Your wedding day goes by in a moment. At Lawlor Video Memories, we’ve spent over 40 years capturing weddings right here in Laois and throughout the surrounding counties, preserving every emotion and special moment naturally as it happens.
With more than 1,500 wedding films produced — from grand estates like Ballyfin Demesne and Castle Durrow to elegant celebrations at The Heritage Killenard — you can trust your local, Portarlington-based videographer to capture your Laois wedding professionally and discreetly, leaving you free to enjoy every moment.
Natural Wedding Videography That Tells Your Story
Relax, Enjoy Your Day. We'll Capture the Rest
The best wedding films aren’t about constantly posing for the camera. They’re about capturing the moments that happen naturally.
The nervous excitement before the ceremony. Your partner’s reaction as you arrive. The laughter during the photographs. The unexpected moments during the speeches. Your family and friends celebrating together.
Whether you’re saying “I do” at Ballyfin Demesne, Castle Durrow, The Heritage Killenard or a marquee in the Laois countryside, we take a relaxed, documentary-style approach to wedding videography, allowing your day to unfold naturally while making sure the important moments are beautifully captured.
Our goal is simple: when you watch your Laois wedding film years from now, we want it to feel like you’re right back there.

Venues
Filming Weddings at Laois Venues
Some of the venues we film at in Laois.
Castle Durrow
A Georgian country house in Durrow with a straight avenue up to the front door and a walled garden behind it. Ceremonies here are often held in the grounds.
The Heritage, Killenard
A larger hotel and golf resort in Killenard, roughly fifteen minutes from us in Portarlington. The function rooms take big guest numbers, and our two-camera setup covers both the speaker and the room during speeches.
Laois is our home county. We have been filming weddings out of Portarlington since 1985, so the churches, hotels and country houses across the county are familiar ground.

We got married in Feb 2019 and used Lawlor Video Memories and found the guys to be very professional and easy going. You captured our day perfectly and we have recommended you so many times to other couples and have passed on our dvd and usb of our wedding for couples to have a look at to see for themselves. Best of luck for the future 💙 Great family business 💙
Danielle Byrne
I used Lawlors for my wedding and then my best friend booked a year later for hers after seeing the amazing job they did with mine. Honestly it was like having family in the house and at the venue. The guys couldn’t have been better throughout the whole process, before during and after. Could not recommend them highly enough!
