A Beautiful Summer Wedding at The Den at Culross — Heather & Ian’s Story

There are some weddings that stay with you long after the last dance, and Heather and Ian’s unforgettable celebration at The Den at Culross is certainly one of them. Their summer wedding was filled with warmth, music, laughter, and so many emotional moments — the kind of day every videographer dreams of capturing.

This was my very first time filming at The Den at Culross, and I was genuinely blown away. It’s one of those venues that feels perfect from every angle: the beautiful indoor spaces, the charming surroundings, and the atmosphere that makes storytelling effortless. If you’re considering this venue for your own wedding, I can confidently say it’s an incredible backdrop for a cinematic wedding film.

A special mention goes to Jan, the wonderful wedding planner at the venue, whose organisation and kindness kept everything running smoothly. She made sure everyone — including me — felt looked after all day long.

Heather and Ian are now getting ready to start a brand-new chapter in Australia, escaping just in time to miss the Scottish winter! It was such a privilege to capture the final memories they made here before their big adventure. Their highlight film is full of joy, music, and heartfelt moments that reflect exactly who they are as a couple.

A Leith Wedding to Remember: Aoife & Fergus at Season Quayside

Why Leith is one of Edinburgh’s most unique wedding locations — and a dream for videographers.

Filming Aoife and Fergus’s wedding in Leith was one of those days that reminds me why this part of Edinburgh is such a special place to get married. With its mix of maritime history, cobbled streets, calm waterfront views and industrial edges, Leith offers so many opportunities for natural, cinematic storytelling — the kind of footage that feels real, unforced, and full of personality.

Their ceremony in Edinburgh flowed into a relaxed celebration at Season Quayside, one of Leith’s most atmospheric venues. But before the party kicked off, we took some time to wander around the neighbourhood together, capturing the feel of the area and all those in-between moments that make a wedding film come alive.

Why Leith is a Great Place to Get Married — and Even Better for Wedding Videography

If you’re planning a wedding in Edinburgh and looking for somewhere with character, texture and genuine charm, Leith has so much to offer. Here are some of the reasons it’s quickly becoming one of my favourite locations to film:

1. The Shore: Iconic, Timeless, and Full of Life

The Shore is a gift for wedding videographers — the still water, old stone buildings and soft reflections make it a perfect natural backdrop. Whether you’re after quiet, intimate shots or something more lively, the area adapts beautifully.
With Aoife and Fergus, we walked along the waterfront and captured moments that felt relaxed and authentic, letting the setting do the work.

2. The Iron Bridge: Industrial Romance

This little bridge is one of Leith’s most recognisable spots, adding a touch of texture and contrast to wedding footage.
The metalwork, lines and symmetry create cinematic frames that work in both stills and film — ideal for couples who want something slightly different from traditional Edinburgh wedding photography.

3. Customs Lane: Character and Creativity

Customs Lane has a personality all of its own — colourful fronts, interesting angles, and a mix of urban and artistic detail.
It’s great for movement shots, natural walking clips, and capturing the dynamic vibe of Leith without anything feeling overly posed.

4. Season Quayside: A Venue Made for Films

Season Quayside brings warmth and atmosphere to the day. The light, the textures, the open layout — everything is perfect for videography.
Aoife and Fergus’s reception was relaxed, joyful and full of energy, and the space gave us plenty of room to film naturally without interrupting the flow of the celebration.

A Day Full of Story, Movement and Natural Emotion

What I loved most about filming Aoife and Fergus’s wedding was how comfortable and present they were. Leith has a way of helping couples relax — maybe it’s the water, maybe it’s the slower pace — but it translates beautifully on film.

Their walk around the Shore was full of small moments: laughter, quiet pauses, a few spontaneous hugs, and the kind of natural movement that gives a film personality. These are the moments I look for as a wedding videographer, and Leith delivers them effortlessly.

Thinking About Getting Married in Leith?

If you’re planning a Leith wedding and looking for a wedding videographer who focuses on story, movement and natural emotion, I’d love to chat.

Leith offers such a rich, diverse backdrop for films — from historic bridges to peaceful waterfronts — and every couple brings something new to the space.
Whether you’re celebrating at Season Quayside, Malmaison, Custom Lane, or anywhere around the Shore, I’d be excited to help you capture it in a way that feels true to you.

