Blairquhan Castle Portico Wedding Portrait — Ayrshire

Framed by Stone and Light — Portico Portrait at Blairquhan

The bride and groom standing facing each other in Blairquhan Castle's magnificent portico entrance — framed by gothic stone columns, the grand arched doorway behind them glowing with chandelier light. It is architectural and intimate at the same time — a portrait that could only have been taken at this venue, at this moment, in this light.

Blairquhan Castle's portico is one of its most dramatic architectural features — a grand stone entrance with soaring columns and gothic arched windows that frame the main doorway like something from a period drama. This is the same castle that stood in for Balmoral in the Oscar-winning film The Queen. Its architecture is extraordinary.

Finding the shot within the architecture — seeing the frame before the couple steps into it — is one of the skills that separates good wedding photography from great wedding photography. Seven years, seven front covers, internationally recognised.
