What a setting for a wedding — Oli & Duncan chose the stunning Carrick Castle Estate wedding venue on the banks of Loch Goil, and it couldn’t have been more perfect for their celebration.

The day began with guests gathering outside overlooking the loch for a ceremony that was both intimate and breathtaking. With the Scottish hills rising in the distance and the water glistening below, it was the most incredible backdrop for vows filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt moments.

After the ceremony, the celebrations flowed straight into a relaxed drinks reception. Guests enjoyed canapés in the sunshine while Oli & Duncan cut their wedding cake on the lawn — a lovely way to keep the energy of the day going before the evening ahead.

One of my favourite moments as their Carrick Castle Estate wedding videographer was jumping into the estate’s 4x4 and heading off for a little adventure with the couple. We explored the private grounds, capturing some incredible footage at the waterfall before heading higher up for panoramic views over the loch. These quiet moments are always so special — giving couples the chance to pause and soak in the day before rejoining the celebrations.

Back at the barn, the energy shifted beautifully into the speeches. Honest, funny, and emotional in equal measure, they had everyone laughing (and more than a few wiping away tears). Then it was onto the ceilidh — and in true Scottish style the dancefloor quickly filled with guests ready to throw themselves into the reels. The barn was alive with music, movement, and pure joy — the perfect finale to an unforgettable day.

From start to finish, Oli & Duncan’s Carrick Castle Estate wedding film is one I’ll always remember for its mix of love, laughter, and incredible Scottish scenery. This venue has everything — lochside views, adventurous photo spots, and a barn that transforms into the most joyful party space.
