Wedding Videographer in Ireland

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 cant tell you enough how happy I am with the video of our wedding we received from Richard. It was way beyond what I had ever expected from the DVD and am absolutely delighted that we asked Richard from Bride & Groom Films to do the job. He was so professional and has given us some beautiful memories that would have been lost if it wasn’t for him. I will recommend him to everyone who is getting married, or infact needs a videographer for any occasion.

Asha & John

Having watched close friends and relatives getting married in the past few years one of the things that always stood out afterwards was the sub standard quality of their wedding DVD. With these concerns foremost in our minds, we approached the selection of our videographer with genuine care. Our minds were completely put at rest by the professionalism of Richard Finlay. Throughout our wedding day we barely noticed he was there and it was this unobtrusive style that most impressed us. His clear yet subtle promptings ensured that he got the most out of his filming work and upon receipt of our wedding DVD we were enthralled by the quality of the finished content which he had edited and compiled so perfectly. Throughout our dealings with Richard we found him to be highly courteous and generally just a nice fellow to do business with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Richard to any prospective bride and groom for their upcoming nuptials. For ease of mind and a top quality professional service there is no need to look any further than Bride and Groom Films.

Hope you had a nice Christmas, all the best for the new year!

Ciara & Alan

Kilshane House wedding video

I e-mailed Richard to thank him for the great job he did on our wedding video and then spoke to him on the phone because I wanted to buy extra copies of our DVD. I offered to leave a testimonial here since I was so happy with his work. I don’t have much to say except that you will not regret it if you choose Richard. He was so nice even before our wedding, very helpful and professional. He was on time all day long, we hardly noticed him and he was still able to produce a top-class video. The highlights at the end of the video made my husband cry (don’t tell him I told you) and that is quite an achievement! The highlights are particularly nice because whenever I don’t feel like watching the entire video, I can re-live the best day of my life in 5 minutes and again I am speechless. I can’t recommend Richard enough to future couples.

Shauna & Matthew

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

Richard I’m just dropping you a quick e-mail to let you know that David and I are so pleased with the wedding video you made for us. We received it months ago when we got back from our honeymoon in Vegas, but we never got back to you to let you know how much we loved it. I have watched it literally about a thousand times since. We had all the family over at Christmas and they loved it too. We will recommend Bride and Groom Films to anyone we know who is getting married in Dublin.

Niamh and David

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!!!

Paul & Donna Marie Byrne

Richard Having looked at the DVD we are THRILLED with the result. It was just amazing and we are delighted that you captured our special day just the way we wanted. We will be recommending you highly. Best of luck for the future.

Helen & Richard
