Gemma & Dylan // Customs House, Leith

Filming Gemma and Dylan’s wedding was an absolute pleasure. I had already shot Gemmas twin sisters wedding - so it was lovely to be aksed back to film Gemma and Dylans (I must be doing something right!) As a wedding videographer, I get to witness a lot of incredible days, but theirs stood out for its relaxed atmosphere and genuine moments. The ceremony at Customs House was simple yet elegant, with its historic architecture and riverside setting adding a timeless feel to the day. Leith hads changed a lot since I lived there - defintiely more hipster and cosmopolitan - in a good way! The personal touches in their vows and the way they looked at each other made it clear how much this day meant to them.

The reception at Seasons Quayside was a perfect continuation of the celebrations. The space was full of energy, with guests fully embracing the moment—whether during the speeches, the music, or on the dance floor. The waterfront location gave a great backdrop for candid moments, and the evening light made for some stunning shots. There were so many lovely choices for couples shots that we really were spoilt for choice.

What stood out most was how effortlessly everything came together—no over-the-top staging, just real moments between two people and the people closest to them. Capturing that kind of atmosphere is exactly why I love filming weddings!

Emily & Brian’s wedding at dynamic earth

Brian and Emily’s wedding at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh was a truly unforgettable celebration. As wedding videographers, we always love capturing unique venues, and this one was something special. With access to the planetarium (for a very surreal film about constellations!) and the exhibits, the day had an incredible atmosphere—modern, fun, and full of personality, just like the couple themselves. The ceremony took was orchestrated by one of Emilys close friends giving the whole thing a really personal feel. Brian and Emily’s vows were heartfelt and genuine, and it was clear to see how much the moment meant to them both. One of the highlights of the day was filming the newlyweds during 'golden hour' - although in Scotland in December 'Golden minute' would be more accurate! As the evening continued, the celebrations moved into full swing. The mix of science, great music, and romance made for such a unique wedding experience, with guests able to immerse themselves in the exhibits while also enjoying the joy of the occasion. Capturing the couple’s love story in such a dynamic setting was a real privilege. Congratulations again to Brian and Emily— I loved being a part of your wedding at Dynamic Earth! 🎥✨

Kirsty & Lewis at the Biscuit Factory

Filming Kirsty and Lewis’s wedding at The Biscuit Factory in Edinburgh was a blast! From the moment I arrived, I could tell this was going to be something a bit different – and in the best possible way. The venue itself, with its industrial charm and quirky character, was the perfect backdrop for a couple as fun and laid-back as these two. I love tihs venue! There was none of that stiff, formal wedding vibe – just pure, unfiltered happiness and a whole lot of laughter. Kirsty and Lewis brought so much personality to the day, making it such a dream to capture on film. Whether it was their infectious energy, the way they couldn’t stop grinning at each other, or the little offbeat touches they’d woven into the celebrations, every moment felt effortlessly special. The guests picked up on their vibe, creating this warm, buzzing atmosphere that made everything feel even more magical. - Berr Pong, darts...who could ask for more! I love weddings that break the mould, and this one did exactly that. No rigid schedules, no forced traditions – just a couple completely in their element, celebrating their love in a way that felt totally, uniquely them. It was a privilege to be a part of it, and we can’t wait to put together a film that captures all the fun, laughter, and love of the day.

Broxmouth Courtyard Wedding Video | Stunning Wedding Videography in Scotland

Filming Emma and Paul’s wedding at Broxmouth Courtyard was one of those days that reminded me why I love what I do. The Scottish weather did its thing—rain, then more rain—but honestly, that just made for some of the best moments. There’s something about a couple who fully embraces the day, no matter what, that makes for an incredible wedding film. From the cosy indoor vows to guests dancing under umbrellas, every shot felt effortlessly natural and full of personality.

I’m Edinburgh Wedding Videos, and I believe the best wedding films aren’t about staged moments—they’re about capturing the real energy of the day.

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.
