A daring young couple who wanted their weddings photos to be different chose to be snapped on their big day at the top of a boggy, gale-lashed mountain in Scotland.

The results of their bold choice of venue are a series of stunning images that capture both the raw beauty of the wilderness setting and their love for each other.

Newly-weds James Mortier, 33, and Lisa flew from their home in Chicago to the Isle of Skye for the amazing photo shoot after considering locations around the globe.

The photographs capture the bride trapsing through muddy bogs in her stunning white wedding dress and with her with her bridal hair whipped up by gale force winds.

James, 33, and Lisa Mortier, 31 flew from their home in the USA to the picturesque island for the unique shoot following their Scottish wedding ceremony on September 25.

The couple, who have been together for four years, got in touch with Andrew Rae - a Scottish photographer - on Instagram after viewing his incredible gallery of past images.

However, the pair were hit with strong winds and a barrage of mud as they posed for the set.

Lisa said: “We anticipated cooler, misty, weather similar to that of the Pacific Northwest in the states.

“Boy, were we in for a surprise. The wind was unreal.

“The weather in Chicago fluctuates pretty regularly in spring and fall. We could have a week of 70F and have snow the next.

“We have a fair amount of wind that comes off of Lake Michigan, but nothing like the wind in Skye. I’m sure it was 65F and sunny back home on our wedding day.”

Lisa said the couple took a while to decide on their perfect destination to elope but after spotting pictures of the Isle, their mind was made up.

Lisa added: “We wanted a unique wedding experience that was reflective of us.

“We both love the outdoors and are always up for an adventure.

“We were interested in a remote area overseas, the idea just seemed more romantic.