Lisa & Jeremias’ Summer Wedding at Achnagairn Castle | Scottish Highlands Wedding Film

Natural, relaxed wedding videography at Achnagairn Castle in the Scottish Highlands. See Lisa & Jeremias’ summer wedding film by Edinburgh Wedding Videos.

Lisa and Jeremias’ wedding at Achnagairn Castle, just outside Inverness, was one of those summer days that had everything you could ask for — sunshine, laughter, and a brilliant group of people who made the whole day a joy to film.

It might have been a while ago now, but it still stands out as one of my favourite weddings from the season. Lisa and Jeremias couldn’t have been friendlier — both constantly smiling, full of warmth, and completely up for enjoying every part of the day. That relaxed, happy energy really comes through in their wedding highlights film, which you can watch below.

Achnagairn Castle – A Perfect Scottish Highlands Wedding Venue

This was my first time filming at Achnagairn Castle, and it didn’t disappoint. The venue is surrounded by classic Highland scenery — rolling hills, open skies, and beautiful architecture that feels both elegant and relaxed. The staff were brilliant too, making the day run smoothly for everyone involved.

If you’re planning your wedding in the Scottish Highlands, Achnagairn Castle is a fantastic choice. It’s the perfect mix of grandeur and comfort, and it photographs and films beautifully in every direction.

A Warm, Sunny Day Full of Fun and Great People

It really was a scorcher — in every sense. The weather was incredible, the speeches were heartfelt (and funny!), and the dance floor was packed from start to finish.

It was lovely to be reunited with Karo from @regenweibchen after her move up to Lochinver. We’ve worked together a few times over the years, and it’s always great to collaborate with someone who shares the same relaxed, creative approach.

SArah & Stuart’s Dunkeld House Hotel Wedding Film | Perthshire Wedding Videographer

Sarah and Stuart’s wedding at Dunkeld House Hotel in Perthshire was one of those days that just had everything — great energy, plenty of laughter, and a real mix of Scottish and Australian spirit. Sarah’s originally from Australia, Stuart’s from Scotland, and it turns out that when you bring Aussies and Scots together… you’re guaranteed a proper party.

The setting couldn’t have been better. Dunkeld House Hotel, sitting by the River Tay, gave us stunning backdrops in every direction — from the tree-lined drive and gardens to the riverside views that make this venue so popular with couples getting married in Perthshire.

The morning started calmly enough, but by the time speeches rolled around, things got lively. Sarah’s dad gave one of the most memorable speeches I’ve heard — let’s just say he shared a little too much detail about her early years! It had everyone in stitches and set the tone perfectly for the rest of the night.

Working alongside Dom from Duke Photography and Kimmie from Litu Weddings made the day run effortlessly. Everyone was relaxed, the atmosphere was brilliant, and the dance floor was full until the very end.

This extended highlights film brings all of that together — the emotion, the humour, and the connection that made Sarah and Stuart’s day so personal and so much fun to capture.

THE byre at inchyra wedding: sarah & Callum

Here’s the highlights film from the incredible wedding of Sarah and Callum, who tied the knot earlier this year at the beautiful Byre at Inchyra, one of Perthshire’s most loved countryside wedding venues.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect — blue skies, warm sunshine, and that soft, golden light that makes every wedding video in Scotland look absolutely magical. Thanks to the glorious conditions, Sarah and Callum were able to have their ceremony outdoors in the Byre’s famous walled garden — a truly breathtaking location surrounded by wildflowers, rustic stone walls, and the peaceful sounds of the countryside. It’s one of my all-time favourite ceremony spots to film at.

As a Byre at Inchyra wedding videographer, I always get excited to shoot here. This venue has such a unique charm — from the rustic barn interior with its fairy lights and timber beams to the open fields and woodland trails that are perfect for couple portraits. Every direction you turn, there’s another cinematic backdrop just waiting to be captured.

