I have just completed my latest video, “Falling Slowly.” I had a great time making it. Most of it was filmed in with the green screen. I composited it in After Effects adding a lot of special effects. I hope you enjoy. Visit it my YouTube channel to see lots more videos.
Sean Driscoll classical guitarist plays "Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once."
Over the last few months, I’ve been really working hard creating a series of classical guitar videos that are entertaining, innovative and informative. I hope by incorporating cool animation, informational popups and unusual effects these videos stand out. I am trying to use my new green screen in ways that haven’t been seen before with classical guitar videos.
I’ll be adding more animation this month with an Irish selection I am shooting. There is dancing Leprechaun in it who insists on dueling me to see who is faster. I hope to complete the animation before St. Patricks Day! It is a ton of work.
You’ll find all of new videos at my YouTube Channel. Please visit and “like” them if you get a chance. I hope you enjoy!

Savannah’s classical guitarist, Sean Driscoll can be found in the national wedding blog “Style Me Pretty.”
It was a beautiful day for a wedding and Nick and Shalyn picked one of Savannah’s prettiest downtown locations, Washington Square , to tie the knot. In a quaint small area secluded from the normal Saturday crowds, the couple gave their vows and processed to the Pink House for further celcbrations. It was a joy to play for them and everyone was really quite glamourous! “Style Me Pretty” featured the wedding and ran wonderful photos. The photo above was from that series. Thanks for letting me be part of your special day.

Moon River Wedding - Savannah, GA - Sean Driscoll, Classical Guitar
I rarely get emotional at weddings but this one got me. I think it was because there was a true sense of sincerity that is rare today. Jennifer and Nathan wrote their own vows. In sharing one of the most intimate moments a couple may ever have, a window opened unveiling their inner most feelings for one another. And in those moments, I saw true compassion, love and a deep understanding of what it means to undertake the covenant of marriage. It is unusual for me to see couples enter into one of life’s grandest and challenging adventures (this union of marriage) with such open eyes and hearts. Jennifer was inspired by one of her childhood toys from the children’s story, “The Velveteen Rabbit.” I had never thought of it but the story is a wonderful parable for marriage. As she took us though the story she made it clear that the bond that this couple shared was for life and was earned though countless hours of play, holding and hugging.

I am also certain that it was the manner in which they choose to get married that made all the difference. With only the closest of family and friends there, the service and reception were held on the banks of Moon River at Jennifer’s parents house. Wow, what a view it was. (See pictures.) A gentle 80-degree breeze blew out of a blue sky dotted with marsh-mellow clouds making the weather picture perfect.
Speaking of pictures, the ones you’re finding here were taken by Russell Macdonald of Russell Macdonald Photography. It was a pleasure working with Russ. As you can see, Russ has a deep understanding of all things visual and he captured the afternoon perfectly. He is also is a guitar aficionado as were several others thus keeping me on my toes making sure I played my best.

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to meet the florist but they did wonderful job with a large swag of white blossoms over the archway and table arrangements that really complemented the food. The garden style bouquets matched this garden wedding perfectly.

The food was catered by “Thrive” of Whitmarsh Island Savannah. Their organic fare was a delight. Jennifer and Nathan invited me to partake in the food and I thoroughly enjoyed the lamb, grilled vegetables, macaroni and cheese, and corn bread. All of their food is organic and grown by local farmers. You can really taste the difference. Wendy and Sarah are no doubt passionate about what they do and it really shows in their work.
All in all I couldn’t think of better way to spend a Saturday afternoon working. The simplicity and intimacy of the setting made for a wonderful wedding. Best of luck to you Nathan and Jennifer. I am sure you will do well in calm seas or storm. May the peace of Moon River always be with you.
Today many wedding couples are looking for more contemporary or alternative music instead of the traditional selections of the past. With that in mind, I have added demos of music from a wide variety of styles and current performers such as The Foo Fighters, The Beatles, He And She, and Zach Brown. There are also jazz standards, pop tunes and show tunes there too. You’ll find these selections engaging and fun adding a refreshing approach to the traditional wedding ceremony music. Please have a listen and let me know if you have a specific song you would like to have played at your wedding. Click here to have a listen.
It was picture perfect weather for a wedding in The Fragrance Garden at Forsyth Park in Savannah, GA on Saturday. The garden was covered in flowers and filled the nose with a variety of lovely scents. This intimate setting is perfect for smaller garden weddings and a photographer’s dream. If you get a chance and you are in Savannah, it is well worth the visit to see such an incredible place. The rest of the park won’t disappoint you either with the new stage, restaurant and playground areas the Mansions Hotel has built. Here you will find lots of family fun for everyone.
The Turner wedding turned out simply beautiful. I played a wide variety of Renaissance, Baroque and popular pieces then ended with Mendelssohn’s traditional “Wedding March.” The yellow daisies in bouquets and hairpieces made me feel like I was in a romantic painting.
Here is to another perfect day! Best of luck to the Turners in their new journey together. Thanks for letting me be part of it.

I had a wonderful time playing for Shina Masters and her new hubby James Collins Saturday 3/06/10. James seemed very kind. I was a little sad though because I had little time to talk during setup. I wish I could get to visit more but it is always so busy the day of the wedding.
The ceremony was held at the Mansions On Forsyth Park in Savannah. What an extraordinary place! The wedding was in the marble garden courtyard. Please visit their site for wedding for visiting location ideas in Savannah. You’ll be blown away with the opulence and the price.
Their wedding coordinator was Melissa Livingston Of M Livingston Events. She was awesome. Highly organized and very relaxed. Something you don’t find very often with wedding planners! I really enjoyed working with her.
I wish all the best to Shina and James in their new found journey. Thanks for letting me be a part of this wonderful day.
