2022 was such a special time to be photographing weddings. We've all been through a lot these last years. You could feel this at the weddings - a sense that people were holding on to loved ones tightly, and making the most of every moment together.
There were some empty chairs this year. But people went the extra mile to get to the side of the people they loved.
There was new life too. Surprise babies that arrived before rescheduled wedding days! Wide eyed kids experiencing their first huge family party.
And there was SO MUCH JOY at these weddings.
Reunions of families and groups of friends after many years. Really moving ceremonies, as couples promised each-other that they would navigate this crazy world together.
This comes through in the photography, I think. These pictures are all about relationships, tenderness, small moments of togetherness, lightness and messing.
Seeing the bar lined up with rows of Guinness again was a beautiful sight. There was so much laughter. A sense of unhinged abandonment on the dance floor.
God, we loved it. It's good to be back.
