An Intimate Wedding at Dunskey Estate in Portpatrick, Scotland | Scottish Castle Wedding venue

A Dunskey Estate Wedding in Scotland.

aN INTIMATE WEDDING DAY AT Dunskey Estate in Portpatrick, Scotland | SCOTTISH CASTLE WEDDING WEDDING VENUE

Laura and Blake flew all of the way to Dunskey Estate from america to say i do in this beautiful scottish castle. Dunskey Estate is located in the south west of Scotland, in a little remote village called Portpatrick. dunskey has 25 bedrooms for all of the wedding guests to stay on the property if you’re having an intimate wedding day, which laura and blake had for their wedding weekend.

The morning of the wedding day, everyone woke up at Dunskey estate together and were able to enjoy breakfast, a stroll and a relaxing morning before everyone started getting ready. Whenever I photograph wedding details, like the florals, heels or clutch, I try to find lovely light or textures to represent the venue, and of course, there were endless options all around the estate. From antique wallpaper, furniture and fabrics, it made for such a beautiful backdrop for all of the details. The castle also has a lot of lovely artwork and large windows for naturally lit portraits of the couple.

The estate property has lots of outdoor and indoor places for a wedding ceremony, from cliffs, to the gardens in front of the estate. Laura and Blake chose a beautiful intimate space within dunskey estate’s many room’s, called The drawing room, that had ornate pillars and a custom floral installation in front of a grand fireplace for their wedding ceremony. they had a harpist playing them in and out of the ceremony and the sweetest little flower boy dressed in a kid’s kilt. children in kilts are always the cutest, as it’s such a sweet tradition to have all of the guests chose to fully commit to the scottish wedding experience.

After the wedding ceremony, we roamed aroung the property. We drove to the front entrance gates of Dunskey, then strolled through back garden, went inside the back door by the ivy wall, and headed to the east wing upstairs loft, to take bridal portraits and couple portraits before they joined their guests on the front lawn of the castle for some croquet and champagne. while the couple enjoyed their guests and relaxed before everyone was seated, I went into the Great hall to capture all of the beautiful floral arrangements and decor on the long tables for their reception. all of the florals were done by the castle and they are truly so beautifully done.

after all of the wedding guests came into the castle from the cocktail hour on the front lawn, every was led into the stunning great hall for their formal intimate wedding dinner in the castle. The Great Hall has a stunning stone fireplace, historic wooden paneling, vaulted ceilings, with tons of artwork and antlers decorating the walls. The dinner was immaculate, and all of the courses were done by Dunskey Estate’s incredibly talented chef, david alexander. The entire team at dunskey estate are honestly all gems, and since they can do everything in house, they all know each other and know how to flow together to make everyone’s stay and experience the very best. I can’t say enough about how lovely their staff was. All in all, I would highly recommend anyone wanting to get married in a scottish castle by the sea, to get married at the beautiful Dunskey Estate in scotland.

“Dunskey Estate is truly a stunning scottish castle, located in the
scenic area of Portpatrick, Scotland. It is the perfect
scotland castle wedding venue to get married in.”
