Bride & Groom Films – Luxury, Cinematic Wedding Videographer

Richard Finlay is a multi-award-winning wedding videographer. For almost 20 years, Richard has been one of Ireland’s most sought-after full-time wedding videographers, the favorite choice of celebrities and well known personalities at home and abroad, covering weddings from big to small and everything in between. He was recently chosen by Oscar nominee Naomi Sheridan (daughter of filmmaking legend Jim Sheridan) to film her wedding.

The wedding filmmaker of choice for many film and TV industry pros in Ireland, Richard routinely shoots weddings for other industry professionals, which has lead to him working on various films, documentaries and music videos. He started filming weddings when he was 20, using his filmmaking background to give a shot in the arm to the Irish wedding market, which was badly needed at the time. Now 38, he estimates he’s filmed close to 1,000 weddings.

Richard trained in filmmaking at ‘The New York Film Academy’ (widely recognized as the best film school in the world). He was voted ‘Wedding Videographer of the Year’ by the brides and grooms of Ireland in Ireland’s first ever online wedding awards. There was no campaigning for votes on Richard’s behalf in order to receive the nomination. In the same year, he was also shortlisted for ‘Wedding Videographer of the Year’ at the ‘Weddings Online Awards’. Richard was ranked among “the best videographers in the world” by Martin Rhodes of the ‘DV Awards’, when he won two awards including ‘Outstanding Wedding Videography’. This was the first time that an Irish entrant won in the category of ‘Wedding & Event Videography’.

Bride & Groom Films produces wedding films for discerning clients who value a cinematic experience, but who also just want to enjoy their wedding day with no hassle, and without the feeling that a camera is constantly on top of them.

Richard will shoot your wedding discreetly – so you, your loved ones and guests won’t notice him too much as he works. It's very much a fly-on-the-wall shooting style, capturing natural reactions, without having to pose people or ask them to do anything except enjoy the day. For example, when filming around guests, he uses a small mirrorless camera body, so people are generally less "aware" of the camera in this instance.

Couples often comment on how Richard was able to capture the essence of their wedding day, and still remain almost unnoticed (read the reviews left by many of Richard’s happy couples below, or on the ‘Reviews’ page of his website here).

Richard works well with wedding photographers of all styles, and is constantly recommended by them.

"I will shoot your wedding discreetly – so you, your loved ones and guests won’t notice me too much as I work away. It's very much a fly-on-the-wall shooting style, capturing natural reactions, and the “real moments”, without having to pose people or ask them to do anything except enjoy the day. I want to blend in almost as if I'm a guest, and I've cultivated this style over two decades!

For almost 20 years, I've been shooting wedding occasions of all kinds, capturing authentic moments, whether it's in the most beautiful outdoor locations, luxury hotels or a back garden. The great wedding images are found through having a trained intuition for anticipating the moment, in search of the truth and love.

The best images and the greatest moments are captured when the couple and their loved ones are not aware of the camera. Posing and staging has its value and place, but I prefer to be a follower of the action for the most part. I want to quietly observe and find the magic, and not have you pretend. This is about moments being anticipated and discovered, and then captured and preserved for you and future generations.

I want you to look at my work and ask yourself: do those people seem or feel like they're being prompted by me? Or, is it an authentic moment without orchestration, with no or minimal direction? The photojournalist style allows me to capture the authentic spirit and personality of couples and their loved ones, in a way that posed shots never do. The greatness of a wedding is told in motion pictures that are discovered - that will be my mission and intention at your wedding."

