I simply LOVED this wedding.

Olivia, John, and their family and friends are just the nicest people and there was an electric buzz surrounding this wedding day; maybe it was because the guests arrived to a beautifully presented church, maybe it was the friendly greetings from John and his groomsmen, maybe it was because Archbishop Michael Neary was the celebrant, maybe it was because everyone knew how in love this couple were… or maybe it because of all of these factors put together make a joyous atmosphere.

One thing is for sure… it makes our job very easy.  Elaine and I were still engaged when we filmed this wedding and she was in awe at some of the similarities to our own coming wedding day and I’ve got to be honest, we didn’t want to go home it was such a fabulous event!

I must mention Nelius Buckley, the photographer.  It was our first time working with Nelius and it was an absolute pleasure.  At times, during the ceremony, I had to look really, really hard to find him and I can’t say that too often about photographers.  The man was almost invisible and an expert at keeping the day flowing along.

The reception was held at the stunning Castlemartyr Hotel.  The management and staff here are second to none and filming there was a great experience for us. Great service, nothing is a bother, and the food is to die for.

Truthfully, as I start to edit my way through last summers weddings I’m starting to feel a bit lonesome as this year draws to a close.  I know it’s been a difficult year for all of us and it looks as if tougher times are on the way but revisiting weddings like Olivia and John’s also remind me that the summer of 2010 was a brilliant time where we met fantastic people and created some magical memories…

Thanks for having us, Olivia and John!

Marina Cassidy Wedding Ceremony Music

I’ve always enjoyed Marina Cassidy’s music at weddings… so much so that we are having her perform at our own wedding ceremony in October. The above video was recorded live at Amy O’Reilly’s New Years Eve wedding in 2009. Hope you enjoy it as much as Amy and her guests did!

Wedding Singer Caroline Fraher

Velvetine Studios travel Ireland to make great wedding video films for a limited amount of couples every year and we are lucky enough to make lots of friends along the way, many of whom are other service providers. And every now and again a service provider works their magic and the world seems to stop still for moment and Caroline Fraher’s stunning performance in Dingle last year at Linda & Paul’s beautiful wedding was one of those moments.

Caroline is a Cork based singer and her spellbinding voice can take a wedding ceremony to an entirely new level.
