Interested in Our Wedding Videography?
Your wedding might be an intimate dinner in a garden or a weekend-long celebration at a private estate. It might be a barefoot ceilidh in a barn or a black-tie event at Gleneagles. However it unfolds, we approach it the same way, with care, intention, and an experience-first mindset.
For 15 years, we’ve created films for couples who want to hold onto the feeling of their wedding day. Not just how it looked, but how it sounded, how it moved, and how it felt to be surrounded by your favourite people.
We’ve filmed wild parties, quiet vows, castle weddings, and highland gatherings. We’ve worked across Scotland and beyond, from sacred spaces in the Vatican to the grit of Austin and the elemental drama of Norway’s fjords, but we always come back to this: adventure doesn’t have to mean hiking boots. It can be bringing your people to Scotland for a bold, beautiful celebration in a place that feels meaningful.
Whether it's vows by the fire, dancing under chandeliers or a party your people will talk about for years, we’ll be there to document it all without turning it into a production.
You set the tone. We follow your rhythm. And what we create becomes a visual legacy, something to return to, again and again.
WHAT IS VISUAL LEGACY?

ALL PACKAGES INCLUDE…
-
You’ll never miss a moment!
With both of us capturing your wedding day, you get full coverage across both photo and film. We work intuitively as a duo, bouncing between angles, reactions, and perspectives; no rushed shots, no missed emotions. Especially for hybrid coverage, it means photography and video are perfectly in sync, giving your story both motion and stillness in equal measure.
And yes, we can also serve as legal witnesses.
-
You’ll get ALL the moments too!
For elopements, it’s open-ended. Whether it’s a sunrise hike, a picnic by the loch, or stargazing at midnight, we follow your pace, not a clock. Because the best moments aren’t always scheduled.
For weddings, we typically start a couple of hours before your ceremony to capture the still, quiet anticipation. From getting ready through to your first few dances, we document the arc of the day as it naturally unfolds.
Got something special planned? Let’s just say we’re open for ANYTHING! -
Scotland deserves to be seen from above.
We’re fully licensed drone pilots, but more than that, we’re skilled storytellers who know how to fly with purpose. We’ve taken off in stormy weather, flown through Highland rain, and caught the calm just before the clouds clear. The landscapes you choose to get married in matter, and we make sure they’re part of your film in a way that feels cinematic, not just scenic.
-
All your memories, always accessible.
We’re proud Pic-Time ambassadors and host everything from highlights to full documentary films in a beautifully designed, secure online gallery. Everything is downloadable, shareable, and viewable from anywhere in the world. You’ll have access for at least a year, with the option to extend anytime.
-
A physical keepsake, not just a link.
In addition to your online gallery, we give you a handcrafted USB so your memories live beyond the cloud. It’s delivered in a custom whisky barrel box, engraved with our logo and filled with something meaningful.
-
A nod to legacy, made with love.
For couples who book with us, we include a handcrafted box made from reclaimed Scottish whisky barrels, engraved with our logo. Inside, you’ll find a place for your USB, plus a bottle of Glengoyne 12-year-old single malt. A small but lasting reminder of what your day meant.
WHY ELOPE IN SCOTLAND?
For some, it’s the landscapes. The sweeping glens. The sea mist clinging to the hills. The ancient quiet of it all.
But for many, it’s something deeper. Something they can’t quite name.
It’s a feeling that settles in your bones. A pull that feels like returning, even if it’s your first time here.
Some call it lineage. Some call it legacy.
We just call it home.
Whatever pulls you to Scotland, whether it’s family history or a love for the wild, we’ll capture that connection through film and photographs.
Because this isn’t just a beautiful place to get married, it’s part of the reason you’re here at all.
WHAT WE OFFER AS SCOTLAND ELOPEMENT
VIDEOGRAPHERS
Need a video for your elopement?
You’re in the right place.
For 15 years, filmmaking has been our core focus. It’s what we know best.
Surveys often show that one of the biggest wedding regrets is not hiring a videographer. And we understand why. Photos capture a moment, but films carry the voices, the movement, and the emotion. Our work focuses on the atmosphere, the unscripted moments, and the connection between you, your people, and the place you chose to say your vows.
Whether you're hiking into Glencoe or reading vows in the rain on Skye, we’re there to support the experience while quietly documenting it. We’ve tied kilts, carried cakes, signed as witnesses, and always worked with the land and weather to let your story unfold naturally.
Eloping is about creating space to actually feel it all. Our films are here to hold that feeling for you, long after the day has passed.

