relaxed wedding photography

I had the pleasure of shooting Marie & Daves wedding in Clane on 28th December. The ceremony was in the lovely chapel in Clongowes Wood and the reception held in the Westgrove Hotel where the staff were ever so helpful. Marie & her bridesmaids looked fab and, despite the gale force winds and cold, managed to hide the goosebumps and look warm for a very speedy photoshoot of the bridal party (I think about 5 minutes !!). On arrival at the hotel the mulled wine reception went down a treat with the guests, and everyone was in great spirits heading for the reception suite. I have a few pics uploaded below so feel free to have a look (just click on any image for a larger version) and, if you know either Marie & Dave leave a message for them as they will be checking in while on honeymoon.

I had been looking forward to Nadine & Stephens wedding for a while, not only had I worked with Nadine previously (she had been bridesmaid at a wedding I covered last year) but the reception was at one of my favourite venues – Ballymagarvey Village. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play ball, on my arrival at the church the downpour started, continued through the ceremony in the beautiful Church of St Myra in Kinsealy and was still going when the ceremony finished. No meet & greet at the door, just a dash to the waiting car ! It was just as well that at the start of the mass, the priest told everyone to get out of their seats and to have a chat and introduce themselves to anyone & everyone nearby. This went down a storm with the congregation and set the scene for a lovely ceremony. On arrival at Ballymagarvey, the clouds parted and we were treated to glorious sunshine right up to the meal. I have uploaded a few pics from the day below, and, if you happen to know Nadine or Stephen, feel free to leave a message as they will be checking in on the blog while on honeymoon.
