Scottish Borders wedding videographer – Kerry and Liam’s 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 lovely Dad, George, told us later in the morning how the house used to be his old primary school.
The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, with such a lovely, 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 enjoyed getting ready.
Upstairs, Jonathon filmed Kerry’s beautiful wedding dress by Indiebride and 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 full kilt outfit by Highland Kilt Connections.
He was laid-back and relaxed, and a hip flask was on the go, but we can’t say if that 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, perfectly matching 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 with quite an audience 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 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 surrounding countryside and beyond to the English Border.
Its rich history and romantic, rugged charm make it a unique setting for newlywed photos and videos.
Ideal for intimate shots, the castle’s restored interiors blend medieval character with modern touches, creating an unforgettable setting.
The dramatic backdrop of the crags and expansive views provide 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 took film footage of the small details seen 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.
Home-made wedding favours included bags filled with love-heart-shaped shortbread and miniature bottles holding something sweet and deliciously alcoholic.
Speeches and 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 videographer filming this fabulous day ended as Kerry, Liam, their families, and guests danced to music performed by the live band The Watershed.
What a great ending to a beautiful day of filming as Kerry and Liam’s Scottish Borders videographer.