Sarah and Callum’s wedding day was everything a Scottish barn wedding should be — relaxed, romantic, and filled with laughter. Their friends and family brought such a joyful energy to the day, and it really shines through in their wedding highlights film. From emotional vows in the garden to dancing the night away in the byre, it was a celebration full of love and life.

It was such a pleasure to be part of their day and to create a Perthshire wedding video that tells their story so beautifully. I can’t wait to be back at The Byre at Inchyra soon — it’s truly one of Scotland’s best wedding venues for videography.

Celine & Daniel at the royal college of physicians, Edinburgh

Celine and Daniel’s wedding at the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh was a real privilege to film. The venue is one of the city’s most iconic spaces – elegant, historic, and full of character – and it couldn’t have been a better setting for their day. From start to finish, it was full of laughter, genuine moments, and a brilliant atmosphere.

What stood out most was how personal the day felt. Nothing was staged or forced – it was very much a reflection of who they are as a couple. You could see how much their family and friends mean to them, and those connections came across so clearly throughout the day.

One of my favourite little details came from a story about Celine’s childhood. On a family holiday, she was given prawns to eat but wasn’t keen – so instead of saying anything, she quietly put the prawn eyeballs into her purse to get rid of them. It’s a small, funny story, but it says a lot about her playful side, which was definitely still there on the wedding day.

Being able to capture those kinds of moments – from the ceremony to the dance floor – is exactly why I enjoy this work so much. It’s about more than just documenting a wedding; it’s about preserving the little details and the atmosphere that make each day unique.

Celine and Daniel, thank you again for trusting me with your story. It’s a wedding I’ll definitely remember.

Beautiful Edinburgh wedding at City Chambers with photo stops at The Vennel, Victoria Street & Royal Mile, filmed by Edinburgh Wedding Videos.

Rachel & Raymond’s Edinburgh Wedding – City Chambers, The Vennel, and Imperial Palace

As a professional wedding videographer in Edinburgh, I get to film love stories in some of the most iconic and beautiful locations in Scotland’s capital. Rachel and Raymond’s wedding was a perfect example of how couples can blend tradition, heritage, and Edinburgh’s charm into one unforgettable day.

Wedding Ceremony at Edinburgh City Chambers

The couple chose the Edinburgh City Chambers for their ceremony – one of the city’s most popular and elegant wedding venues. The grand architecture and historic surroundings created the perfect setting as Rachel and Raymond exchanged vows in front of their closest family and friends. Capturing the emotion and atmosphere of this moment was truly special, and the City Chambers provided a cinematic backdrop for the start of their married life together.

Wedding Video Shoot Around Edinburgh Old Town

After the ceremony, we headed out into the heart of Edinburgh for a wedding video shoot at some of the city’s most photogenic locations.

• The Vennel – with its cobbled steps and stunning view of Edinburgh Castle – gave us those dramatic, romantic shots couples love.

• Victoria Street – famous for its colourful buildings and unique charm – added a playful, vibrant element to their wedding film.

• The Royal Mile – timeless, historic, and atmospheric – rounded off the shoot with classic Edinburgh style.

These spots are some of my favourite places for wedding videography in Edinburgh, as they combine romance with the city’s unique character.

Tea Ceremony and Reception at The Imperial Palace

In the evening, Rachel and Raymond celebrated with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, a beautiful way to honour their heritage and families. Filming this part of the day was a privilege – the emotion, respect, and cultural traditions were incredibly moving.

The celebrations continued with a Chinese buffet at The Imperial Palace, where guests enjoyed amazing food, heartfelt speeches, and plenty of laughter. It was the perfect way to bring two cultures together and end the day on a high.

Why I Loved Filming This Edinburgh Wedding

Rachel and Raymond’s wedding was full of authentic, heartfelt moments – from the vows at City Chambers, to the cinematic strolls through Old Town, to the traditions at Imperial Palace. As a wedding videographer, it’s days like these that remind me why I love my work: every couple has a unique story, and my job is to capture it in a way that lasts forever.

LUKE and Becca: Winton Castle Wedding

I’ve just wrapped up the edit of Luke and Becca’s wedding film, and it’s been a real pleasure to revisit such a memorable day. Luke and Becca, both journalists from New York, were married at Winton Castle in East Lothian — a setting that turned out to be not only visually stunning but also incredibly welcoming and well run. It’s quietly become one of my favourite venues to film at.

