Fun & Energetic Party Wedding at Cottiers, Glasgow | Erin & Tom | 09.08.2025
Right from the get go, I knew Erin & Tom’s wedding at Cottiers, Glasgow was going to be fun, energetic and full of love. From their laid-back approach in the morning right through to the packed dance floor at night, this was the kind of party wedding in Glasgow that reminds me exactly why I love what I do as a Scottish wedding videographer.
A Laid-Back Couple with Big Smiles
Erin and Tom are the kind of couple you instantly feel at ease around. Fun-loving, fitness-focused, and absolutely besotted with each other (and their dog, who made a cheeky appearance on their wedding cake topper), they brought such a relaxed energy to the day. A day filled with genuine moments, laughter, and a lot of love. For me behind the camera, that made everything flow naturally.
A Ceremony Surrounded by Stained Glass
The ceremony took place in the main hall at Cottiers, with its incredible stained glass windows casting colourful light across the space. It’s one of the things that makes this Glasgow venue so unique – it feels steeped in character, but still warm and intimate. Watching Erin and Tom say their vows in front of those windows was a real highlight of the day.
Afterwards, we took a little time outside in the gardens, giving the newlyweds a chance to enjoy a quiet moment together before the celebrations kicked off.
From First Dance to Full Dance Floor
Their ceremony was beautiful, and their evening reception was pure energy. The space at Cottiers transforms brilliantly for a party, with plenty of room for dancing, which is exactly what everyone did.
With an outfit change from Erin, their entrance to the dance floor was full of fun and affection, and their first dance set the tone for the night. With music from Devotion Weddings (@devotionweddings) keeping the floor buzzing, there were brilliant dance moves, huge smiles, and the kind of atmosphere you only get when everyone is ready to celebrate properly!
Personal Touches & Details
One of my favourite details was their wedding cake – not only beautifully made, but topped with little figures of Erin, Tom, and of course, their beloved dog. It was such a perfect reflection of who they are as a couple: fun, light-hearted, and family-orientated.
The day also came together with the help of some incredible suppliers:

Modern & Relaxed Wedding at The Engine Works, Glasgow | Morna & Dominic | 2025.08.07
Morna and Dominic’s wedding at The Engine Works in Glasgow was a day full of energy, laughter, and family. They’re the kind of couple who make everyone feel welcome. They are fun, down to earth, and family-focused and their wedding reflected that perfectly.
From heartfelt moments during the ceremony to an impromptu conga line later in the evening, it was the perfect mix of relaxed and high-energy, all set against the incredible industrial backdrop of one of Glasgow’s most iconic venues.
A Fun & Family-Focused Couple
Morna and Dominic are a couple who don’t take life too seriously. They love being surrounded by friends and family, and that was clear throughout the day. One of the standout touches was their table decorations. They put so much thought and creativity into making them personal and unique, and they suited the industrial-chic style of The Engine Works perfectly.
The Engine Works, Glasgow Wedding Venue
If you’ve never been, The Engine Works in Glasgow is one of Scotland’s most exciting industrial wedding venues. With its exposed brick walls, flexible open-plan layout, and city-centre location, it’s a dream for couples who want something modern and a little different.
One of my favourite spots to film was in the upper rooms, where we did most of the couple shoot. The space has an amazing atmosphere. It is bright, stylish, and intimate, and it was the perfect backdrop to capture those natural, relaxed moments between Morna and Dominic.
The Wedding Day
The day had a really lovely balance of emotion, fun, and energy:
The ceremony was relaxed, heartfelt, and full of laughter.
The speeches were full of smiles and genuine belly laughs, which were a joy to capture.
The reception had an electric atmosphere. From the brilliant live music to the surprise conga line that broke out on the dance floor, it was impossible not to get swept up in the energy of it all.
Capturing the Day
As with all my weddings, I kept my filming style discreet, relaxed, and natural. Morna and Dominic wanted the day to unfold without fuss, and I loved being able to capture it in a way that felt authentic to them.
A highlight for me was the two couple shoots - a chance to step away from the buzz for a few quiet moments and capture something timeless in the middle of all the fun.
Here’s their Highlights Film, which sums up the atmosphere of their day perfectly:

