Getting your wedding videography right

September 17, 2020 Eamon Leave a comment

Are you still not sure about hiring a wedding videographer, here at Drangan Video we definitely say yes go for it, of course we would say that !!. We have been videographers for so many weddings in Tipperary, Klkenny, Waterford and though-out Ireland for more than 20years, we frequently meet couples who have used our videography service, they all agree that having a wedding video was the best decision they have ever made.

A Quality Wedding Video Is Worth Paying For

The price you pay for videography very much reflects the quality of the finished wedding film. Recording a wedding day will take up to 12 hours hours, add another 2 days for post production, the average cost for a wedding film is anywhere between €1200 and €2500 bearing in mind the average cost of a wedding dress is €1700 it might be worth considering hiring a videographer to capture you in that dress on your big day

Go with a professional
Wedding videography is much more than just turning up and pointing a camera, it takes lots of experience and skill, It also involves just as much work input as your photographer, so accepting an offer from a family friend or a video enthusiast might not be the perfect choice

Different styles of wedding videography

There are so many different styles of videography to choose from, take your time to find a modern style that you really like. Professional videographers are constantly keeping up with latest trends, think about how your video may age over the next few years. Many styles and trends have come and gone over the last 20 years, gone are the long boring 3 hour productions, now wedding films are much shorter with lots of short clips with a fast pace. It’s very important that you do your own research first before meeting a videographer view examples of their work on their website, facebook and Instagram accounts, not just a showreel as they could be hiding the bad parts, find the style that you like and then book a videographer who can create your perfect wedding film.

Communication is key
Once you’ve found a videographer that you like and that is within your budget, have a long conversation about your planning for the day and what you would exspect your wedding film to look and sound like. It’s easy to get your wires crossed with mixed messages, now is the time to get it right might be to late when the day is over.

Be sure to ask how many cameras your videographer will use on the day, here at Drangan Video we use a minimum of two cams there are no second chances for a second shoot of your wedding day. It also means that you’ll get get to view the day from different angles lending to a much more exciting production and needless to say better value for money

Getting your wedding video to sound right

When couples think about their wedding video, a beautiful colorful film immediately springs to mind, what happens when you sit down to enjoy your wedding video, only to find that the speeches are not clear due to background noise or your exchange of vows are barely audible, make sure that your videographer is using lots of external audio recorders, perfect sound is just as important as perfect picture.

Just in case backup plan
Ask what happens if they’re unable to turn up on your big day due to sickness, do they have a backup plan or can get another professional to cover the day.
Discuss a delivery date for the final production, most professional videographers are very busy, so as a rule of thumb allow at least 6 weeks for delivery of your wedding film.

Thanks for dropping by and taking time out to read our latest blog post, if you are considering having a videographer why not contact myself Eamon here at Drangan Video I will be more than happy to discuss our range of wedding video packages for 2020/2021

One of the perks of been a wedding videographer in Kilkenny is the large choice of wedding venues that the city has to offer, all of them are top class locations and most are situated in kilkenny city.
In this weeks Drangan Video blog post we are featuring the wedding of Pam and Sean Dando who were married in Langtons Hotel they were one of the lucky Irish couples to get married before the covid lock-down in March 2020.

Langton House Hotel Kilkenny

Langtons provide a state of the art wedding service and have been listed as the top rated Wedding Venue in Leinster, Langton House Hotel has acquired numerous awards in many different areas of hospitality. The central location allows guests access to river walks, Kilkenny Castle, Rothe House, St Canice’s Cathedral, and all the high street shops that the Marbel City has to offer.

Sean and Pam’s Wedding Video Story

The story begins with Pam and her bridal party getting ready in Pam’s parents house in lower Conahy Kilkenny best known in local GAA circles as the home of the famous Conahy Shamrocks hurling club. It was a brave move for me as a Tipperary supporter making my way over the county border to record another Kilkenny wedding.
Pam’s bridal preps look great on video, lots of special moments with Pam her Mum & Dad and not forgetting the star of the film little flower girl Isla, who was not in no way camera shy, Pam’s mum lending a hand with the wedding dress is one of my favorite highlights from the morning preps.

