Arlene & Declan 31st October 2009

The Wedding of Arlene and Declan took place in Louisburgh in Co Mayo. We started out early in Arlenes home where we captured the preparation, I must say a very relaxed bunch. It was then onto the church where myself and the photographer Richard Chadwick met up with Declan he was a little nervous, but that was to be expected.

The church looked amazing and the service went beautifully with a lovely homely from Fr. Long and some great music from Marie and Caroline.

The photos were taken at Westport House a wonderful scenic location. It was back to the Knockranny House Hotel in Westport for a lavish meal, fun speeches and to dance the night away.

Thank you guys for letting me share in your special occasion !!!

After their Champaign reception and meal they were entertained by Celtic Rhythm and then danced until the early hours of the morning.

Hi Declan,
We just wanted to say how delighted we are with our wedding dvd. You were so prompt and efficient with getting it together.

Suzanne & Ross 1st August 2009

It was a nice sunny morning, the forecast was bad, but the mood in the Foran Household was upbeat to say the least. Little Jack had eaten,and the Bride and her Bridesmaids were toasting what would be a wonderful day ahead. This day was not only a special day for the Bride and Groom but also for the many family and friends that attended. For us they are treasured friends that we know we will spend a life time with. Okay, back to the story. Weather still good , Ross looked happy a little nerves but very proud to be waiting for his wife to be. She arrived on time which I think she had told us all she would be. The ceremony was lovely, music flower etc. but it must be mentioned that Ross and Suzanne decided to say their vows very softly. - I think it was to keep it intimate, but little did they know that the tried and trusted camera was about to hear it all. Afterwards Ardfert, Banna and Kate Brown's were calling and from their back to the Ballyroe Heights to mingle, and dance the night away.

Take a peek at the Highlights that we put together. A special thanks to Roy for his hard work on the day, and to you Suzanne & Ross we hope you both have a long and happy life together.

Susan, Declan & Jack

The Right Wedding Videographer


Hi all,

I was on the net today and found the following article on choosing the correct videographer and taught it may be of some interest to you. Hope you enjoy the 

Declan

Getting The Right Wedding Videographer

The beauty of video is that it is able to capture the whole day, from the small intimate details to the broadest spectrum of emotions. Improvements in technology, smaller cameras and the need for less artificial light can allow the right videographer to capture the day's events without actually being a part of it. In addition to being a precious keepsake of your wedding day, your wedding video is a great way to capture moments you may otherwise miss.

When considering a videographer, select the package that highlights the events that are most important to you.

When viewing a videographer's work, you will become aware of the many intangibles that become subjective through the eyepiece of the camera and in the mind of the videographer director/editor. You will instinctively know when a particular videographer's emotional style clicks with your own.

Tips for Selecting a Videographer

Look for a videographer who is experienced, creative and artistic.

When viewing examples of work, look at the clarity and quality of the video, the composition, as well as the details of shooting and editing.

Questions To Ask Your Videographer

  • What type of lighting will the videographer use?
  • Do you have sample videos I can see?
  • How long have you been in business?
  • What packages do you offer?
  • Do you use Professional Quality equipment, accessories and supplies?
  • How many cameras do you use?
  • Do you have back-up equipment that is comparable in quality to the original?
  • Do you use wireless microphones?
  • Do you offer Non-Linear Digital Editing?
  • Do you copy-protect or scramble the videotape?
  • What are your guarantees and liabilities?
  • Do you have a written contract?
  • Are you unobtrusive?
  • Will the shoot interfere with the proceedings in any way?
  • How much do you charge for additional hours beyond the agreed contract?
  • Do you work with the photographer to ensure mutual cooperation?
  • Will you go to a location (like the beach or a park) without additional charge?
  • How much are additional copies of the wedding tapes?
  • Do you have references that I can call?

A Professional Wedding Video isn't expensive, it's Priceless!
