The 20th April was a bright day with promises of
rain and even thunder, although never during the ceremony were we bothered by
the bad weather.
I arrived at Leixlip Manor and Gardens a good hour before
the first gests to get all the establishing shoots from the house and the
beautiful Victorian gardens.
Both gests and the team at Leixlip Manor made me feel very
at ease and treated me attentively.
I started shooting the wedding ceremony in stress! The bride
arrived through a different door and I almost lost her entering the aisle;
these are the moments when you have to be fast thinking and adapt very quickly
to unexpected events.
After that, all went smoothly. My two camera setup got all
the ceremony covered from start to finish and the wireless microphone enabled
me to have a very good audio feed through the ceremony and greetings.
There was a picture session with everybody and after, the
couple went for a relaxing walk in the Victorian gardens. We came back just in
time to see how effective the team at Leixlip Manor is! The ceremony room had
been transformed into reception room so fast it looked like magic.
Second moment of stress!!! Nobody warned me about the start
of the speeches... next time I’ll hold the microphone for safekeeping... again
think fast and act even faster.
The first dance came out very nice, although next time I’ll
keep my second camera higher than any guest’s head... at the last minute
someone just got in front of it. Thanks to two camera setup I had it covered
anyway.
Karen and Conor, I wish you will be even happier than you
have been in the past seven years.
