Borders Wedding Videographer Hawick. Watch Our Cinematic Highlights Video.
Being Kerry and Liam’s Scottish Borders wedding videographer was a highlight of our wedding year!
We might be an Edinburgh wedding videographer, but we’re always happy to travel anywhere in Scotland for a fun wedding day, and we were excited to be part of what promised to be a great day.
Kerry and Liam chose to marry in Denholm, a beautiful location in the Scottish Borders.

Borders Wedding Videographer Highlights Edit
Pre-ceremony bridal preparations
Our day as a Scottish Borders wedding videographer started at Kerry’s parents’ house, filming bridal preparations.
Jonathon began filming fabulous drone footage of the family home.
Kerry’s father, George, told us later that morning that the house had been his old primary school.
The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, with a warm, homely feel.
The girls, wearing pretty floral robes, sipped prosecco as they sat for hair by Ellava and makeup by Beauty Secrets, both local businesses based in Hawick.
I captured candid footage of Kerry, her mum, her best bride squad, and bridesmaids Zara, Jade, Beccy, and Amy as they prepared.
Upstairs, Jonathon filmed Kerry’s beautiful wedding dress by Indiebride, as well as cinematic slider shots of Kerry’s gorgeous wedding shoes, the bridesmaids’ dresses, and her unique wedding-day jewellery.
We met our groom, Liam, his best man and Ushers at the church.
Liam was happy and looked handsome in his complete kilt outfit by Highland Kilt Connections.
He was laid-back and relaxed, and a hip flask was on hand, but we can’t say whether it was used to steady his nerves!
Being a leading Scottish Borders wedding videographer means getting creative.
Our drone was used again to take those wow-factor cinematic shots of the church and the beautiful, sweeping countryside.
Denholm church ceremony
With excitement building, locals from the village gathered around the village green to watch and patiently wait for the arrival of our bride.
I stayed at the church, capturing guests as they arrived by private coach to the sound of Piper Roddy McIntyre.
Liam’s Ushers were on hand to meet and greet and hand out the ‘order of service’ as guests eagerly took their seats.
Back with our beautiful bride Kerry, Jonathon filmed the bridal party as they left the family home and walked to Ruberslaw Parish church.
Kerry walks arm in arm with her emotional Dad, her bridesmaids in front and her Mum and brother behind her.
As a Scottish Borders wedding videographer, I captured the beautiful moment on film as our bride waved to all her spectators. Here comes the bride!
Kerry looked gorgeous in her bohemian-style wedding dress.
Her hair, styled with soft, beachy waves, looked effortlessly romantic.
She wore a floral crown headpiece that perfectly matched Primrose and Percy’s gorgeous bridal bouquet.
Kerry and Liam had a beautiful wedding ceremony officiated by Minister Jordan Hope.
Kerry and Liam exchanged vows and wedding rings with their friends and family; it was a joy to watch and film.
When Kerry and Liam walked out of the church as husband and wife, they were met by a large crowd of local well-wishers.
Even our newlyweds’ pet pooches, Bear the Labradoodle and Ziggy the Goldendoodle, joined in on this joyous occasion! They looked adorable in their bow ties!
Our newlyweds were greeted with warm congratulations and showered with hugs and kisses from friends and family.
We loved the confetti shower, which looks impressive in slow motion on the video!
With filming at the church now complete, I went to the Mansfield House Hotel in Hawick for the wedding reception.
Fatlips Castle drone footage of the newlyweds
Meanwhile, Jonathon joined our newlyweds and dogs Bear and Ziggy on a 4-wheel-drive buggy ‘off-roading’ trip to one of the best settings we’ve seen for newlywed photos.
Fatlips Castle is a striking 16th-century tower house perched atop Minto Crags in the Scottish Borders, offering breathtaking views of the River Teviot, Teviotdale, and the surrounding countryside, extending to the English Border.
Its rich history and romantic, rugged charm make it a unique setting for newlywed photos and videos.
The castle’s restored interiors blend medieval character with modern touches, making it ideal for intimate shots and creating an unforgettable setting.
The dramatic backdrop of the crags and expansive views provides stunning photo opportunities.
Whether you’re drawn to its historical allure or the secluded, romantic atmosphere, Fatlips Castle is perfect for couples seeking a unique photo setting steeped in Scottish heritage.
It is an absolute gem of a place, a fairy-tale castle; as an experienced Scottish Borders wedding videographer, we loved how it also provided the most stunning setting for beautiful drone footage.
Reception at Mansfield House Hotel
A benefit of having more than one Scottish Borders wedding videographer at your wedding is having two parts of the day filmed simultaneously, ensuring you can see all of the day on your video.
I stayed close to the guests at the hotel and filmed all the merriment of the drinks reception.
Later, in the Thornwood Suite, I filmed the small details shown in their video.
The Thornwood Suite looked fabulous and was filled with beautifully scented candles.
There was a delicious-looking sweet treat table filled with homemade cakes.
Homemade wedding favours included bags filled with heart-shaped shortbread and miniature bottles containing a sweet and an alcoholic liqueur.
Speeches and an evening party
Announced into the Thornwood Suite, guests cheered and clapped as our newlyweds sat at the top table.
Everyone enjoyed the heartfelt speeches, followed by dinner.
The celebrations continued in the evening, with the newlyweds cutting their wedding cake.
Our day as Scottish Borders wedding videographers filming this fabulous day ended with Kerry, Liam, their families, and guests dancing to live music by the Watershed.
What a great ending to a beautiful day of filming as Kerry and Liam’s Scottish Borders videographer.

We had a great time and felt so comfortable!
Jonathon and Claire are the loveliest couple… from our very first communication, they made us feel special and were so interested in who we are as people! They tailored everything just for us, and had they not radiated such beauty and kindness, we wouldn’t have even known they were there… and for two people like us who HATE getting photos taken, we had a great time and felt so comfortable!
We got married on 31st December, and they gave up their own celebrations with their families to help us capture ours…
We truly hit the jackpot, and wouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!
Please don’t pass up the opportunity on having these two look after your special day! Very trustworthy and fantastic value for money.We absolutely love our wedding pictures
Jonathon and Claire – we cannot thank you both enough for being the best – from start to finish, it has been a dream to work with you both! If you are reading this and considering booking – DO IT!!
Thank you both SO MUCH for everything, we absolutely love our wedding pictures and how beautifully you have captured our day and the memories we’ll have forever – we are still so blown away by how perfectly everything turned out and on an absolute high!
We also wanted to say how grateful we are to have had you both at our wedding. You were just such a joy to be around and put us both at ease.
You got us and the vibe of the day so perfectly, and our family and friends have also said how brilliant you both were! Thank you so much!!! Helen & Daniel xxx
