Drumtochty Castle and
St Palladius Church, Auchenblae
We're not allowed favourite wedding venues... but if we were, Drumtochty would be up there
Drumtochty Castle and St Palladius Church
If we asked our kids to draw a picture of a castle, most likely they’d model it on Drumtochty Castle. Drumtochty Castle rocks our photography world. From our very first wedding of Rach and Ian all those years ago we knew that this was a special, special place.
Drumtochty is designed for wedding celebrations that put friends and family at the heart of the party. It’s an exclusive use venue like few others. They’ve adopted the term home from home and take it to another level. The philosophy at Drumtochty is simple; it’s your home away from home. Weddings at Drumtochty Castle last a whole weekend – and that means loads of time to spend with your friends and family so it just turns into the best house party ever.
Wedding breakfasts are held in a wood panelled ballroom (complete with crystal chandeliers, Highland stags and Canadian byson) with the fairytale St Palladius Church literally at the end of the driveway, oodles of bedrooms you can invite your nearest and dearest to spend the night, cracking food (and a BYOB policy to boot!) and you’ll see why this venue ticks so many of our favourite boxes.
Another part of Drumtochty’s brilliance is the team who will be there throughout the celebrations to plan and guide as you create a wedding like none other.

Real life weddings at Drumtochty Castle by Blue Sky Photography
Take a peek at some of the weddings we’ve been invited to at Drumtochty Castle over the years…
Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle
Beverley and Mark’s Drumtochty Castle wedding was personal and perfect from beginning to end. They had all their favourite people involved (from Stepdad Ross and his brother Charlie conducting the service through to friends playing the organ). Oh and one of the best surprises had to be Mark’s family serenading this pair (we will always think of you when we hear the song Alleluia )
Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle
Their spring wedding was beautiful in spite of the rain (think one of the wettest days ever). Actually it was a little more beautiful because of the rain. As family and friends dashed for cover under mutlicloured brollies there were smile, giggles and lot of togetherness. And what could be better than cosying up in Drumtochty Castle as the wood burners crackle?
Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle
Thank you Lindsey and G for throwing yourself into every single part of your day and for being up for chasing the sun and clambering over hills and crumbling bridges. We’re delighted we were able to help you keep the Lithuanian tradition of the bride being carried over a bridge, alive. And with such style!
Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle
We were so delighted to be back at Drumtochty Castle for a real life wedding. And what better wedding to be photographing that this pair?
