Why Boclair House Hotel Is One of My All-Time Favourite Wedding Venues
Timeless architecture that photographs beautifully
One of the things that makes Boclair stand out is its iconic 1920s-inspired exterior. Those grand stone steps, the sweeping facade and the characterful arches create a cinematic backdrop before you’ve even stepped inside. Whether we’re capturing a confetti moment, group portraits, or something a bit more glamorous and editorial, the building gives photos that effortlessly luxurious feel. In winter and autumn the grounds are lit up with fairy lights everywhere highlighting the stunning architecture and huge tree at the entrance.
Inside, the warm, romantic interiors are a dream to work with. Every room feels elegant without being overwhelming, soft lighting, clean lines, and thoughtful design that complements, rather than competes with, the emotions of the day. It’s the perfect blend of classic and contemporary, which means your photos age beautifully.
As a wedding photographer based just outside Glasgow, I’ve been lucky enough to photograph countless weddings at Boclair House Hotel in Milngavie and every single time I walk through those doors, it feels a bit like coming home. Boclair has become one of those rare venues that I know like the back of my hand: the light, the angles, the flow of the day, and all the little hidden corners that make for magical photographs. When couples book Boclair House, I always do a little internal happy dance, because I already know how much fun its going to be.
Whether it’s a glowing summer evening, a crisp autumn afternoon or a cosy winter celebration, Boclair House photographs beautifully all year round. The gardens burst with colour in the warmer months, while the atmospheric indoor spaces are ideal for winter weddings, rich, warm and romantic, with plenty of opportunities for creative lighting.
Every season brings something different, and having shot so many weddings there, I’ve learned how to make the very most of its personality whatever the weather decides to do.
Why I love photographing weddings at Boclair House
At its heart, Boclair is more than a pretty building. It’s warm, welcoming, and beautifully run. Staff are always phenomenal to work with, the atmosphere is incredible, and couples genuinely get the fairytale-meets-modern-luxury experience they dream of. As a photographer, it’s a canvas that allows me to create truly meaningful, elegant and joy-filled images, every single time.
If you’re considering Boclair House Hotel for your wedding, I can honestly say it’s one of the best choices you could make. And if you’d love photographs with heart, soul and a touch of magic, I’d be thrilled to capture your story there.
