Kirsty & Stuart at Sorn Castle
Kirsty and Stuart’s wedding at the magnificent Sorn Castle was nothing short of magical.
Set against a backdrop of glowing June sunshine, the day unfolded with warmth, joy, and personality. Their two beloved dogs played a special role in the bridal party, adding heartfelt charm and unforgettable moments throughout the celebrations.
And just when guests thought the day couldn’t get any better — Elvis Presley made a surprise appearance. The King had everyone singing, dancing, and laughing, creating memories that will be talked about for years to come.
It was a wedding filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable surprises — the kind of day Sorn Castle was made for.
Experience Matters in Luxury Wedding Photography
Luxury wedding photography is defined not only by style, but by experience, consistency, and the ability to perform flawlessly under pressure.
An experienced photographer understands how to move seamlessly between quiet, intimate moments and grand celebrations — all while remaining unobtrusive and composed.
When you choose Annie Mac Photography, you are working with a wedding photographer who:
- Adapts seamlessly to prestigious venues such as Sorn Castle, One Devonshire Gardens, Lochside House Hotel, Melville Castle, Edinburgh Castle, and Stirling Castle
- Arrives with a considered plan and timeline for every stage of the day — and the experience to adapt instantly as plans evolve
- Anticipates moments before they unfold, ensuring every memory is captured with elegance and intention
Our familiarity with luxury venues and historic locations allows us to work discreetly alongside planners and venue teams, preserving the atmosphere and flow of your wedding day.
Scotland’s Castles Demand Expertise
Scotland is home to some of the most extraordinary castle wedding venues in the world. Photographing them beautifully requires far more than technical skill — it demands foresight, adaptability, and real-world experience.
While styled shoots and content days have creative value, they do not reflect the pace, complexity, or responsibility of a real wedding day.
A wedding at Sorn Castle, Edinburgh Castle, or Stirling Castle unfolds across vast spaces, shifting light, historic interiors, and tightly managed schedules.
With 18 years of photographing real weddings across Scotland, we know how to:
- Create refined, editorial imagery within historic castles and luxury estates
- Work confidently in challenging lighting and large-scale architectural environments
- Deliver a cohesive, elevated gallery that honours both the grandeur of the venue and the intimacy of the celebration
Each castle tells its own story — our role is to document it with artistry, respect, and expertise.
The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your Dream Castle Wedding in Scotland
Scotland’s historic castles offer the perfect setting for a truly unforgettable wedding. If you’re dreaming of a fairytale celebration surrounded by history, landscape, and luxury, here’s how to begin.
1. Choose the Perfect Castle
Scotland offers an incredible variety of castle venues, from grand estates to intimate historic homes. Consider location, guest capacity, and exclusivity.
Sorn Castle is a standout choice, offering exclusive use, stunning gardens, and timeless elegance.
2. Consider the Season
Scotland’s seasons each bring their own beauty.
- Summer offers long daylight hours and softer light
- Autumn and winter provide dramatic skies, candlelit interiors, and fewer crowds
3. Secure Legal Requirements
If travelling from abroad, ensure you meet Scotland’s marriage requirements. Marriage notices must be submitted at least 29 days before the wedding, and officiants should be booked early.
4. Plan the Guest Experience
Many castles offer on-site accommodation or nearby lodging. Consider transport for remote venues and provide guests with a clear itinerary to ensure a seamless experience.
5. Choose Experienced Vendors
Castle weddings require suppliers who understand the environment. This includes:
- Caterers familiar with large-scale historic venues
- Photographers experienced in castle weddings
- Florists who enhance, not overpower, the setting
- Entertainment such as live bands, pipers, or a traditional ceilidh
