If you’re planning a destination wedding, Scotland needs to be at the top of your destination list! Between the moody landscapes, storybook castles, and warm hospitality, this place knows how to show up for romance. But here’s the one thing couples often overlook: bringing a photographer you already know and trust.

I recently photographed a Killochan Castle wedding and the experience reminded me just how important it is to have someone in your corner who already gets you.

Bringing Your Own Photographer to a Scotland Castle Wedding

When you’re planning a destination wedding, one of the smartest moves you can make is bringing your photographer with you. Here’s why:

You’re already comfortable together
The connection between you and your photographer matters. When you’ve already worked together for your engagement session or a courthouse signing, you’re not starting from scratch. I know your vibe, you trust me, and that chemistry translates into better, more personal photos.

No communication or cultural barriers
European vendors often have a totally different workflow. It’s common to have slower replies and experience time zone frustrations leading up to the day from foreign vendors and it can add some stress. Having a photographer who gets your communication style and urgency? Major relief.

You’re covered for everything
When I travel for weddings, I include rehearsal dinner coverage in my destination packages. It’s not just about the wedding day, it’s about telling the full story.

Is it More Expensive to Bring a Photographer?

Not always! A lot of photographers (like me) offer destination-friendly pricing for places we’re excited to visit. So if you’re worried about costs, simply ask. You might be surprised what’s possible.

I love traveling for weddings and building packages that fit your vision is a big part of what I do. If you’re planning a Scotland wedding or anywhere else abroad, don’t count out bringing someone you already trust to capture it all.

Let’s Make Scotland Happen!

Your wedding should feel like the best version of your story. A castle wedding in Scotland offers the kind of backdrop that elevates every moment. And bringing your own photographer means you get to experience it all fully, with someone who’s already in your corner.
