Top Loch Lomond wedding venues scotland
Scotland has some of the most romantic and beautiful wedding venues in the UK, some of my favorites are situated around the famous Loch Lomond.
You can’t beat the atmosphere at the end of the wedding night dancing to the famous run rig song whilst having the Loch view as your back drop.
“You'll take the high road and I'll take the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore you.
Where me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.”
Here are some of the best wedding venues in Loch Lomond, Scotland, each offering unique features and breathtaking views:
Boturich Castle
Known for its historic charm and modern amenities, Boturich Castle features a stunning glass pavilion that can accommodate up to 200 guests. The castle grounds offer a scenic backdrop of Loch Lomond, making it a fantastic location for both the ceremony and reception. It sits right ontop of a hill with brilliant views over Loch Lomond and the famous Ben Lomond. This spot is where most of the outdoor cermony’s take place making it one of Scotland’s best wedding venues. Iv had the pleasure of photographing many weddings at Boturich, from when it had a large marquee and now with its stunning award winning glass pavilion. It just gets better and better each year. Loving the new additions this year with the gates and lavender path.

What if it rains on my wedding day at Boturich Castle?
Not to worry, Boturich can have ceremonies inside and outside, if it rains they will move all the seats indoors and the view is still the main feature as the Pavilion is glass sided all the way around so you can still say your vows infront of that famous view.
The Cruin
On the opposite side of the loch is the The Cruin wedding venue. The Cruin is up there as one of the top loch lomond wedding venues as it is situated right on the loch side. With its own private pier and beautiful loch side terrace for outdoor ceremonies offering stunning views of Ben Lomond and Inchmurrin Island. This venue provides a picturesque and intimate setting for weddings, combining rustic charm with modern amenities. I am so fond of this venue, I modeled here for wedding magazines as teenager, have shot many wedding here and even had my 40th birthday celebrations at The Cruin.

Ross Priory
One of my favourite spots to take photos at Ross Priory is their walled garden. From first looks to couple portraits, I could spend hours photographing couples in there. Ross Priory is a stunning wedding venue located on the banks of Loch Lomond, offering breathtaking views of Ben Lomond and the surrounding hills. This historic Gothic building, dating back to 1693, is owned by the University of Strathclyde and is renowned for its beautiful gardens and unique setting.
I have photographed many weddings at Ross priory and its is stunning in all seasons, from warm autumn colors to summer golden light.

FAQS
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
Since I take on a limited number of weddings per year, no more than 25, I encourage couples to book as early as possible to secure their date. Most couples book 12–18 months ahead, but if your wedding is sooner, still get in touch, I sometimes have space for last-minute dates.Yes, I photograph weddings across Scotland (and beyond). Travel fees apply for longer distances, but I’ll always be clear about these upfront.
DO YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE GLASGOW?
Yes, I photograph weddings across Scotland (and beyond). Travel fees apply for longer distances, but I’ll always be clear about these upfront. I am frequently up in the highlands for weddings and also travel down to the lake district aswell.
DO YOU SHOOT ELOPEMENTS AS WELL AS FULL WEDDINGS?
Absolutely. Elopements are some of my favourites, full of emotion, freedom and atmosphere. Plus I do love getting outdoors in amongst the stunning scenery and dodging the midges.
HOW MANY IMAGES WILL WE RECEIVE?
For a full day, expect around 600–800 carefully edited images, all in my signature romantic style, in both colour and black and white.
WHAT IS YOUR EDITING STYLE?
Happy, romantic, fun and light just as your day should be.
I don’t follow photography trends as I love to create photographs that are timeless, classic and romantic. So that in 10 years time you will still look back and love them without them looking dated.
I find the couples who book me have similar traits to me. Chilled with a good sense of humor. Who adore their families and want this love captured.
WHAT IF IT RAINS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?
Scotland’s weather can be unpredictable, but it always adds character. I’ll guide you to make the most of the light and conditions, rain often brings the most atmospheric images! We can have fun and go full on notebook vibes! You cant control the weather but you can control how you behave towards it on your day, instead of being sad that you didn’t get full on sunshine, embrace the fact all your guests will stay inside together and party hard!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
You’ll get a small preview within 48 hours, and your full gallery within 6–8 weeks.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR FULL-DAY COVERAGE?
From morning prep to at least three dances into the evening (or until the dance floor gets really wild!), I am basically yours for the day.
WHAT IF WE WANT VIDEO OR EXTRA COVERAGE?
There’s a package (Blue Moon Rose) that includes a highlight film. Also, you can add a second shooter, or extra hours, or special print or album options.
CAN WE ORDER ALBUMS OR PRINTS?
Yes, and I encourage it. There’s nothing like seeing your story beautifully printed, something to pass down and relive for years. I hate the photos hidden on hard drives so include 15 complimentary prints in my full day packages.
CAN WE BOOK AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT TO BE INCLUDED IN OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE?
Absolutely, this is a great idea as it means you get to have a practice before the big day and instead of spending months worrying about having your photos taken, you will see how easy and relaxed the whole process is, plus it means we won’t feel like strangers by the time the wedding comes.
I specialize in natural, candid photography so nothing is too posed. Just get not touch and we can chat about what package would suit you best.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO HIRE A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN GLASGOW WHO ALSO DOES VIDEOGRAPHY?
Yes, I shoot hybrid so that means I not only capture your photos but also capture snippets of video too and edit this into a highlight reel. This package is ideal for couples who hate being center stage as its only me and you won’t notice me taking video aswell.
