*** IPPVA Videographer of the year 2019 ***

Click to watch some of my work

The work I produce is carefully and artistically thought through and put together in a way that maximises the feeling and emotion of the day. I prefer not to produce work that will result in any temptation towards the fast forward button!

The films I produce are not long marathons. Main films are between 15-20 minutes and short films range from 4-6minutes. I’ve settled on these lengths of films after 11 years in business. I believe them to be the best balance of enjoyable energy while including all the key moments of your day. Full speeches and ceremonies are also available as separate video files.

I will happily send you through my brochure with pricing upon completion of the Contact Form. My pricing reflects the professionalism and experience I bring having grown through 11 years in the business. It reflects the effort, care and work put into the craft.

I operate a tiered pricing system – peak and off-peak. These tiers are set based on a variety of factors. Being available and present with my young family at certain times of the year is very important, as is spreading out my work load across the full 12 months of the year! Have you ever thought about getting married on a Tuesday in February??? Please get in touch so I can price you for your unique wedding day.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I hope you enjoyed my intro video above.  I’m keen to find out more about your story, what brought you together, what fun times you’ve had, the things that drive you nuts about each other.

Here’s a little about me to get us started! I’m married to my beautiful wife Steph with whom I have three beautiful kids – Two boys – Ruan and Jesse, and our newest baby girl – Robyn!

I am truly blessed and don’t half recognise it sometimes – but it’s pretty sweet to live on the North Coast of Ireland with good friends and family nearby!

I’m keen that all my couples get to know the real me, and so I encourage you all to follow me on Instagram. I’m a pretty active Insta Story-teller! Give ‘pigmintfilm_clive’ a follow.

I didn’t get into this line of work just to churn out edits and go through the motions. I want each and every one of my weddings to be creatively produced, and celebrate what marriage is – reminding the couples of the good times they had with their nearest and dearest. I’m looking for couples who share my ambition in this, and will partner with me on your special day as we seek to capture your personalities and love for one another.

I aim to create fast paced, emotional and beautiful films. A clip of guests sharing a giggle – brilliant! A clip of your uncle looking very serious – that might not make the cut. I’m not interested in standing at the sidelines capturing the mundane, I work my butt off all day – always striving to capture the best elements of your big day!  I look for the joy and excitement and (sometimes tears) – and it pulls together so much better in a short film rather than a 2hr DVD.

Much of the day is filmed as it naturally happens. On occasions I’ll maybe ask you to stand in a certain place, or do something in a certain way – if this isn’t your style, just let me know. The couples portraits session is generally run by the photographer on the day, but I will occasionally chime in and ask for a specific movement, a kiss, or a walking shot. My feedback from previous clients has stated that I’m fairly discreet and enjoyable to be around on the day! awww shucks!

Dialogue 

Your Photographer
You have likely not been followed around for an entire day by a photographer and so don’t really know what to expect. Your expectations might be built on family wedding memories – forget all you think you know and really look long and hard to see what’s available. It is a very saturated market ranging in very different styles and abilities.

You are with your photographer for a long day – please make sure they are your kinda people! The key is to feel at ease and laidback for your photos. On that note, knowing your video and photography team are friendly and already familiar with each other can create a fun and relaxed atmosphere from the word go – this will certainly help. Whenever you are feeling relaxed and having fun, you loosen up, and it shows in your photos. You will open up, your posing will become more natural and vulnerable, a good photo/video combo will really capitalise on that, and capture the true emotions in your day.

Some photographers may have a mindset and approach that doesn’t necessarily go hand it hand with my style. I generally like to work with photographers who don’t use flash (unless it’s dark of course) and who allow their poses to breath, let the couple enjoy the moment rather than working too quickly. You aren’t just snuggling because you NEED to get photos done – you are snuggling because snuggling is NICE, and you just got frickin married!

Here are some photographers I know pretty well and there work isn’t half bad either!

There are of course many many photographers in around, and I pretty much have a great time working with whoever I meet!

If you enquire with anyone as a result of my recommendation – sure let them know!
