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’m finished with speeches for the rest of my life so I will keep this short. All I will say is thank you Richard for the surprise of our lives when we returned from our honeymoon. The best day of our lives, to re-live again and again forever. I’ll be proud to show the grandkids. Cheers mate.

Hi Richard, Just want to say that you done a great job producing our wedding video, its been nearly two months since the wedding day and we totally relived it watching the DVD this weekend. Absolutely Brilliant. You captured some brilliant shots but on top of all of that you used some great music to accompany the footage. We will be recoommending you to anyone we know who is getting married in the future.

Mathew & Elaine Elliott

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

Roisin

Well, what can I say, from start to finish & everything in between the DVD is AMAZING!! We cried & laughed. Thank u so much, 100 times better than I ever imagined!

Lorraine & Daniel

Thanks, we are really delighted with the DVD, it’s fantastic to have all those memories captured from the day, you did a great job on getting it all together and on the day, you were very subtle with the camera, I barely noticed you there at all throughout the day. Everyone is really over the moon with it.

Patricia Dilworth

Hi Richard, We got the DVD’s & they are nearly worn out at this stage! Thanks so much for the great job you did, we’re delighted with it. Our only regret was that we should have booked you for longer on the day! The 3 copies were a real surprise so thanks again all the mammies are thrilled! Thanks again for the super job, we’ll certainly reccommend your company to any other couple.

Susan & Garrett

Hi Richard, We received our wedding DVD some time ago now (wedding was in August 07) but we wanted to say thanks-it was great!. We became a little worried a few days after the wedding (when things began to cool down!!), because we began to think of when we actually saw you filming and we began to ask ourselves if you got very much of the Church and reception at all!!!(and you probably know yourself-there’s a lot of so-called professionals out there) But when we got the DVD – it was great. You were there after all!! The DVD was very professional and you inserted the music we gave you at just the right times. It’s something we can enjoy looking at for the rest of our lives.

Simone & Adrian Tierney

If my husband keeps watching this DVD it won’t be there to watch in 20 years!!! That is how fantastic it is even down to the background music. I cried watching it as I loved all songs that Richard chose. It is a fabulous memory to keep forever & I would highly recommend Richard to anyone reading this.

Mairead & Emmet Butler

There are no words for how amazing our wedding Blu-Ray is. Thanks sooooooo much. We love it!

Kate & James

Just want to drop you a line to say thank you so much for all your hard work before, during and after our big day. You managed to capture so many special moments that brought back so many cherished memories. We were blown away by your high standard of professionalism. In fact most of the time we didn’t realise you were there and you made us and our guests feel so much at ease on the day. The editing and the sound track were more then we had hoped for, we have watched it over and over and each time it has brought a tear to our eye, we could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for going over and above our expectations. We are already recommending you to others.

Yvonne & Declan White

We were so pleased with Richard’s work. He was great to deal with and was very professional. We didn’t even notice he was there half the time. He captured every piece of the day. I have watched the DVD many times and still see something I didn’t see the first time. He was able to use some songs we gave him which made the DVD even more special. He produced a high quality DVD that we will be able to watch over and over again. We would highly recommend Richard.
