Our Inspiration

Our story begins with this photo. The Queen Mary crosses the Atlantic carrying travelers from Belfast to New York. My grandmother, Margaret Eileen Bailey, a passenger, is looking to begin a new life. After her arrival, the story is a little fuzzy; over the years, my family has found it difficult to recall how she and my grandfather met. From what we remember, it was love at first sight, they met by chance, and that moment has brought my family and me to where we are today. Their love was destiny.

Sadly, Margaret had to return to Ireland shortly after her arrival. Before leaving, she tells my grandfather, Allen, they will be together again. Two agonizing months pass. Margaret keeps her promise and returns to New York to marry Allen. On January 11th, 1956, my grandparents, Margaret Eileen Bailey and Allen Williams, tied the knot.

Unfortunately, this photo is the only surviving artifact of their wedding. It has become more and more important to me and my family to capture every special moment and cherish the photos and videos we have of our lives. Every photograph and video tells a story; they show where we have been, how we felt, and how we ended up where we are today.

We define our lives by the important moments, big events, and the people we love. We are overcome with happiness, love, and anticipation in life’s perfect moments. It’s funny how the memories we swear we’ll never forget turn to a blur. Weddings are no different; your special day is full of defining moments: the first look, reading your vows, the first kiss, the first dance, cutting the cake, and so many more.

At Visual Event Films, we capture all of your wedding milestones and every moment in-between. Our filmmakers beautifully document every smile, touch, and kind word. We recreate the emotions, narrative, and once-in-a-lifetime moments you’ll never want to forget. We are above all master storytellers; we don’t just create wedding videos; we tell your story.
