2010 in review and outlook for 2011

So we’ve come to the end of 2010, an ‘eventful’ year both for the country, and for me personally and professionally.
It was a pleasure for Keith Malone Wedding Films to film some really lovely weddings this year, including a few friend’s weddings. It was the year of four seasons, as we had heat-waves, wind, rain, frost, ice and of course more recently snow! I’m already looking forward to next season and from looking at the diary, it’s going to be another busy year. I’ll be closing my books quite soon for 2011 because I strictly limit the number of wedding bookings to ensure that the quality level of my work remains consistently high. See the rest …

Winter Wonderland at the Brooklodge Hotel, Co. Wicklow
Yesterday I had the pleasure of filming Catriona and Aidan’s wedding ceremony at Aughrim church and later their reception at the Brooklodge Hotel, Co. Wicklow.
Just the previous day, Catriona was on Today FM radio with Ray D’Arcy trying to source transport for her trip to and from the church. After a week of snowfall, the local roads had become difficult to drive on and the vintage car that she had booked would not have made it. So rugby player Shane Byrne came to the rescue with his Range Rover and used his 4×4 as the official wedding car for the day!
The entire setting for the wedding was an amazing winter wonderland draped in inches of snow. The church looked amazing as did the Brooklodge. Here are a couple of shots from the day, congratulations Catriona and Aidan! Thanks for a fun day and for being great sports in the snow!

Busy Summer for Wedding Videos, Social Media Wedding Directory
Sorry for the lack of blog posts over the last few months. It is a crazy busy time with shooting and editing weddings. I’m working very hard to keep my editing backlog under control and thankfully, I’m still meeting my 12 week delivery date target. I hope to be uploading more sample wedding video clips over the coming weeks.
If you are a bride planning a wedding, you really should check out www.mrs2be.ie as it is packed with planning tips and advice and a busy yet friendly online Irish wedding community.
In other news, for anyone working in the Irish wedding industry, you may be interested to hear about my new online wedding marketing blog.
