Orlagh House Wedding Videographer
A discreet, documentary-style wedding film in the Dublin mountains, with the whole city laid out below.
A Georgian house that spent a century as a retreat
Orlagh House was built in 1790 for the Dublin snuff merchant Lundy Foot, who called it Footmount. It later became an Augustinian retreat, and has been restored as a wedding and events venue since 2017. It sits in the foothills of the Dublin mountains, 50 acres of woodland and rivers, with views that run all the way out over the city to the Irish Sea.
Where weddings happen at Orlagh
The house itself runs to over 17,500 square feet: drawing rooms with open fires, a banquet hall, a parlour and a dining room. The stand-out space is the Oratory, a former chapel with a working organ that doubles as the dance floor later in the night.
Seated capacity indoors is around 120. With the outdoor spaces, the log cabin bar and the renovated barns, a more relaxed setup, food trucks or a BBQ, can stretch to 200 plus.
How I'd approach it
Here's how I work, wherever I'm filming: compact equipment, no staging, no directing, and a habit of staying out of the way so the day looks like it actually happened rather than a production.
- The view over Dublin from the grounds is the reason people book Orlagh, and it's worth stepping outside for even on a day that's otherwise fully booked with plans.
- A former chapel as a dance floor is not something you see often; the acoustics and the light in there are both worth knowing about in advance.
