A Cork man surprised his girlfriend with a marriage proposal on a cliff top, featuring a drone delivery of an engagement ring.
Blue Cassidy from Castletownbere had his girlfriend, Maria Gilvanda, pose by a west Cork headland, telling her they were going to appear in a tourism promotional video.
But Blue then shocked Maria by having an engagement ring dropped off by a drone.
The proposal was made a reality by Niall Duffy of West Cork Photos. He operated a camera-equipped drone as the couple sat on a cliff top at Dooneen just outside Allihies.
The drone landed on the headland and her boyfriend got down on one knee to propose to her with the ring from the drone.
She said "yes" and the couple are now planning their nuptials.
Mr Duffy said he and Blue decided to throw Maria off the scent by telling her she was participating in a picnic as part of a promotional video for staycations in west Cork.
"To add to the drama we decided to deliver the engagement ring by drone and film her reaction," said Mr Duffy.
"It was a touch and go operation as strong winds on the day threatened to scupper flying and it was a struggle to keep the drone in place but we went for it and here is the result."
