A wonderful day in Ballykealey with Emer, Oliver and their families and friends. The weather was perfect and Ballykealey delivered as usual. Preps were on site and the ceremony was held in the forest. Emer & Oliver went for the extended coverage from preps to first dance and wanted a laid back approach to their photos, like everyone, they wanted those “must have” shots but they also wanted plenty of time to mingle with their guests and enjoy the drinks reception. A little bit of pre-planning ensured this, and the photos capture their relaxed manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
