OK, so the jackets/waistcoats and sporrans all seem... well... somewhat casual for the occasion. Is there a difference for the groom (as opposed to groomsmen) not to be wearing a black/dark jacket and dress sporran? All those appear to be hunting style. Sorry if I'm really missing something being so new to the protocols, or is this a case of evolving fashion?

Fashion does evolve and indeed nowadays the more formal outfits seen at Scottish weddings tend to be worn by those who have hired a kilt outfit just for the occasion. Those of us here in Scotland who own one or more kilts tend to be less formal.
Here's a pic from my wedding in 2013. I as the groom am the only one wearing a bonnet. Groom and Best Man are the only two wearing black Argyle jackets. No need for Prince Charlies or waistcoats.

The thing is Steve,that the traditional kilt wearer would not describe those pictures as a traditional wedding.

I believe there can be as much pomp and circumstance as desired (tastes of the wedding party) but the ceremony alone is the important factor. I would recommend dressing for the level of anxiety that one would encounter during the event. Looking "at ease" will create an atmosphere of calm and promote joy among the guests and entourage.

Perhaps worthy of note is that the Prince Charlie is the equivalent of a tuxedo and not therefore traditionally worn before 6:00 pm.
Not generally seen in the US, a formal day wedding would have the groom in a morning coat. I believe a kilt with jacket and waistcoat would be the Scottish equivalent, but stand ready to be corrected by those with more knowledge.
