BIRKHILL CASTLE WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY

Written By joe carter

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.
