winter wedding

by

My last wedding of 2020 was such a great day. Held during Covid restrictions Derrick & Emma were a joy to work with. Not only did they look uber-cool, they didn’t mind the rain or trekking across the city for some great street shots as well as visiting a few hidden gems for a picture perfect afternoon. This day proved that small weddings can be such wonderful days, and also that my home city of Dublin can provide fab backdrops for photos if you know your way around. “We would like Christmas shots, some city shots and most importantly shots with Bonnie (their dog)” – a simple brief made the day a breeze. With the ceremony in the great City Hall we had easy access to a few hidden walks as well as a planned route up towards Stephens Green to take in the lights. Hopefully the shots below can give you an idea of the day and perhaps some inspiration if you are planning a small celebration. Enjoy 🙂

On Sunday 18th December I had the pleasure of shooting Lisa & Andys wedding in the stunning Barberstown Castle. As a venue I love covering weddings there as it has great grounds, great indoors and very helpful staff. I arrived at Lisas house and everything was nice & calm, but, as often happens on the mornings, the time just flew, and before long everyone was milling around and the rescue remedy was out !! Barberstown was done up beautifully and the ceremony took place in the conservatory. Lisa, Andy and little Jamie all took part in a lovely sand ceremony and before long they were marching down the aisle as Mr & Mrs. My brief for the day was quite simple (and suits my photographic style) – very little time to be spent on posed shots. They wanted relaxed & informal photos and with laughs aplenty and a magician (Magic Daniel) wowing the guests there was plenty of scope for this. For a change I hung on for the speeches & first few dances but it was well worth it for the extra photos. I have uploaded a selection of photos below (had trouble whittling them down) and, if you happen to know Lisa or Andy please feel free to leave a message for them. Just click on any photo for a slightly larger version.
