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.

Thank you again for all your help throughout, it has been a pleasure to deal with you & we were very impressed with the DVD it was great work that had us crying & laughing in equal measures!

Janette

Thank you so much for the DVD. It was fantastic and we are really delighted with it. You captured everything and it was great to look at parts of it that we missed ourselves on the day. I will highly recommend you to anyone in the future that I know getting married. Thank you so much!

Kelly & Chris

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.

Richard, You didn’t disappoint, the videos are excellent! They are the perfect keepsake for our big day. Susan and I are both really looking forward to sharing them with our family and friends. I’m sure you have seen a vimeo traffic spike already as Susanfrantically shared the videos with her friends and family.Thanks again for everything Richard, your work is a complete credit to you and we are extremely thankful we had you capture and then edit our big day for us. I will have no problems recommending you to any friends we have getting married! 🙂Forever grateful, Ciaran and Susan.

Ciaran and Susan

Well i got the dvds and absolutely loved it!!! It was so much better than i expected. everyone loved it thank you so much! I have a few friends getting married next year and i could not recommend you highly enough.

Sandra and Brian

Richard, We just finished watching the DVD (twice). It is absolutely amazing, better than we thought a wedding video could be! I’m glad I changed my mind and got a video made because without it the memories of our big day just wouldn’t be complete. Our photographs were great but just weren’t enough. You got our vows, our family and friends, the speeches, the entire day just expertly edited together. The highlights you put together to our favourite song is just pure artistry. Paul said it was like a real film. Richard thank you so so much, we are proud to show this to everyone we know and to recommend you to everyone in the future.

Laura and Paul Sheridan

Thank you so so much we love the preview and are so excited to see the main video. You are one seriously talented man. Thank you for capturing the amazing moments. I will be in touch shortly. Thank you so much again.

Janice and Barry

Dear Richard, Finally got the nerve up to watch my wedding video and i have to say what an excellent job you made with it. Considering i wasn’t going to have a video i’m so glad my friends talked me into it. Just love the way you captured the days best bits without intruding on people, and kept the video short and to the point. It brought a smile to my face reliving my big day. Many thanx Richard, your truly talented in your work.

Fiona & Liam Flood

Just watched it wow its amazing tears in my eyes looking at it. Thank you so so much. So looking forward to seeing the full dvd. Thank you so much again Richard.

Sheila

Richard, Thank you so much for the dvd. I can’t stop watching it even though I am photograph-phobic!! Every part of the day was captured beautifully and the timing with the music is genius. It is something we will definitely treasure forever. You were really great on the day although I think I met you once and didnt see you until you were going. Will definitely be recommending you to anyone we know getting married. Thanks again.

Claire & Sean

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

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)!
