Peter Thomas Photography: The Blog

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:

Love the next one too:

One of the groomsmen was a bit over-enthusiastic

Now for two first dance photos:

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…

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…

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:

And to finish off with, a few nice bride photos:

I was pretty excited about my first trip to Lough Eske – really is a beautiful venue (so nice I’ve booked a wee weekend away there!). I did an engagement shoot a while back with Andrew & Dianna which was good craic – so was looking forward to the day!

Here’s a few photos:

Thought the flowergirl dress was kinda cute

Now to Lough Eske:

Love the next one:

The mother of the bride having a sneak peak out the door  

These look pretty lovely:

I realise I’ve posted a pic of this bow already – but really like it!

Black and red are two of my favourite colours. You’ll know that from my logo and the red sofa’s in the studio! So naturally I was very taken by Sarah & Stephen’s wedding detail – looked great!

Here’s a few photos:

Really love the next one:
    

Below – Slieve Donard is great for photos like this:

A wee trip back to the Manor House Hotel is always welcome – and even better when you have a couple like Keith & Julie!

So here’s a few photos. Before we go any further, I’d like to point out I’ve resisted posting any photos of shoes – the therapy must be working

Now to the church – love the shot of Keith’s Granny..

I always take a look around the back of churches – you never know what you’ll find. Came across this nice window – wasn’t sure which photo was best so here are all 4:

And now for the Manor House:

Love both of the next two:

And finally, the room looked class!

Back over to Donegal again for Wendy & Paul’s wedding. Was a really fun day and a great couple!

Here’s a few photos starting with the Wendy’s second best friend:

The weather was doing it’s thing – but it was good to get the umbrella out!

The lough at Harvey’s point is great:
