A Little About Me...

Having filmed over 200 weddings I work on a quality rather than quantity basis and only so many bookings per month to ensure we deliver your final films to you in a timely manner. As I only have limited space available I would always advise to book sooner rather then later. I film from the background and look to give your films a natural vibe, meaning I don't generally give much direction I let your photographer do their thing and just work around them and often get told I am hardly noticed as part of your day.

We Are Something New

Carly gives you a whistle stop tour of who we are and what we do

My cameras look like...err... cameras ! (I mean they are small and we can work discreetly, blending into the background and we often get told I am hardly noticeable) However they along with my high end lenses, have have been put together to give outstanding Film quality. I feel your wedding films are like a time capsule and know that they will become more and more valuable as the years go on so we film and supply all our weddings in 4K ultra high definition as standard to give you beautiful films that will still hold their quality in years to come, (For comparison we all know how VHS looks now). I am a qualified and insured drone pilot and include drone footage at no extra cost, depending on location and weather conditions. I have a relaxed shooting style filming the day as it happens and allow your photographer to get on and do their thing.

*4K has twice the amount of quality than 1080HD

Delivering your Films

I am able to supply your films to you either digitally or by flash drive (USB). On our digital platform you are able to view and download your films. Your films are held online for 10 years and can be viewed and downloaded as many times as you like. You can share the link with your family who can do the same and can be viewed on any device including streaming directly onto your TV, simply search vidflow on your apps on your TV it will be in there somewhere.

Our Flashdrive option gives you 4k files on a USB with presentation box, or choose to have your films digitally and on USB for a £100 upgrade

What you receive from me

For easy sharing and viewing I split the day up into sections, depending what you book with us but typically a full day wedding would be delivered like this and I target to do this within 8-12 weeks of your day

Arrivals

I capture your guests arriving some location footage as well along with your room set up Around 8-9 Minutes long. - If you upgrade to morning Preparations I include this here and can be the bride and her bridal party or the groom and the groomsmen or can jump between the two if getting ready at the same place Around 18/20 Minutes long

Ceremony In Full

Picks up from where the guest arrivals section ends with the wedding party’s entrance and runs constantly for the length of your ceremony to the married couple's exit, edited using different views from the 3-4 cameras and the audio comes from the on person microphones for crystal clear vows – Around 20-60 minutes long.

Photoshoot/Drinks Reception

I follow your photographer and get some great cinematic footage of you both together as well as your family and friends with some drink’s reception, although there is only so much you want to see of aunty Jane and her G&T – Around 8-18 minutes long.

Full Speeches

I cover the full speeches from all speakers and edit using the views of multiple cameras. I would recommend for the sake of all your guests and to make enjoyable viewing I would keep your speeches to around 5-8 minutes per person is advisable – audio again comes from on person microphones - Around 20-60 minutes long.

Full First Dance

After your wedding meal your photographer usually will want to get some more shots, so while your room is getting turned around for your evening guests, I bring out the constant lighting so we can go into the night and shoot alongside your photographer. We then cover your full first dance and then hang around for the first few public dances until we have enough footage to edit and make a montage that I will add in after your first dance together on your final wedding film Around 9-12 minutes long.

Highlights Film

Everyone loves a highlights film

and I do get this to you within 1 week of your ceremony sharing online, and is included as part of your wedding Film collection

Around 6-7 minutes long

Your Film, Your Way

I look to meet up with you both around six weeks before your day and go over what you are looking form your wedding films. Do you want your vows over your highlights ? do you want to focus on some particular parts of your day? this is the time to go over it. I also go over hints and tips and how all the audio works on the day and on your final films giving you the option to get fully involved with how your final films will look and sound.

I am always happy to work along side your chosen photographer allowing them to get on and do their job, while I work around them. However I have a few that work really well with me, click on their logo's to visit their pages

I am Carrie the woman behind the camera. I have been a professional

photographer for 17 years now and photographed my first wedding in 2006

on a beautiful beach in Barbados whilst working on a luxury cruise ship.

I instantly fell in love with weddings after that.

I worked for 10 years at one of Scotland's top studios photographing weddings throughout Glasgow and Lanarkshire and gained a wealth of experience before starting my own company in 2017, the year I also welcomed my beautiful daughter Myla into the world.

I absolutely love my job and put my heart and soul into every wedding I photograph, I feel very lucky to have a job that I am so passionate about.

When I'm not photographing weddings, editing, or being wrapped around Myla's little finger I can be found strumming a guitar and singing out of tune!

My name is Kevin, I live in the south side of Glasgow with my wife who helps out with the business. I’m originally from Ayrshire, which is not too far away from where I live and I love being near the sea and get down to the coast as often as I can. I have two grown up children and my daughter Kate is getting married in a few weeks, so I appreciate how much planning and effort goes in to making your wedding day a success and a happy occasion.

I’ve been involved in wedding photographs for over 7 years and it is what I spend most of my working time doing. There’s always something magical about capturing a special moment at a wedding. I was previously involved in sports photography and the skills I used there means I’m always ready to capture the unexpected.

Wedding photography for me is an exciting and always changing job which I really enjoy being involved in. I love the excitement and atmosphere on a wedding day, everyone is having fun, and making the day so special. It's a privilege being involved and to be a part of your wedding day. I'm a very sociable person and will interact with guests and family so people feel a bit more comfortable with me snapping photos of them.

Please take time to look through my website which contains the information you require, such as the packages I offer with pricing and how to make a booking enquiry. You can also look through my social media and my Facebook page for samples of my work and read reviews from previous clients. I am happy to answer any questions and look forward to helping you and your family to capture those fantastic, once in a lifetime moments from your wedding.

When I’m not taking photographs, I can usually be found out an about walking. From where I live, 40 mins in any direction opens up the coast, Loch Lomond, Stirling as well as some great nearby countryside trails. Glasgow is spoiled for parks which, when time allows, will see us both out on our bikes making the most of the great space around us. The camera is always by my side.

I’ve been in love with photography ever since I was given a camera for my birthday as a 12 year old. There’s something magical about capturing unique moments, whether it be a sunset, a special moment with friends or family or knowing you’ve taken a shot which just captures someone you love perfectly.

I’ve been taking wedding photographs for over 20 years now and it is still very much a passion of mine. I started off my career as a theatre photographer, working for many of Scotland’s leading theatre and opera companies, something I still do. My experience in photographing live performances gives me a unique approach when capturing the many special moments during a wedding day. Some of my work is actually held by the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.

When I’m not taking photographs, I can usually be found ferrying my daughters between dancing, swimming, brownies, violin lessons, parties and various other things. When I get a spare moment, I try and practise a little yoga and meditation!
