A & J - A Beautiful wedding in Markree Castle.

When I tell you Aisling was one of the happiest brides on her wedding day from start to finish, it is not an understatement! From the minute I walked in to the house that morning back in May, the atmosphere was full of laughter and screams of delight! I had previously captured Aisling’s bridesmaid Michelle’s wedding so it was so good to see her as bridesmaid and catch up as well!

Tom spent the morning with the lads and we later met up at the beautiful venue of Markree Castle for the ceremony and festivities. Weatherwise, it was pretty much a wash out for the day so sadly we didn’t get to make use of the amazing gardens but that didn’t dampen any spirits on the day!

These guys were all about the fun! Tom and I had a blast capturing lots of moments for them! So without further ado, check out some highlights below!

L & K - An intimate Summer wedding in Bray!

I first met L&K last year when L proposed to K in Dublin Zoo during the wild lights festival. It was a nerve wracking experience to say the least! It turned out amazing and so began the 6 months of planning! The girls wanted to keep things low key and get married quietly in Bray with their two witnesses. It was amazing to be there to capture their intimate ceremony before heading down to the Harbour bar (love that place!)

Later that day I joined back up with them as they threw a joint wedding/ 30th birthday party in the Church bar in town! It went off brilliantly and myself and Tom loved capturing it all.

I’m delighted to keep in touch with these two on Instagram and keep up with their everyday adventures.

L & E - A sweet pre wedding shoot in Dun Laoghaire!

Couple shoot / Just Us / Engagement Shoots / Pre wedding Shoots - They all intend to have the same results. To not only have some beautiful keepsake memories to treasure from this exciting time in your lives before you stand in front of your loved ones and declare your love for each other, but to also get comfortable with your photographer!

As your photographer, I am probably one of the few people who is with you all day, witnessing so many moments and being really attentive to what’s happening. So it’s really important to me that the couple is comfortable, happy and heard! It’s so important that you have someone on the day who really cares about you and your day!

Back to recently when I met up with L & E in Dun Laoghaire for their mini E-shoot and from the minute I met them, I knew we were going to get on amazingly on their wedding day! I can’t wait to shoot their day tomorrow! Keep an eye out for a future blog!

H & G - A Beautiful Summer shoot in Dublin

When H got in touch with me through Instagram wondering if I would do an extended couple shoot in Dublin City I was super excited! I love shooting in Dublin City and getting the chance to stroll through the city and then out to a nearby park and beach to get a variety of portraits with outfit changes? Yes please!

We had so much fun strolling and chatting over several hours though the city before I drove them out to nearby St Anne’s Park and Dollymount Strand. I love that my job enables me to meet so many fantastic people from all over the world and hear their stores :)

A & C - A stunning sunset shoot up Killiney Hill

I loved that these guys booked me for their engagement session two days before it! They were hoping for that golden light near sunset vibe and wow, did we get it!

It was a dull Sunday all day so I didn’t have much hope but the weather Gods had other ideas and they sure did deliver!

A & C and their gorgeous dog Sasha joined us on a little hike up Killiney Hill where we watched the sunset over Dublin Bay. We had so much fun chatting about life and their own plans for the wedding next year!

So without further ado, here are some of our favourites from that day! Big thanks to the husband the Candid Man for hanging out and taking some of these gorgeous wide shots you see below :)

A & R - A day of laughter and happy tears in Clontarf Castle!

A&R came all the way over from Wisconsin to tie the knot in the lovely Clontarf Castle last May! Tom and I had so much fun with them and there closest family members and friends. It was a small wedding of less than fifty people and was beautifully intimate. You could feel the love in the room!

The lads got ready together with friends and there was a couple of whiskeys and laughs had before heading downstairs to say their I do’s. Tom was on hand to help tie the ties and button holes as usual!

The ceremony full of happy tears and laughs and performed beautifully. Katie Hughes provided the beautiful music for the occasion.

Afterwards it was onto the drinks reception while we headed out for a few minutes to take some portraits out front. The lads treated everyone to an epic Game of Thrones themed entrance into dinner to plenty of laughter! There was even som GoT cookies on hand!

Once it was time to ready the dancefloor, we were treated to an unreal performance by an Irish dancing troop which got everyone going before the lads performed their first dance. After this, Tom got in between everyone and got some fantastic shots of everyone busting moves! We didn’t want to leave!!

So here’s to A&R. May they have many more decades celebrating love to come!
