Mary & Kieran's Greenore Wedding

Mary & Kieran have probably waited the longest so I guess I’d better post them first, here’s a snippet of their day.

Mary’s family are good under pressure, they have to be they’re Irish Coast Guards, so something like a wedding was truly something to be enjoyed and stress free. A last minute haircut in the kitchen, some final ironing, there was even time to dress the dog, these people are organised! Following their ceremony in the Star of the Sea church we headed to the very picturesque Eustace Street for some quick photos with their bridal party before making our way to the Ballymascanlon House Hotel.  As Van Morrison would say when it’s not always raining there’ll be days like this, when theres no-one complaining there’ll be days like this and so it was.. a fantastic day with a fantastic couple, here’s to more days like this.

Eimear & Mark, Killany wedding

Eimear & Mark got married on a beautiful August day and their day was filled with emotion, from tears (all good!!) to giggles. It began with a handwritten note from Mark in the morning complete with photo of their beloved dogs (asking that she not be late) and continued through a very special solo from Eimears Dad at the ceremony, past their camogie guard of honour and all the way to a fun filled celebration at the Ballymascanlon House Hotel. I love when people can relax and soak up the joy of the moment, it’s what every good wedding should be!Ballymascanlon House Hotel Wedding photography

Laura & Jimmy's Carrickdale Hotel Wedding

I’m afraid the blog has been rather neglected over the past while but with the wedding season starting to slowly wind down hopefully I’ll discover a few more hours in the day to get back to posting. For today, heres just a snippet to keep you going from Laura & Jimmy’s wonderful wedding recently celebrated in St Patricks Church, Dundalk and then on to the Carrickdale Hotel. I had to find time to squeeze them in as they were a fantastic couple, completely laid back and unassuming and with eyelashes like Laura’s fluttering under a gorgeous fascinator she deserved to skip the queue!Laura & Jimmy St Patricks Dundalk, Carrickdale HotelLaura & Jimmy St Patricks Dundalk, Carrickdale HotelLaura & Jimmy St Patricks Dundalk, Carrickdale HotelLaura & Jimmy St Patricks Dundalk, Carrickdale HotelLaura & Jimmy St Patricks Dundalk, Carrickdale Hotel

Kim & James' Ballymascanlon House Wedding

Read any marketing advice and probably the first thing they’ll tell you to do is identify your ideal customer. Rather than string a load of adjectives together I think it would be easier for me to just point in the direction of Kim and James and say, there, theres my target market, it’s as much a feeling or connection as a group of words. I knew from our initial meeting that they were a genuinely nice couple who I would get along with so it was no surprise that on the day everything clicked into place.

As soon as I walked into Kim’s parents house I could tell how the banter and flow with the girls from Exhale was going that this was a very relaxed house. This was the first (and only) daughters wedding in the family but you’d be forgiven for thinking they were old hands at it given the giggles and easy mood in the kitchen. Being a “shoe girl”, it came as no shock to find a gorgeous pair of Jimmy Choo’s with matching purse in the bedroom, which despite the wobble later in the day (which no-one noticed so I wont elaborate!) Kim seemed to float in all day.

Fr Rush was a man after James’ heart, a self confessed techy guy who loves his gadgets and this is the first wedding I’ve done where the entire ceremony was conducted using an iPad. After the mass the sun shone and unless there is a major turnaround from Met Eireann it looks like they possibly got the best day of the summer, here’s some highlights from their wonderful day, thanks so much to both Kim and James for inviting me to be part of it!
