What a wonderful day for a wedding we got by the end of October, couldn’t have asked for nothing better!
Couple and families were very nice and Best man made me laugh and cry simultaneously with his speech, very nice one!
This time I had my friend and professional wedding photographer Luis Faustino as my second cameraman.
Having a second crew member makes all the difference in capturing more details of the day.
He was a very good help and it really added value and quality to the wedding DVD.
I wish that my clients could understand the difference a two cameraman set-up makes in the quality of the final product and could allow for this budget on their Wedding Film.
The Wedding of Marcela and Tomasz was a breeze of fresh air
with a double wonderful photoshoot on the castle and beach of Malahide.
With a Brazilian Bride and a Polish Groom, party and drinks
where guaranteed.
I had been to a Polish Wedding before and don’t use to drink
while working, otherwise would have been completely drunk with all the toasting
with Vodka shots during the meal.
The party after was very colourful with all the shining hats
and masks of a true Brazilian Carnival.
All and all, a very cheerful and entertaining experience.
Have a sneak a peek on the video below.
Marcela and Tomasz, I wish you all the possible happiness
and best of luck with the new arrival.
The 20th April was a bright day with promises of
rain and even thunder, although never during the ceremony were we bothered by
the bad weather.
I arrived at Leixlip Manor and Gardens a good hour before
the first gests to get all the establishing shoots from the house and the
beautiful Victorian gardens.
Both gests and the team at Leixlip Manor made me feel very
at ease and treated me attentively.
I started shooting the wedding ceremony in stress! The bride
arrived through a different door and I almost lost her entering the aisle;
these are the moments when you have to be fast thinking and adapt very quickly
to unexpected events.
After that, all went smoothly. My two camera setup got all
the ceremony covered from start to finish and the wireless microphone enabled
me to have a very good audio feed through the ceremony and greetings.
There was a picture session with everybody and after, the
couple went for a relaxing walk in the Victorian gardens. We came back just in
time to see how effective the team at Leixlip Manor is! The ceremony room had
been transformed into reception room so fast it looked like magic.
Second moment of stress!!! Nobody warned me about the start
of the speeches... next time I’ll hold the microphone for safekeeping... again
think fast and act even faster.
The first dance came out very nice, although next time I’ll
keep my second camera higher than any guest’s head... at the last minute
someone just got in front of it. Thanks to two camera setup I had it covered
anyway.
Karen and Conor, I wish you will be even happier than you
have been in the past seven years.

I came across this Masquerade “The Singing Waiters” at Edel and Ian’s wedding in the Sheraton Athlone Hotel.
They blew me up with their performance as well as everybody else!
It was a present from bride to groom that entertained everybody for an amazing half an hour.
Only after when I got in contact with the performers that I realised that the singer was no less than Ciarán Nagle; one of the Three Irish Tenors and the singing/violinist Tara Novak; the lead violinist with both the Three Irish Tenors and Druid.
Thanks again to Ciarán and Tara for an amazing experience!
I’m very happy to anonce that when booking DoART Wedding Films for your wedding, among other offers, you will get €100 off the masquerade.
It was on a sunny Saturday morning that I packed my gear for the first time to go shooting Audrey and Ray’s wedding ceremony at the wonderful Rosedale house.
I have to thank them for believing in me although they knew I had no previous experience.
After receiving a call from Ray on the afternoon of the previous day, I started to move really quick organising what I would need for the next day; Have to give my thanks to Deborah for lending me her camera in such a short notice.
And there I was equipped with my Nikon D5000 and a Samsung miniDV camera, batteries, tripod and media waiting for groom and bride.
The lovely ceremony presided by the bride’s brother went very smoothly and finished with moving speeches from the couple’s children.
Have to say that I felt part of it and ended up with tears in my eyes.
Audrey and Ray, I wish you all the happiness in the world.
