The Goosebump List: the best Scottish wedding venues imaginable


A few of Blue Sky Photography’s favourite Scottish wedding venues


We have lots of favourite Scottish wedding venues. Fifteen plus years of shooting weddings have seen us invited us to some seriously amazing weddings. We’ve shot in rustic barns, Highland Castles, glittering five star hotels, exclusive use venues and private estates across Scotland.

We’ve selected some of the many, many places we’ve shot at over these years and have created the Blue Sky Photography goosebump list. Think of them a bit like some of our all time favourite wedding venues.

Not to blow our own trumpet too loudly, but all of these venues also rate us as preferred photographers – this means that they know us and trust us enough to recommend us directly to their brides and grooms.  We think that’s kind of a big deal.

You pick the place, drop us a line and we’ll be by your side.

Real Life Wedding: Mansfield Traquair

Cassie and Tom’s Christmas wedding at Mansfield Traquair was a festive celebration of love, laughter and one or two surprises 😉 We knew this was going to be the most epic of weddings, but still we were both blown away by the energy of these two. This is a couple who live and love 100mph and everyone around them adores them.

Barnbougle Castle in autumn literally glows from the inside out. So it was the perfect location for Babette and Lawrie’s wonderful thanksgiving inspired wedding.  This pair met 59 months ago, yet fit together so well you can’t imagine them not being a couple.
