Summer Wedding At Scottish Castle Near Glasgow – Elise & Scott
Capturing the Magic of Elise & Scott’s Auchen Castle Wedding
There are some weddings that stay with you forever, and Elise and Scott’s summer celebration at Auchen Castle is definitely one of them. Being their videographer was an honor, a privilege, and above all, a reminder of why I love what I do. Their wedding wasn’t just an event; it was a heartfelt gathering filled with love, laughter, and the kind of moments that make your heart swell.
A Dreamy Summer Setting
July brought a rare treat to Scotland—warm weather kissed the rolling hills, with soft clouds creating the perfect natural light diffuser. Auchen Castle, a grand and historic venue, served as the backdrop for a day that was as laid-back as it was emotionally rich. Elise and Scott had dreamed of an outdoor ceremony at the castle, and their vision came to life in the most beautiful way possible.
That morning was the picture of calm and anticipation, with Elise surrounded by her closest friends and family, sipping champagne and sharing laughs as she got ready. Meanwhile, Scott was off playing a relaxing round of golf with his friends. There was no rushing, no stress—just quiet moments that set the tone for a day of joy and connection.
A Ceremony Straight From the Heart
The outdoor ceremony was nothing short of magical. Under a gorgeous arch adorned with white roses and eucalyptus, Elise and Scott stood hand-in-hand and read their personal vows. It was one of those moments where time seemed to stop. Their words weren’t just poetic—they were truth woven with promises that came straight from the heart.
I remember feeling the weight of what I was capturing in those moments. Their glances, the way Scott reached for Elise’s hand, the joyful faces of family and friends—it was all so deeply personal.
Little Moments That Make Magic
What stood out most about Elise and Scott’s day weren’t the grand gestures but the quiet, intimate moments. Sneaking off with Elise to capture bridal portraits in a tucked-away corner of the castle felt like stepping into a fairytale. There was a playful bit of scheming involved—checking paths to make sure Scott didn’t turn up unexpectedly—and it made those portraits all the more special.
And then, there were the speeches. Scott's words could have made anyone cry, but Elise, leaning casually against a wall, was all smiles and quiet tears. The room was filled with laughter, the occasional sob of emotion, and that indescribable sense of love shared by everyone present.
I’ll never forget the flower girl—a tiny but determined force—grabbing onto the table holding the wedding cake, nearly creating a moment of chaos. It was one of those small moments you look back on and laugh at because it’s so perfectly real.
Love Set to Music and Starlight
Their first dance was unforgettable. It wasn’t just about the two of them dancing—it was the fact that a close friend sang the song that played. That personal touch gave the moment even more weight and intimacy. Their steps were light and easy, reflecting how they approached the entire day—with love, intention, and joy.
Later, we ventured off the beaten path with Elise and Scott for a quiet walk. No one cared about overgrown paths; the beauty of the moment was in their connection. Hand in hand, with the castle behind them and golden hour casting its glow, they felt completely at ease—and it was a privilege to be able to preserve that.
A Videographer’s Gratitude
For me, being part of Elise and Scott’s wedding was more than just a job. It was an opportunity to document a love story that was so vibrant, so full of laughter and meaning. Weddings like theirs remind me of the power of storytelling—how every glance, smile, and moment of vulnerability comes together to create something that will last forever.
Elise and Scott, thank you for letting me capture your day. Your love was palpable not just in the big moments but in the tiniest details—the candid laughs, the loving glances, the way you held each other like the world could wait. Your day wasn’t just memorable for you; it left an imprint on everyone lucky enough to witness it, including me.
