I feel very fortunate to have had some really special Wedding clients this year. And I do get a little bit over-excited. So, with that said, please allow me to gush some more because Jenny and Graham’s day was A-maaazing!!!!
Since doing their engagement shoot I’ve been looking forward to going back to Campbell College for the big day. When you get to spend the whole day at one location its a dream. Also the ceremony was later in the day so I had some gorgeous light to play with. Jenny and Graham have a great connection. Its impossible not to smile when your photographing them. And, if thats not enough for me to be gushing about, we had a gloriously, sunny day.

*sigh*

I could have happily blogged the whole Wedding, but here are just a few. Well, maybe more than a few…

The music during this ceremony was rockin. I was snappin and a tappin!

I normally go out in front of the bride and groom but this time I held back. I’m glad because I caught Graham giving Jenny this little kiss as they walked into the light…

There were flowers and candles on every shelf, staircase, ledge and table…

There was alot of ‘tomfoolery’ at this wedding. I asked Graham if I could take some shots of him and this is what he gets up to. Well, I suppose they’re not going to put him on detention now. Someone else decided to put ‘dickey bows’ on the boars:)

Then we tried to go for the ‘too cool for school’ look.

That didn’t work either…

Jenny had different bone china teapots on all the tables, decorated with pearls and filled with hydrangea.

And she also decorated the beautiful cake.

Couldn’t resist

I’m happy to be able to upload some photos from Claire and Joe’s fab day! I know they are on honeymoon but they will be keeping a wee eye on the blog. Last Thursday was gorgeously warm and dry, before the weather changed. Come back Summer. I’m not finished with you yet!
St Malachy’s is a stunning Church and the gardens at Corick House are in full bloom at the moment. Loved-up couple, fun bridal party, beautiful location = happy photographer!

I *heart* these cufflinks.

Aoibhean came all the way from Scotland to be a flowergirl for Claire. And she did a wonderful job of it

Practising her walk down the aisle.

When you ask Cormac to smile he does this…

The men wait nervously.

I’m obsessed with simple handheld bouquets. This is a favourite.

I love the smile that Claire has for Joe. It just lights her up…

This bridal party are up for anything. It might have been the bubbly in the limo on the way down…

On the top table there was a photo of both sets of parent’s on their Wedding days. Sweet:)

Rachel and Albrecht’s love is out there and for the capturing. They are a joy to photograph. After their engagement session I was so looking forward to shooting their Wedding. And I was not disappointed. There were so many photos I could have blogged!  I’ve probably overdone it again.

Even though we were in Northern Ireland, there was no forgetting this was a half-German Wedding.  The ceremony was in both English and German with two officiants representing both families. And then there was the ‘Log-cutting’ afterwards of course. And the German car, and the menu. Oh, and the German beer… Rachel and Albi put alot of thought and planning into this Wedding to make it very much their own.

BTW: Brownlow House is a  fabulous Wedding location. Beautiful light, beautiful features, and not a million miles away from here

The German’s were really interested in our timetable. I was a little nervous. I’m not used to anyone actually paying much attention to it

Happiest bride ever…

It is traditional in Germany for the bride and groom to saw through a log after the ceremony. They have to work together and they have to cut right through it. Thankfully, we had a nice, easy one.

Loved the Trabant and the decoration:)

I don’t think it was any accident that Rachel’s dress perfectly matched Brownlow House and the Rolls…

I had to have a translator on hand for the German family groups. Thank-you Marko!

Scrumptious looking. Rachel’s mum did this…

I’ve been so lucky this year to have so many patient, happy couples who have just been a pleasure to photograph. On Monday it was no exception when I headed down to Newry to photograph Johnny and Maeve’s beautiful Wedding. I really did have alot of fun with this bunch. I hope you can tell from the photos! The great weather helped also. I’ve posted just a small selection here of some favs. Well, actually, quite a few. It was very hard to edit down it down. Carlingford is a great place for a Wedding and the staff at the Four Seasons are so friendly.

Maeve and Johnny, your gallery will be up soon. Here are some of the highlights to bring the big day back to you on your honeymoon!

BTW: This is my kind of Wedding morning. Highly recommended to all brides! Have your hair and make-up done early so you have plenty of time to sit down and enjoy your breakfast. Tea and smoked salmon on fresh wheaten. Yum!

And this is the view from the breakfast room. 360° of mountains.

It was very hot up at the castle, so I suggested maybe going to PJ’s for a pint. The response to this was very positive!!