I?ve seen wedding videographers at previous weddings and usually it?s a friend of the family who fancies themselves as the next Scorsese or that uncle who once used his go-pro to capture that holiday in Spain. Always the afterthought when all focus is spent on the photographer. But one wedding changed that. I recall a friend?s wedding video that captured all those intimate and special moments and good as the result was, its true value was revealed when less than a year later the bride?s father suddenly passed away. The memory of not just that day but also of her father was preserved in every detail. Not just an image in a book or frame but through video. The magic of that father daughter dance and every smile and laugh that defined him was preserved. I decided there and then that any wedding of my own would preserve everything that was special on the most special of days. To capture the life and the lives that shared it. You never know what the future holds but to my friend her wedding video is among the most precious things and her precious daughter born after the passing of her grandfather will some day know her granddad from the video that captured him walking his own daughter down the aisle and took her hand to dance.
We decided early on in our wedding planning that our focus and budget was better spent on video and not on posed photographs. Everyone present had a phone or camera but none of them had the talent or eye that Richard could bring to the day. When we stumbled upon Richards website and looked at previous weddings we were absolutely blown away. We figured he was a videographer well beyond our reach and budget such was the polish and professionalism demonstrated. In fact, heavy hearted, we had actually booked a cheaper guy, but once Richard got in touch we didn?t hesitate in changing. Sure, he cost more but his end product blew everyone else out of the water. It?s not a video- it?s a cinematic masterpiece! His shots and edits, his choice of tracks, his use of drone footage, his unobtrusive and professional manner. Nothing in his package slipped below expectation. It merely surpasses. Our wedding was small due to venue but having a video that we could send worldwide meant everyone got to share our special day ? there were as many tears of joy shed watching tv screens, phones, and laptops around the world as there were among those who witnessed it and we only have Richard to thank.
Memories will always dull and grow dusty but our video will instantly clear those cobwebs and not just re-tell but relive a very, very special day and all who shared it.
Its value to us, our family, our friends and to our future kids, god willing, will always be priceless and our gratitude to Richard accordingly.
We couldn?t recommend him any more highly. Don?t even bother looking elsewhere- you will not regret it!

Once again, our sincerest thanks,
Mr. & Mrs. John and Danielle O?Loughlin

I recently had the pleasure of working with Richard Finlay from Bride and Groom Films for our wedding at Markree Castle in Sligo, Ireland on October 4, 2023. As a professional film editor myself, I had (ridiculously) high expectations! I did a TON of research into looking for the perfect person for the job, going as far as making spreadsheets of every videographer within a drivable distance and viewing all of their sample videos and websites. I was a bit nervous to entrust someone I had never met in person (we are from the USA) with something as important as my wedding video, but I can confidently say that Richard exceeded my expectations in every way and we are absolutely thrilled with how our videos turned out.

One of the aspects that immediately caught my attention was the range and comprehensiveness of the packages Richard offered. It was evident that he understands the unique needs of each couple, providing options that cater to various preferences and budgets. This flexibility made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We chose his "Quentin Tarantino" package as I wanted to get all the raw files etc in case I wanted to tinker with the edit, however it seems that this was unnecessary as his editing was absolutely beautiful!

Being in the field of editing, I am acutely aware of the balance required to capture genuine, candid moments without intruding on the beauty of the occasion. Richard mastered this art effortlessly. His ability to blend into the background while still capturing the essence of our special day was truly commendable. The result was a collection of stunning, natural shots that beautifully documented the emotions and joy of the day.

Richard's professionalism and patience throughout the entire process were noteworthy. He was attentive to our vision, receptive to our ideas, and his calm demeanor added a sense of ease to the entire wedding day. His dedication to ensuring every detail was captured with precision was truly impressive.

Even after the wedding day, Richard continued to impress. The post-production process was seamless, and the final videos surpassed our expectations. His editing skills brought our memories to life, creating a cinematic masterpiece that we will cherish for a lifetime.

In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Richard Finlay from Bride and Groom Films for anyone seeking a wedding videographer. His professionalism, artistic talent, and genuine passion for his craft set him apart. Thank you, Richard, for capturing the magic of our special day so beautifully.

Richard's approach as our wedding videographer was simply amazing! He seamlessly blended into the day, capturing moments without feeling intrusive. The final wedding video he created is beyond words - it's unreal! His talent for storytelling and editing turned our special day into a cinematic masterpiece. His music choice is amazing, perfectly complementing the emotions of each moment. The attention to detail showcased his dedication to his craft. We couldn't be happier with the result. Richard not only documented our wedding; he preserved the emotions and memories we'll treasure forever. If you want an extraordinary wedding video, Richard is the videographer to choose.

We wanted to thank Richard from Bride & Groom so much for attending our wedding in Lough Eske Castle, Donegal on the 22nd December 2022. From when we reached out initially, his professionalism shone through. He was prompt, polite and clear in his communication. All of this really helped us as we planned our wedding from Australia.