Wedding Ceremony In Langtons Set Theatre

The hotel has so much to offer for a memorable wedding day exsperience the vibrant colors combined with expensive décor are the perfect setting for a wedding day to remember.
Sean and his Groomsmen arrived with time to spare for the 2:30pm ceremony in the wonderful Set Theatre in Langtons, it was an opportunity to capture video footage of the pe ceremony preparations including family shots with Sean and his family. The ceremony was discreetly captured with two video cameras the full ceremony was included in the final video edit.

Pam and Sean were a dream couple to work with, both so easy going relaxed and down to earth, thanks to them for choosing Drangan Video as their preferred choice for videography. They have kindly allowed their wedding film to be shared on Facebook and Instagram.

Should We Have A Big Or Small Wedding

July 27, 2020 Eamon Leave a comment

Here at Drangan Video we are all set for a return next week to shooting wedding videos in Tipperary Kilkenny and up and down the country, cameras and equipment have been checked out making sure that batteries and sound recording equipment are in perfect condition for our busy Autumn wedding schedule.
We have been chatting with lots couples over the past six weeks regarding wedding planning post covid lockdown, the question of should we have a big or small wedding is a popular topic.

Should we have a big or small wedding

When married couples hear that a friend has popped the question and are are in the process of wedding planning they smile knowingly about all the hard work that is ahead of them. Planning a wedding is very exciting but very hard work, just deciding on the dress you have to think about whether you want the most modern design or a more traditional wedding dress, and then the big question are you going to splash out on a big wedding or a smaller more personal celebration with families and very close friends.

Small weddings work well because you’ll have more time with family and friends you won’t have to greet 250 guests outside the church door which can take an hour from your day, instead you can mingle with individual guests at different times during the day at the reception venue. This is worth thinking about because having guests are why you wanted to have a wedding in the first place you wanted to share the most important day in your life with the people you love. But If you want to invite lots of people the big wedding is the the way to go, you can invite who want and don’t have to spend hours looking at the guest lists wondering how you can possibly cut it down. Everyone can dance a lot at a big gathering this is a really good reason for having a big wedding if dancing is something that matters a lot to you.

Many couples are comfortable with a small wedding because they can have it at a venue like a restaurant where everyone can sit down chill and eat. If you are having 70 people or less say closer to 30, that amount of people might look lost in a huge venue, It may seem like you have almost no one there which would be disappointing considering all time and effort put into planning your big day

You’ll want to remember your big day.

Here at Drangan Video So many of our couples remark about how the whole is a blur, they enjoyed their wedding day but they can’t pick out any special moments from it. That’s not exactly what you want, one advantage of a small wedding is that you can relax and enjoy the whole experience instead of being distracted by so many guests around you all day.

Believe it or not the job of creating a smaller guest list can be pretty stressful, differing opinions can crop up between the bride and groom, each of whom may have small or large families or huge circles of friends who they are having trouble trimming down. Big weddings are good for avoiding arguments about the guest list, you’ll know that you’re both inviting as many people as you want to, anway who wants to chawing the rag while planning the most special day in your life

A Small Wedding Could Make People Unhappy

A small wedding could upset people in your life, friends and family members may not understand your reason for having a smaller, more intimate gathering you may find yourself answering questions as to why certain people were omitted from the guest list, that doesn’t sound like a good position to be in.
The real question is, what kind of wedding do you really want ? What is your gut feeling ? There is for and against big and small weddings our advice is to go what your heart is telling you.

Drangan Video provides wedding videography services for couples in Tipperary, Kilkenny, Limerick and further afield. Our state of the art wedding videos have long been a favourite with brides and grooms right across Ireland and we work hard to ensure we adapt to all situations.

