Wedding photography and film at Fingask Castle

Fingask Castle is a castle weddings venue in the Carse of Gowrie, Scotland, set within eccentric topiary gardens with sweeping views across the River Tay.

A historic castle in the Carse of Gowrie with eccentric topiary gardens and sweeping Tay views — one of the most characterful exclusive-use venues in eastern Scotland, intimate and entirely without pretension.

We are genuinely drawn to what this place offers: that rare combination of deep historic character and an unpretentious, intimate atmosphere that lets a wedding feel completely its own. The light across those Tay views, the sculptural drama of the topiary, the warmth of an exclusive-use castle that doesn't take itself too seriously. It is exactly the kind of setting we would love to bring our cameras to.

Frequently asked questions about Fingask Castle

What is it actually like to get married at Fingask Castle?

Fingask Castle has a wonderfully lived-in, characterful quality that sets it apart from grander, more formal venues. The eccentric topiary gardens, the sweeping views across the Tay and the exclusive-use arrangement mean your wedding feels genuinely private and personal rather than like a hired function room. It is the kind of place that feels full of stories, and couples who love a sense of history without stuffiness tend to fall for it completely.

How does the exclusive-use arrangement work at Fingask Castle?

As an exclusive-use venue, Fingask Castle is yours and yours alone on your wedding day, which means no other guests, events or strangers sharing the space. This gives couples and their families real freedom to move through the castle and gardens at their own pace throughout the day. It also makes logistics much simpler for your suppliers, including your photography and videography team.

Is Fingask Castle a good venue for wedding photography and videography?

Castle venues in the Carse of Gowrie offer a remarkable range of visual settings, and Fingask is particularly special because of its topiary gardens, its interior character and those open views across the Tay valley. The combination of indoor and outdoor backdrops, the natural light through the castle windows and the texture of the historic architecture all give photographers and videographers a great deal to work with across the whole day.

Can we book Big Day Productions to photograph and film our wedding at Fingask Castle?

Absolutely, and we would love to be part of a wedding at Fingask Castle. We work with couples across Scotland and would be very happy to discuss your plans, talk through what we offer and give you a clear sense of how we approach a day like this. Just get in touch and we can take it from there.

Where do wedding guests tend to stay when attending a wedding at Fingask Castle?

The Carse of Gowrie sits in a well-connected part of eastern Scotland, with a range of accommodation options available in the surrounding towns and villages, as well as further afield for guests who prefer a larger town or city base. It is worth asking the castle team for their own recommendations, as they will have a good sense of where guests have stayed previously and what works best for different group sizes.

Does Fingask Castle suit smaller, more intimate weddings?

Fingask Castle has a genuinely intimate atmosphere that makes it especially well suited to couples who want something personal and unhurried rather than a large-scale event. The exclusive-use format means even a smaller guest list feels entirely at home rather than lost in a vast space. For photography and film, intimate weddings at venues like this often produce some of the most heartfelt and natural coverage of the day.
