WHAT WE OFFER AS SCOTLAND ELOPEMENT
PHOTO + VIDEO

An all-inclusive photo and video experience for elopements.
For couples who want both film and photography captured with intention, this collection brings everything together in one place. You’ll work with us, Simon and Gregg , throughout the entire process. No extra handoffs, no need to coordinate multiple suppliers. Just a shared creative vision, carried from start to finish with care.
We regularly collaborate with other talented creatives and love doing so. However, when we handle both film and photography, there’s a different kind of workflow. The process becomes more intuitive, the energy stays focused, and the story stays cohesive, without ever feeling over-produced.
We work quietly and naturally, blending cinematic visuals with relaxed, documentary-style photography. Our approach gives you the space to be present, to actually feel the day, while we capture the emotion, the rhythm, and the atmosphere that unfolds.
What matters most to us is how the day feels while you're in it. We put experience first because when the experience is right, the result is better too. That’s what makes this collection more than just coverage, it’s a full visual memory of a day well lived.

“ I have followed Cinemates work for years as I too work in the wedding industry. I knew I wanted them to film my wedding as I just loved their style of story telling and artistic flare. So when my partner and I decided to elope and I showed him Cinemates work he knew he didn't want to look at any other videographers he was just as blown away with the talent as I was.
Our wedding day in Glencoe was amazing, and we really enjoyed Simon and Gregg's company. They are so fun and easy to get along with—it really did feel like old friends. Simon and Greg worked so well with our photographer; it was exciting seeing them bounce ideas about. The day went so fast as we had so much fun.
Even though I was really familiar with Cinemates' style and quality, I was still in absolute awe watching our films back. They are so beautifully shot and edited. I have watched it so many times! (They made us look so good haha!) And my family couldn't believe the standard of quality and film style. They love showing the film to friends, strangers, anyone really.
I will be forever grateful to Simon and Gregg for capturing our day.”

TODAY’S RAIN IS TOMORROW’S WHISKEY
Whiskey Barrel Keepsake Box?
Every couple who books with us receives a handcrafted keepsake box made from reclaimed Scotch whiskey barrels. Created in collaboration with Oak & Black, a small workshop based just outside Edinburgh, each box reflects years of thought, refinement, and care.
The box is hand-delivered on the day of your wedding. Inside, you’ll find a bottle of Glengoyne 12-Year-Old Highland Single Malt — a smooth, approachable whisky with notes of vanilla and apple. The USB containing your wedding film and photos arrives later, once your story has been carefully edited and crafted.
This isn’t just something to put on a shelf. It’s designed to become part of your tradition. A place to revisit your memories, whether that’s on your first anniversary or your fiftieth. Pour a dram, press play, and remember — today’s rain is tomorrow’s whisky.

FAQS
-
Because we work as one creative team, everything feels more natural and less staged. The style is consistent, the timeline flows more smoothly, and there’s no competition for your attention. You spend less time posing and more time enjoying the day. -
If you’ve already booked a photographer, we’d recommend sticking with the videography-only option. Our hybrid package is built around us capturing both photo and film as one creative team, so we wouldn’t want to take the place of another photographer who’s already committed to your day. We deeply value the work other creatives do and wouldn’t feel right stepping in after the fact.
If you’re still early in your planning and haven’t booked photo or video yet, the hybrid package might be the perfect fit. But if you’ve already found your photographer, we’d be more than happy to support you with videography alone.
-
Absolutely. We’ve spent years refining our hybrid process. We know when to prioritize photos, when to focus on film, and how to switch between them without interrupting anything. You’ll receive a full gallery, just as you would from a dedicated photographer.
-
Our photo edits match the tone of our films — clean, natural, cinematic. Think timeless colours, rich textures, and emotion-led framing. No heavy filters or forced trends.
-
Yes. You can add hours, sessions, edits, albums, or even shift to a film-only or photo-only option if plans change. We’ll help guide you through what works best for your day.
-
You’ll receive your content in stages.
Content from the day filmed specifically for social media — like short clips or iPhone footage — is usually delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Perfect for sharing a little something while everything’s still fresh.
Your full film takes a bit more time. Typically, it’s delivered around three to four months after your wedding, depending on the season and our editing queue. Your photos will be delivered alongside your film so everything arrives together, fully finished and ready to relive.
We’ll keep you updated throughout, so you’ll never be left wondering where things are.
-
Yes. A full, sharp, actual metal sword. Nothing says romance like arming the one you love. And yes — she loved it.
