A brief history of Neidpath Castle

Neidpath Castle, perched above the River Tweed near Peebles, is steeped in centuries of history and offers a magical wedding setting.

Built in the 14th century by the Fraser family, this majestic stone fortress has seen its fair share of Scottish history, from noble gatherings to moments of romance and intrigue.

Later, it was owned by the powerful Hay family and became a hub of activity during the turbulent years of the Scottish Wars of Independence and Jacobite uprisings.

Its weathered walls and dramatic battlements hold echoes of a storied past, creating an atmosphere that’s as romantic as it is enchanting.

Today, Neidpath Castle is a sought-after wedding venue, beloved for its historic charm and breathtaking surroundings.

The castle’s interiors exude rustic elegance, with ancient stonework, vaulted ceilings, and roaring fireplaces creating an intimate and atmospheric vibe.

Couples can exchange vows in the Great Hall, which radiates a timeless grandeur or opt for an outdoor ceremony overlooking the lush Tweed Valley.

The surrounding grounds are equally magical for wedding photos.

The castle’s elevated position provides sweeping views of the river, rolling hills, and woodland, offering endless backdrops for romantic, fairytale-like shots.

Picture newlyweds walking under the archway or stealing a kiss beside the centuries-old stone walls.

With its blend of dramatic history, stunning scenery, and unique charm, Neidpath Castle is a truly magical location that ensures unforgettable memories and wedding photos that look like they’ve stepped out of a storybook.

It’s a venue where history and romance come together beautifully.

Our day as Neidpath Castle photographer began with groom Merle, who looked incredible in a kilt outfit and tartan plaid, embracing the Scottish tradition.

Genuinely one of the nicest guys, we had a great time catching shots of Merle with his closest gathering of family and friends outside the castle.

Standing at the altar, excitement and anticipation mingle with a flood of emotions as Merle sees Megan for the first time.

His heart swells with overwhelming love and admiration.

Megan is a vision of beauty as she walks down the aisle with her proud father.

This beautifully intimate ceremony celebrated their love, dreams, and promise of a fantastic future together. It was such a joyful occasion and a delight to photograph.

After warm embraces of congratulations, we took the happy couple on their newlywed photoshoot, capturing the fresh, radiant joy of these beautiful souls, their smiles broad and eyes sparkling with happiness.

They hold hands, interlaced fingers, and gaze into each other’s eyes, lost in their shared bliss.

As an experienced Neidpath Castle photographer, we photographed the magical moments as their love story unfolded in beautiful, evocative images.

Each photo shows their joy, commitment, and unforgettable memories of their romantic day.
