I always like visiting new venues and was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived at Ashley Park House for the first time. Such a wonderful lakeside venue which matched Martina & Steves retro vibe so well. I had met Martina & Steve a couple of times, firstly over coffee and then out along the beach for an engagement shoot so I knew that it was going to be a very relaxed affair. From the preps in the blink and you miss them Lough Derg Cottages in Puckaun, right up to the dancing, the whole thing was stress free and quite informal, and we even got a few shots between the speeches and dancing, just before the rain started. Have a look through the images below, hopefully they capture the vibe and atmosphere of the day.

So excited to be sharing this wedding on the blog. Siobhan & Kerril had one of those days where everything fell nicely into place. The fab Lyrath Estate was the venue, the weather behaved and when I arrived I was delighted to meet both Leanne from Vow to Wow hairstylist & Dawn from Glamour by Dawn (the local dream team !!) so I knew the girls would be in safe hands. Both Siobhan & Kerril were so great to work with, no fuss, laid back and most importantly – ready to kiss on command !!! I really enjoyed being part of their big day and was delighted with how the final photos turned out with one of them winning an award with the IPPA / Bank of Ireland photographer of the yer 2017. Hope you enjoy the images below.
Sometimes you get spoiled shooting weddings, this was the case for Jessica & Gearoids big day at the Village at Lyons. The weather forecast was poor, but it cleared up nicely, the venue, as I knew from previous visits, is one big fantastic photo op., and the couple, their family & friends were so friendly, relaxed & welcoming it all added up to the perfect storm for weddings. The day, although a long one, was so much fun to shoot. The couple both got ready at the venue, wonderful roomy houses by the lake, the ceremony was held in the stunning reception room with the noise from the waterfall in the background and then the drinks in the courtyard with what must be the only toilet trained Doves in Dublin. I only have a few images below, but hopefully they will give you an idea of the day. I’m currently taking bookings for 2018 & have some availability remaining for 2017 so feel free to get in touch 🙂
