Ruth & Diarmuid’s Cabra Castle Wedding

Ruth & Diarmuid's Cabra Castle Wedding

I cant believe it’s February already and I’m only getting around to my first post of the year but it’s a good one to start with!

Ruth and Diarmuid got married in Kilkerley Chapel close to Ruth’s home and continued their celebration in the lovely Cabra Castle on a beautiful day ( I’m sure the child of Prague had something to do with it). There were so many things I loved about this wedding, not least of all Ruth’s fantastic dress complete with pockets – how fantastic is that, somewhere to store your lippy safely all day!

The scones, oh I had to include a pic of the scones, both myself and the videographer Joe were treated to homemade scones and lemonade while the girls got the gladrags on and we both agreed Ruth’s Mum should patent her recipe – when there’s an Irish version of the great bake off I’m putting her name down! Knowing Ruth’s sister runs her own hair salon I was expecting wonderful things in the gruaig department and I wasn’t disappointed, a very classic style with simple flowers was just perfect, understated and elegant pretty much like everything else on the day. Her very glam Granny was there to greet her at the church door and make sure that the horseshoe she carried up the aisle on her own wedding day was safe in Ruth’s hands.

I love working with school teachers, you can pretty much bet on the fact that there are lists involved and everything is organised to a t, Ruth had thought of the whole kit and caboodle and on top of everything else made her own personal table settings & guest signing table. I’ve just realised that I’m giving Ruth all the credit-I’m pretty sure Diarmuid had a hand in all this too, sorry Diarmuid! Anyway here’s a peek at their wedding day, enjoy!

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!
