I hadn’t actually met either Louise or Ciaran before their wedding in Mount Wolesley on New Years Eve but I needn’t have worried. Not only were they both incredibly laid back, but we had a huge number of things in common – including the fact that the Ciarans dad used to be my boss way back in my civil service days !!! The day started with torrential rain in Carlow but had dried up before the lovely ceremony in the hotel. We had a quick dash out to the stunning gardens for a few photos then Louise & Ciaran headed back to the hotel in a very trendy golf buggy !! The staff in the hotel couldn’t have done any more to help, so a great day was had by all. I have a few pics below which hopefully capture the atmosphere of the day, just click the play icon on the bottom right to start the slideshow. There is also an option for fullscreen and, if you happen to know Louise, Ciaran (or both!!) feel free to leave a message for them as the will be checking in from time to time.

The stars & stripes were flying outside the peoples church in Clongowes Wood as Anna & Richie travelled over from Chicago for their wedding on a cold & windy (but dry !!) December day. After a lovely ceremony it was off to Kilashee House by way of a vintage (well my age !!) double decker bus to be welcomed warm turf fires and hot scones & cream. I have a few photos below and hopefully you can get an idea of the day. Just hit the play icon on the bottom right and the slideshow should start (there is also an option for fullscreen). If you happen to know either Anna or Richie (or both) feel free to leave a message for them.

It was back down to the Step House Hotel or Nicola & Rays wedding on the 07th December. Borris is fast becoming a “local” for me as I was welcomed by both the church sacristan, and Angela in the Step House by name !! Nicola & her bridesmaids looked stunning and even kept the goosebumps under control despite the cold, but we didn’t stay for photos for long as the blazing fires and mulled wine in the hotel were calling !! With a great couple, welcoming families & friends & fab locations I hope I did the day proud.

I was delighted when I got Elaine & Daves booking to handle their wedding photos as, not only were they a very relaxed couple, but their reception was in the Step House Hotel in Borris, one of my favourite venues in Ireland. The morning started very calmly with Elaine, her two sisters & mother chilling out and sipping champagne while getting their hair & make-up done. When I got to the church the lads were shaking, but that probably had something to do with the baltic weather conditions rather than nerves. After a lovely ceremony in the church in Borris, it was 5 mins up the road to the Step House, decorated for Christmas (a bit earlier than normal, but Elaine & Dave are big Christmas fans) and with the open fires blazing. Unfortunately the weather just got worse so we couldn’t manage any outdoor pics, but this meant everyone kept warm !!

I have a few pics from the day below, and, if you happen to know either Elaine or Dave (or both!) feel free to leave a comment. Just click on the play icon (bottom right) to start the slideshow and there is also an option for full screen if you wish.

In the wedding photography business it’s very rare to get a last minute booking, usually bookings are 12-18 months in advance, so, I was surprised when I got an enquiry from Aishling & Bar with only 2 weeks to go to their wedding !! When we met for a chat Aishling told me she might be a bit giddy on the day and she was true to her word. She spent the whole morning and all the ceremony laughing & giggling, followed by an hours hugging up to the reception meal !!!

The venue was the stunning Leixlip Manor and the weather was just about perfect for photos and with everyone enjoying themselves on the patio there was a great buzz throughout the whole day.

I have uploaded a small selection of photos below as a “sneak peak” so feel  free to have a look. Just click on the play button on the bottom right, and, if you happen to know Aishling & Bar feel free to leave a comment for them as they will be checking in from time to time.

One word can sum up Marion & Donnys wedding – WOW !! From the individual touches, handmade candles, cool retro table planner, fab wedding car (Citroen CX), the stunning venue (Bellinter House) through to the extremely helpful staff, I could go on, as even the weather got in on the act and behaved !!  A lovely ceremony was held in Culmullen Church followed by champers in the grounds of the hotel. Before we knew it, the guests were heading into the marquee allowing Marion & Donny a bit of “chill-out” time before the partying resumed.
