Wedding Videography & Family Photography Stories from Aberdeenshire
The Bit Behind the Lens is where I share more than just finished work. It’s a mix of stories, observations, and behind-the-scenes moments from my life as a wedding videographer and family photographer.
A lot of couples and families come here wondering what to expect, how wedding videography works, or what moments are actually captured in a wedding video or family photoshoot. This blog brings together real experiences and insights from weddings and family sessions across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
You’ll find everything from real wedding experiences and thoughts on what moments to capture in a wedding video, to reflections on family photography and how it fits into everyday life. Some posts are practical, some are more personal, and some are just things I’ve noticed from being there – the kind of moments that don’t always stand out at the time, but often mean something later.
Whether you’re planning your wedding, thinking about a family photoshoot, or just curious about how it all works, this is where I share a bit more about how I approach wedding videography and family photography and what I’ve learned along the way.
It’s all kept real and personal. No perfect scripts, no overthinking it. Just honest reflections, a few behind-the-scenes moments, and the occasional cheeky take – because sometimes that’s where the interesting stuff is.
If you want to see how this looks in practice, you can explore my wedding videography packages and family photography sessions, along with real examples and sneak peeks from recent work.