From the misty highlands to the majestic castles, Cinemate effortlessly transformed each scene into a cinematic masterpiece, weaving together the picturesque landscapes with the raw emotions. Their meticulous attention to detail and unparalleled storytelling ability brought our wedding to life in a way that was both captivating and deeply moving”

“SPEECHLESS !!!
We are struggling to find words to express our gratitude to Cinemate for capturing our wedding day so perfectly and beautifully!
Absolutely EPIC!! You shouldn't have any doubts about booking this incredible team...just do it already. While exploring vendors, the other wedding videos we watched online can't even compare, and from the start there was not a doubt in our minds that Cinemate was the perfect choice.
A massive, massive thanks to Gregg and Simon for the pure work of art you created. You are both so talented, and a huge delight to work with! You told our story so wonderfully and our wedding videos are much more amazing than we ever dreamed! We are still at a loss for words! Cinemate made our wedding day even more special, from your awesome vibes/energy that made us feel comfortable on camera (you don't even know they're there-we are amazed at the context you captured throughout the best day ever) to helping the boys tie their kilt laces, and much more. It was a pleasure to have you and you were such an important part of the day.”

WHO WE’RE FOR
Still wondering if we’re right for you? Let’s get specific…
-
Whether you're traveling from America, South Africa, Canada, Asia, or just across the Forth, we understand how overwhelming planning a wedding from afar can feel.
While we’re not planners by title, we certainly see ourselves as your on-the-ground team. From suggesting how to blend cultures meaningfully to helping you find reliable suppliers to answering questions you didn’t know you had, we’re here for all of it.
We’ve done this many times before, and our goal is to make the process of marrying in Scotland as joyful and straightforward as possible.
-
We’re not about preserving outfits in pristine condition. If you’re the kind of bride who looks down at her muddy hem at the end of the day and feels proud of what it represents—the hike, the rain, the freedom, then we’re probably a good fit. We’re here for the boots-under-the-dress energy, for climbing hills in full wedding gear, for chasing that soft evening light without checking the forecast first.
-
If you’re choosing to ditch the big traditions and do things your way — whether that means eloping, skipping speeches, or dancing before dinner —we’re here for it. The wedding industry is loud about how things "should" be. We’re here to remind you that none of that matters. You deserve to celebrate in a way that reflects who you actually are.
-
Most of our couples tell us this, and it’s never a problem. We shoot handheld and light, without rigs, rails, or big setups. Just the two of us, blending in and putting people first. We’re not going to stage anything that feels unnatural. Instead, we’ll help you settle in, read the room, and be there like a pair of extra friends with cameras. Yes, we’ll gently guide when needed, but mostly, we let your connection do the talking.
-
We want to be clear about who we are and what we stand for. We're two cis, straight, white men, and while we know that comes with a mountain of privilege, we also know it comes with responsibility. We care deeply about creating space for everyone, especially those whose stories have been underrepresented in this industry. That means LGBTQIA+ couples, Black and brown couples, disabled and neurodiverse folk, multicultural celebrations, and anyone whose identity or tradition deserves to be seen, respected, and celebrated.
We’re actively working to make our portfolio better reflect the diverse world we live in. So if you don’t see yourself represented on our site just yet, know this: you are welcome here. We would be honored to tell your story.
-
We know how important your family and chosen family are. We’re both dads ourselves, and we love seeing children at weddings; they bring honesty, energy, and unpredictability that always makes the footage better. We don’t just film your guests; we bond with them. We’ll be there chatting with your parents, learning names, listening to stories, and quietly observing what matters most to you. It’s how we’re able to create films that feel as full of heart as they are of movement.