If you and your loved one have recently become engaged, let us first extend a hearty congratulations from all the team here at Drangan Video. Now that you have popped the question or said ‘yes’, it’s time to get the wheels in motion and start planning your big day. Planning a wedding can be a most wonderful experience, so it’s important to try to reduce any stress and enjoy every moment. It is with this in mind that we have put together a checklist for you to follow as you start your journey into married life.

Choosing a venue and settling on a date:
One of the very first things you need to do when planning for your big day is choosing a date. For many couples this will go hand in hand with choosing a venue. Make a shortlist of venues that you want to speak with or arrange a viewing for and have an idea of the dates you would like prior to meeting with them. If your favourite venue is not available on the date you would like, then you still have the opportunity to move things around.

Booking the Ceremony:
If you are planning on having the ceremony and the reception in two different venues, it is important that you move fast to ensure you secure availability on the same date. Most venues will be flexible with dates until you sign your contract, so work closely with both the reception venue and the ceremony venue until you have both locations secured.

Choosing your Bridal/Grooms Party:
If you have decided to have a best man and maid of honour, it’s important that you ask them as early in the process as possible. Any bridesmaids, groomsmen, paige boys and flower girls should also be notified as early as possible to ensure these special people are available on your big day.

Booking Suppliers:
Here’s a quick overview of the some of the vendors and services you may require for your big day:

• Videographers (Drangan Video of course!),
• Photographer,
• Celebrant or priest if you are having a religious ceremony,
• Car hire,
• Florists,
• Catering,
• Wedding favours,
• Hair stylists,

Great News for Irish Weddings

July 13, 2020 Eamon Leave a comment

Whilst the last number of months have been quite stressful for many brides and grooms, they can now see a clear path ahead that allows them to plan with confidence. On Friday the 19th of June, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced that Ireland would be proceeding into phase 3 of the easing of restrictions in Ireland. No doubt this announcement brought great relief to our couples who have been awaiting this news for quite some time. Let’s have a quick recap on the information provided for social gatherings:

Please do note that all the information provided below is subject to public health guidance and the ongoing decline in Covid 19 cases.

From the 29th of June until the 20th of July, government and NPHET have advised that gatherings of up to 50 people can take place indoors with social distancing in place. Outdoor venues have a bit more leeway and can accommodate up to 200 people during this timeframe. Keep in mind that these numbers will need to include staff and any wedding suppliers that need to be onsite such as the photographer and videographer.

July 20th sees the introduction of phase 4 and therefore a further increase on numbers allowed. For those of you getting married during this time, you can allow for up to 100 people indoors or 500 outdoors. Social distancing will of course have to be in place at your venue during this time, however some careful planning can mean that sitting family groups together can make this a wonderful occasion.

Should you find that the current guidelines and numbers are too restrictive, it’s worth considering the following options:

• Rescheduling of your wedding day until a clearer picture of the pandemic has emerged.
• Opting for an outdoor event instead of indoors. Whilst the good old Irish weather can be a bit unpredictable, the venue may be able to offer a marquee for your celebrations.
• Live-streaming of your event to family and friends.
• Reducing the numbers on your guest list.
• Speak with family and friends and get an idea of how attending an event makes them feel. What are their concerns? Once you have this information you can then work towards solutions that make everyone feel comfortable.
• Consider a two-part wedding. Many brides and grooms have opted to go ahead with the ceremony itself with limited numbers in attendance and are planning the ultimate celebration when all restrictions have been lifted.
• If you are planning a destination wedding, it’s vitally important that you communicate regularly with your venue/wedding planner and keep up to date with travel guidelines in your chosen country.

To our brides and grooms in Tipperary, Kilkenny and right across Ireland, we look forward to working with you to find solutions to any concerns you may have. Over the past number of months, the team here at Drangan Video have been working around the clock to develop solutions for all of our budding brides and grooms. We are here to offer any guidance we can and of course will accommodate any rescheduled dates that we do not already have a booking for. Our very best wishes to you and yours, it’s time to get planning for that special day and enjoy every moment of the planning process.
