Highlights - Steph and Terry


Stephanie and Terry were married on Saturday 5th April, 2008. It was a day that included a beautiful ceremony conducted by Pastor Murray Harris, held at St Columbus Uniting Church at Woollahra. The photo / video session in Martin Place was loads of fun with the team from Foto Expression.

The reception was held at The Palais in Leichhardt. The celebration included a tea ceremony, a performance by friends and some excellent speeches. The bridal waltz was a highlight, where the dancefloor lighting made for some beautiful footage.

We would like to thank Steph and Terry for having us as part of their day. The clip below is the highlights clip from their wedding video.

Highlights - Erin & Daniel

Erin and Daniel were married in a beautiful little sandstone church at Wilberforce. This was my first time at St John's Anglican. The reception was held at The Sebel at Windsor.

Erin and Daniel were a fun couple and I think that really comes across in their video.

Erin and Daniel had this to say about their wedding video:

"We have watched our DVD from the wedding and are absolutely thrilled with it. You have done an amazing job! Thank you very much for everything; it was a real pleasure to deal with you, always friendly and very helpful. In the wedding industry you can come across some very rude and arrogant people, but we appreciated your honest, friendly and very down to earth approach. You made everyone feel very comfortable on the day which is a real credit to you.

The DVD has captured precious memories and will be forever cherished. Everyone we have shown the DVD to has been so overwhelmed with emotion as it truly captures our wedding day."

Natalie and Marc's wedding took place on January 27th 2008. It was a truly spectacular event, put together by James Klein at @tmosphere.

The fantastic music contniued into the night with the John Field band kicking things off with a high-energy Hora, but the highlight of the night was the performance by the special surprise guest entertainer - Marcia Hines.

Feedback!

Thank you to all of our couples who provide great feedback and testimonials about their wedding videos. It's always nice to feel appreciated :)

Below are some of the recent emails we have received as feedback.

Diana & Nick

Hi Dave,

During the early stages of our wedding, we had not planned to have a Wedding DVD. Our family and friends persuaded us to at least give it a try, so we started looking…

Most of our decisions were quick and easy, though choosing the right person to shoot our Wedding proved the hardest task of all. Many shot in music clip style and used heavy special effects. You were able to capture the natural moments, what people had to say and how they felt!

We love the final DVD. We trusted all your creative decisions from the start, you made us feel relaxed and we received a work of art, with your personal touch J

Thank you for capturing the day perfectly!

Nick & Diana.

Wedding Highlights - Michelle & John

wedding video

Michelle and John's wedding was one of our first for 2008. Married on January 12th at St Charles of Borromeo Church in Ryde, with the reception held at one of our regular venues, Lauriston House at Dundas.

The photo and video session was at Gladesville in the surrounds of Banjo Patterson Cottage. It was our first opportunity to work with Gavin and Nathan from Cato & Pade photography. A great team that I would readily recommend.

Cinematography: Dave
Assistant: Matt
Editor: Sam

Michelle & John wrote to me after watching their dvds ...

"Hi Dave,

Oh my goodness! What can we say? No words can describe how we are touched by your work. Our dvd is just the best wedding gift ever! Everyone loves it and it has brought them to tears! We don't know how to thank you (and your team).

I've watched the highlights everyday so far. Our wedding day was unforgettable. Thank you for playing a part and being so incredible! We will highly recommend your services to everyone!"

Jayz Dance Concert 2007

One of my favourite events that we do annually is Jayz Dance Company's end of year concert. This is the third year that we have produced their concert DVD. I love doing weddings, but this is also a nice change :) The concert is great fun to film and edit - and the standard of dance at Jayz is always exceptional.

The clip below shows a quick compilation of footage from this year's concert.

Highlights





I received this fantastic feedback from Jackie, the owner of Jayz Dance Company:

Jayz Dance Company has had the pleasure of employing DnM Video Productions to film our annual end of year concert for the past 3 years.

We are a dance school in Canberra with 300 Students. We found DnM on the internet and decided to ask them if they would film our concert. Dave and the guys come down every year for 2 days to film 2 different shows.

They are always able to film in any position we give them, with no trouble at all. They are very efficient and provide us with a final product of excellent quality. Their camera work is superb and their editing fantastic. Our parents have nothing but praise for the dvd they receive each year.

Dave makes sure all aspects of the concert are covered including backstage beforehand right up to the final curtain.

From the beginning of each year until we receive the final master copies, Dave is always in contact and can sort every problem we give him. They are definitely the only Video Company we would use.

I am constantly recommending DnM Video Productions to anyone requiring a highly professional DVD of any occasion. I wish the company the very best for the future.

Highlights - Anna & David

Anna and David were married at the Nurses Memorial Chapel in Little Bay. This is one of my favourite videos because Anna and David were very expressive and you will see that the day was filled with emotion.

The reception was held at Victoria House at Bexley.
