Civil ceremonies In Kilkenny and all over Ireland have become very popular in recent times. As a popular wedding videographer here in Tipperary and Kilkenny I am well acquainted with filming civil ceremonies and civil partnerships, so a visit to Kilshane House for a civil ceremony near Tipperary Town lately was just another day at the office for me but a very special day for Cora and Ivan. They were a lovely couple and fantastic to work with from start to finish. Here is a clip from their day in Kilshane house.
Cora and Ivan celebrated their wedding day with a large number of family and friends at Kilshane. I am sure that all Tipperary videographers would agree that for a civil ceremony, Kilshane is Tipperary’s Number One venue.
This fantastic hotel will give you all you need and more. It is an elegant and spacious Regency house built in 1822 situated at the end of a half-mile long driveway. It is the centre-piece of 320 acres of private parkland which includes a trout river, a remarkable Victorian landscaped garden with a man-made lake, huge noble trees, grassy expanses and the unique Tipperary sky. A large and handsome conservatory circa 1860 is ideal for a glass or two of champagne, or a champagne reception under glass. Enjoy an intimate dinner in a private room off the Conservatory… or an elegant dinner in the formal dining room…or fine dining on a grand scale in the Orangerie.
This Wedding story began with Cora getting ready at the hotel the morning of their wedding, on one of our few sunny days this year. The Hotel makes you feel relaxed the moment you come through their doors. After the ceremony the photo session took place in the grounds of this great house, which has a beautiful lake situated half way up the drive. It is ideal for wedding footage and photos alike. It was a pleasure to have been asked to be part of their wedding day, and as I have filmed lots of weddings in the hotel I know all the nice areas to capture a couple’s day in style
With this lovely couple we went to the lake for their wedding shoot. It was an abundance of colour with wild flowers and trees, and the old boat house in the background made for some great footage as you will see in the clip. They were a lovely relaxed couple and really enjoyed their photographs being taken, which makes it easier for us all! As with all wedding videos it’s at this time that we get the time to be creative and make the couple’s DVD something to stand out from the rest. I really enjoy trying new angles and exposure to bring out the best in the location as again you will see in the clip
Editing was so much fun on this wedding as I had loads of fantastic footage to work with, from start to finish. Again, this is very inportant when filming a wedding as it really gives me so much more to chose from – one thing I don’t like is to scrimp on footage, after all it’s YOUR day.