When we were looking for a videographer we knew that we wanted someone who would capture the full story of the day but at the same time blend into the wedding day background to capture everyone in a natural setting. From the early morning Richard did exactly that, we didn't need much interaction throughout the day as the briefing call we had the week of the wedding set the days expectations perfectly. Everything ran extremely smooth and Richard captured everything that we asked for and more. He also worked seamlessly with our photographer Paul McGinty (Ghorm Photography) on the day and he was extremely patient throughout.

Richard delivered amazing cinematic wedding films that were better than we ever anticipated. The editing, video quality and soundtracks were beautiful matched with the emotion and joy of the day. We were impressed at how quickly Richard sent us the teaser film and the final set of films as our wedding was over the Christmas break and we weren't expecting them for another few months. Our friends and family are blown away at the quality of Richard's work and we are extremely fortunate to have what he created for us to rewatch and share for years to come.

If you want a professional, courteous, cinematic, storytelling, fly on the wall videographer then look no further and contact Richard. The information provided on the website (detail is excellent) is exactly what you get when you book Richard.

We couldn?t recommend Richard any more highly to anyone.

Go raibh m?le maith agat!

It has been more than 4 years since we discovered Richard and his work. I remember sitting down with my fianc?e when we were looking for our wedding videographer and knowing he was the man for the job. During that time, we had two postponements and on both occasions Richard was so approachable and understanding. We finally had our day in August '22 and on the day, Richard was a joy to work with. He made everyone feel so at ease while he was doing his thing. There were many comments from our family and friends that you could hardly notice he was there. He was so clear with his directions and easy going with his approach and had a great dynamic with our photographer on the day. We recently received our footage from Richard and what he created for us was beyond what we expected, it is simply stunning. The moments and shots that he captured of both my wife and I and our guests are beautiful, and the end production is simply outstanding. We are beyond happy with what Richard has put together for us, and we feel extremely fortunate to have had him as our videographer on our big day. To boot, he is also a total gentleman and a complete pro. It speaks volumes that one of my best friends booked Richard after I showed her his work, and that Richard had shot my wife's sister's wedding a few years previous, which we were unaware of when we booked him ourselves. Thanks Richard for all of your hard work. We could not recommend him enough.

Having researched Richard's work at length we were absolutely confident that he would deliver a beautiful wedding film but we were blown away when we received the final edited version. His personal touches and flawless editing really captured the day for us. Richard adapts a fly on the wall approach which is absolutely true of his work as we barely noticed him/ his equipment through the day yet the moments he captured were amazing. Richard clearly has a passion for his work and is a nice fella to boot.... We could not recommend Bride & Groom Films more highly!

I got in touch with Richard following a recommendation from my photographer, and I am gald I did. He was a pleasure to work with. He was very good to communicate with during the planning stages of the wedding, he responded quickly to any comments I had, which I found very reassuring.
He was very professional throughout the day, arrived at the house that morning ready to go full of positivity. He was able to work away to get the shots he needed and stood back to capture all the activity of getting ready that morning.
Himself and the photographer know each other and got on very well. They made both myself and the groom laugh and smile a lot during the day which was great for photos/footage.
The families on both sides commented on how great he was and how lovely he was to deal with during the day.
Richard had a great number of packages to choose from and included drone footage which is very nice to have on the wedding day. There are options to suit everyone. We picked a short highlight film and the 1 hour film. We are thrilled with how they turned out.
He got some fantastic shots and didn't make us feel too awkward in front of the camera.

Even the morning after the wedding, we both said we were looking forward to seeing the footage, as the day had passed by so quickly. It is so great to be able to relive the day.
If you are considering getting a videographer for your wedding, I would highly recommend Richard.

I cannot praise him enough for everything he did for us on the day and the footage we now have which will be cherished for years to come.

We received our wedding videos from Richard on Christmas Eve and we were blown away by them! Richard's shot selection is phenomenal and his editing skills are excellent. It was a perfectly finished product when we received each of the videos. We've watched them numerous times with our family and friends and they all love them. His natural approach to capturing the day is really the only way to go. He's not intrusive, but still comes away with the best footage.

