Elegantly crafted wedding films for modern couples getting married in the Scottish Highlands. A refined, non-obtrusive approach to storytelling — capturing atmosphere, emotion, and every
meaningful detail with intention.

Highlights

Your wedding in the Highlands deserves more than documentation — it deserves artistry. From windswept castle grounds to candlelit receptions, every setting holds a feeling, a rhythm, a story waiting to be preserved with care.

 

I work discreetly and intuitively, allowing moments to unfold naturally. The laughter between friends, the quiet anticipation before you walk down the aisle, the movement of light across the landscape — these are the details that transform a film into something timeless.

 

Whether you are celebrating at an iconic venue such as Ardross Castle, Achnagairn Castle, or within a private estateoverlooking the Highland hills, your story is captured with intention, elegance, and a deep respect for the significance of the day.

What's Included & Pricing

Full Day Wedding Filming Coverage

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.

Full-Day Package Overview

  • Cost: £1,095
    (Includes up to 25 miles travel from Ardross – e.g. Inverness to Dornoch. No VAT applicable.)

    A £100 non-refundable booking fee is required.
    This amount is deducted from the final balance.

  • Balance Payment:
    Due no later than 2 weeks before the wedding.

  • Package Flexibility:
    You can secure your date without finalising details immediately.

DRONE FOOTAGE & STILLS

Aerial shots of some of the venues where I have filmed weddings

The amount of footage that will be used in the finished video will be brief as it only needs a few short sequences of the venue and possibly a fly over the couple after the ceremony and views of guests outside the venue during post ceremony celebrations. Although drone cameras don't record audio for obvious reasons, I record audio from the ground which I later sync with the footage.
 

Gordon Buchanan's A2 CofC Drone operators certificate

Weather permitting, where practical and permitted to do so, aerial drone footage and stills add that extra bit of magic to your wedding video as they capture unique aerial views that traditional cameras can't. It adds a cinematic quality showcasing the beauty of your venue or open location. My full day package includes drone.

WEDDING COUPLES TESTIMONIALS

I am so grateful for the comments from a few couples who’s weddings I’ve had the pleasure of filming  

Kirstie & Shaiful

Gordon thank you so much for being a part of our special day. After George’s (George Reid Photography Alness) recommendation & looking at your Facebook page, we knew we didn’t need to look any further for a videographer. You didn’t disappoint! When watching the video, it brought all the feelings from the day back again & we’ve not been able to stop thinking of it. You’re very talented at what you do & we will definitely recommend you. The video was amazing & we will continue to enjoy these special memories because of you, thank you so much.

Dear Gordon

 

Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. We are truly over the moon with our wedding video & will cherish the amazing memories you captured so beautifully forever.

It was a pleasure to share those moments with you.

All our love,

Mr & Mrs Devine x


Kimbrell and Jesse Coul House Hotel   Contin

Thank you again for everything, you were lovely to work with.. where can I leave a review for you? Also, you should raise your prices. You offered exactly what other people were offering but you were about 1000 pounds cheaper. Obviously I was happy you were so inexpensive, it made it so I was able to afford a videographer and I’m soooo thankful for that. But I think, with the amount of time and effort you put in, especially since you get drone footage as well.. not to mention you are SO kind and personable and likeable…AND you got there so early! I could go on and on about how above and beyond you went. Just a thought. I genuinely just think you are worth more than your prices! I would recommend you to anyone. 

Steve and Louise

We were married last year just when things were starting to open up again but there was still restrictions around weddings.  We were allowed 50 guests and no dancing indoors so totally different to our originally planned wedding and we contemplated cancelling Gordon.  On speaking to Gordon we went through our options and he was very flexible, we are so glad we decided to stick with it!
Gordon was incredible on the day, he had set up a live stream for our family and friends that weren't able to come due to the restrictions. He was so passionate and had great ideas and we were absolutely delighted with the end result.
We would highly recommend Gordon for any event in the future.

Gordon at Struie Media Productions did an amazing job of capturing our day on video. We are so happy to have a feature length video of our day to look back on for years to come, and for those that could not make our wedding due to COVID, they can watch it as if they were there. We have had so many amazing comments and compliments on the highlights video as well, that we now must have watched over 50 times! We have drone footage of the gorgeous Loch Lomond (our wedding venue) as part of our video to look back on, and the small touches that he added to our video and highlights were just incredible.  Gordon was so kind and easy to talk to, and felt like he belonged there on the day. We could not recommend him enough.

Cara & John


After watching highlights of wedding’s Struie Media has covered and recommendations we have had from others we were delighted when Gordon was free to cover our big day.
Gordon was very helpful and professional throughout even calling us before the wedding to go over things that we hadn’t considered to ensure we would get the best video coverage. He told us about the positioning of flowers, to let him know when key things would be happening like giving bridesmaid gifts so he could capture it all for us.
The finished video we received was just like having our wedding day all over again, everything was perfect. All our friends and family have commented on the excellent job Gordon made of our wedding video and enjoyed reliving the precious memories that have been captured.
 

Ayeasha & Rory
 
From meeting Gordon at a local wedding fair to receiving our wedding video we could not fault him.
He had carried out my friends wedding a couple of months before in the same wedding venue we had and seeing his work we knew we had made the right choice by choosing him.

Gordon gave tips on the run up to the wedding and on the wedding day which was much appreciated and needed as you want your wedding day to go without any hiccups and he really did do his very best to ensure this.

He attended my house on the day and made everyone feel at ease. A lot of the time we did not even realise he was there working his magic.

Then at the wedding venue he captured so many special moments from different angles.
The drone he uses is amazing and really does get some amazing views.

Even though he filmed my friends wedding a few months before in the same wedding venue our videos are so different, as he caters to the couple on the day not just a venue.

I would choose Gordon time and time again and would always suggest him to family and friends if they are ever having an event.

Struie media productions are professional, reasonable, friendly and amazing at what he does. The quality of his videos are amazing.

Catriona & Gordon

Gordon at Struie media did an amazing job of our wedding video. We had a small outdoor wedding in Ardross by the side of a small loch and the shots that Gordon captured, particularly with his drone, were stunning. I am so glad we got a video done as well as photographs as it allowed us to look back at moments that we had missed or forgotten in the rush of the day and, with having a small wedding, it allowed other family members and friends who weren’t at the ceremony to see it as well. We would highly recommend anyone planning their wedding no matter how big or small to get a video done by Gordon at Struie media to capture their special day for years to come!
