Debbie and I met, 15 years ago, when we were studying foundation art in Limavady College….the place where I fell in love with photography. So when Debbie emailed me from Australia to ask us to photograph her wedding, I was so buzzed.

Debbie & Shanes day felt super special, being so far from home means that times when all the family are together are so important. And I could feel it, all day…from the chats I had with her mum and dad, to the heartfelt speeches…these moments felt precious, moments we felt honoured to capture…

Its the morning of the 27th of December, your full of turkey and fizz, wondering what day of the week it is…your thinking about whether you should even get out of your jammies…Not Dawn and Matthews crew, they were getting glammed to the max, excited for the day ahead.

I loved my morning with these girls, squeals of excitement a plenty, one of my favourite reveals of all time and a couple of super cute flower girls…

This day was pure glitz..mix that with some beaut winter light and how could I go wrong?

Winter weddings…what a joy…all that magical light and not to mention christmas decorations, roaring fires & fur coats a plenty..

John & Nualas day at the amazing Tankardstown House was a reflection of their class & impeccable taste.

Mel & i just fell in love with their amazing family, I’m so excited to finally share this one with you all.

Lets kick it back to over a month ago, when this unreal summer was just starting… a balmy late May, with the incredible Armagh Cathedral and the opulent Castle Leslie as a backdrop, Mel and I sailed through the day with the most gorgeous bunch.

A crew who were up for anything, hilarious speeches, craic a flowing and a bitta floss dancing thrown in for good measure #2018DANCECRAZEHYPE

Take a gander at this beauty…

Stephen & Fergus got hitched a couple of months ago in the fabulous Langton’s Hotel. A hotel, which from the outside, looks like a typical little kilkenny pub, but opens up to one of the most stylish, contemporary wedding venues i have ever seen… all those gorgeous features with natural light dancing over them were such a suiting backdrop for these two grooms..we hardly wanted to go outside…from the beautifully personal humanist ceremony to the dancing, these two and their guests had a ball…check it out…glorious…

We had such a blast shooting Susan & Robs day, the morning was super chilled with lots of great coffee, great tunes and a bit of warm up dancing.

Pete navigated his way around the rented house where Robs family were staying, rucksacks and suitcases housing the great traditional Scottish attire donned by the lads. A quick walk to the church for the ceremony, then a dander down to Deanes, stopping along the way for some portraits...pure chilled beautness.

Lots of Guinness and some hilarious speeches later, the dancefloor filled quicker than i have EVER seen, so what could we do but join in? Such a fun day with great people...

Emma & Barrys big day in Bellingham castle was pure class. Emma & her bridal party got ready in the incredible Bellingham Estate, a beautiful house right next to the castle with fabulous hosts. 

You could tell Emma had thought about every little detail of the day, but what was really apparent to me from the outset, was that Emma & Barry wanted everyone to have the best time...These two have the BIGGEST hearts, full of generosity for those special in their life and beyond...

This is an incredibly elegant affair yet very relaxed, just love family & friends....what more could you ask for....oh...well...a beautiful sunset and they got that too...enjoy...

You'll have to forgive me if iv gone a little over board with this one, but this is Pete, one half of Laura J Curran, so you'll understand if I pure spam your faces off with their wedding day magic.

We had been having quite a nice early summer, then the rain started and didn't really stop for a few weeks. Pete and Rachel wanted a big summer wedding party at Rachels parents farmhouse, so when they were hanging paper lanterns with the rain beating off the marquee and putting lights on the trees in huge raincoats, there dream seemed slightly out of reach. But they were in luck, the day came and sun did too...in spades!

They spent their day outside sipping champs, playing beer pong and enjoying Rachels parents incredible garden. When it was time to eat, summer bbq food in the marquee with all the doors open to let the breeze rip through...

This really was a family affair, with all lending a hand to create a beautiful, colourful DIY wedding day. The flowers were created by Rachels mum Joanne of Grey Barn Floral, Petes mum Annette made the incredible wedding cake. And with every aunt, cousin, brother, sister playing a part in the decorating, you could tell everyone felt part of something.

We danced the night away (yes me too) into the wee hours filled with love, laughter and with a few beads of sweat on our brows...pure magic...

When I think back to Lucy & Michaels spring wedding day, it was bright and breezy but still cool. We ventured to malt mills, under trees and walked the coast. Lucy & Michael trusted our judgement as photographers completely and boy did it pay off... Take a look at this beautiful, gentle warm couple celebrate their love with their closest family and friends...pure orange tree magic...
