Wedding at the Springfield Hotel, Leixlip 

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of filming the wedding of a delightful couple: Louise and John-Paul. They tied the knot in St. Mary’s, Maynooth and later celebrated at the Springfield Hotel in Leixlip. Congratulations guys and I hope you have a ball on honeymoon!

The excellent church singer Nikki Kavanagh, accompanied by the talented Ed on keyboards provided the music for the ceremony. I can’t say enough good things about these guys. We end up working on a lot of weddings together and each time they perform, you can hear a pin drop in the congregation. Even later on at the reception, I usually overhear guests still talking about how much they enjoyed listening to them. Well worth checking out Nikki’s website. (She also offers a professional wedding makeup service).

I also worked alongside the creative wedding photographer Alan Mooney. Alan is one of the many photographers whom I have the pleasure of working with from time to time. I enjoy every shoot. He excels at creating a very relaxed buzz to the whole photographic experience, but yet still covers the essentials and of course the candid creative shots. Each bride and groom are always very comfortable around Alan which I personally believe really helps with making great photographs. It also really helps with the videography too!

2009 in Review 

I can hardly believe that it’s almost Christmas again! It’s also that time of the year when we get a chance to reflect on our closing year. Despite the very significant downturn in the Irish economy, 2009 was one of our busiest years yet and our bookings calendar for 2010 is as full now as it always has been for this time of the year. We are happy to note that despite things being financially tighter for couples, they are still not prepared to cut corners on their Wedding DVD and are willing to invest in a high end quality product and service.

2009 saw Keith Malone Wedding Films expanding by taking on additional highly-trained freelance camera operators to help cope with filming demands throughout the year. We also introduced a new multi-camera wedding film package to cater for the high-end wedding market.

Right now, we’re working hard to meet our deadlines for delivering our Autumn weddings in time for Christmas.

Until then, we would like to wish every reader a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for 2010!

An Honour and a Privilege 

I was very pleasantly surprised yesterday when a bride who badly wanted to book me ended up CHANGING HER WEDDING DATE just so I was available to film her wedding! So thanks a million Sinead and Dave, it will be an honour and a privledge to film your wedding when June 2010 comes around.

Discreet Wedding Filming 

We filmed a lovely wedding today in Trinity College Dublin & Barberstown Castle in Co. Kildare. Everything was perfect, the sunshine, the ceremony, the music, the craic  and the food. We even got a little mention from the priest, Fr. Paddy Rushe. It’s always nice when our discretion during the ceremony mass is recognised & appreciated by the celebrant. Fr. Rushe is a friendly welcoming priest who always has something interesting to say! Here’s how it went down:

Lovely gesture from a lovely wedding DVD couple 

Can’t believe it’s been a whole month since my last blog entry! Things have been hectic with filming and editing weddings. (Thankfully given the current state of our economy!)

I had to log on to mention this lovely postcard that I just received in the post. It’s from Aileen and Tom whose wedding I filmed towards the end of last year. They were a great couple to work with because everything on the day was just so chilled and relaxed and there was a great ‘party’ atmosphere at the evening reception in the Grand Hotel, Malahide. Anyway, thanks Aileen and Tom for your very kind gesture and I wish you all the best for the future!
