Gary & Eithna – Corick House

January 3rd, 2012
4 comments

It’s hard to believe its a month since Gary & Eithna’s wedding – Christmas just went past so quick.

Gary & Eithna’s day was great craic. They got married just a few miles from where my wife used to live – all the best women must come from there :-) . And great to be back in Corick House too!

Here’s a few photos:



Love the next one:

      

The following was at Ardboe Cross…

And then to Corick:

    

Lovely natural couple:

The cufflinks are Boston Bruins – the ice-hockey team I used to go and see when I was living in Boston. Nostalgia :-)

Love the cake which was a surprise for Gary!
Make an entrance in style:

Darren & Rhona – Manor House Hotel

December 20th, 2011

I just noticed this verse, inscribed on one of Darren & Rhona’s wedding candles:

Love is patient, love is kind,
Love never fails.

And indeed love was never far away at Darren & Rhona’s wedding! Hopefully i’ve been able to capture just a weee bit of that in the photos – let’s take a look, starting with the very beautiful wedding invitation:

But enough about the invites, Rhona looked amazing:

Now for the service – there are loads of pictures but think these next few are a good summary:
  
Manor House is a great venue. It was rather cold (understatement) so took quite a few indoors – but not better place :-)

Love the next two:

An love the firstdance photo too!

Janine and Jonathan are a great couple. Was a really interesting day – with Janine being from just up the road, and Jonathan being American. Both are now living in the US. 23Nov was a great day – here’s a few photos, starting at the hairdressers:

Then over to the bride’s house:

   

Let’s meet the groom:

   

Love the next one at Belfast Castle:

One of the groomsmen was a bit over-enthusiastic :-) :-)

Lots of smiles! Thats the impression we got from the photos while editing them this week – lots of people enjoying themselves! The weather was very kind for this time of year – and lots of lovely wee details. Oh, and the first wedding with a Fiat 500 as the wedding car!

Here’s a few photos:

Alf & Ruth’s Wedding – Dunadry Hotel

November 30th, 2011

Great day with Ruth & Alf! Lovely couple, great weather – everyone was in great form!

Let’s start with a verse printed in Alf & Ruth’s invite, words that are always good to be reminded of:

“God can do anything, you know -

far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!

He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us,

his Spirit deeply and gently within us.”

Ephesians 3:20 (The Message) 

Ok, so for a few photos!! Starting with the brides preparations:

The flowergirl sure wasn’t shy :-)

 

Love the next one:

Below – the look says it all!

    

The Paparazzi :-)

  

Now to the Dunadry…

Gary & Janet – Mountstewart and Malone Lodge Hotel

November 29th, 2011
4 comments

My two lasting memories from Janet & Gary’s wedding was the banter (was great craic!) and ofcourse the red shoes (back to rehab for me :-) )

Great couple. I’ll talk you through the day – starting with the bride’s house and the Father of the Bride’s jacket…


A wee bit of lens flare just to ‘art’ it up a bit!
Now to the Temple of the Winds at Mount Stewart. Its an awesome venue, and the geek side of me still loves the window / door which slides downwards into the ground (below left)…

Think these next two photos sum up the couple pretty well…

After that, we headed down to Mount Stewart for a few photos.

Then back over to Belfast to the Malone Lodge, starting with a wee bridesmaid pic!

The theme was autumn / Halloween. loving the love shaped pumpkin…

    Sensational photos. Absolutely love them. The photographer has a real filmic eye. You two look fantastic and are both naturally photogenic. In 50 years time yous will be able to sit holding hands, looking at these photos and still swoon.

Craig & Katy – Malone Golf Club

Craig & Katy’s wedding was a fun day at a new location. I’ll talk  you through it – starting with some nice details and of course the dog.


Love the wedding stationary. The design carried through to kilt pins and everything. Impressed! :-)

The view from Katy’s parents home is beautiful…as was the bride!

Now for a few photos around the golf course. I got a sail on the back of one of these – was as happy as a pig in mud :-)
  
Nice food styling!

And I’ll leave you with this wee photo. My idea was to frame it with the wood pillars from the veranda but couldn’t get it all in. A wee bit of photoshop helped me out! The verse was part of the wedding ceremony…

Meet Kelly…

November 19th, 2011
No comments

Last week I shared the first of my ‘winter projects’. The first few of these projects are all aimed at delighting our customers – in other words making sure that I not only take great photographs, but that we deliver albums, prints etc in a timely manner. It’s easier said than done, so I’ve decided to take on a member of staff….

Meet Kelly, my new staff member. Kelly will be doing all sorts of things around here, from editing weddings to showing portrait customers their pictures. She’s also a talented photographer, so will be handy for two-photographer weddings!

Claire & Gordon’s wedding was exactly a month ago today – and it was a class day. You might remember them from their engagement shoot on the blog a while back. It was a really fun, relaxed day – with lots of smiles and laughs.

 

So, here’s a few photos:

  

Below: looks like a great book!

  

After the service in Armagh, we headed to the Ballymascanlon Hotel. It really is a great spot…

Love the next few:
   

Added a wee drop of grain to the next one. No reason why, just for the craic!

Had a bit of a blast at Colm & Grainne’s wedding! Was great..Arrived at the house in the morning and it was properly pouring down – but by the time we got to the Ballygally it had cleared up nicely for some beach pictures.

Here’s a few photos:

Love the next few:

Just keeping an eye on the photographer…

About the only photo Grainne and Colm actually asked me for:

    I love them. So beautiful and fun. The one thing you could say about Grainne and Colm is that they’re all about the fun and the duck picture is just a brilliant example of this!!!! I especially love the “nose” picture. Cant wait to see more.xx