A Fun-Filled, Sunny Wedding at Errol Park, Perthshire | Jess & Alex | 2025.08.02
Jess and Alex’s wedding at Errol Park was one of those days where everything just fell into place - sunshine, laughter, and such a relaxed atmosphere from start to finish. They’re the kind of couple you instantly warm to - fun-loving, friendly, and always looking out for the people around them.
Their story started during lockdown, when Alex moved in with Jess. They filled those strange, in-between weekend days with cooking projects, sunny runs, and an extremely competitive two-person Scrabble league (yes, just the two of them, and no, I didn’t get find out who holds the trophy).
The Setting — Errol Park’s Timeless Charm
Errol Park is such a beautiful venue. It’s a country house estate with stunning gardens and incredible views over the River Tay. The round stables, where Jess and Alex had their dinner and evening reception, are especially unique - you don’t see a space like that very often. Even better, it is just a short drive from where I live!
The weather was on their side too, which meant they could have so much of the day outdoors: the ceremony on the front lawn, drinks on the back lawn, and plenty of space for guests to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
The Day Unfolds
Preparations took place in the elegant rooms of the main house, before guests gathered outside for a heartfelt humanist ceremony led by Brian Hawkins.
The colours were bright and summery, mostly pinks and oranges, which were perfect in such a beautiful day and the flowers by Laura Kemlo at Flowers by the Brae fitted perfectly with the season. I loved how the table names and decorations had been made by family members; those personal touches always make a day feel that bit more special.
The speeches were definitely a highlight. They had everyone laughing and set the tone for the rest of the evening in the stables, where the celebrations continued well into the night.
Golden Hour Magic
For the couple shoot, Jess and Alex took a quiet stroll through the grounds, including a stop in the walled garden just as the setting sun cast a golden glow over everything. It was a moment of calm and connection before the party kicked in.
Filming the Day
I kept things very natural and discreet, blending in so everyone could just enjoy themselves without feeling like they were on camera. I got a few early drone shots to really show off Errol Park’s setting, and during the couple shoot I used a touch of slow motion to bring out the intimacy of the moment without overdoing it.

A Fun-Filled Wedding at The Engine Works, Glasgow | Lauren & Owain | 2025.07.26
Lauren and Owain’s wedding at The Engine Works was full of everything I love about relaxed wedding days - loads of laughter, a down-to-earth vibe, and a couple who were just clearly enjoying every moment together. It had this really easygoing energy from start to finish, and I felt lucky to be there capturing it all quietly in the background.
What really made the day stand out was how much fun everyone was having - not just the couple, but the whole wedding party. The bridesmaids kept the atmosphere light all day long, and there was this brilliant moment during the confetti toss where everyone got totally involved. It’s that kind of energy that makes a wedding feel alive - the kind of moments that don’t need to be staged, just gently caught on camera as they happen.
Industrial-Chic Meets Modern Romance
The Engine Works is one of those venues that feels a bit like a blank canvas, but in the best possible way. It’s got the industrial look with exposed brick, huge windows, and loads of space. It’s perfect for couples who want something stylish but not overly traditional. For Lauren and Owain, it suited them down to the ground. The venue has this open, relaxed layout that meant everyone could just settle in and enjoy the day without it feeling too formal or structured.
One detail I really liked was their top table. Instead of the usual long setup, they went with something much smaller and more intimate. It’s a little thing, but it made the whole dining space feel a lot more personal and informal.
Despite being right in the city, the canal provides a perfect spot for a quiet couple shoot - which is exactly what Lauren and Owain made the most of.
A Natural, Documentary Feel
My style is always pretty hands-off. I’m there to capture things as they naturally unfold, not to turn the day into a production. And with Lauren and Owain, that approach worked perfectly. They were relaxed in front of the camera, and I think that really comes through in their film.
The couple shoot was one of the quieter parts of the day, and it gave them a chance to just breathe and take it all in. There’s something really nice about those moments - no pressure, just a chance to step away for a bit and enjoy being together. Then, just as quickly, it was back into the fun. The confetti moment especially was a highlight - loads of it flying everywhere, guests laughing and cheering, and the couple right in the middle of it.
There weren’t any huge surprises or dramatic moments, but honestly, that’s what I loved about it - it was a really genuine, happy day
Thoughtful Details & Creative Suppliers
Lauren & Owain kept things stylish but personal. They designed their own table decorations, and thought through every detail - from the flowers to the food. It all felt well-thought-out but never overdone.
Here’s the team of brilliant suppliers that helped bring their vision to life:

Just a Teaser (But They Loved It!)
Just a couple of days after the wedding, I sent Lauren and Owain a wee teaser film - something short and sweet to help them relive the day while it was all still fresh in their minds. I always try to get something out quickly when I can, and they were absolutely delighted with it. It’s such a nice way to start telling the story before the highlights and full film is ready, and it means a lot to know it landed well.

