Boclair House
Wedding Photographer

Getting married at Boclair House in Bearsden, near Glasgow? I’m John Clark, and I’d love to photograph your day. From the moments you share with family and friends to portraits with the house as your backdrop, I’ll capture photographs that bring you back to how it all felt.

I photographed John and Henry’s wedding at Boclair House, which was featured in Tie the Knot Scotland.

Christie and Kai’s
Christmas Wedding
at Boclair House

Christie and Kai married at Boclair House on 18 December 2025, just a week before Christmas. Glowing Christmas trees, white flowers and the house’s red sandstone backdrop gave their celebrations a lovely winter atmosphere.

I photographed the quieter moments as well as the big ones Christie putting on her earring, the flower girls descending the staircase and a tearful smile during the ceremony. Outside, we made use of the front steps and bandstand for portraits before returning to hugs, laughter and guests waving their napkins in celebration.

After dark, sparklers and the lights of the house brought a different feel to the photographs. The black-and-white portrait surrounded by backlit droplets was a striking way to round off the story of their day.

Why I love photographing weddings at Boclair House

Boclair House specialises in weddings, and it shows. The team understands the timings and keeps everything running smoothly. Lynette and Nick are brilliant wedding co-ordinators, and in my experience the staff keep the day on time without making anyone feel rushed.

There’s plenty of choice for photographs whatever the weather brings: lovely indoor spaces, shelter beneath the arches and the grounds outside. The front staircase is a particular favourite of mine—it’s one of the few places where a big group photograph can look beautifully natural, with everyone together and the house behind them.

Exclusive use makes a real difference too. It’s just you and your guests, giving the whole celebration a personal feel. For the team, the organisation and the variety of photo locations, Boclair House is one of my favourite wedding venues in and around Glasgow.
