Being Lauren and Stewart’s Peebles Hydro wedding videographer was everything we could have ever dreamed of, and we were delighted to be trusted to film this special day.
When you allow us to be your Peebles Hydro wedding videographer, we promise you award-winning customer service and a fabulous cinematic video, but don’t just take our word for it:
Zoe and BillyJonathon and Claire are the loviest 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.

Peebles Hydro Wedding Videographer Highlights Video
Peebles is a stunning hub for photography and films. Having photographed and filmed weddings across the Scottish Borders, we find the light in this valley distinct from that of the city—softer, warmer, and ideal for cinematic portraits.
Being invited to be a Peebles Hydro wedding videographer is always a pleasure.
As an Edinburgh wedding videographer, we’re accustomed to seeing beautiful venues. Still, this stunning venue, situated in the Scottish Borders, boasting breathtaking scenery, grand architecture, and endless creative possibilities, ranks among the best in Edinburgh.
Capturing a couple’s love story against rolling hills, elegant interiors, and dreamy golden-hour light is incredibly satisfying.
Peebles Hydro’s blend of historic charm and modern luxury makes it a magical setting for cinematic films.
Every moment is filled with beauty, from emotional vows in the Ballroom to lively celebrations on the terrace.
As a Peebles Hydro wedding videographer, I derive joy from preserving these memories and crafting a timeless, heartfelt film that couples will cherish forever. It’s more than a job; it’s storytelling at its finest.
Upon arrival at Peebles Hydro, we captured drone footage of the lush green countryside surrounding the venue. The hotel is proudly situated on 30 acres of Peebles countryside.
We went to Lauren to film the latter stages of her bridal preparations.
It was all go with the girls as the make-up and hairstylists styled Lauren and her fantastic team of bridesmaids.
Claire stayed with Lauren and the girls, filming them as they got ready and enjoyed the morning together.
Jonathon teamed up with Groom Stewart and the boys. Stewart and his best man, brother Chris, were dressed in their own Huntley tartan and looked the part.
The groomsmen were also smartly turned out, wearing kilts from local retailer Graham McGrath.
World champion bagpiper Grant Munro welcomed guests as they arrived for Lauren and Stewart’s big day.
Celebrant Alyson Stewart conducted Lauren and Stewart’s humanist marriage ceremony.
It was a relaxed and fun ceremony made personal by Lauren and Stewart exchanging beautiful vows.
They drank from the quaich or loving cup. Two drinks were combined and could never be separated, a symbolic gesture of Lauren and Stewart’s love and union.
The quaich, an ancient Scottish tradition, was used during clan times to offer hospitality to visitors.
But this was a very wary time. There were two handles, so the guest had to hold the quaich with both hands, which prevented them from drawing a dagger!
In the 16th century, King James VI met and fell in love with Queen Anne of Denmark.
He loved and trusted her people, so he used a solid quaich as a mark of respect and trust.
Lauren and Stewart literally ‘tied the knot’ in a handfasting ceremony.
Handfasting also dates back to clan times, when clan chiefs were granted the right to marry on their grounds by handfasting any couples who approached them.
They would go with two female family members and seek permission. Permission was granted, and the bottoms of their skirts were torn off and wrapped loosely around the couple’s hands.
This is where the phrase “tying the knot” originated.
Yay! They did it! Officially husband and wife, Lauren and Stewart walked down the aisle, surrounded by family and friends.
Guests enjoyed the drinks reception on the venue grounds.
The newlyweds received warm congratulations from all their guests. Such special moments to capture on video.
Claire stayed with guests, catching all the fun at the drinks reception; Jonathon filmed the newlyweds during their photoshoot.
A grand celebration followed for all to enjoy! Emotional speeches, a delicious wedding breakfast and a surprise video message!
Filming Lauren and Stewart’s day as Peebles Hydro wedding videographers was a pleasure!
Peebles Hydro Wedding Videographer FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
Is Peebles Hydro a good venue for wedding videography?
Peebles Hydro is an exceptional venue for wedding films due to its elevated position overlooking the Tweed Valley. As a Scottish Borders wedding videographer, we find the grand Victorian architecture and the ballroom’s natural light create a cinematic “stately home” feel. The combination of the manicured front lawns and the surrounding forest offers a diverse range of backdrops for both grand aerial drone shots and intimate couple portraits.
What are the best locations for wedding photos and film at Peebles Hydro?
For the best visual results, we recommend using the grand staircase for dramatic indoor portraits and the terrace for panoramic views of the Peeblesshire countryside. If you are looking for a more “fairytale” aesthetic, the woodland trails just behind the hotel are ideal for golden-hour filming. You can see examples of how we capture these varied Scottish landscapes in our wedding photography and film portfolio.
How many guests can Peebles Hydro accommodate for a wedding?
Peebles Hydro is one of the most versatile venues in the Borders. It can host large-scale celebrations of up to 450 guests in the grand ballroom, but it also offers smaller suites for intimate gatherings. Whether you are planning a massive party or a small family affair, our photography and videography packages are designed to cover the unique scale of your day without being intrusive.
Can we book a combined wedding photography and videography package?
Yes, most couples who book a wedding at Peebles Hydro prefer a combined team. Booking your wedding photographer and videographer together ensures a consistent visual style and a more relaxed environment, as we work in total harmony. This is particularly helpful during busy Scottish Borders wedding seasons when venue timings are precise. We would love to be your Peebles Hydro wedding videographer and photographer!
Are there other historic wedding venues near Peebles?
If you are still exploring the area, the Scottish Borders is home to several incredible historic sites. While Peebles Hydro offers a classic hotel-spa experience, many couples also look at Barony Castle or Neidpath Castle for a more medieval, fortress-style aesthetic. We have extensive experience filming and photographing at all of these premier Borders locations.
