The Experience —
“We couldn’t recommend Matthew highly enough. From first meeting with him to the very end he was extremely professional and attentive to every detail. What came from that was an absolutely amazing video that captured our wonderful day better than we could ever have imagined.” — Emma & Feargal
My Style
— Timeless, Cinematic, Emotive
You’re only getting married once. This is a very special day that requires a very special piece of art to remember it. I focus on sentimental moments that spark memory and genuine emotion then stitch these together into a flowing cinematic story that feels natural and authentic on every replay.
Where others follow trends, I like to create timeless pieces of art that will be treasured for many years to come. Modern heirlooms for you to enjoy today and pass on to future generations.
My Approach
— Relaxed, Kind, Detail-Oriented
I like to document celebrations as they happen, falling into the flow of the day in order to create cinematic reflections of real memories. Memories you’ll love reliving through my films.
I don’t go in for rigid and awkward poses during your portraits. Instead, I like to keep things light-hearted, have a bit of fun and work quickly, so that you get to spend more time enjoying your wonderful party and beautiful guests.
I know the amount of time, dedication and meticulous planning that will go into styling your wedding. It deserves to be remembered – so in addition to documenting the seamless beauty of the big event, I’ll also make sure to capture all of the little details that display your hard work.

Kind Words
Aoibhinn & Shane
Matthew had us in tears watching our wedding video! He could not have captured the day any better. It is so authentic, funny, loving - everything from the day is caught perfectly - even down to the bustle on the Dublin streets on the day. If you want a high quality wedding video to capture the special day, then we'd recommend using Matthew!
Not only are his professional skills second-to-none, but he was so much fun to have around on the day - professional, discreet, friendly and even joining in in the dancing at the end of the night!
Matthew - we can't thank you enough for creating these stunning memories for us!
Niamh & Seamie
Over a year on from our wedding and we still look back on the video that Matthew created for us and say WOW. Matthew some how captured all aspects of our day and created a video that plays like a film. It is something we will have forever and I would really recommend a meeting with Dear Oliver if you are considering a videographer for your wedding day.
Holly & Rory
Matthew gave us a beautiful, heartwarming, impressionistic video of a jam-packed day. It doesn't feel like a traditional wedding video, but rather like a collection of stirring memories. Matthew creates such beautiful flow, and manages to reflect the narrative of the couple - that's why we booked him and he's been a key recommendation to friends getting married after us.
FAQs

I’m a Dublin-based wedding videographer but happily shoot all over my beautiful home country of Ireland, as well as further afield in Europe. I love to travel and to date, have captured destination weddings films in Scotland and Italy.
-
That’s very kind of you ;)
The first step is simple. Fill in the form on my contact page and tell me all your exciting details – including the date for your big day. I’ll respond with my availability and we can secure your bespoke wedding videography package from there.

Perfect! The benefit of choosing a candid, candid wedding videographer is that posed/staged/fake photos are the exact opposite of what I do :)
Throughout the entire day – and specifically during your couples portraits – I’ll work with you to make sure that you're both comfortable and actually having a lot of fun.
-
Depends on the event! I can usually capture everything we need on my own, but I’ll often recommend a second shooter for larger weddings. The logistics of bigger celebrations can get a little complicated, and a second lens ensures that we’re able to capture the best possible coverage of your day.

Your main wedding video is available in two different lengths – either 4-5 minutes or 8-10 minutes. You can view some examples of my cinematic Irish wedding films in my portfolio.
I also have options for both longer and shorter format videos to compliment your main cinematic film, including 30-minute documentaries, short teaser trailers and full speech videos.