A Sunny, Fun-Filled Farm Wedding at Runningburn in the Scottish Borders | Hannah & Grant | 2025.07.12
Some wedding days are just a joy to be part of from start to finish and Hannah and Grant’s laid-back celebration at Runningburn Farm near Kelso was exactly that. Set in the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders with wall-to-wall sunshine, it was full of laughter, easy moments, and the kind of energy that makes you smile behind the camera.
A Fun, Horse-Loving Couple and a Gorgeous Summer’s Day
Hannah and Grant are both in the world of horses, and it shows in the best way. Hannah even started her wedding day with a ride - something that felt so personal and true to her. It was one of the hottest days I’ve ever filmed in Scotland, with hardly a breath of wind, but the couple and their guests took it all in their stride.
Everything about the day felt easy-going, from the bridal prep to the couple’s carefree attitude. Nothing was too serious, and everyone was simply there to enjoy it. This resulted in a very fun, heartfelt celebration that felt just right for them.
The Wedding at Runningburn Farm, Stichill
Runningburn Farm, just outside Kelso, was the perfect laid-back setting for this kind of day - open space, countryside views, and a really relaxed feel. There was a simple handfasting during the ring exchange, which gave a nice nod to tradition without being overly formal.
I loved filming at Runningburn - it’s such a great spot in the Borders for a relaxed, outdoor wedding, especially when the sun decides to show up!
A Natural, Candid Wedding Film
As a wedding videographer, what stood out most was how much fun Hannah and Grant had together. Nothing staged, nothing stiff - just real moments, genuine connection, and loads of laughter. Their couple shoot was one of my favourite parts of the day to film. You could see how comfortable they were with each other, just enjoying a quiet few minutes away from the crowd. Along with their bridal party, @photographyalexmartin and I had great fun with the couple, bridesmaids and groomsmen to get some really fun images of them having a great carry-on together - this lot were up for anything!
This kind of wedding is why I do what I do. As a candid wedding videographer in Scotland, I’m always looking for the moments you’ll actually want to remember. These are the moments that make filming feel less like work and more like documenting something truly special.
Thoughtful Details and a Great Supplier Team
This wedding was full of little touches and brilliant suppliers that brought the day together so seamlessly. Here are just a few of the lovely folks involved:

Flowers: The Flower Pot

A Beautiful Family Farm Wedding in Fife | Katie & Paul | 2025.07.05
Katie and Paul’s wedding was exactly the kind of day I love to be part of - relaxed, focussed on family, and full of fun. They got married at Katie’s parents’ farm just outside Dalgety Bay in Fife, with the most incredible views over the Firth of Forth and the three bridges.
It was totally unique to them. They took the things they love and incorporated them in to their day. They took the wedding traditions that suited them and let go of the ones that didn’t - a beautiful marquee, stunning wildflowers, food trucks serving their favourite delicious grub, incredible musicians and a whole lot of love poured in by the couple (with help from some brilliant suppliers). After building a life together over many years, they didn’t originally plan to get married, but after having their wee one and getting engaged (with a beautifully planned proposal from Paul), it all came together - and I’m so glad it did.
A Love Story Close to Home
Katie is one of these people whose energy fills the room - friendly, warm, funny and always happy to muck in. Paul is her perfect counterpart: calm, relaxed, and quietly grounded. Their story wasn’t one of years of planning or Pinterest boards. It was real and natural - they had a baby, got engaged, and now here they were, getting married in the most personal of places: her family’s farm surrounded by the people who mean the most to them and their “Big Handsome” St Bernard dog, Foley.
Why a Family Farm Wedding in Scotland Just Works
The setting was the perfect fit for Katie and Paul’s laid-back vibe. The farm sits high on a hill just outside Dalgety Bay in Fife, with views that stretch right across to the Forth bridges. It’s not a wedding venue in the traditional sense - just a family home that turned into something extra special for one day.
Katie organised most of it herself, and everything had that personal, homemade feel. With rustic touches like wooden pallets, a marquee from @bestintentmarquees, florals by @poppyfloraldesign, and food and drink by @pollys_pantry, the day came together beautifully. Guests were properly spoiled on the food front - with Mac & Cheese from @thestockbridgemacandcheeseco, a Hog Roast from @spittingpig, and incredible tacos from Katie and Paul’s favourite local spot @stickman.foodco, who don’t usually cater weddings but (after Katie using her signature charm) made a special exception just for them.
A Windy but Wonderful Wedding Day
The weather kept us guessing - it was dry and mostly sunny, but with a strong wind that never really let up - kept the midges away if noting else! Enough sunshine that everyone could enjoy the beautiful outdoors and stunning views in comfort without the need for extra layers or fans to cool them down - perfect! Luckily, the ceremony was held inside the marquee, and it felt genuinely warm and welcoming, filled with family and special friends.
Capturing Genuine Moments
I had the privilege of both filming and photographing the day, which I love doing - especially when the day is as relaxed and full of heart as this one. Weddings like Katie and Paul’s align so well with what I value: capturing real moments without intrusion. There were kids running about, their lovely dog Foley enjoying the fun, and guests soaking up the laid-back vibe. It felt like what a wedding should feel like.
A Wedding That Felt Like Them
The whole day had such a lovely, relaxed energy. Paul is super laid-back, and Katie was right in the middle of everything, chatting to guests, making sure everyone felt welcome and dancing her heart out! The speeches were a mix of heartfelt and hilarious, and we managed to squeeze in a fun photo dash just before the first dance with the help of @theapollosgroup wedding band.
As someone who films and photographs weddings in Scotland, this kind of day really speaks to me. No stress, no stiff posing - just people having a brilliant time with their favourite folk in a place that means something.

A Day to Remember
Katie and Paul’s wedding wasn’t about perfection - it was about them. About starting this next chapter of their lives surrounded by their favourite people, in a place full of meaning, on a day that felt like home.
If you’re dreaming of a farm wedding in Scotland that feels relaxed, family-first, and totally personal, this is proof that you don’t need a grand venue to have something amazing. Katie and Paul’s day was exactly what a wedding should be - real, joyful, and full of love.
