Danny was incredible!
One thing we knew we wanted to have was a videographer but we weren't too sure on who. We don't like a lot of the attention that typically comes with these things and we really just wanted someone to document the day, blend into the background and get some shots of things as they really happened - That is exactly what Danny gave us.
From the first time we met him at our venue he was very friendly and put our minds at ease telling us that's how he likes to work too. He is a great guy and we all got on really well. We walked through the day and Danny came up with some lovely ideas of how we could use the venue in the best way. The planning was super easy and Danny made sure that the only thing left was pure excitement for the day.
As the day arrived and I first got to the church Danny was already setup was really relaxed and helped made the rest of us relax (which is great when those pre-ceremony nerves kick in!) Throughout the ceremony neither of us even noticed he was there, we completely forgot that it was being filmed and that I was miked up for the vows!
The key bits for us were the vows, the speeches and the first dance and I remember Danny setting up for those and his attention to detail was amazing, he made sure there was multiple angles, mic's in the right place to capture the important bits and that it all blended in so no one felt a spotlight on them!
When the order of our day had to change on the fly towards the end pushing our first dance out, Danny was fantastic - he came over and asked what was going on during our fireworks and if we wanted to be filmed for it which was amazing!
The whole day flew by and it felt like we didn't get time to catch any of it - not to mention we didn't notice much of Danny due to his blending in. A few days after the wedding (before we flew off for honeymoon!) Danny sent us a 4 minute teaser video ... it was INCREDIBLE and blew us both away. To hear my wife say her vows was just amazing and seeing small bits of detail that we didn't realise he captured (like the two of us laughing together at the alter).
When the final video came through a few weeks later we sat and watched it 2 or 3 times back to back. There was so much of the day we missed due to speaking to people and just trying to get around that Danny shared with us from his lens and it was magical to see our guests enjoying themselves, peoples reactions to different parts of the day and it was like a second chance to see the day all over again.
If you do one thing, hire Danny! He by far made the day for us by giving us something that we will keep and cherish forever and whenever we need to see it again we can. We cannot express how much it means to us to have something so well crafted, polished and so much more than we wanted.
Apart from all the above he is by far one of the nicest people we ever met and after the day was over, one of the sour points was that Danny had to go on to another wedding and wouldn't still be following us around with a camera!!!
