About Us
For us, family is everything. We love nothing more than watching nostalgic home videos. Memories captured forever. Our own wedding film is part of that cherished collection.
Your wedding film should be timeless and something both you and your friends & family can cherish forever.
That’s what I am all about.
Colin+ Family
You will most often find us outdoors, in the woods, at the Loch or, on the beach. Our children will not wear shoes - barefoot babes in the wild 90% of the time. We enjoy camping trips all over Scotland and enjoy holidays in Crail and Findhorn.
I enjoy listening to music and love to watch a good movie - although often in three or four sittings due to little people keeping me busy. I am a die-hard Lego fan, forever and delighted the boys are becoming dedicated master builders too. Our Lego collection is taking over - much to my wife’s delight! My office is a balance of a place to work and a Lego storage and display facility.
If you are anything like me, being in front of a camera is not your favourite idea, but the thought of having your memories to look back on is. I want you to be relaxed and enjoy your wedding day without the worry of being overly directed, feeling ‘watched’ or being self conscious.
My approach is to be as discreet as possible, so that you and your loved ones can be your true selves, and I can capture the day exactly as it happens. Forget the huge camera setups, big microphones and lights, I take a ‘fly on the wall approach’ using small hand-held cameras to capture and create films which are simply beautiful.
“Colin created a perfect fun and relaxed atmosphere from morning to night.”
“You completely set us at ease. A calm confident energy which really helped us relax on the day.”
“You managed to capture every significant moment without ever being intrusive, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease.”
Why Capercaillie?
When establishing Capercaillie Films back in 2017, I chose the name to honour the capercaillie, a stunning bird native to the Scottish Highlands where I, myself was born and raised. My love of nature and animals, inspired by the storytelling of my all time hero, Sir David Attenborough, has been a passion of mine from a young age, - it was inevitable that my business would be named after an intriguing creature.
Known for its discreet yet striking presence, the capercaillie embodies beauty and simplicity - qualities that resonate in my work as a Scottish wedding videographer. Just as the capercaillie moves gracefully and quietly through its natural habitat, I take pride in my ability to blend into the background, capturing genuine moments without being intrusive. My films focus on documenting the essence of your special day, emphasising authentic emotions and connections. By drawing inspiration from the capercaillie, I honour my Scottish heritage, my love of animals, nature and the outdoors while crafting wedding films that are visually stunning and meaningful, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
“We love showing our film to our friends and family and reliving all the special memories!”
