Wedding photography and film at Hopetoun House

Scotland

Big Day Productions wedding photography

Hopetoun House is one of those places where you genuinely don't know where to point the camera first.

Hopetoun House is a vast stately home just outside Edinburgh, with sweeping parkland, the Firth of Forth beyond and grand interiors throughout. The kind of estate wedding we love to capture.

The sweeping parkland, the grand interiors, the Firth of Forth stretching out beyond the estate. We've shot here and the scale of it never gets old, every frame feels like it means something.

Getting to Hopetoun House

The nearest train station is Dalmeny, about 2 miles from Hopetoun House, with regular services from Edinburgh Waverley. It is a short taxi ride from there, so worth booking ahead rather than hoping to hail one locally. Edinburgh Airport is your closest major airport, roughly 8 miles away, making it convenient if you are flying in from elsewhere in the UK or abroad. There is good on-site parking at Hopetoun, so driving is a straightforward option for most guests. For the evening, pre-book your taxis or arrange a minibus. Local firms get busy, especially at weekends, so sort this before the big day rather than scrambling at midnight.
