It was back back to the highways & byways on Friday 10th. from Narraghmore to the beautiful Crookstown Church and then on to the Johnstown House Hotel & Spa for the reception. As Lynnette & Eamonn live in Australia they had to arrange everything from afar, and it took some organising to ensure that everything was right on the day, and it was, even the weather, which had been forecast as heavy rain, behaved itself. The fabulous crockery, which had been ordered in seperately, added a classic touch, along with the individual table settings / favours and the childrens table was packed with enough sweets & activity packs to keep an army of them happy.  Have uploaded just a few of the many pics taken to hopefully give you an idea of the day. Hope you enjoy them, just click on any of them for a (slightly) larger version and, if you are a friend of the happy couple, feel free to leave a messge for them as they will be checking in regularly.

I was a bit apprehensive arriving to photograph the wedding of Hazel & Kieran last Saturday – 28th May. For some reason, Hazel had a fear of getting her photo taken and had basically told me that she really didn’t want any pics taken of her !! I don’t know why she was so nervous as she looked fab, turning up in a Delorean which was in keeping with the eighties theme of the wedding. The tables were all dressed with retro sweets & pin badges, they even managed to find those red plastic fish that curl up and tell you your fortune. The table plan was done up in an A-Team style, there was a frame at the bottom of the stairs & props for polaroid shots of the (willing) guests in various poses, and it was all set off by the lads and their simple dress code – wear your converse. The simple yet touching ceremony was held in a marquee on the grounds of Malahide Rugby Club with the reception being held in the clubhouse, and, the day went so well, with such a relaxed atmosphere (helped by the 99’s on demand) that Hazel did let me take a few shots of herself & Kieran and I think you will agree that they look great together (check out the shoes !). So, if you have a problem (such as being camera shy), if no-one else can help and if you can find me, maybe you can hire me and watch as my plan comes together !

I am really looking forward to processing the images from this unique wedding, but, for the time being, I have uploaded a few draft shots below. Just click on any of them for a (slightly) larger version. Hope you enjoy.
