The Wedding Day Showcase of the year was on Sunday 23rd October 2011 in the Springfield Hotel, I had a stand at the showcase representing Wedding Videography.
I had the pleasure of meeting several couples who were planning there wedding’s, there was a great crowd and any couple who booked their wedding and paid a deposit were entered into a draw for a free wedding in the Springfield Hotel, so, as you can imagine the tensions were high waiting on the result, Congratulations to the winning couple.
The air was electric and all the couples were busy chatting to all the suppliers who were there, all the suppliers were there giving free advice and tips to everyone.
The Springfield Hotel put a lot of work into the day and a big thanks to the banqueting team Barry O’ Sullivan and Kathleen Halbrook for having everything working like clock work, a big thanks also to the owner Ger Hannigan who put up the prize of a free wedding.
The backdrops and chair coverings were stunning and they were done by Fiona from Candle Light Weddings.
There were a lot of suppliers at the Showcase, The Wedding Photographers were Paddy Burke from Burke Photography and Paul Andrews from Paul Andrews Photography and yes myself Cyril Fox from Video Me as the Wedding Videographer.
The wedding bands were John from the On The Upside Band who plays regularly there for weddings and Matt & Ronan from the Boogie Wonderland and outside you had Terry Flanagan showing a lovely selection of Gold Cars and he has now added a silver addition Beauford.

Wedding Video Production and Light
Need Light
Wedding videos have got to be up there in the shooting difficulty stakes. Weddings are full of one off moments of which you only get one chance to capture.
The ‘once in a lifetime’ nature of a wedding swiftly notches up the pressure to capture as much as possible, in as many places as possible, all at the same time. If you think that video cameras can see in the dark well they can but this is exactly what you get dark and uninteresting shots.
Only a professional videographer will know how much light to use to get the right balance without upsetting the decorum of the situation. The wedding video is now a wedding DVD and by its nature can be taken both indoors and outdoors, but indoor shots can be quite dark.
Bad lighting
Well lit
This is also evident with the lighted back drops that are being used more now, a camera has a tendency to hunt for light it occasionally gets it wrong and can make faces dark, as shown in the pictures below.
So when your wedding videographer or photographer insists on some extra light being used, don’t be put off, they tend to know what is required for your images to look best after the fact. You can see below that the introduction of some light has dramatically changed the situation .
You are familiar with a photographer using flash, he needs his flash for a split second in order to get nice crisp pic in the dark, this applies to videography too only video works slightly different in that we have 24 frames per second and as such need constant light whether it be 10 watts or 20.

Wedding Videographer Dublin – Linda and Robert – 15’th October 2011
I was the wedding videographer in Dublin for Linda Gaffney and Robert Ellis last Saturday 15’th October, I started at the
Oblets Church in Inchicore, it is a lovely ornate church and all the more lovely with the stunning flower arrangements done by Elegant Flowers in Swords.
I was at the church when Robert and the lads arrived, they were in great form and eagerly waiting on Linda who arrived in a Gold Regent 1920’s style Regent Landaulette driven by Terry from Gold and Silver Limos.
Father Pat Carolan who was very nice and made the wedding ceremony very intimate and moving and he allowed us to take pictures through out the long ceremony.
The church music was just out of this world and sung beautifully by Joanna Charles, the songs were so touching and the fact that the songs were hand picked by Linda only added to the ceremony.
I was there with Ruth O’ Callaghan from TLC photography she is a great wedding photographer to work with and has a very relaxed approach to her photographs.
On our arrival at Dunboyne Castle we were met by Tom Breen and John Ryan who looked after the couple and their guests and ensured that there was nothing they needed, it all went perfectly.
The weather was lovely as it had been for the last few days and we got some pictures taken in the lovely gardens at Dunboyne Castle.
As for the Band we had none other than the Fabulous Jonnie Be Good who after many years in the trade still have the edge on knowing how to keep the night going and your guest’s feet sore from dancing.
This was the second day in a row I had the pleasure of working in Dunboyne Castle and they were both fantastic days.
Yours sincerely

The weather was fantastic it was more like a summers day then a day in October, when we arrived at the lovely Killashee House Hotel we were met by Una Clifford and her team who looked after the couple and all went perfect. Instead of favours Alma and Leigh chose to make a donation to the Irish Hospice Foundation who supplied the tent cards you see on the tables.