Richard was a pleasure and absolute gent to work with on the day. He worked well with our photographer too to capture the day perfectly. We would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for the best possible wedding video. Sound Richard!

We just received our wedding video from Richard and we absolutely love it! We?ve watched it so many times with family and friends and everyone comments on how Richard captured emotion, happiness and fun from the day and put it all together as a story. Asking Richard to record our wedding was one of the best decisions we?ve made. We searched through numerous different videographers and cinematographers and Richards work stood out from the rest. His work is just phenomenal and he is so easy to deal with. He is a delight to have with you throughout the day, he is professional and unobtrusive. Richard offers so much in his packages and we love having the ten minute Signature film to send to our guests. We can?t put into words how well put together our wedding video is. The sound and music is crystal clear from the day and everyone just looked so well. We highly recommend Richard, his turnover time is so fast compared to others, you won?t be disappointed!

We just received our "films" from Richard and they are brilliant!
He produced a short and long film that perfectly captured our day. The quality of the film is amazing. Its so professional but natural all at once.
We were torn about getting a video at all due to small numbers (and camera shy) but am so glad we did now! Small or large wedding, get Richard!
He captured the fun of our small crowd and you hardly knew he was there.
Richard and our photographer worked very well together and we noticed how respectful they were to each other.
Organising and planning with Richard is very easy and he is so obliging with requests.
Thanks Richard for capturing the essence of our day!

We were absolutely delighted with our wedding video. Richard is very genuine and professional, and we barely even noticed he was there on the day (despite there only being small numbers!). He produced a perfect short video to share with friends and a brilliant long video that captured every aspect of our day. Richard also worked very well with our photographer on the day and they were both very easy going, which was what we were looking for. Even before the wedding Richard was brilliant to deal with, even when we had to postpone our original date, he responded to all our queries quickly and put our minds at ease. Richard clearly cares about his work and we cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone looking for a quality videographer for their wedding. You will be in good hands! Thanks a million Richard!!

After booking the celebrant and the venue, the videographer was next on my list as it's so important to me. Richard is a lovely guy, really unobtrusive on the day. The production quality of our video is second to none. We got a short video (about 4 minutes) as well as a long video (about an hour). Due to the COVID restrictions we weren't able to have everyone that we wanted there so the video was even more important. Richard really captured the emotion and beauty of the day, and the video has made some guests who couldn't attend cry! :) It's beautifully paced and carefully edited. Our wedding video is something that we will cherish for years to come, and I am so glad that we were able to book one of the best videographers Ireland has to offer.

We made a last minute decision to have a videographer at our wedding and reached out to Bride & Groom films and could not be happier that we did.

Richard replied quickly and we hit the ground running. From our first phone call I was put at ease that he knew what he was doing and was very easily able to adapt to what we wanted in our wedding.

On the day Richard worked great with both of us and out wedding photographer and blended seamlessly into the crowd while shooting his footage and was really approachable to chat to throughout the day.

The final product was amazing, both our short film and feature film had superb editing and soundtrack and the amount of comments we had about how good our short film was (and how it was like a movie trailer) was amazing. We could not recommend Bride & Groom enough if your considering a videographer for your wedding. If any doubt get in touch and after one phone call with Richard your mind will be put to rest!

Richard filmed our wedding in Wicklow at Brooklodge......he was brilliantly surreptitious throughout so we were completely natural in the film as we didn't even realise he was filming for much of the time!!
We are really chuffed with the resulting short and long films; they are such lovely records to look back on and will be treasured for years to come......
Richard's eye for detail and the time he took was second to none. Thank you Richard, for all your hard work and professionalism! Kay and Paul

Richard was brilliant from start to finish. He has a lovely easygoing warm personality and put us at ease. He worked away in the background on the day and we were absolutely delighted with the quality of his work and all the little important moments he captured that we will always be able to fondly look back on. We were unsure about getting a videographer before the wedding as we had already paid for a photographer. Looking back now, it was the probably the best money we spent. We will always have those special moments. We absolutely love the films (short and long).

Richard did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding video! The drone footage and sound quality was superb. The video is more like a movie than a run of the mill wedding video. Our friends and family love watching it and it never gets old! We will cherish this video forever! Thank you Richard for being so easy to work with and prompt with communication!

