Eilean Donan Castle Wedding Photography

A magical wedding for Abby + Blake at Eilean Donan Castle in the Scottish Highlands.

Iconic Wedding Location

Eliean Donan Castle is one of the most memorable images of Scotland, situated where three sea lochs meet, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery creating the most stunning backdrop for your wedding day.
The romantic yet historic charm of the castle offers a perfect blend of ancient architecture and historical decor, providing a dramatic backdrop for wedding photos. As a location it is gloriously unique, but as a wedding venue it’s quite simply spectacular.
It’s easy to see now why American couple Abby & Blake planned their wedding day from afar so that they could have their dream Scottish Wedding. You can almost hear the sound of bagpipes when you look at the photographs of this picturesque wedding venue!

 

Wedding Ceremonies at Eilean Donan Castle

Wedding parties do receive exclusive access to the interior areas of the castle and inner courtyard from 6pm on the day of the wedding, which means most couples choose to have their wedding ceremonies a little later in the evening at 6:30pm. This allows time for your wedding guests to be seated before the bride and groom walk down the aisle. The historic ambience of the castle with its ancient paintings and unique atmosphere create a unique and memorable wedding ceremony.

Drinks Reception in the Courtyard

Following the ceremony, wedding guests would usually enter the atmospheric Billeting Room for a champagne drinks reception. However if the weather gods are on our side and the sun is shining, it’s absolutely amazing to lead the guests out into the private courtyard. This way everyone gets to enjoy the stunning views across the loch. The perfect location to watch the sunset over the horizon.

Wedding Reception in the marquee

Abby and Blake chose for all their family and friends to join them in celebrating their wedding day over at the Eilean Donan Appartments in the marquee. Still within the grounds of the castle, the apartments and marquee just a short walk away, command the most wonderful views over to the castle. The perfect way to continue your wedding reception and start the evening’s party. This setup provides a flexible and customisable space that can accommodate larger guest lists than the castle’s indoor facilities.
