Engagement shoot with Mary & Gearoid

By

Mary & Gearoid called in recently for their practise shoot before their big day later this year.  It’s a light hearted session & we had a bit of fun while getting a bit of practise in before the big day.

Reminder:  I encourage all of my wedding couples to pop into me for their complimentary shoot & I’ll hand over all images so that you can use them for your invites, personal printing & framing or to decorate your venue on your wedding day (eg. signing board, use on table names etc)

I started offering the practise shoot as an offer a while back but it worked out so well for both the couple & myself (builds rapport for the big day) that I’m happy to continue with this offer for all wedding bookings.

Joanne & Tom

By

Had a great day with Joanne & Tom with their families & friends recently.  Started the day with Joanne in Tuam where herself & Bridget were getting ready at home with Dad, Martin overseeing the preparations.  It was lovely calm & relaxed atmosphere & it was easy to see that the girls were very organised.  Before the wedding ceremony in Belclare church, I caught up with groom Tom & his best man, another Martin who were greeting guests.  The speed van was parked outside so I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the camera operators but they remained ever anonymous, unless they mingled with the crowds undetected 🙂

After a lovely ceremony by Fr Flaherty, the bridal party headed to Knockma woods for some photos.  The trees were in full blossom & the place was alive with walkers & dogs & lots of well wishers.  We didn’t linger too long there before heading back to the ever welcoming Karina in the Clayton Hotel.  The foyer area was buzzing with wedding guest activity & we were guided into the function room for a sneak peek before guests arrived.  The room & cake was stunning & fit for a royal banquet.

A great day had by all & another wonderful couple who make me blessed to do what I do.

Thank you Joanne & Tom x❤️x

Bernie & Kieran

By

Bernie & Kieran did their practise shoot with me a couple of months ago in preparation for their wedding later this month.  The Quad in NUIG makes an ideal location as it’s got lots of natural props & it’s usually quiet in there, any time of year.  Plus, the light is always nice.  A very easy going couple so looking forward to working with them again very soon 😀

Geraldine & Sebastian

By

I met Geraldine, Sebastian & their son James a few weeks before their wedding for a pre-wedding shoot.

I was really looking forward to their intimate wedding day which all centred around the Glenlo Abbey; from preps to ceremony & the reception.

Geraldine got ready in the hotel with Seb & James & other family members getting ready in a B&B across the road.  It was all very nearby making it stress free to go between the two.  James was very cute on the morning but I’m not at liberty to share those images – maybe he’ll post them when he’s older 🙂

The family gathered in the old Abbey for the lovely ceremony.  After the family photos, the bride, groom & I headed into the city for some fun & a location shoot.  They were greeted with warmth & smiles on the city streets & we took a break in Tigh Neactain’s where I’m sure Pub Spy would give a 10/10 for their perfect pints!  We headed over to the Quays, just for a quick outdoor photo when the couple were accosted by a couple of guys who wanted to buy them a pint 🙂

All to soon we had to head back & when we did, there was time to mingle before the dinner bell call.

All wedding days go quickly.  One minute it’s the preparations & before you know it, it’s the dinner bell.  But this is especially the case when a couple & their families are really great to work with & be around.  This was definitely the case with Geraldine & Sebastian.  All meetings & particularly their wedding day, were a real pleasure.  Thank you guys.
