Ashley and Stuart’s Isle of Skye destination wedding featured a gorgeous blend of natural elements and the personal charm of meaningful details. Wanting to choose a unique location for their ceremony, the couple chose the breathtaking Eilean Donan Castle, as Stuart grew up in Scotland and visited the castle often.
