Engagement Video

Engagement Video also known as Save-the-date video

One of the new trends in the pre-wedding process is the addition of engagement and save-the-date videos. Many brides (and grooms!) are looking for something more creative than traditional engagement photography. What a better way to remember this time in your life than a creative video?

You will get one DVD of a 2-5 minute video of you and your fiancé, filmed on a location of your choice (two hours aprox). We can tell your love story… you can use it as a save-the-date video to save hundreds on postcards and stamps, and we can do a mini interview session with you and your fiancé – it’s up to you!

You can choose from a preconceived engagement video where you can customize text and soundtrack that after will be put together with images from your video session or you can option for an interview type video.

Preconceived engagement video - €50

Interview type video - €100

If the client stays with us for his/hers wedding video there will be a €50 discount on the Diamonds and Velvet packages.

Don’t hesitate to contact us for more information on this product.

Sheraton Athlone Hotel Videographer's Review

The Sheraton Athlone Hotel is one of the finest wedding venues in Ireland.
With only one wedding per day, wonderful food, service and a high standard of accommodation.
The Hotel takes care of everything, from red carpet reception with champagne, flower decorations, the cake and a magnificent four course meal; nothing is left unattended.
My clients were relaxed and able to fully enjoy the day.
The hoey Banqueting Suite is very flexible, ranging from smaller weddings to up to 400 guests.
The bridal suite was magnificent, making for ideal photo and video opportunity. Being just a stones throw from the river Shannon, you’ll be certain to have an idyllic background for your wedding video.

Masquerade - The Singing Waiters

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.

Edel & Ian Wedding Video

It was a wonderful day in the beginning of September when I set off to Athlone to record Edel & Ian’s wedding.
People were very happy from the previous night celebrations and anxious for the upcoming ceremony.
During preparations there were touching moments when Ian send flowers to all the ladies and special jewellery gifts to his bride and daughter.
The ceremony was very traditional in the Corpus Christy church, Latin mass and all no kisses aloud inside!
The photo-shoot was in Burgess Park with the Shannon as background, very nice spot indeed!
From there to a champagne reception at the Sheraton Hotel Athlone.
The reception looked fabulous and I stayed to cover the cutting of the cake, the speeches and the first dance.
Edel and Ian, I wish you will be very happy together.
Duarte
ps: Take a look at the wedding highlights.

Panasonic HDC-TM900 Review

When looking for a prosumer camcorder I ended up with only two options, it was the Panasonic 900 series or the Canon HF G10.
After going through many reviews I decided for the Panasonic HDC-TM900, the various functions on the manual ring compared to the only focus control on the Canon ring and the way Panasonic uses a better algorithm to compress the images into file keeping more information just won me over.
I bought the Panasonic TM900 camcorder for my professional kit primarily for Wedding Videos, but also for broadcasting projects. Picture quality of this unit is simply unbelievable. Very natural colours and extremely sharp picture.
The Leica lens is beautiful and the automatic and manual controls are superb giving plenty of scope to manually adjust: Zebra warning, exposure adjustment, focus and white balance. The intelligent Zoom gives a 20x magnification which covers most requirements. Macro works very well and is easy to focus up. The touch screen works brilliantly and offers easy access to your footage listed by date. Having this level of quality in your pocket is a dream come true! The flip out 3 inch screen is tremendous, sharp and detailed. The top zoom lever is something I really love as it gives a beautifully slow, silky smooth zoom.  So on the picture side, couldn’t be more pleased.
I was really amazed at the quality of the footage when recording in 1080p 50fps and the possibility of recording both PAL and NTSC is a must allowing for US/Europe production.
Sound wise, the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound is amazing however, in windy situations the sound quality is severely interfered with, advice to plug a good mic to the mic jack input provided on the camera.
The camera is exceptional in low light filming; a big plus for wedding videography, churches and receptions have always that low dimed light that puts out many cameras. No noise whatsoever when recording in dim light. Colour is bright and vibrant.
Also its size and portability allows me to use it all day without losing my arm compared to bigger cameras and to be more discreet while recording weddings; I look like one more guest among the crowd.
If you're looking for an easy to use camera that provides exceptional picture quality and great Dolby surround sound, look no further.
All said and done I really love this little camcorder as a tool for producing video works for broadcast and Wedding Videos. I highly recommend it, well done Panasonic!
