Mahon Road Birthday and Engagement Photos and Video
Mahon Road, Portadown: Birthday and Engagement Photos and Video in the Countryside, with a Helicopter Landing at Markethill and Gilford in County Down, followed by a Proposal.
First stop, Mahon Road Engagement Pictures
I may be a few years into being a Wedding Videographer, but I also like filming engagements too. I was contacted for a video engagement proposal, and I suggested some photos, too, to break things up. The proposal was after I had finished in Donegal, so I unfortunately have no photos or video of it. I drove past Armagh Road to arrive at Mahon Road, where I attached a small portable microphone to the male’s inside jacket so it wouldn’t be noticeable when zooming into the photos and to record clearer audio, which I may use later. They also receive all audio recordings anyway.
Roy Orr Helicopter (also called Challenger Helicopters) was booked to stop off at Mahon Road and a few other locations, so I arrived a bit early to have a look around and film some footage. Even though it was filmed, I still took a couple of photos with the pilot when he landed on the next-door neighbour’s land. The countryside is beautiful to photograph around these parts of town.
A quick stop off outside Markethill
Next stop was just outside Markethill, thankfully in the countryside, to collect his partner and girlfriend. I made sure to leave Mahon Road quickly to get here ASAP, as I knew the helicopter would get there quicker than I could drive. This was her parents’ house, but thankfully, there was plenty of garden space at the side of the house for the helicopter to land. I was hiding behind some bushes and saw them coming, and he made a pass around the location as pilots do to make sure there are no overhead wires or anything like that before landing. We took some photos beside the helicopter of the family, including one of the parents. They flew off to Gilford.
Finally, Gilford, County Down Engagement Photos and Videos
As the surprise was over at this stage, I could take my time driving to Gilford in County Down as we made our way to a plot of land just off the village centre. The helicopter landed with the couple at the centre of the grass area. The couple got out and had a nice picnic beside some bushes in the shade. I filmed a bit of this and then took photos of the engaged couple afterwards. Before they flew to Donegal, I made sure I got my portable microphone back, as I might need it for the video. All the best with your future.
Note: Have deliberately left names off and not uploaded too many images as the couple want to remain anonymous.
