The exclusive use Gilmerton House in North Berwick near Edinburgh is surely one of Scotland’s finest wedding venues. At White Balloon Films we find ourselves filming at some extraordinary venues as we really are spoilt when it comes to stunning wedding locations. Emma and Mark celebrated their union in style on a cold but sunny winters day. What more could you ask for from a winter wedding at Gilmerton House. Working alongside the talented and lovely Nick Mailer Photography, we were able to create this dramatic wedding film for our lovely couple!
The sense of history at Borthwick Castle is really quite extraordinary as you arrive at the medieval castle built in 1430 on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Immaculately refurbished for weddings and events, Sarah and Andrew celebrated their marriage here after a beautiful ceremony at St Matthew’s Church. As one of the last weddings White Balloon Films captured in 2018, it was great to finish on such a high for a perfect winter wedding for the lovely couple. It was certainly cold but the clear skies and low evening sun made for some stunning shots. Here is the Borthwick Castle wedding film highlights!
It is hard to overstate how incredible Mount Stuart is as a wedding venue…truly breathtaking. At White Balloon Films we are proud to say that as a recommended supplier for Mount Stuart, we have filmed a few weddings at this magnificent location on the Isle of Bute in Scotland. The magnificence of the architecture, location and the grounds really plays to our strengths as filmmakers, enabling us to tell the story of your day in dramatic and cinematic style, unique to White Balloon Films.
Like many of our couples, American couple Irina and Jon came all the way from the US to celebrate their wedding at Mount Stuart so it was a privilege for White Balloon Films to be invited to capture their memories. When you visit Mount Stuart, it is easy to see why one would fly half way around the world to get married at this wedding venue as Mount Stuart could easily be considered the world’s finest wedding venues or certainly one of. Located on the relatively remote Isle of Bute, it really is a fairytale location for any couples lucky enough to get married there.
It’s a truly beautiful island and with our licensed drone capability and all-round filmmaking skills, no one captures Scotland’s beauty better than White Balloon Films. This film is of course just the wedding highlights. The main event is the feature film which for an wedding can range from 15-25 minutes depending on whether you are by yourselves having a small elopement with no guests or whether you are having a huge wedding with hundreds of guests.
If you have any questions as to how White Balloon Films can help capture your day, please do not hesitate to CONTACT US if you think we can be of assistance on your big day!
It is amazing how many of our couples come from the USA to elope or get married in Scotland. From the magnificence of the Scottish Highlands to the tranquility and romance of the Western Isles, Scotland always provides our American couples with the wedding experience they were looking for. In this instance, our couple came all the way from America to get married at the legendary Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull and White Balloon Films was lucky enough to film their day.
With no guests, this elopement was a beautiful, intimate occasion and so for events like this, it is more important than ever that your photographer and filmmaker keep a low profile. For White Balloon Films at least, our couples can take this as a given. Alina and I are used to working away discretely to capture your day in our tremendously high production value style but with minimum fuss. That is something everyone in our industry would do well to remember, i.e. the day is about you, not the photos or the video.
That being said, watching this film, you can see that when it was appropriate to do so, we captured some stunning shots of our couple on the Isle of Mull. It’s a truly beautiful island and with our licensed drone capability and all-round filmmaking skills, no one captures Scotland’s beauty better than White Balloon Films. This film is of course just the wedding highlights. The main event is the feature film which for a wedding can range from 15-25 minutes depending on whether you are by yourselves having a small elopement with no guests or whether you are having a huge wedding with hundreds of guests.

