Spring 2021 will soon be just a distant memory, summer is just around the corner we look forward to long balmy days filled with sunshine and happy events. Here at Drangan Video we are all set for a busy summer covering weddings in Tipperary, Kilkenny, Carlow and other counties, we are confident that restrictions will be eased over the coming weeks.
This weeks blog news story takes me back to February 13th for the wedding of Amber and Donal in Tullow Co. Carlow, like so many other couples Amber & Donal were looking forward to a large wedding with over 100 guests for the ceremony and reception but like so many others they had to downsize due to covid restrictions. The church ceremony consisted of just 8 guests followed by a reception in Amber’s house in Ballymurphy Carlow with just both sets of parents.
Thanks to Amber & Donal for allowing me to share their amazing highlights video in this news article. The story begins with coverage of morning preps with Donal who is a member of the Irish Army, it was lovey to get all the uniform details, medals, buttons and shoes all coming together to reveal a dashing groom dressed in splendid attire.
My next location was Amber’s parents house just a 15min drive from Donal’s house, it wasn’t your typical bridal preps the Bride was in charge of doing her own hair and makeup, surprisingly she was very calm and taking everything in her stride, February 13th was a freezing cold day with a covering of snow under foot, the photographer suggested a few photos on the front lawn , Amber arrived out in her dressing gown for a few shots beside an old bicycle, Carlow Brides are made of tough stuff.
The Church ceremony was very personal, my video coverage consisted of two cameras one static shooting from the gallery and a floating cam on a mono-pod in the body of the church. Amber and Donal were so relaxed and comfortable all through the ceremony, the video features lots close up happy shots of them just been happy.
After the church we went straight back to the house for the photos and reception, just the bride and groom and both sets of parents sitting down for dinner. The first dance took place in the kitchen, followed by speeches before dinner.
Memories of this lovey couple will remain with me for many years to come, they were both so down to earth and easy to work with. They have all the ingredients for a happy marriage, a great sense of humor, not taking themselves seriously and above all they are madly in love.
