Fran & Luke
Fran and Luke’s wedding at Carlowrie Castle was wrapped in rich autumn colour and soft Scottish light – a setting that perfectly echoed the warmth of their day.
Early November brought glowing copper leaves along the castle’s tree-lined avenue, creating a striking backdrop for the British racing green E-Type, lovingly rebuilt by Fran’s dad. A beautiful family detail woven naturally into the story of the day.
Inside, the celebration unfolded with relaxed elegance – calm morning preparations, candlelit speeches filled with laughter, and a dance floor that stayed lively long into the night. Effortless, and unmistakably personal, set within one of Scotland’s most characterful venues.
Here’s their story…
The Carlowrie Castle Experience
Carlowrie Castle is one of those venues that quietly carries its own atmosphere! Just outside Edinburgh, it feels grand without ever being formal, offering space to breathe, explore, and celebrate without constraint. The driveway, the gardens, the stone staircases and light-filled rooms all invite movement – perfect for couples who want their day to unfold naturally rather than be directed.
From morning preparations in the castle’s elegant bedrooms, to ceremonies framed by historic architecture, to evening celebrations beneath candlelight, Carlowrie offers a seamless flow from one chapter of the day to the next. With its mix of grand rooms, open grounds and elegant interiors, Carlowrie offers endless options for relaxed, natural coverage.
For photographers, it’s a dream. For couples, it’s an experience that feels both timeless and entirely their own.
