This last one from Shirin and John’s wedding which took place at the Ritz Carlton in Powerscourt, Co Wicklow.

A lovely 12″ x 12″ Queensberry matted album with ivory pages and a silk stone cover. A story told.

A gorgeous Queensberry 12″ x 12″ matted album with microleather eggshell cover. It works well with the cover motif and ivory matted pages.

Ceremony took place at Letterkenny Cathedral in  Co Donegal and the reception at the Solis Lough Eske.

The ceremony took place at the Holy Trinity Abbey in Adare, Co Limerick and the reception thereafter was at Adare Manor. It was last summer so guests mingled in the fabulous gardens until they were called for dinner.

Melissa got ready in Adare Manor’s Presidential suite also know as the Clinton suite. It’s a gorgeously opulent room with beautiful wood and ceiling carvings.

Now here is a wedding album which I did as a sample album. I like to keep my album designs simple and elegant. Let the story breath.  I also prefer matted albums over digital albums as you get a lovely texture and feel to the matted pages.

This album is a beautiful 12″ x 12″ Queensberry matted press album with a black silk cover. It has ivory matted pages.

See the quality for yourself. Images below:

A 14 x 10 matted album with ivory pages and a twilight silk cover to give it a summery feel.

It was Chris & Mimi’s wedding, and a beautiful autumn wedding it was too.

Loving those those autumn colours. Who needs summer eh?

Make-Up Artist: Amanda Boland ( she’s fab by the way!)
Videographer: Eugene Whelan Of East Coast Video Productions ( a pleasure to work with)

First time at Ballymacgarvey Village. It used to be an old mill. Now the main house and smaller houses, originally built for the mill workers, have been beautifully restored.

You can tell its restoration has been a labour of love. It took many years and it shows.

A beautiful venue.  The scorching sunshine was perfect for Pimm’s on the lawn.

I posted a little sneaky peak a couple of week ago here.

First time shooting a wedding in Donegal. Hope I’m back soon!

Umm….well in fact you can’t but that doesn’t mean they can’t make an appearance!

And so it was with Eadaoin and Tims’s wedding when we returned to Kilsharvan House for the reception.

There was Big Ears (the horse) and their two adorable boxers, Stella & Bear. Stella is wearing the bow…..just in case you were wondering…….

I shoot equestrian portraits and I also shoot weddings, but this was the first time I combined the two. In a word, lovely!

Eadaoin’s dress was from  De Stafford Bridal

Make-Up was by Marena Duffy.

Their wedding was today ( or maybe I should say yesterday as it’s after midnight).

Blimey.

This place was an oasis of calm and beauty. I had heard of Tankardstown before but never had the pleasure of photographing a wedding here.

My God.

Whilst places less than 30 miles away experienced flood-like rain,  all we saw was the most beautiful summer’s day. We’re talking ‘Paramount Clouds’

I look with envy at countries with better weather, but when it’s good here,  it’s amazing. And when you are lucky to pick such a day for your wedding, you are truly blessed…….
