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."
