Luxury, Cinematic Wedding Videographer

There are no second takes on your wedding day. Hiring an experienced and professional wedding videographer to capture the most important day of your lives together is absolutely essential.

For almost 20 years, Richard Finlay has been one of Ireland’s most sought-after full-time wedding videographers, the favorite choice of celebrities and high profile personalities at home and abroad, covering weddings from big to small and everything in between.

As an internationally recognised, multi-award-winning wedding videographer, Richard realises how much preparation and planning goes into a wedding day, and that when the big day finally comes, only the best will do.

When Richard first started creating wedding video films in 2005 at the age of just 21, the Irish market was saturated with old school 80s style “wedding videos”. For such a long time, “wedding videos” had a terrible reputation among the general public. Over the past decade public opinion has shifted to a more favorable view, in large part due to the rising standards of talented and dedicated wedding videographers who are, in reality, creating cinematic wedding video films. Richard was a pioneer of the modern cinematic wedding video film in Ireland at a time when the market needed it the most.

Having lost his beloved wife Carla to cancer at the age of just 32, Richard knows first hand how important it is to be able to have a great wedding video full of amazing memories to cherish forever. Many couples have told Richard throughout the years that their wedding video was actually the best money they spent on their wedding.

Richard will capture all of the flavors and emotions of your big day in an elegant, unobtrusive and cinematic style. His promise to you is that you, your loved ones and guests will hardly know he’s there.

Couples are often stunned by how Richard managed to capture the bigger picture, the essence of their wedding day, and all of the smaller details – the things that they didn’t see happening on the day themselves.

The latest 4K cinema-quality camera and audio equipment is used. Your wedding video film is then professionally edited by Richard, careful to catch all of the intricate details that make up your wedding day.

Your “wedding video” will be a long-lasting, treasured family heirloom for as long as you both live…and for generations to come…

Filming wedding video films in Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare, Meath, Wexford and all around Ireland.

Richard Finlay is the best at what he does. Look no further… Our family is very happy with the wedding films he has made for us… There is Richard, and then there is everybody else…

Could never conceive of getting married but, if I had to, there is nobody I’d want to film it more than Richard Finlay. Smart, insightful and the most erudite voyeur you could ever want, Finlay somehow makes the madness of marriages into mini masterpieces. He’s easy on the eye too so you might want him to stick around for the private filming later too.

I just wanted to let you know that we are really happy with the DVD. The quality and editing is brilliant, we really love it! Thanks very much!

Emma & John

We both consider this the best money we spent on the day. We had Richard Finlay of Bride and Groom Films and he was fab – very unobtrusive on the day, but he still managed to pick up on all the important moments. I think the big difference between having it done professionally and having friends video it for you is in the editing. We watched the DVD over and over when we first got it, and it really brought back all the excitment of the day, and there’s some really cute bits that the best of photographers couldn’t get. I wouldn’t say I watch it as much now, but it’s definitely one of the first things I would rescue if the house were on fire (even before the wedding photo’s)!

What can I say except thank you thank you thank you!!! The wedding video is just amazing. To be honest we were a bit dubious about having a video because we hated the thought of watching ourselves, but you did such a fantastic job that it’s not cringey in the slightest! The shots are all so amazing and professional – it actually looks like a movie! Also all of us are amazed that you managed to capture every detail and important moment on the day without us even noticing you! I’m so so happy with it and will definitely be recommending you to friends!

Richard, thank you so much! We received our wedding DVD. You captured some of the best moments on our day, that we never even got to see until now! Your professional manner was admired by all of our guests, some of which hope to contact you in the near future. Thank you for the life-time memories!!!

Hi Richard We got our DVD on Friday and we all watched it Friday night. It was absolutely fantastic!! We were both really delighted with it, and thanks very much for getting it out to us on time for Dave’s Birthday on Friday. Cheers

Hi Richard, We got our DVD’s yesterday, and watched it (several times!) last night – we are totally thrilled with it…. thank you. Both the quality of filming and editing are fantastic, and you really captured the flavour of the day for us. To be honest, Garrett wasn’t that fussed about getting a video done – he was worried that it would be too obtrusive on the day, and didn’t think he would bother watching it…. but he was the one insisting on reruns of it last night, and he’s already been on the phone to a mate of his recommending you for their forthcoming wedding! We both reckon it was the best money we spent on the wedding. Thank you for doing such a great job, both on the day, and afterwards. We will recommend you to all and sundry.

Erika & Garrett

Hi Richard Just wanted to say that both Brian and I are really delighted with the wedding DVD you did for us. Your professionalism shines throughout as does the unobtrusive manner by which you carry out your work. We really could not be happier and wish you every success in your future endeavors. We certainly would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you to anyone for any occasion that they may want captured forever.

Catherine & Brian

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did on the video! It is such an amazing component of our story together. The video is also so much better than our pictures. Our family and friends are also extremely impressed by the video. It was wonderful working with you and to see the amazing outcome. We also did manage to convince the wedding venue to serve Jameson!

Florence & K-Ming
