What makes my wedding filming service stand out from many others is that I not only produce a 10 minute highlights montage from the footage on the day, I also deliver on average a 2 1/2 hour main edit of the important events of the day with a 4 camera operation to capture both the ceremony and speeches throughout in realtime without having to sacrafice crucial moments due to camera movement or sudden obstructions. The dancing is filmed with usually 2 -3 cameras depending on suitable space. One of the cameras for the dancing is mounted on a camera crane to get good clearance from all surrounding guests. STABLE / SMOOTH FOOTAGE All roaming footage is captured using a state of the art electronic gimbal (camera stabilising system) Keeping the footage pleasing on the eye to watch. SEE FOR YOURSELF You only need to preview some or lots of my wedding highlight videos either from this site or my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/StruieWeddingFilms/ and read some of the comment from clients or viewers opinions and reviews: https://www.facebook.com/pg/StruieWeddingFilms/reviews/

In this post, I'll be highlighting some essential insights about when planning your wedding ceremony layout or being shown the options from a venue or planner, this will be from a videographer's perspective, as you’d expect from me. It’s covers the need for adequate space to be made available where possible.  I am used to working in very large and very small venues so have encountered the challenges that are often not taken on board when explained in advance. The limitation on space to accommodate all who are going to be sharing it is often underestimated. the challenges I face when positioning my stationary camera, and most importantly, why clear communication with your venue and setup team is absolutely critical. Whether you're a bride-to-be, wedding planner, or fellow vendor, understanding these spacing requirements will help ensure every precious moment is captured beautifully on your special day. When it comes to capturing your wedding ceremony, one of the most overlooked yet crucial elements is the physical layout and spacing of your ceremony area. As a videographer, I cannot stress enough how important it is to plan adequate space for everyone who will be positioned at the front of the venue. Kingsmills Hotel Inverness (Above) Who Needs Space at the Front? Consider all the people who will need to be positioned in front of the first row of guest seating: The couple (bride and groom) The officiant All bridesmaids All groomsmen The videographer and camera tripod The photographer With so many people in the ceremony space, proper planning becomes essential for capturing beautiful, unobstructed footage. The Stationary Camera Challenge As a videographer, I use a stationary camera on a tripod that faces primarily towards the bride during the ceremony. This camera captures those precious emotional moments and reactions. However, without adequate space, several problems can occur: Best men or groomsmen standing directly in front of the camera, blocking the shot The couple positioned too close to the officiant or large flowers/decorative trees etc. , forcing an awkward camera angle. Footage that mainly shows the back of the groom's head instead of both faces The bride's face partially or fully obscured in the final video Loch Ness Country House Hotel - Inverness (Above) Communicate with Your Venue and Setup Team This is why it's absolutely vital to communicate with your venue coordinator or whoever is setting up the ceremony space. They need to account for proper spacing when arranging: Guest seating rows – the front row should be far enough back The wedding arch or altar placement Decorative trees or greenery Floral arrangements and other decorations Where the bridal party will stand What Side of the Aisle? This is a question I deliberately wait to ask on the day of the wedding. The reason for leaving it to then is incase there have been any changes since. To The Bride    “ What side of the aisle will you be walking up and when at the top, will you be staying on that side” ? I need to know this in advance to know which side my tripod stand needs to go in order to be facing primarily towards the bride although both bride and groom will be seen well throughout the ceremony  if not standing too close to the officiant which can result in the camera view seeing the side of the officiant’s head and shoulders, blocking the view of the bride’s face. If the bride has told me that she will be walking on the left (which is the norm.) and it ends up changing at the time to the right, The camera on the tripod will then not mainly  be viewing the bride, as it will be on the opposite side. This happened recently which I had to move the tripod and reposition it literally seconds before the bridal party were coming in. ‘Stressfull’   Key Takeaways for Perfect Ceremony Footage To ensure your ceremony is captured beautifully: Distance and time dependant, try and schedule a venue walkthrough with your videographer before the wedding Discuss camera placement requirements with the setup team Ensure the distance front row of seats are set back enough to allows sufficient space for the entire bridal party plus vendors in front of them Eg. this could be;         4 or 5 Bridesmaids 2 or 3 Groomsmen Officiant Musician Videographer Photographer The Couple It’s a lot of bods for what is usually a small area. Layout and placements of seats to fit in your number required, will be limited in many venues, This goes into the ‘Suitable choice and size of venue’  topic, but space allowing, it’s down to communicating this with whoever will be arranging seating. Plan where the groomsmen will stand so they don't block camera angles Consider the position of decorative elements that could obstruct views Remember, your wedding video is a lifelong keepsake. Taking the time to properly plan the ceremony layout will ensure that every precious moment is captured clearly, with beautiful shots of both the bride and groom throughout the entire ceremony. Remember I work with multi cameras so I can work around these limitations to an extent, but there have been times where if I had a good clear view with all camera’s It would have made such a huge difference in the main edit and highlights and reels.

