Hi there, I’m Ger.

Firstly thank you for taking the time to consider me to cover what probably is the most important day of your lives.

You obviously care enough to have this occasion captured and savoured.

Capturing weddings is my specialty. It’s what I do best and every wedding I shoot is treated with the utmost care and personal attention.

My style doesn’t fit into any particular category as I have developed my own unique style throughout the years.   I concentrate on image quality in every shot I use and only the best shots make the cut. My criteria for what makes a shot good is not how good a camera move I do or how great the lens I use is. It’s how you and your people look in the shot. I try to show people in their very best light, in a way that they would want to be shown to future generations to come.

I tell a story of a day that starts out like any other yet finishes up very differently to any one that has gone before it and I aim to allow you to relive that day in an almost dreamlike fashion for the rest your lives. This is my specialty.  
How I approach your special day…

I realise this day is about you and your partner, not me.

I try not to be too obtrusive on the day by using a very discreet approach. My entire aim all day is to let the day flow as it would if I wasn’t there and produce a product that captures the day and tells the story the way you would want it to be told.

Your wedding will be shot using two discreet cinema style cameras, cinematic lenses, and professional audio recording devices. It will be edited carefully and time will be spent in editing to determine the correct angle is chosen at the perfect time. I pride myself on recognising when people are looking their best and I only show people in their very best light.

Feature film Package –

This package is similar to the Deluxe Package in some areas, however the Mass / Ceremony is heavily edited down to approximately 8 minutes in duration with music as a backing track to keep the pace moving (full ceremony also included as additional chapter). Following on from the ceremony is as the Deluxe package and again only the key points made in the speeches are used and the rest of the speeches are available as an additional chapter. The dancing is also heavily
edited into an entertaining montage in this package.

The finished product has a smooth cinematic style flow from start to finish and is approximately 25 mins in duration for the Feature Film with the Ceremony, Greeting Line,  Speeches and Dancing all included as separate chapters.  Price €1950

Available addons for both Packages-

Drone – The use of a Drone for establishing shots of House, Venues and creative aerial shots during photo session of the couple together. Drone use is weather & location permitting. Price €150

Groom Prep. If the bride and groom are getting ready at the same location I cover both preparations at no extra charge. If the bride and groom are getting ready in seperate locations I can offer a visit to grooms house to cover the groom preparations prior to calling to the Brides house. This is done earlier in the day approximately 3 hrs before wedding time. Groom prep is then intercut with Bridal Prep to give a balanced account of both preparations. Price €250

Same Day Edit. Relive the day on the night! Music video created for presentation on the night of your wedding. Please inquire for further information and to check if it is a suitable option for your wedding. Price €450

This film should demonstrate the Editing style of the Ceremony, Speeches & Dancing of the Feature Film. This particular example also involved a Groom Prep as well as a Bridal Prep and the Groom Richard spent some time preparing a letter for the Bride to read. He asked me to deliver the letter to her, which I did but not before I got a recording of him reading it out. Although recording audio is not for everybody I do think it worked nicely in this particular example.
