Winter Wedding at Cairns Farm – Capturing Melissa & Christon’s Day

As a wedding videographer in Edinburgh, I get to film weddings in some incredible locations, and Cairns Farm Estate in November was no exception. Melissa and Christon’s winter wedding had a crisp, atmospheric feel, with the rolling Pentland Hills providing the perfect backdrop. The low autumn light and frosty air added a natural, cinematic quality to their day—ideal for capturing timeless footage. The venue was beautifully styled with seasonal flowers, and subtle festive touches that suited the time of year without feeling overdone. From the morning preparations through to the first dance, everything had an effortless flow. Melissa and Christon’s ceremony was personal and relaxed, and their outdoor couple’s shoot took full advantage of snowy backdrop. As the evening set in, guests gathered inside for speeches, music, and plenty of celebrations. Shooting in low light can be a challenge, but the warm glow of the venue and the energy of the night made for some great moments on film. If you’re planning a wedding in Edinburgh or the surrounding areas a winter wedding at Cairns Farm is well worth considering. And if you need a wedding videographer to capture it all, I’d love to hear from you.

Anna & Connor // The Signet Library

Anna and Connor’s wedding at the Signet Library last autumn was one of those days that reminds you why you love what you do. The Signet Library, right in the heart of Edinburgh, is a videographer’s dream. Its timeless elegance—soaring columns, golden accents, and soft natural light streaming through tall windows—makes every shot feel effortless. As the day unfolded, it was clear how much this space reflected the couple’s vision: refined, warm, and full of character. What made this wedding especially unique was its cross-the-pond nature. With family and friends traveling from both Scotland and the U.S., there was such an incredible energy in the room—joyful, heartfelt, and at times a little emotional. Capturing those small moments, like a quiet laugh between Anna and her maid of honor or Connor’s reaction when he saw Anna for the first time, felt so personal. It wasn’t just about the big gestures but the genuine connection between everyone there. The Signet Library itself brought a sense of occasion without feeling over the top. The Lower Library made for an intimate, atmospheric ceremony space, and later, the Upper Library transformed into a stunning reception area. The blend of historic charm and thoughtful modern touches in the design meant every moment looked like it belonged in a film. The light, the layout, and even the way sound carries in the space—it all just works. Being part of Anna and Connor’s day was a privilege, and filming at the Signet Library was a reminder of how powerful a venue can be in telling a couple’s story. It wasn’t just a beautiful setting; it felt like the perfect place for these two to celebrate their journey together, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them.

BIRKHILL CASTLE WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY

I have had the privilage of working at some amazing venues all over Scotland but in 2024 I got to work at some new venues that were amazing,

One of these is Birkhill Castle - what a venue!

Set against the serene beauty of the Scottish countryside, Birkhill Castle is an exceptional wedding venue that perfectly balances history, elegance, and natural charm. As a wedding videographer, it’s one of those rare places that not only impresses visually but also creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every moment feel special. One of the best features of Birkhill Castle is the fact that guests hae free regin of the whole venue - feeling intimate and personal rather than very seperate like other larger venues.

The castle itself is stunning—a blend of classic architecture and a lived-in character that gives it real personality. From the ivy-clad stone walls to the intricate details inside, there’s an authenticity here that makes it stand out. For videographers, it’s a gift: every angle offers something unique, whether it’s the soft light streaming through tall windows or the dramatic silhouettes the castle creates against the sky.

The gardens are equally remarkable. They’re beautifully maintained without feeling overly manicured, which makes them feel alive and dynamic on camera. Depending on the season, you might capture vibrant summer colors, autumn’s rich tones, or even the stark, atmospheric beauty of winter. The natural light in the area is a dream to work with—it’s soft and flattering, perfect for those candid moments couples love to see in their films. The views over the Tay are STUNNING - I was lucky enough to get some drone shots on a beautifully still day.

Another thing I appreciate about Birkhill Castle is how well it accommodates the flow of a wedding day. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony in one of the cozy indoor spaces or a larger gathering outdoors, the transitions feel seamless. This makes it easy to stay in the background while capturing everything naturally, without disrupting the day.

For couples, the venue provides a sense of intimacy and exclusivity. For videographers, it’s a canvas that inspires creativity at every turn. If you’re looking for a venue that will make your wedding day unforgettable—and your wedding film truly special—Birkhill Castle is hard to beat.

Zita & MAtthew // Dalmeny Park Hotel

Zita and Matthew’s wedding at Dalmeny Park Hotel was a really fun day, filled with love, laughter, and mini golf in the drizzle. As a Scottish wedding videographer, I couldn’t have asked for a friendlier couple capture this memorable day. Dalmeny Park Hotel, located in the picturesque Renfrewshire countryside, is one of Scotland’s finest wedding venues, blending classic Victorian architecture with manicured gardens that create a beautiful backdrop for wedding videos.

Using a cinematic style, I focused on capturing natural, candid moments that reflect the genuine love Zita and Matthew share.

Capturing these meaningful moments on video, from the couple’s emotional first dance to the lively celebration that followed, was an incredible experience. For any couple dreaming of a Scottish wedding in an elegant hotel venue, Dalmeny Park Hotel is a spectacular choice, and having a professional wedding videographer ensures that every beautiful detail and heartfelt moment is preserved.
