Belmont Hotel Wedding Photos and Video
Belmont House Hotel Wedding Photography and Videography with Gemma and Scott as they got photos and a highlights video in Lurgan and Banbridge.
Wedding Photos Lurgan
The couple booked me for both their wedding photos and their wedding video, as I do both solo, meaning as one person. When I arrived at their house in Mourneview Estate in Lurgan, I photographed some bridal preparations at their house, as the other girls were there. At that stage, it was very casual, just getting ready. The groom didn’t need any groom preparation photos, so I spent a bit more time here. Later on in the morning, Gemma’s father arrived with a fancy car, so we took some pictures in front of it. The girls were all ready at this point, so a few more pictures in front of the limo before heading off to the ceremony.
Wedding Video Queen Street Methodist Church, Lurgan
I then made my way to Queen Street Methodist Church in Lurgan to film the ceremony with two cameras. This would provide the couple with two cameras. This was unique in that they had two ministers conducting the ceremony. I attached a microphone to the two ministers and the groom. The bride and bridal party walked in as the bagpipes played. I filmed the ceremony with the usual two-camera filming at the same time and multiple audio devices recording just to make sure I get plenty of audio.
Brownlow House Wedding Portraits
The bride, groom, and I headed to Brownlow House (sometimes called Brownlow Castle) for some bridal photos. Brownlow House is also in Lurgan, so quite handy at about a 5 to 10-minute drive. It was October, so it was a little cold. We took some time outside at the front in front of the car and around the side overlooking the building before making our way inside. Inside the staircase is great for a couple of photos, as well as in the main foyer with the majestic, large windows at the back letting in plenty of light.
Wedding Photos and Video Belmont Hotel
Then we proceeded to the reception in the Belmont House Hotel in Banbridge. The hotel is at the front as you drive past the long, winding road, and the wedding venue is behind the hotel. We photographed the families and bridal party at the front of the hotel. This was great as you have the venue as the backdrop. Gemma helped organise things for the photos as she knew the family members better than me.
Wedding Reception in The Iveagh Suite
I filmed some video footage at the front of The Belmont Hotel before heading into The Iveagh Suite for speeches from the bride’s father, the groom’s brother, best man and the groom himself, which was fun and lighthearted. This made a great wedding video as I filmed with two cameras and a few audio devices.
I had time to photograph the guests at their tables as I was waiting for the bride and groom. They had a kids entertainer booked and also a magician. Afterwards, I filmed the first dance, and family and friends joined in for the dancing. Hope you're happy with your wedding photos and video.
