Videographer

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this - apologies if not.

I'm getting wed next year and we've most things booked. However, we went to a wedding a few weeks ago and saw the benefits of having a videographer record the event.

Does anyone know of a videographer who's just starting out and therefore offers cheap rates? We haven't much in the pot for this, so we'd happily take a bit of a risk on a newby.

I know a couple of guys that have recently set up business. Thee is Bill McDonald that I worked alongside for one wedding and he is lovely but I havent seen his work.

There is also wedding-dvd.ie that I used myself and they are very very good. You prob would still be paying 1k at least for them though, not sure of Bills rates.

Don't know of any newbies other than that and those guys both have maybe 2 yrs in the biz. Having said that definitely not something I would really take chances on if you are into your dvd, as a shaky camera and then you'll lose interest in watching it.

I have worked with Bill McDonough and he was very good. I have passed on other work to him and he has delivered everytime.

Wedding videos are being viewed twice. And maybe for the third time after ten years. IMHO waste of money. However that is only my opinion.

Another thumbs up for Bill, very professional!

Yep, the photographer's booked.

I'm based in North Dublin, having the reception in Malahide.

ok
sorry for butting in here
but my experience with video guys has been - not great to be honest!
last wedding i done the video guy was everywhere with something like a 100,00 watt light - totaly fhucking up some great oppertunities, swinging the goddamn light all over and for the most part getting in the way of good shots!! the metering was all over the place because of the light from his cam
the only other thing i'd say about video for weddings is - a story that i know about a Best Man who made a total arse of himself during the toasting to the couple - all caught on video, thats been brought out at at every party he's ever attended since, i'm not a great fan!!