Richard's film that he created for us was breathtaking. It perfectly captured our relationship. I had tons of wedding guests say that it was on the best wedding films they've ever seen.

On top of that, he was very flexible with our budget and worked with us in short notice before our big day. His work is something I'll forever cherish!

Our videos are beautifully shot and amazingly well edited. Richard is a complete professional, and the best compliment we can give is that we harldy even noticed him the whole day, he blended in so well and worked very discretely. We have seen so many things that we would have missed otherwise. I?m justified now in my decision as we weren?t going to have a videographer at all.

As I read somewhere else i feel it?s actually the best value for money we spent on the wedding. You really do get what you pay for. We would highly recommend Bride and Groom Films.

Richard did an amazing job of capturing our wedding day. Having a videographer was one of the last, yet, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We chose Richard because of his endless excellent reviews and he did not disappoint! He was so discreet and yet he captured everything without ever being imposing - which was exactly what we were looking for. The quality of the footage and the editing is outstanding, we are delighted with our videos. He is a pro at what he does and I wouldn't hesitate to reccommend him to any future couples. Thanks again for a great job Richard :)

We couldn?t possibly praise Bride & Groom Films enough! Richard is an unbelievably, talented videographer. He is sure to create a unique and personal wedding video to help you relive every second of your big day! My husband and I planned our wedding from the U.S. and Bride & Groom Films created an absolutely stunning video so we can cherish every memory from our fairytale Ireland wedding! Our family & friends can?t stop raving about our beautiful wedding video. Richard, thank you for creating this masterpiece for us. We will cherish these memories forever! We are so grateful that you were able to capture our special day so perfectly.

We put our complete trust in Richard to capture our special day and he didn't disappoint in fact went above and beyond all expections. We felt completely at ease & hardly noticed his presence on the day which is what you want as your already so nervous on the day, so thanks so much for your professionalism, kindness & for all the magical moments that will stay with us forever.

Richard did such a fantastic job filming our wedding day. He managed to capture beautiful moments in an unstaged manner. The drone footage is stunning and we are obsessed with the short feature film. Richard was so lovely to work with and has great communication skills, contacting us a few times prior to the day to ensure we were all on the same page as to what we would like. We are extremely happy with the finished products and can?t recommend Bride & Groom Film enough.

Patience of a Saint !! 1 million percent yes !
Quality, flexibility and phenomenal client service would characterize our experience with Richard! Couldn?t recommend him enough. We love the final product! And due to our own fussiness it took us a while to get there , Richard did not bat an eyelid and changed for us what we wanted, after advice on what would or wouldn?t work and putting up with the constant change. Patience of a Saint ! The main reason we chose Richard in the beginning was after we sent some enquires he rang us to just confirm he had received it and had a quick chat on what we were looking for. You don't get that kind of personal service very often and it was really refreshing. One of the fantastic things also is that his Video looks like a camera so everything was so natural ! I was not keen on having my video online but if anyone wanted to see it please get in contact with me and I will

Richard is an absolute gentleman, from the moment we booked with bride and groom films he was so helpful and always available for any queries. On the day itself, he blended in so well and put ourselves, our families and guests at total ease and he was so discreet that i didnt even see him filming yet he captured every special moment of our wedding and didnt miss a thing. We adore our video and have watched it over and over, it captures the magic of the day and brings us back everytime to how amazing and special our wedding day was. We love it and i cannot thank Richard enough for everything he has done to help us through the whole process. He is a true professional, and on top of that he is friendly and helpful and very skilled at what he does. Many family members and guests said to me how lovely richard is and we could not agree more. You could not ask for a better person to capture your wedding day and thanks to Richard we have memories from our wedding day that will last a lifetime
Thank you Richard so much

Richard was amazing from the moment we contacted him throughout the whole process. We organised the wedding from Australia, so there were plenty of emails back and forth and Skype calls. He was always very prompt in replying and answering all questions. Richard is well worth every penny we spent. Thanks again Richard xxx

After receiving our wedding video, to say we are delighted is an understatement. It's incredible, and due to in no small part to Richards attention to the little things on our day. Capturing everything we asked for and a whole lot more throughout and keeping us both relaxed the whole time.

