One of the greatest joys of this job has been filming weddings of family and friends over the years. It’s such a privilege to film any wedding but it always feels even more special on a friend’s wedding day.
7 years ago today we were all on the Isle of Mull to celebrate with Becca & Stephen in Stephen’s hometown of Craignure. Handily the town where you get off the boat
It was an incredible weekend with the Sunday being a mini music festival as their friends played arts all day. I feel Scottfest ‘25 needs to happen. Especially as we all didn’t get oasis tickets (I’m sure Stephen is fine with that)
Happy Anniversary Becca & Stephen, thanks for asking me to film your day and thank you from us all for giving us a weekend we’ll all remember for a long long time.
The poem you hear on these highlights was written and performed by my own Best Man Stephen Watt Poet. Check him out on Fb he is genuinely incredible
The band for the first dance that night was Stephen’s own band @havemercylasvegas who you absolute have to follow and listen too. Incredible.
So Stephen and Becca, a reunion in ‘25 on Mull??

A wee Friday throwback to the incredible wedding of Michele and Michael at the beautiful Greenbank gardens.
It had that amazing object in the sky that we haven’t seen much this year. It was indeed very sunny. Great day working with the legends @events_byannah @davidgrantsimpsonphoto and @davidthehumanist

CONTENT CREATORS! Should you hire one for your day?
In our latest advice video we talk about Content Creators and if they can replace Photographers and Videographers on your wedding day.
In short they are an amazing addition to your day, they don’t replace video or photos but they add to them and give you a new and unique angle on your day.

’m always up for an adventure, so when Kirsty and Paul said that they wanted to go on the 4x4 to the waterfall at Carrick Castle Estate they didn’t have to ask twice. We bundled into the back of the pick up truck and away we went…and it was so so worth it. There was no stopping Kirsty as she clambered over the rocks. The only thing that came close to scuppering us was the dreaded Midge…it was a swarm. Didn’t stop us though.�
What a day this was, thank you for having us guys it was so much fun.

When Scotland and the USA come together it always creates an epic occasion.
DeDe and Fraser came over from Nashville to celebrate in style at @carlowrie_castle with their family and friends and the party was a belter.
We even got up and (sometimes too) close with the Highland Coos. Thank you to Robin from Carlowrie for helping us. Also lovely to see @humanisttim gorgeous ceremony as always.
This was such an amazing day to be involved in and so much fun working with @sam_frawley & @jennfrawley who flew over from Nashville to photograph the day. Hope you enjoyed London guys.

It made my day and it is 100% why we do what we do. Knowing that when the day is past you can relive it over and over again.
I will also note that myself and @laurencampbellphotouk had a delicious ice cream on the pier while waiting on the boat
It was a fantastic day for Melissa & Thomas’s wedding. Starting in Ardrosson at St Peter in Chains then on to Lochside House Hotel for a party with Shades of Sax and Singer Secreto

Gemma & Aaron
We were at Carlowrie Castle for Gemma & Aaron’s wedding. With the weather playing ball it was an outside ceremony and the gardens looked amazing.
Gemma was a Bridesmaid at a very close friend’s wedding a few years ago so it was a real honour to be filming her wedding to Aaron. What a day it was right through to the dancing.
Thanks for having us.
Thanks to Jen and Ailsa at Carlowrie for helping make this such an awesome day and looking after us so well.

Kat & Scott
I’ll be honest, when Kat’s dad saw her in her dress for the first time it got me a little choked uo. Just the sheer joy and emotion of seeing his daughter on her wedding day. You’ll know what I mean when you see it.
What a brilliant day from the morning preps through to the dancing, it was a day packed with a lot of love and a lot of laughter.

This was a brilliant day. An early start for the 11am mass at St Andrew’s Cathedral then the trip to Lochgreen House Hotel & Span for the celebration and party. Cristina and Antonio had the perfect day with their family and friends.
I even got to see my pal Laura from Hair.Beauty.Bridal it’s been far too long.

We just sent Jen and Matt their full video and received one of the best messages back once they’d watched it. So here’s their highlights to watch again, with our Wes Anderson inspired start which Jen and Matt noticed straight away.
Love this
PAL!!
Was going to send u a voice note but then thought, jeezo give the poor guy a break, he’s fed up listening to your voice by now 😂😂😂😂
Anyway, how the feck did you manage to:
1 Edit out all my absolute pish talking
2 Manage to catch so much beautiful detail of our glorious day
3 Be in 17 places at once
4 Make us laugh and cry at once while reliving it all
5 Capture everyone we love looking so happy and gorgeous
6 Make the final film look like a technicolour movie 🎥 🍿
personally, I also extend my sincere thanks at keeping my audio saying “half this audio is gonna need cut” then in the next second managing to silence me as i mostly definitely swore HA HA HA HA HA 🥰😂🥰😂
matt was loving that you’d captured his kilt and jacket and pocket flowers so well, meant the world to him coz it was his late dads kilt. ❤️
also you got him with his true love, Sam the chef, as they were having a wee love-in in the kitchen 😂🥰😂🥰
what else… it was fabulous to get to relive the speeches again, they were brilliant and at the time it is hard to take it all in. We loved seeing all the things we didn’t see, because we were somewhere else, what a great insight.

It was matt’s birthday recently and i bought him the new Lego tuxedo cat to build, so he’s quite happy at the moment, but if that ever changes and we end up divorced😆, at least the upside is that when we remarry other folk, we know who immediately who we’d 💯 need to hire!
This is p
Almost 10 months on and I still love look back and Jamie and Scott’s elopement. Coming to Scotland to marry one another for a second time. Their words really explore their appreciation for a second chance to love each other.
The was organised by brilliantly by Lisa from @tartanweddings with every detail coming together to create a beautiful day with @humanisttim conducting the perfect service and @neidpath_castle providing the perfect backdrop.
Also I didn’t lose my drone in a tree this time so that was a bonus even though the wind and rain was beating down.

We talk a lot about story and telling the story of your day, Gemma & Liam’s highlights really encapsulate that for. From Liam’s speech talking about how he and Gemma met to the beautiful moment their daughter Ella ran down the aisle to her daddy to Liam’s dad enjoying?? a wee dram (We’ll let you see that) It is full of moments unique to them and their story
It was a stunning day from the weather to the love and fun shared by everyone in the sunshine on Loch Lomond, it was everything you could want. Thank you for having us as part of your day guys.