A venue that as a highland wedding videographer I have enjoyed filming there for many years. Nestled on the outskirts of Inverness within the breathtaking Scottish Highlands, Loch Ness Country House Hotel holds a special place in my heart as a venue where I've captured countless wedding moments throughout the years. It consistently ranks among my top choices, and the reasons are abundant. The hotel's location, when blessed with the right weather, is nothing short of spectacular. It boasts a charm that's hard to rival. In terms of size, it strikes the perfect balance for most weddings, creating an ideal, intimate atmosphere for guests. What truly sets this place apart, though, is its dedicated staff. Some of them have been a part of the hotel's journey for nearly as long as I've been filming weddings. Their unfaltering dedication, helpfulness, and friendliness remain unwavering, even during the busiest of times. As a highland wedding videographer this makes the working day even more enjoyable. Moreover, the culinary offerings at Loch Ness Country House Hotel consistently impress. The food is always of the highest standard, and it's something I eagerly anticipate when working at this remarkable venue. #LochNessCountryHouseHotel #highlandweddingvideographer #invernessweddingvideographer #highlandweddingvideographer #highlandweddingvenue

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. Highland Archive and Registration Centre Inverness nan 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. Kincraig Castle Hotel Invergordon Samantha & Aaron Yuille 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. Loch Lomond 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. Kincraig Castle Hotel Invergordon 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!

Built as a grand gathering space for visitors and residents alike, the Pavilion quickly became known for hosting live music, dances, orchestral performances, and touring acts.

Today, Strathpeffer Pavilion is widely recognised as one of the Highlands’ most characterful music venues, regularly welcoming bands, solo artists, concerts, gigs, festivals, and cultural events.

A professionally produced property video combines cinematic interior footage, smooth walkthrough sequences, aerial drone footage (where permitted), and high-quality still photography to present the space clearly and attractively. Including both drone imagery and general stills helps buyers or guests understand the location, setting, and layout at a glance, while a short, stylish virtual tour allows viewers to experience the flow of the property online before visiting in person. This type of visual marketing not only makes listings stand out on websites, booking platforms, and social media, but can also help generate more enquiries and faster bookings compared to using photos alone. Produced for Forestry and Land Scotland The Dalchork Land Management Project is part of Forestry and Land Scotland’s work to care for and manage the national forests in North Sutherland. The project looks at how this land can be managed responsibly over the coming years — supporting timber production, protecting wildlife, restoring important habitats, and improving the forest for future generations. Some areas of forest will be harvested and replanted, while other work focuses on restoring peatland, protecting rivers and streams, and improving biodiversity. Deer management and forest planning also help ensure the landscape stays healthy and resilient to climate change. The overall aim is to balance forestry, conservation, and community benefit, ensuring the land continues to provide environmental, economic, and social value for years to come.