The music choice on the video is also perfect!

I was so reluctant to have a videographer for our wedding because I usually hate seeing myself in videos. I also didn't want to add unecessary costs to our day. After many family and friends told me I had to get one I booked Richard. I was absolutely blown away by his work. The amount of thought and attention to detail he captures is incredible. He cought every single emotion I felt that day. When he sent us a small clip both my husband and I cried with happiness (he's not usually the emotional type). Our wedding and indeed our memories of our wedding wouldn't be the same had we booked someone else. He is an absolute gentleman with an amazing talent

Richard was great to deal with. He was friendly, approachable and a 'fly on the wall' on the day and our guests were impressed by how unobtrusive he was. He even turned up a half hour early on the morning as I had told him I wanted to leave the house early to visit my grandparents, who couldn't attend. I highly recommend him to any bridal couple for their wedding.

Hi Richard
Thanks a million for sending on the link. Our video actually arrived yesterday so we got to see the whole thing.
We absolutely love it. It?s so great to have as even watching it yesterday it reminded me of things that I had completely forgotten about so I can imagine how glad we will be to have it in 10 or 20 years? time.
You were the consummate professional. Both Paul and I were commenting last night how we never even noticed you were there and that was exactly what we were looking for (no offense!).
We weren?t going to get a video initially but looking at your work now I am so glad that we changed our minds. It is something that we will teaser for years to come and hope to bore our children with!
Thanks again. I shall be recommending you to other people.
Happy Christmas!

The shots are all so amazing and professional ? it actually looks like a movie!

I received the wedding package on Friday and I was truly blown away. You have really done an outstanding job with both days events. My family were so impressed and delighted with the resulting editing and how you pieced it all together. Thank you so much for capturing such stunning footage that will last a lifetime. In particular my Mom was brought to tears of joy as she has had a tough time with her post-operative recovery. It really lifted her spirits, especially because she missed my brother Abbas?s speech on the day and for her to watch it all really meant a lot to her and all of us! My aunts were just over and all really enjoying it.
I absolutely love the editing and footage and I am astonished that you made a movie of such high calibre. I absolutely love the highlights and can?t wait to share it with all our guests who traveled from afar. I will highly recommend you to all my family and friends. You truly did capture every moment and in such a magical way. Thanks again for such an amazing wedding DVD, so many people have been blown away by the result and have said it feels like they are watching a Hollywood movie.

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.

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. Many Thanks

We recently got married and have just got our DVD.
Our videographer was Richard from Bride and Groom films. On the day,and even on the lead up to the wedding he was so nice and friendly and easy to deal with and easy to talk to. On the actual day he was fantastic i never really noticed him, he was very professional and very helpful. I was so nervous thinking about the DVD as i hate video cameras and stuff like that but after watching it, i have to say it was the best money we spent. I could sit and watch it over and over again. After all you spend so much time and money on this day and you put soo much effort into it, its great to have it all captured, especially after coming home after the HM and your on such a downer, its so great to relive it all over again. Also the DVD was just shot so well, its really beautiful and professional.
Richard really did an excellent job, it could'nt of been done better. So if any of you B2B have Richard as your videographer you are in good hands. And if some of you havent decided on your videographer then you should definitely consider Bride and Groom Films, i couldn't recommend them more.

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.

We decided at the last minute on a having a video done professionally and are both so delighted that we did do this. Photographes are lovely but they just don't capture the day the way the video does. Richard just seemed to get all the special little things in the day that we remembered but don't have photographs of and he managed to even add a few suprises to our video which we loved. It has been lovely in the last two weeks to sit down and just look at certain sections again which I think is more a girlie thing but I just adore it.

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.

Richard at one point during our big day I said to Stephen that you didn?t seem to be doing anything. I knew I had made the right choice based on your work but you didn?t seem to be filming a lot, in fact I hardly saw you at all on the day although I knew you were there. When we watched the DVD last week we both just said ?Wow!? There is so much detail and emotion to every section of the DVD. You got all the small things that I didn?t even see on the day myself. Our candle, our cake, the champagne, the head table!!and the details that matter that we never would have been able to see again if it weren?t for the masterpiece you made for us. The quality of the DVD is great, thank you.

