Wedding Films

Five years of wedding experience. A brand new name.

I've filmed over 100 weddings in the last five years but until now, you'd have seen the work under someone else's name. I've spent half a decade as the person actually holding the camera: catching the early getting-ready shots nobody else sees, finding the right angle for the vows, and keeping up with the chaos of the dance floor.

That experience, the timing, the instinct for a moment that's about to happen, staying calm when the timeline falls apart — doesn't reset just because I'm starting my own studio. I've learned a huge amount working alongside some of Scotland's best wedding videographers, and I'm bringing all of it with me.

What is new is the name. I'm building Prickly Thistle Wedding Films from scratch, which means you'd be one of my first couples booking under my own name. In return, you get founder's attention. I'm not juggling ten other weddings that season, and I'm not handing your day off to a shooter you've never met.

On the Day

From the quiet moments of bridal prep to the joy of your first dance, I'm with you for the whole story of your day.

A wedding day moves faster than anyone expects; the hours you spent planning can blur into a handful of hours that pass in what feels like minutes. That's exactly why having a videographer there from start to finish matters. I capture the nervous excitement of getting ready, the emotion of the ceremony, the laughter at the reception, and the pure joy of watching your closest friends and family dance the night away — so that even the moments you were too busy living to notice fully are there for you to relive, forever.

Why Full Day Coverage Matters

Your wedding day will fly by — it always does. One minute you're getting ready, and the next you're being announced as married. Full-day coverage isn't a luxury, it's essential. Having someone there from the first nervous moments of getting dressed, right through to the dance floor, means nothing gets missed — and nothing has to be remembered "from memory" alone.

With 20 years as a filmmaker and 5 years shooting weddings, I know how a wedding day unfolds — where to be, when to hang back, and how to capture the moments that matter most without ever getting in the way of your day.

Sample Wedding film

Here's an example of the style of video you can expect. Every wedding is different, and my craft keeps evolving with each one I film.

Ceremonies and speeches are filmed from multiple angles, ensuring every moment is captured exactly as it happened. All weddings are filmed in stunning 4K, ensuring crisp, high-quality footage that will stand the test of time.
