Caroline and Sam’s wedding was a huge party!  The dancing started early in the morning with a traditional Macedonian band at Caroline’s house and continued well into the night at the reception, including a breakdancing and hip-hop performance group – and of course Caroline and Sam’s beautiful first dance.

The beautiful venue in this video is Tebbutts Observatory at Windsor.

The beautiful church in this video is Padre Pio Catholic Church at Glenmore Park.

The beaufiful couple in this video is Nicole and Jason !!

We loved the choice of venue and the casual style that Nicole & Jason had for their reception at the observatory.  We love that Nicole and Jason wrote personal wedding vows and that they also included interviews on their wedding day, which we love because they personalise film like nothing else can !   Please leave a comment below the video

We just received this awesome email from Lena & Deni.  Receiving emails like this makes us very happy

To dear Dave and team,

We wanted to extend the biggest, warmest and most sincere thankyou to you and your team for creating the most incredible snapshot of our wedding day. Our video is simply stunning and the quality is amazing. But beyond that, you have managed to capture our love, our life and the emotions of our wedding day.  Our video has been enjoyed by all of our friends and family and I know it is something that will be replayed again and again throughout our lives.

I sincerely thank you for the obvious care and dedication you put into creating our video – we absolutely love it!

A huge thanks also to your amazing crew who filmed our wedding day. We hardly noticed their presence and they made us feel so comfortable.  Your unobtrusive  style let us relax and enjoy our day.

I would also like to commend you on the selection of music for our video ! I could not have chosen better music myself ! I absolutely love each and every song, and think it is so well suited to the video – and to us !

Thankyou a million times over, we love our video and I am so glad that we had you to make our video for our special day ! I have already had friends demanding your details for their upcomming weddings !! ( some friends of mine who are not even engaged yet have said they want to book you !! ).

You are clearly an exceptional standout in your field, thankyou for lending your expertise to our video – I know we will be watching it when we are old and grey, smiling at the memory of our beautiful day.

Sincerely, Deni and Lena

After a small break over winter we’re back into the swing of things and geared up for a massive wedding season!

On Saturday we filmed the wedding of Kim and Brad at the unique setting of Jenolan Caves, which is about 2.5hrs drive from Sydney.  Filming in and around the caves certainly provided some challenges, but there’s no denying their beauty.

Here are a couple of frames from the shoot:

Keep an eye on photographer Gavin Cato’s website for more images soon!

Leena & Chris don’t remember when they met – but they do remember that it was via Chris breaking the one rule set by his sister Linda … which was that he should not date any of her friends.   Sometimes, rules were meant to be broken!

Rachael and Ian collected their wedding DVDs yesterday …  today we received this amazing feedback …

Dear Dave & the DnM team,

We want to thank all of you for the wonderful memory you have created for us. Your work is nothing short of spectacular! Words cannot describe what we think of our video, but we’ll try…

You were all so professional and unobtrusive on our wedding day that we didn’t realise you were there most of the time! Our guests even commented on the professionalism and friendliness of your team.

The comments from all our friends once our video was uploaded said it all; “it was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen”, “simply stunning”, “brought tears to my eyes”, “encapsulated the day perfectly”- just to mention a few.

I don’t know how you did it, but our Highlight and Main Feature films almost seem as if the whole day was scripted into a beautiful movie. It reflected us, our style and emotions of the day perfectly. Even people we don’t know well have seen it and say they can’t stop watching it!

We would say to everyone who isn’t sold on wedding cinema that once you see the finished product, you will realise that it is the most important (and treasured) memory you can get from your wedding day. We even felt that is was more significant than our photos! DnM was without a doubt the best money we spent on our wedding. I’m sure when our friends get married, after seeing what you produced for us, will be booking you first!

It is something we and our families will be able to watch forever and pass down through generations to come.

We can’t thank you enough…

Love Rachael & Ian

Last week our team headed down to Melbourne to share in a week of education with about 50 of our wedding filmmaker colleagues.

This was the 2nd time that Exposed Down Under has been run.  This is the only workshop of it’s kind in Australia, bringing together wedding filmmakers not only from Australia but from around the world.  We were thrilled to have attendees from New Zealand, USA and Indonesia. Plus our amazing lineup of presenters included internationals – Ray Roman (USA), Konrad Czystowski (Canada), Jason Magbanua (Philippines) and Matt Davis (USA).

I was also privileged to have the honour of presenting this year, as well as hosting the event.  Although a little nerve-wracking, I’m pleased to say that I delivered sufficient ‘nuggets’ of useful information to gain some very positive feedback

It was a fantastic week and I’d like to thank everyone involved. It’s great to be able to share knowledge with those who share our passion.  We learned a lot and had a ton of fun!

Our own very talented editor Kristy took stacks of photos throughout the event … here are just a handful …

We are currently in Melbourne for Exposed Down Under and looking forward to filming a mock-wedding at Montsalvat on Thursday.

We truly love doing what we do … but sometimes we get feedback that helps to make it all the more worthwhile, such as this awesome feedback from Emma & Rich …

You are truly amazing DnM. What you have produced is nothing short of breathtaking. After we saw what you did for our dearest friends, we knew we wanted you for our videographers – and we weren’t even engaged at the time. Sure enough, when the time came, you were the first we booked (aside from venue and church)!!!

Our highlights, interviews and feature film are more than we could have ever imagined. You not only captured every moment, but every emotion felt in that moment.

You have told ‘our’ story through film in a powerfully captivating and sentimental way that not only reflects our day but also our thoughts, feelings and the love we have shared leading to this day. Memories may fade over time, however, when captured and represented the way you have, they will last a lifetime.

DnM, you are truly magnificent and for that …we thank you.

Sophia and Maroun’s wedding day was one of the busiest weddings we have ever filmed !  Putting together a same-day-edit is always fun, but comes with a fair degree of pressure.  The first video below is the same-day-edit that was shown on the wedding-day during the reception at Doltone House.  The video starts with some footage of Sophia at her final dress fitting of her stunning gown made by Steven Khalil.

The wedding also featured entertainment from comedians Tahir Bilgic & Rob Shehadie of ‘Fat Pizza’ fame, who had the guests in stitches

Entertainment kept coming with a Lebanese Dance-group, a live band (MIB), fireworks and the big surprise of the evening – Brian McFadden singing live.   Brian sang 5 songs – including his hit ‘Like Only a Woman Can’ for Sophia and Maroun’s first dance.   As a special bonus, we have included that clip here.
