It was one of those days where it all came together nicely. A wonderful friendly couple, welcoming family & friends and a stunning venue with perfect weather. I was spoiled last year with some of the great days I got to document and this was no exception. I will let the pictures do the talking !
From an epic engagement shoot through to the dancing, Sam & Barrys wedding went like a dream. A nice relaxed atmosphere from start to finish and, to top it all off, some lovely words after the happy couple received their photos.
We can’t tell you how pleased we were with our own photos. You helped make the day the most memorable day of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience with your help. You will be happy to know we spent a number of weeks after we received them showing them off and raving to whoever would listen as to how happy we were with them. Thank you.
Winter weddings are not always dark & damp affairs, very often the days are crisp and, with the early sunsets (and if you know what you are doing !!) you can create wonderful warm images. We had limited time at Lyrath Estate during Eimear & Williams wedding, but, with the sun playing ball, and a bit of know-how, we came up with this shot and I quite like it.
If Carlsberg did weddings …….. Had the pleasure of heading down to Barntown Church in Wexford for the recent wedding of Samantha and Barry. Not only was I familiar with Barntwon, but I had photographed Barrys brothers wedding, and had photographed Samanthas sisters wedding so was familiar with both sets of families. I was also working with videographer Martin Healy (myweddinginHD.ie) with whom I shared a stage, albeit in different bands, back in the late eighties. The day had it all, a few drops of rain, missing trousers, belly laughs, tears and the stunning grounds of Mount Juliet (my one first for the day !!). It was a long day but the warmth & friendliness of Samantha, Barry & their families & friends meant it passed very quickly, add in an appearance from the singing waiters and an epic speech from Samanthas Dad, and it really was one of those days where everything came together. Hope you enjoy the few pics below. I’m currently taking bookings for 2018 & have some availability remaining for 2017 so feel free to get in touch 🙂
On the way down to Kilkenny for Bridget & Deans wedding I drove through some of the heaviest rain I have seen, but, by the time I arrived in Stoneyford, the rain had dried up and there were even glimpses of blue in the sky. After the lovely ceremony it was off to the stunning Butler House in Kilkenny City for photos before heading on out to the Newpark Hotel for the reception. One of the things I learned during the day was that you need to have the patience of a saint if you intend driving through Kilkenny at rush hour !!!
I have a few pics below from the day, just click on the play icon at the bottom right to get the slideshow going, and there is an option for fullscreen if you want. If you happen to know either Bridget or Dean, feel free to leave a message for them.
