Filming the Story of Your Wedding Day with Authentic Candid Moments

Wedding videos in Portadown and Armagh in County Armagh tell the story of your big day through audio and video. I also film weddings all over NI, so if you are having your ceremony and reception, contact me for more information and details. One of my favourite cities is Londonderry, as it has the River Foyle. If you’d like to book me in Derry, send me an inquiry.
I thought I’d get behind the camera as a wedding videographer for a quick introduction and say hello to you. Most don’t do this for some reason, but I thought, what the heck? PLAY MY INTRODUCTION

Wedding Videography
I travel all over the province as a wedding videographer, and much of the day is filmed as your day unfolds. I’m interested in incorporating words spoken on the day, which adds some extra depth and emotion. Sometimes, it’s from the ceremony, speeches, a reading, vows or even letters given to each other in the morning.
I don’t have a talented team, but I believe I bring years of experience, creativity, and skill to unique and special wedding films for my clients.
I have a passion for creating modern, cinematic wedding films that capture memories. I am aiming to film cinematically as I’m not interested in filming like on a large camcorder from yesteryear where everything is in focus all the time. My approach to wedding filmmaking is fun, relaxed, and unobtrusive, aiming to provide couples with heartwarming cinematic mementoes.
If you are outside of NI, contact me. Katherine and Damian both live in Australia and wanted to get married and have their reception where the groom was born and raised in NI, so Katherine booked me through email for their wedding video.
I’m the best wedding videographer in Northern Ireland, so stay tuned to the blog. If you're in doubt about whether you should have a wedding video, have a quick read through my blog posts. Thank you for considering me.

Technical Details On Your Wedding Videos
The wedding videos are 4k footage and filmed throughout the day with as much as the ceremony and speeches as I can film saved separately, about two to three hours long (2 - 3 hours). Unfortunately, things can happen while filming your wedding day, so I may need to move myself filming the A camera or move the B camera (which is filming on a tripod).
All audio recordings, i.e. ceremonies, readings and speeches, are synced to video for better superior sound.
A wedding highlights video of your day, which is not long at about eight to fifteen minutes (8 to 15 minutes). This is a creative edit, so sequences and video clips are all out of sequence. This is meant to convey your wedding day, and you can’t condense 2 hours’ worth of footage into a video highlight wedding. I believe the length to be the best balance while including all the key candid moments of your day.
Some DON’T give you all the Video Footage
It sounds dreadful, but some wedding videographers DON’T give you all the video footage for some reason, so be careful who you book. For example, I read a bride mentioning she got her wedding video after waiting a year (which is far too long!), and it is 24 minutes long. It’s not a highlight, and most of the video is covered by music, so you can’t hear the mass or conversations at bridal preparations, about 40% of the speeches are covered, and you can’t hear the band playing the first dance. Maybe they have stated this in their original contract. Yours should have been clear about what you can expect. I include a full ceremony, full speeches, other videos filmed throughout the day and a highlights video in all my packages.
Top Tips
Why you should avoid (most of the time) looking into the lens for video: on the wedding day, it's better not to look into the camera and lens, and I would be more interested in natural movement, something less posed and certainly less static. Wedding footage needs a bit more movement than still images, as I’m filming at 24 fps (frames per second).
What I need
I need footage that has more movement and is less static, which means something like chatting to the bridesmaids, family and guests or doing something, e.g. walking and holding hands, as wedding footage works best when you don’t even know you are being filmed! It looks a bit odd if you smile into the camera as there would be about a 5-second clip filmed, although the odd wee’ glance is perfectly fine and ok. Below is an example that I have produced using footage from the couples’ day with audio recordings linked to the video footage filmed. It’s essential to record audio, as I’ve seen several wedding videographers not record audio, which is completely nuts.

