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 & Ciaran 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

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.

Thank You – Elodie & Sean

Thank You Card
Words of gratitude from a happy couple

Elodie & Sean got married last year in Oughterard & had their reception in the Ardilaun Hotel. The bridal party along with the Jacquot & Tierney families were a pleasure to work with.
We took photos in the park by The Church of the Immaculate Conception & we stopped to pull a pint in the Angler’s Bar, Oughterard before making our way back to the Ardilaun. A warm welcome from Maureen awaited all when we arrived back & the celebrations continued until late. Elodie & friends surprised the groom & guests with a fantastic dance routine after the first dance. I never did find out what time the night ended, but I’d guess it was a late one 🙂
