Inverness Wedding Photographer
with a Documentary and Editorial Style
Inverness is the Highland capital, and for most couples it’s the gateway to something bigger: Loch Ness is a few minutes away, and the real Highlands stretch out from here in every direction. This page looks at Inverness specifically, separate from the Scotland country page elsewhere on this site, which spreads out across the whole country.
I photograph weddings across the city and its surrounds, a ceremony in a Jacobite-era mansion, a reception in a purpose-built Highland suite, portraits out along Loch Ness. Below are the real venues worth knowing, plus the questions couples ask me most before booking a wedding here.
From Intimate Elopements to Big Weddings in Inverness
Inverness and the Highlands work beautifully for an intimate elopement, and just as well for a 300-guest reception at a purpose-built suite.
I photograph:
– quiet, intentional elopements with just the two of you
– small weddings with close family and friends
– full wedding days with a larger guest count
– multi-day wedding celebrations, including welcome dinners and relaxed moments before or after the wedding
No matter the size or length of the celebration, my focus is always the same: real moments, strong atmosphere, and portraits that feel natural rather than posed. The scale may change, but the intention doesn’t.
Wedding Videographer in Inverness: Photo and Hybrid Video Coverage
Alongside photography, I also offer wedding video coverage in Inverness as part of a hybrid photo and video approach.
Video is treated as an extension of the photography, captured with the same sensitivity to light, timing, and atmosphere. The focus stays on real moments, movement, and sound, without staged scenes or intrusive production.
For weddings that benefit from an additional perspective, a dedicated videographer can also be included, always working in the same calm, unobtrusive way and fully aligned with how I photograph the day.
This approach works especially well for destination weddings, where intimacy, setting, and emotion matter more than spectacle.
The Wedding Venues in Inverness
A Georgian mansion with real Jacobite history, a modern hotel suite built for Highland weddings, and Loch Ness itself for portraits.
Culloden House
A Georgian mansion built for the Forbes family between 1772 and 1778, incorporating a tower house that has stood on the site since at least the 1500s. Bonnie Prince Charlie and his Jacobite commanders used the earlier building as their headquarters for several days before the Battle of Culloden in 1746, fought less than two miles away. Weddings here are always exclusive-use; no guest capacity is published, so I’d confirm numbers directly.
Kingsmills Hotel
A modern hotel with a dedicated Kingsmills Suite, opened in 2014 and built specifically for weddings, four rooms that combine or separate depending on your numbers. It takes a ceremony of up to 200, a wedding breakfast for up to 300, and an evening reception for up to 350.
Loch Ness
Not a bookable venue. Loch Ness runs along the Great Glen just southwest of the city, and a stretch of its shore or a boat on the water makes for a genuinely different set of portraits than anywhere else on this page.
Your Inverness Wedding Photographer
I’m Dejan, an Inverness wedding photographer.
My focus is always the wedding itself, not performances for the camera. The photos are simply a reflection of the day: genuine, calm, and emotionally grounded.
I take my work seriously, but never myself too seriously. A relaxed atmosphere, clear communication, and quiet confidence make all the difference, especially for destination weddings.
From the moment we met Dejan, he made us feel completely at ease. He has a calm and kind presence, and captured every emotion of the day in a way that felt honest and natural. Nothing felt forced or over-posed, yet he was always in the right place at the right time. His work feels intimate and timeless, and we’ll treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Culloden House’s Jacobite history genuine?
Yes. The earlier building on the site, then called Culloden Castle, served as Bonnie Prince Charlie’s headquarters for several days before the Battle of Culloden in April 1746, fought less than two miles away. The current Georgian mansion dates from the 1770s, built after the battle.
What’s the best time of year for an Inverness wedding?
May through September gives the longest daylight and the most reliable weather for Highland portraits, though the Highlands stay changeable in any month, worth an indoor backup regardless.
Which airport should our guests fly into?
Inverness Airport has direct flights from London and a handful of other UK and European cities, the most convenient option for most guests. Edinburgh, about three and a half hours by road, is the alternative for wider international connections.
Can we build Loch Ness or the wider Highlands into our wedding day?
Yes, this is one of the most common requests I get for an Inverness wedding, portraits at Loch Ness after the ceremony, or a few days built around the trip for a Highlands honeymoon start.
Do we need a wedding planner for Culloden House or Kingsmills?
I’d recommend one for Culloden House given the exclusive-use booking and the logistics of a historic property; Kingsmills, being purpose-built for weddings, has more in-house support already.
