What a team and service

We booked VIP wedding films 3 years before our wedding and the communication on the run up was fantastic from Derek and our messages were always answered promptly. Alejandro is an absolute credit to the team, most of the time you wouldn't even know he was filming! He worked brilliantly along side our photographers and content creator. We received our highlights video a month after our wedding date and there's never a dry eye watching it back it's just absolutely stunning!

Brilliant service - Highly recommend

Derek was a true professional right from the start. Booking was smooth and easy, communication was superb and any questions we had were answered straight away. On the actual day, Derek was superb. You'd never have noticed he was there, blended into the background like one of the guests, exactly as it should be. This didn't compromise the footage as it is fantastic and has captured the essence of the day, fun, joyful and meaningful. Would highly recommend VIP.

Derek is fabulous

Stephen and I had a wonderful wedding day filled with joy, excitement and happiness. Derek was absolutely fantastic and also very discreet but has captured so many wonderful moments that I never knew of. Derek interacted with us throughout the day, explaining what was going to happen and actually giving us the opportunity to make decisions and see if we were ok with certain areas. Absolutely incredible and would highly recommend Derek and his company. Thank-you for everything

Recommend 110%

VIP wedding films are amazing! Derek is so easygoing, very responsive with any queries, had a pre wedding meeting were we just chatted and planned out the day, really down to earth throughout the whole process. On the day itself they just blended into the background and where in no way intrusive or in your face, I actually forgot the cameras where on us at most times so I know this will make for a great video. Great guy and you can tell he is so passionate about everything he does.

We have received our wedding Highlights and its amazing we love it and we cant wait to see our wedding video. We would recommend VIP wedding films to anyone who is looking for a Videographer. Thank you for your service.

Wonderful service

Derek was an outstanding videographer for our wedding day at the Brig o Doon in August this year. His communication beforehand was excellent and really put us at ease. On the day itself he was so unobtrusive that we didn’t even realise he was there much of the time, yet he managed to capture all those genuine special moments that mean so much to us. We received our wedding reel back very quickly and the final video is fantastic.

Brilliant Service from start to finish

Great professional service. Was not 100% sure that a videographer was needed, saw a great offer that was well within budget and offered so much more. Reviews were good so made contact and booked the full package. Great communication and contact from Derek, further information, face time and help with planning as the big day got closer. Had the best relaxed day, no one giving orders or instructions, just a nice natural and friendly experience. Would highly recommend VIP Weddings Scotland.

The best videographer in the business

We can’t recommend Derek enough! From the very first conversation, he took the time to really get to know us as a couple and understand what was most important to us for our wedding day. His communication was always clear, friendly, and professional, which made the whole process feel so easy and personal.Watching our film back felt like reliving the day all over again — every emotion, every smile, every detail was captured perfectly. His editing style has such a special touch. Highly recommend

So glad we booked.

So glad that I found Derek. He made our wedding day complete. The packages that he does are so much value for money and both myself and my husband enjoyed having him on our special day. He put everyone at ease and the preview we got within 24 hours was outstanding. There were tears. He captured everything inc bits we missed and the film film is out of this world

Brilliant service from start to finish.

A huge thank you to Alejandro for capturing the footage of our wedding day. The confetti walk shot in slow motion is fantastic. He captured the highlights we wanted of our guests, it's been great to see bits of the day that we missed. He was very discrete and super professional. Derek has been great in looking after us and keeping us up to date with everything before and after the wedding and we are so thrilled with our wedding film, its beautiful. Thank you so much again,

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

One of my most memorable weddings was a day where everything just felt effortlessly genuine. The couple were completely themselves, their families were full of emotion, and the atmosphere was so relaxed that I almost forgot I was working. Moments unfolded naturally — laughter during the morning prep, a beautifully heartfelt ceremony, and a dance floor that never emptied.

What made it stand out wasn’t anything extravagant, but the feeling in the room. Everyone was present, connected, and fully in the moment, which made capturing the day an absolute joy. Those are the weddings that stay with me — the ones where the emotions are real and the story tells itself.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, candid, relaxed, unobtrusive, timeless.

What about your business are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of the trust couples place in me. There’s something really special about being welcomed into such an important day and knowing they feel completely comfortable with me there. When couples tell me their film feels exactly like their day — the emotions, the atmosphere, the little moments they didn’t even realise I’d captured — that means everything. Creating something that becomes part of their family memories is a privilege I never take lightly.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Give yourselves permission to slow down and be present. The day goes by so quickly, and the moments you’ll treasure most are the ones where you pause, breathe, look around and really take it all in together. Everything else will fall into place, but those little pockets of presence become the memories you hold onto for years.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

One of my favourite personal touches was when a couple wrote handwritten notes to each guest and placed them at their seats. Watching people open them — laughing, crying, hugging — created some of the most beautiful, unscripted moments of the day. It reminded me how powerful small, thoughtful gestures can be, and how they bring out the emotions that make a wedding feel truly personal.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

My process is all about keeping things simple and relaxed. We start with an easy chat — usually a call or message — to get to know each other, hear about your plans, and make sure my approach feels like the right fit for your day. As the wedding gets closer, I check in to go over timings and any details that matter to you, while keeping everything flexible.

On the day itself, I blend into the background and let things unfold naturally, capturing the real moments without interrupting or staging anything. After the wedding, I carefully craft your film in a natural, timeless style that tells the full story of your day. Once everything is ready, you receive your films beautifully presented and ready to relive whenever you like.

What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?

There have been so many over the years, it honestly would be difficult to pinpoint one. We filmed an event once with HRH The King, which was great and also a secret proposal on Greenan Beach in Ayr....... which was lovely to film and see the reaction of the bride to be when the proposal was made.

How do you make couples feel comfortable on camera

I make couples feel comfortable by keeping everything as natural and easy‑going as possible. I don’t ask you to pose or perform — I simply blend into the background and let the day unfold around me. Most of the time, couples forget the cameras are even there. I chat when it feels right, give space when you need it, and focus on capturing genuine moments rather than creating them. That calm, unobtrusive approach helps everyone relax so the film feels real, not staged.

What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?

My favourite soundtrack is always the one that fits your story. I actually choose the music for you — selecting tracks that match the mood, pace and emotion of your day — and then I weave those songs together with the footage to create a film that feels completely true to you both.

Describe how you got into videography.

I got into videography through a love of storytelling and capturing real moments. What started as filming little everyday things — friends, family, travel — slowly grew into a passion for documenting people in a natural, honest way. The first time I filmed a wedding, I realised how meaningful it is to preserve a day filled with emotion, connection and memories people will look back on for years. That feeling never left, and it’s what inspired me to turn this into my career.
