Niamh + Simon - Donegal Wedding at Drumhalla House

Niamh + Simon - Drumhalla House Wedding Photography, Rathmullan

Another one of those weddings that gave us goosebumps. 

Niamh's grandad designed the church they got married in, a strange and beautiful circular structure in Donegal not far from Derry city. The church was modelled on the Grianán of Aileach, a 6th century ringfort and one of the royal seats of Gaelic Ireland, which sits on the hill above. We went there to take some portraits, returning to the spot where Simon first proposed. Can't help but wonder how many weddings this place may have seen through the centuries...

A quick boat ride across Lough Swilly to Rathmullan and we were soon at Drumhalla House, for a spectacular party. Special shout-out to Pyke 'N' Pommes - I have no idea how such amazing food for so many people comes out of a van!

A very big thank you to Niamh and Simon for having us be part of this unique and most excellent of days.

Dee + Dave - Ballyvolane House Wedding

Dave and Dee are two of Ireland's finest. It's hard not to notice the amount of warmth and goodwill people have towards them. Their wedding was a perfect reflection of their natural hospitality, kindness, generosity and good humour... It was an amazing privilege to be there.

I must confess that the thought of shooting Dave & Dee's wedding had me reaching for the imodium! Dave happens to be a ridiculously good wedding photographer, and the thought of shooting multi-talented food-blogger Dee was not taken lightly...

But I needn't have worried. Ballyvolane House always feels like a home from home anyway, thanks to Justin and Jenny's amazing hospitality. And when I walked through the door, Dave & Dee welcomed me in to the most laid-back, insanely fun house party ever. What's more, the guys gave me access all areas and total creative freedom - which has got to be all the raw material a photographer needs. So these images are absolutely a collaboration, between Dave & Dee and me, as well as their friends and families. 

Thanks so much guys for having me along.

And I'll leave it up to you to figure out who actually owns those orange gloves :)

Hung + Mark - Tuscany Wedding Photography

Hello again! We've been pretty quiet on the blog lately, but we've been working hard behind the scenes pulling everything together for our new site. And here it is :)

Big thanks to Tim Farrell, our designer.

We've so many weddings we're dying to blog. No better place to start than with the Tuscan goodness that was Hung & Mark's wedding. Hung & Mark brought together Irish, Australian and Vietnamese families and friends from all over the world to the amazing Villa Catagnano in Siena. The ceremony was a real highlight - outdoors at the villa, combining Zen Buddhist, Celtic and Vietnamese traditions, and officiated by Mark's brother. It was a privilege to be there to photograph it all. And to eat the dinner :)

Hung & Mark's day has also been featured on Junebug.