The day itself had a calm, thoughtful feel from start to finish. There were no big productions or over-the-top moments — just a genuine connection between two people, shared with their closest family and friends. Filming solo, I’m always looking for the quiet in-between moments that say something real, and this day had plenty of those.

Winton Castle really lends itself to that kind of storytelling. The character of the rooms, the quality of the light, and the peaceful setting all made it a joy to work in. I’m proud of the finished film and grateful to Luke and Becca for letting me document their day in such a personal way.

Rachael and Steven at the Signet library

Rachael and Steven’s wedding at the Signet Library in May was one of those days that makes my job easy. They’re a young, sharp-looking couple who were totally up for making the most of the video side of things — which always helps me capture something a bit more dynamic and personal. From the start, they were relaxed, up for ideas, and really trusted me to get creative, which goes a long way in making a film that actually feels like them.

The Signet Library is one of the most unique wedding venues in Edinburgh — right off the Royal Mile, full of character, and a dream for shooting clean, cinematic footage. Between the two levels and all that natural light, there’s loads to work with. Rachael and Steven nailed the balance between keeping it classy and having a proper celebration. We got everything from a quiet moment before the ceremony to a packed dance floor later on — and a few impromptu shots in between.

If you’re planning a wedding at the Signet Library and want a wedding videographer who’ll keep things real, capture the energy of the day, and not just the pretty setups, get in touch. This one was a brilliant reminder of how fun and fast-paced filming a wedding in Edinburgh can be.

Wedding Content Creator vs. Wedding Videographer: Understanding the Difference

Firstly - I want to say that ALL of the wedding Creators I have worked with so far have been lovely - despite my concerns!

Weddings have evolved in countless ways over the years—and so have the ways we capture them. Today, couples aren’t just hiring photographers and videographers; they’re also bringing on wedding content creators to document behind-the-scenes moments for social media.

While both wedding videographers and content creators offer unique value, their roles are quite different. If you’re planning your big day, understanding what each one brings to the table can help you make the most informed (and lasting) decision.

What Does a Wedding Content Creator Do?

A wedding content creator is essentially a social media specialist dedicated to your wedding day. Armed with a smartphone, their job is to capture quick, casual moments that can be shared on platforms like Instagram and TikTok—often within hours of saying “I do.”

Key Offerings:

• Behind-the-scenes footage from a guest’s perspective

• Quick turnaround for next-day posting

• Trending audio, filters, and Reels-style edits

• A candid, relaxed feel

If you’re the kind of couple that loves sharing every moment with your followers, a content creator can keep your online presence fresh and lively. They’re also great for helping you relive those fun, fleeting in-between moments you might otherwise miss.

What Does a Wedding Videographer Do?

A wedding videographer approaches your day with storytelling in mind. Using professional-grade cameras, audio equipment, and editing software, they focus on crafting a cinematic film that captures the essence of your relationship and the emotional arc of the day.

Key Offerings:

• Professionally filmed and edited highlight films

• High-quality audio of vows, speeches, and ambient moments

• Multiple camera angles for dynamic storytelling

• Full-length ceremony and reception coverage (optional)

• A polished, timeless keepsake

While content creators offer immediacy and spontaneity, videographers focus on creating something more enduring—an heirloom-quality film that can be revisited and shared for years to come.

Complementary Roles—But Different Purposes

Content creators and videographers often work side by side at modern weddings, and in the best cases, their roles complement one another. One provides instant memories; the other preserves the day in a deeper, more structured way.

But it’s important to remember that while content creators are skilled at capturing a certain vibe, videographers are trained storytellers. They consider lighting, pacing, sound, emotion, and atmosphere. They edit with intention. The result is a film that not only shows what happened but helps you feel it all over again.

Which Should You Choose?

If your budget allows, hiring both can be the best of both worlds—fun, spontaneous content for the short term, and a beautifully crafted film for the long haul.

But if you’re choosing between the two, think about what matters most: quick social media posts, or a professionally produced video that you’ll want to watch every anniversary. One captures the day in real time. The other tells the story for a lifetime.
