Why These Questions Matter

Over the years as a wedding videographer in Ireland, couples have asked me many different questions about my services and their wedding day—and honestly, I can’t blame them! After all, you’re usually getting married just once, and it’s essential to get everything right.

Funny and Memorable Moments 😂

One of my favourite stories to share involves a couple who, excitedly but jokingly, asked me what time the next day their wedding film would be delivered. Unfortunately, crafting a beautiful, personalized wedding film takes just a little bit longer than overnight!

Another time, a groom seriously asked if I could Photoshop him to be a bit taller in the video. I had to laugh (in the nicest way possible) and gently explain that while I can work magic with storytelling, I don’t quite have the powers of a wizard! These little moments always make my job even more fun and memorable.
