, connection, and the peacefulness.
A West Coast native and sensitive soul, I see the beauty in my surroundings. My approach is gentle and unobtrusive, allowing your day to unfold naturally while I document the genuine, unscripted moments that make your day uniquely yours. My style is deeply influenced by the landscapes I love, from the mountains and lochs to windy beaches and ancient woodlands, reflecting the raw beauty of nature and human connection.
I love the simple joys in life: time spent with my husband and son, quiet walks, the scent of roses, the sound of the sea, a good book, and practicing yoga. These loves shape how I see the world and how I capture your day with honesty, warmth, and respect for the intimacy of your moments.
I work as a wedding and elopement photographer covering beautiful areas such as Torridon, Gairloch, Shieldaig, Loch Maree, Beinn Eighe, Ullapool, Assynt, Lochinver, Achmelvich and beyond. Whether you’re planning a small, heartfelt wedding or an intimate elopement, whether on a hilltop, by a loch, or in a cosy venue, I’m here to provide natural, relaxed photography that feels as peaceful and genuine. My approach is to create images that hold the quiet strength and beauty of your relationship, preserving these memories forever.
Based in Wester Ross and available throughout the Scottish Highlands, I’m honoured to have supported couples with their special days and this is reflected in the heartfelt reviews I’ve received.
If you’re seeking a photographer who understands the landscape and the gentle flow of your day, I would love to hear from you.
