Wedding photography and film at Cromlix Hotel

Cromlix Hotel is a hotel weddings venue set in 34 acres of Perthshire woodland in Scotland, privately owned by Andy Murray and home to a dedicated chapel and grounds that feel quietly extraordinary.

Andy Murray's privately owned country house hotel in 34 acres of Perthshire woodland near Dunblane, with a private chapel and grounds that feel quietly extraordinary — one of Scotland's most personal luxury venues.

We are genuinely drawn to what this place offers visually: ancient woodland, considered architecture and the kind of unhurried, personal atmosphere that makes for beautiful, layered storytelling on film and in photographs. It is one of Scotland's most distinctive luxury venues, and the combination of intimate chapel light and sweeping natural grounds gives couples a rare range of moments to work with across a whole day. We would love to bring our cameras here.

Cromlix Hotel through the seasons

Spring blooms

Perthshire woodland comes alive in spring, with fresh greenery and blossom creating a soft, natural backdrop around the grounds. Plan your ceremony timing around the longer April and May daylight hours to make the most of the chapel and estate for photography, film, and content creation.

Summer light

Scottish summer evenings offer long, golden light well into the night, which works beautifully across Cromlix's 34 acres of open grounds. Guests travelling from further afield will appreciate the easier road and rail connections to Dunblane during the warmer months, so coordinate arrival times early.

Autumn colour

The Perthshire woodland surrounding Cromlix turns rich amber and copper in autumn, giving every outdoor moment a warm, painterly quality ideal for photography, film, and content creation. Book accommodation for guests well in advance, as the area draws visitors during the autumn season and availability can be limited.

Winter warmth

A winter wedding at a private country house hotel like Cromlix feels genuinely intimate, with the chapel and candlelit interiors coming into their own on shorter days. Low winter light across the grounds can be beautiful on clear days, so build in flexibility around your schedule to catch the best natural conditions.