Wedding Videos
Another example showing the highlights that I have produced using footage from the day with audio synced to the video footage for superior sound than if you simply record using the built-in camera microphone, which is pretty much the worst thing you can do. You must book a wedding videographer all day instead of just a part of the day as you’ll miss so much.
I may be available for a last-minute wedding video if you have left it a bit late, as this has happened in the past a couple of times. I was booked by this great couple, and I’m super glad they booked as they received a wedding highlight film along with hours of video footage and audio from bridal prep up to that killer must-have first dance that I’m sure will be cherished for a long time.
I run a video production service, so I’ll provide a breakdown of wedding videos as they contain not just one but several videos, some of which are filmed from certain camera angles that I will be showing you, breaking down and explaining this in the following section. This can, of course, be applied to Ireland, too as I work mostly in NI, I will focus on these examples. Some parts, like the ceremony and speeches, have two cameras recording, my own and another camera on a tripod filming wide, which I call a B camera.
Watch My Wedding Films
Let’s look at a cinematic wedding film. This is a 10-15 minute highlights video with moments from various parts of the day edited together in one clip. This is ideal for sharing online as it is one video as opposed to multiple videos that can be quite time-consuming to watch all of, and not everyone has the time anyway. Feel free to play individual wedding videos from any of these. They don’t focus on one particular part of the day and use audio recording.
What’s My Favourite Wedding Video?
Joanne and Michael’s is my most viewed, closely followed by Linda and Peter’s. You can check out both for yourself in those two links. In addition to highlights, they also got all additional wedding videos, including all footage filmed and audio.
My wedding videos are generally 2-3 hours long. You get a highlights video plus all additional coverage filmed from my two 4 K cameras, which I use at the ceremony and speeches. This is essential as you’ll get coverage from a different angle and perspective. Each video takes a while to craft and is not just cobbled together in no time. Each video takes time and care, telling the story of your day through video and audio. PLAY VIDEO
Screengrabs and video capture from some of my favourite wedding videos in Northern Ireland. I could show dozens of screen captures showcasing the couple’s wedding day, but I have just chosen a select number of captures from each part of the day, enjoy.
This wedding video is from Lusty Beg, as both the ceremony and reception were held here. As you can tell from the screenshots, it was stunning, with plenty of guests in attendance. I filmed from preparations up to the couple’s first dance. What a day!

Why you should book a Wedding Videographer
I’d vote for a videographer for your wedding because you get everything rather than tiny snippets. Video will also stand the test of time. I regret not having a videographer; so many of our friends talk about watching the video or teasers time and time again! I’d recommend it.
Professional audio, lighting, editing, and so much more are not possible with an iPhone or smartphone. Audio is the absolute top priority for vows and speeches.
I got a video done, and it was the best decision we made. The day goes like a whirlwind, and it means you see so much of it, and it's something to have for life. We get a highlight video, which is shorter and able to show people. It gives you the flow of the day and is what people I know who didn't book one regretted.
Wedding Content Creator
I can be booked as a wedding content creator, meaning I film all day with an iPhone Pro in portrait mode. This means all the unedited short video clips can be viewed on socials like Reels and Stories within 48 hours after your day. This is a new service, so enquire asap.
Cinematic Wedding Videographer
I am to be a cinematic wedding videographer, but what does this mean? It has more to do with your 8 to 15-minute highlights wedding film than your actual wedding videos. You need a good quality lens for this as you need to film mostly wide open at f/1.8 aperture, preferably with some movement and with something in the foreground that can be blurred out (which is why filming wide open at f/1.8 is ideal). A basic wedding video just doesn’t cut it, I’m afraid.
It’s not just the way your cinematic wedding film has been filmed, it’s also the way it’s been edited. Basic wedding videographers don’t spend much time editing- very little- which is a shame. On the other hand, cinematographers spend a lot of time in post-production editing to create a more polished cinematic film. There’s quite a big difference.
Wedding Video Service Areas
I film all over NI and the border counties in ROI, and travel does not matter as there are no travel expenses, so if you are up in Carrickfergus or even somewhere in the middle of County Down, I’d love to hear from you.
