Jill & David – The Shelbourne Dublin | Little Bear Films

Jul 3, 2018

You can’t beat a Dublin City wedding and in Jill and Dave I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to shoot this wedding with. Dave started his day with a swim off the 40ft (the lunatic) while Jill and her bridesmaids took to the slightly more comfortable surrounding of the Shelbourne for their prep.

This wedding took place back in May, before Ireland turned into the Sahara desert and in the days leading up to the wedding it rained non stop, the morning of the wedding rain, and the forecast for the rest of the day…you guessed it, rain! But, just as we left the church on St Stephens Green the clouds parted and the sun came out and didn’t stop shining for the rest of the day.

There were so many really lovely moments throughout this day, from seeing Jill’s reaction to the present Dave made for her to some of the best dancing a wedding dance floor has ever seen. We were delighted that Jill and Dave chose Little Bear Films to be their wedding videographer.

Wedding Suppliers

Photographer – Liosa McNamara
Band – Smash Hits
Makeup – Jess Mulpeter
Hair – Lorraine Browne
Dress – Sharon Hoey
Venue – The Shelbourne Dublin

Absolutely outstanding, on all accounts. I couldn’t fault one bit about the service provided by Kevin and the Little Bear team. Not only were the films beyond our expectations, the whole experience of dealing with Little Bear was such a positive experience from the start, and indeed added to the excitement and overall enjoyment of our wedding day.

An incredible ability to capture the essence and emotion of one day in a nut shell. An absolute pleasure to work with, and would highly recommend.
