Based in Edinburgh, Stag and Doe Weddings is a team of expert videographers who specialize in capturing the true spirit of your wedding day. Their approach is all about telling your unique story through authentic, cinematic films that reflect who you are as a couple. Instead of staged shots, they focus on the real, heartfelt moments—the laughter, tears, and joy—that make your day unforgettable.
Many couples worry about feeling awkward in front of a camera. Stag and Doe Weddings understands this and uses a documentary-style approach to put you at ease. By blending seamlessly into the background and using longer lenses, they capture intimate moments from a distance without interrupting your celebration. Couples and guests often say they barely noticed the videographers, resulting in a wedding film that feels genuine and relaxed.
As seasoned wedding videographers, Stag and Doe Weddings is dedicated to creating a timeless keepsake of your most important day. They capture the movement, dances, and laughter that photos alone can’t, giving you a living memory to cherish forever.
Kirsty and Neil at Pratis Farm (Our first Wedding!) While Natalie & Andy at Dundas castle was like something out of a Disney movie, Kirsty and Neil's day allowed us to capture so much of them in one film, such as the father of the bride accidentally downing a half pint of vodka instead of water (Don't worry, he was fine) and the best groom speech opening line we've heard; "I had hoped I could send this to you all in an email"!
Personal, Unobtrusive, Cinematic, Detailed, Attentive
Our reviews - Our goal is to create something that is about you and your day, and has sentimental value. We make our wedding films for you, not for our showreel, and our reviews reflect that.
Plan for everything, expect at least three things not to go perfect. But thats OK - In fact, those tend to be the most memorable moments.
Megan and Chris at Balbirnie House - With our two camera operators as standard, we film the bride and groom prep, and for the day Chris had prepared a hand made book entitled '10 reasons I can't wait to marry you'. We captured Chris presenting it first to his soon to be in-laws, before they delivered it to Megan, and all the tears that followed.
When a couple is interested in our service they should get in touch and we set up a no obligation meeting, either in person or video chat. We then introduce ourselves and go over everything it is we do and if the couple want to book, they pay their deposit and then their date is booked. Close to the date we get in touch with the other suppliers (Photographer etc.) and arrange a visit to the venue to scout it out beforehand. On the day we arrive at least an hour beforehand and film the entire day until the pre-agreed time with the couple and the film is edited with on average a six week turnaround. Once the couple has approved a watermarked version of the film, the rest of the balance is due and the online, USB and personalised DVD copies are delivered, all in a laser engraved presentation case.
A FLASHMOB! Linsey & Jade are both dance teachers, and Jade had organised a surprise flashmob from their students and it was absolutely stunning!
Green Book - This has quickly become one of my favourite films from Ali's absolutely magnetic performance to Mortenson's magnificent pizza eating skills, I think it's absolutely beautiful with a heartfelt and tactfully delivered message that is especially relevant in today's times.
While we use Artlist so source our copyright free music, I would always love to use music by Bon Iver, particularly 'Holocene' - I think it is a hauntingly beautiful piece of music that compliments any personal moment between couples.
While at college, we decided that we wanted to start our own production company, producing everything from corporate content to music videos. We filmed our first wedding in 2017 and we realised that it was something we loved doing because it was something that had sentimental value and meant something to the couple. Since then, Stag and Doe has become our primary business and we've not looked back!
