Linda & David – Adare Teaser

fast broadband connection of least 3mbs is required to watch this wedding film without experiencing stuttering. slow broadband users are advised to press pause and allow the stream to download/buffer.

Linda and David were married in a beautiful, dual ceremony at Church of Ireland, Adare.  Linda confided in me that, intially, she wasn’t interested in having wedding video but after seeing some of the progressive work that is about nowadays, they decided to go for it.  I’m told they are already fully converted to the power of modern wedding films and I’m confident that, once they seen their own, they will be spreading the word about why video is now a must have for every wedding day!  :)

I love filming weddings in the picturesque village of Adare but this was my first time taking part at a ceremony in the stunning Friary where I was made to feel so, so welcome.  Linda and David are a perfect match and I enjoyed every second of this wedding.

I also got to work with the uber talented Brendan Landy who is easily one of Ireland’s leading wedding photographers; don’t take my word for it, check out his work for yourself. Really nice guy and his passion for weddings after all these years is admirable to say the least.

Another key supplier was the florist – Abbeyfeale Flowers I’ve had the pleasure of working with Abbeyfeale Flowers on a couple of occasions since this event and I must say that their arrangements are just beautiful… if you’re a girl, like :)

Linda and David: Thanks for having me as part of your wedding!

Midnite Cafe at The Matrix

Here’s a blast from the past that I found an old hard drive from the days when High Definition seemed like a faraway dream. It’s a clip that I shot in 2007 single-handed in a Crete niteclub called The Matrix. I was out there filming a wedding video for Damien Greer who is the drummer for a well known Tralee band called Midnite Cafe. Cafe are a great wedding band but these guys have played with legends and I can name Jimmy Page off the top of my head and they have supported Rod Stewart in concert. To say that I was delighted to be asked out to Crete to film a wedding is an understatement and I had a fantastic week in the sun.

A few nights after the wedding Midnite Cafe played a gig in The Matrix and I grabbed the following live set with the very limited equipment that I had to hand at the time. Hope you enjoy the live music video and if you’re looking for a good wedding band who can appeal to all tastes then why not give the guys a call on 086 861 2528 or email midnitecafeband@hotmail.com Telephone: 086 8612528
