My name is Craig, and I’m a hopeless romantic. My wife and I have a belter of a meet-cute: actual high school penpals who got married!

My wife Rachael and I met on holiday when I was fourteen. It was long before the days of mobile phones, so we kept in touch and got to know each other as legit old-school penpals, until we were old enough to get cross-country trains to meet up and snog each other. You can see some of the letters - and comic strips! - that we wrote for each other below. And - hey! My penmanship obviously did the job; today, we’ve been together for more than two decades, and we’re raising a lovely wee family - two boys, Robin and Callan - in my hometown of Carnoustie.

I think wedding films should be personal, and specific. I’m not into signature shots, and I don’t approach any two weddings the same.

I’ve spent my adult life around weddings (check out my wedding band Franco!) and so I feel very much at home in this world. A wedding film is the only time that most of us commission a bespoke piece of film that documents a bit of our lives, or that tells a story about ourselves and our family and friends. So I’m obsessed with storytelling, and with the detail of editing, because those are the tools I can use to make something that really represents your day.

KIND WORDS

“Craig we’ve just spent the evening watching all the videos and sobbing (all happy tears!!) all over again -  thank you for capturing our wedding so beautifully! We’ve just been saying to each other how happy we are to have chosen you!”
