Wedding Videography  –  Full Day Coverage

Over the years, and across hundreds of weddings, I’ve refined my wedding packages based on what couples actually want. In reality, couples – or perhaps more accurately, brides-to-be – very rarely ask for less than what’s included below.

That’s why, instead of offering a basic package with optional add-ons that quickly inflate the final price, I provide all-inclusive full-day coverage. This guide outlines the total cost for a standard 11-hour wedding booking at venues within the Dornoch / Inverness area.

For venues outside this area, please refer to the Travel Costs Table to calculate any additional travel charges.