Richard of Brides andGroom Films did our wedding video in May and it is our most treasured wedding gift. We watched literally dozens of demo DVDs from other wedding videomen and Richard?s work just stood out as being the most professional (in fact, he was the only option). We don?t regret our decision for one second. Our family and friends commented and said that the video was great. They were expecting the video to be cheesy like most wedding videos, but they all loved it and Richard will be doing my sister?s wedding next year as a result. I can?t put it in words how glad I am that I picked Richard to video my wedding. Bride & Groom Films is the best! Thanks Richard!!

'I cant tell you enough how happy I am with the video of our wedding we recieved 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 wasnt for him. I will recommed him to everyone who is getting married, or infact needs a videographer for any occasion' Asha & John, Clontarf Castle, June 2nd 2007

The video was a last minute thing for us and we are both so glad that we decided on having one and are in agreement that is it probably the best spent money of the entire wedding. Coming home from honeymoon can be a little downer but we have been able to relive our day through Richard's amazing video. We would have no doubt in recommending him to anyone and wish him all the very best in the future.

We just wanted to thank you for filming our wedding last December. We hadn't originally planned on having the day recorded but now we are so happy that we did. You were fantastic on the day and worked so
discreetly we almost didn't notice that all the special moments of our day were being filmed right in front of us. The finished product is just lovely and was very cleverly and tastefully edited with obvious
professionalism. The video is absolutely our most treasured wedding gift and we will keep it always to remind us of our special day.

We would highly recommend your service and would urge anyone who is unsure whether to have a video just to have a look at some of your work and we believe they will instantly change their mind.

We wish you all the very best of luck with Bride & Groom Films although we have no doubt you have a very successful future ahead of you.

With very best wishes

The video is brilliant!! It is better that we could have imagined. We have had all our family to see it and they have loved it just as much. The black and white mixed with the colour frames just made the video. Thank you so much Richard.

We finally watched the wedding film and we are delighted with it. We are so glad that we decided to get the video done. You caught so much of the day that seemed to pass us by, with everything else that was going on. Even himself who wasn't too keen on getting it done is delighted we did and with the outcome.

We had Richard film our wedding and all I can say is WOW! He did such an amazing job that in the few days since we received our DVD my husband and I have watched it at every opportunity. We booked Richard back in 2007 and in the interlude between then and the wedding we never once doubted our choice, he was professional and friendly at every turn. On the day he arrived early and got straight to work taking time only to introduce himself to my family and make acquaintance with our kids, especially our youngest who was quite shy on the day. By the time we were leaving for the church she was his new best friend and smiled and posed happily for him. I have to say that is the last time I noticed Richard until much later in the evening when we were getting ready for dancing, such is his discrete manner. He worked away and was barely noticed even by our guests who remarked at his lovely manner and unobtrusiveness. I can not tell you how much that meant to me as I am one of those people who hates to feel ?on show? when attending a wedding. Now that the DVD is here I can honestly say that I am amazed he was not more noticeable on the day as he didn?t miss one second of the action. There is so much of the day that we missed as Bride and Groom getting photos taken and mixing with our guests but our DVD makes it possible to see our day through the eyes of our guests and really captures the atmosphere of the day. I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone who wants a friendly professional who will do a great job without being in peoples faces on the day! Thank you Richard?you did an amazing job and I look forward to watching our DVD over and over !

Dear Richard
We just wanted to write to thank you for the fantastic job you did on the wedding video! We just watched it again with the whole family and everyone loved it! You really captured some amazing images, seeing all our friends and family again brought back some great memories. It was also great to hear all the speeches again and to know that we will always have a reminder of a day that was so special to us.
Initially we were worried that having a videographer would be a distraction, but you blended in seamlessly, people didn't even realize you were there. We would highly recommend you. Thanks again!

Hi Richard
We received the video yesterday and it is truly lovely crying here remembering a great day and you captured it perfectly. You were a joy to deal with and you kept us so relaxed throughout the day. It meant a lot to us both that we were ourselves and not posed. Thank you for your time and effort.

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. Best wishes