It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it! Alina and I were lucky enough to be invited by Christina and Gordon to film their wedding in Iceland. An astonishing, dramatic landscape, like the Highlands of Scotland, Iceland is the perfect place for us to put to good use our cinematic wedding filmmaking skills. For Christina and Gordon, the wedding film was always a priority when organising their destination wedding in Iceland and after looking internationally for the perfect videographer, as chance would have it, they found a team who lived just down the road…us!
We spent two days in Iceland capturing an intimate wedding ceremony at the famous Budir Black Church on the first day. The following day, we enjoyed a filmmaking road trip with the couple, returning to the black beaches of Vik, the spot where Gordon proposed to Christina. As you can see in the film, we captured some incredible scenes in Iceland however we were always mindful that it is called a destination wedding for a reason, NOT a destination photoshoot! At White Balloon Films, we capture the emotions of the people during the day. Yes, we love the drama and intensity of our epic wedding cinematography but of equal importance are the small moments amongst the family and friends who attend your destination wedding.
This film is of course just the wedding highlights. The main event is the feature film which for a destination wedding can range from 15-25 minutes depending on whether you are by yourselves having a small elopement with no guests or whether you are having a huge wedding with hundreds of guests. If you have any questions as to how White Balloon Films can help capture your destination wedding, please do not hesitate to CONTACT US if you think we can be of assistance on your big day!
In this little video below, you can also see Alina and I in action in Iceland. Thanks to some 6.30am starts to capture some establishing drone aerial shots before the bad weather came in, we filmed some snippets for our Drone Film Guide YouTube channel. Sometimes it’s nice for you to see the actual people who would be filming your destination wedding and accompanying you abroad so here you can see a little more of us!
Blairquhan Castle in the Scottish Ayrshire countryside is one of our favourite exclusive use castles to film at. The castle was painstakingly renovated a few years back and retains the perfect combination of heritage and history with the need to be a five star wedding venue. Amanda and Duncan’s wedding was stunning. White Balloon Films was enlisted to film not only our regular coverage from guest arrivals until the dancing but also bride and groom preparations at the venue and given that it was the 5th of November, a fireworks display late in the evening. In addition to making the most of our uniquely cinematic wedding videography, professional audio recording capability, lighting and so on, we put to good use our drone to capture some spectacular venue establishing shots and couple shots that you can see in the highlights film.

Exclusive use, Dundas Castle, on the outskirts of Edinburgh is easily one of the finest wedding venues in Scotland and as such, at White Balloon Films we feel very grateful to be one of their officially recommended suppliers. Attracting couples from all over the world, every year we make at least a couple of visits to Dundas Castle, bringing our unique brand of cinematic wedding film making. From the moment we first met Esther and Odhran, we knew they wanted the very best wedding film to share with their family and friends around the world so our rigorous attention to detail, professional audio capture, lighting capability, cinematic filming style and creative editing made White Balloon Films an ideal choice for our lovely couple. Of course, with good weather on their special day we were sure to put to good use our licensed aerial drone capability as you can see in this wedding highlights film.

It would be difficult to overstate just how magnificent Gosford House is as a wedding venue in the outskirts of Edinburgh. As Scotland’s leading wedding videography team, we have been luck enough to film at numerous extraordinary wedding venues and Gosford House is certainly a strong contender for most spectacular! Hosting only a handful of weddings each year, White Balloon Films was lucky enough to bring its brand of cinematic wedding film making to the special day of India and Stuart so we pulled out all the stops to make the most dramatic film we possibly could. It was both a light-hearted and emotional day for the couple, starting with a lovely ceremony at Aberlady Church and finishing with what was clearly a rocking party at Gosford House as we were packing up our bags for the day! Blessed with clear blue skies for most of the day, we were sure to put to good use our licensed aerial drone capability for some spectacular shots. With Gosford House hosting only a few weddings per year, here at White Balloon Films HQ, we will certainly be keeping our fingers crossed that it isn’t too long before we are back again!

Monachyle Mhor is amongst other things, an ultra cool rural wedding venue in Loch Lomond at the foot of Scottish mountains and served as the gorgeous setting for the wedding of Claudia and Scott. The level of attention to detail was extraordinary, all executed in a creative yet sophisticated manner from the flowers to the cake to the decoration in the barn that was just a spectacular venue for the wedding dinner and party. White Balloon Films was tasked with creating our couple’s wedding film, so naturally this involved not only capturing first class wedding cinematography with our cinematic filming style but also capturing professional audio which included a heart warming contribution from Claudia and Scott’s 2 year old son who gave a reading during the wedding ceremony. In addition we were able to put to good use White Balloon Films licensed drone aerial video capability to create some spectacular story-telling shots for the highlights video and feature film.

White Balloon Films first wedding of 2017 was always going be an incredible event thanks to the meticulous organisation of In Good Company Weddings. Lauren & Pranav celebrated not one but two ceremonies and receptions with a Hindu ceremony taking place at the family home one day and a Christian ceremony taking place at Glasgow University the following. With almost 300 guests it really was an extraordinary occasion to be a part of. White Balloon Films was lucky enough to be invited to film both the Hindu wedding videography and the ceremony at Glasgow University chapel in addition to the two mega parties that followed each. There will be lots more to come from us on this wedding but in the meantime, here is a 30 second teaser showing just what a year 2017 has started off like!
