Alaa & Issam's Morocco Wedding / Beldi Country Club, Marrakech

Alaa & Issam - Beldi Country Club Wedding Photography

What a privilege it was to second shoot for our good friend Tomasz Wagner earlier this year.  And Alaa & Issam’s wedding is definitely one to remember... An amazing mix of Saudi Arabian, Yemeni and Moroccan traditions. All in the Beldi Country Club, a rustic rose farm in Marrakech. With ace wedding planners Boutique Souk at the helm (creative legends who happen to originate from Ireland - just sayin!).

I love the colour and movement in these photos. This was the first time I've been a second shooter since the very beginning of TML. And it was brilliantly freeing to be able to shoot creatively and playfully, safe in the knowledge that Tomasz was doing the heavy lifting! What ridiculously lovely images he made too - you can check out his own blog here. There are more photos, and some notes from Alaa, on Green Wedding Shoes.

A huge thanks to friends, old and new, for the Moroccan adventures. And to Alaa and Issam for letting us share some of their story.

Sophie & Tom's Wedding at Ballymagarvey Village

Sophie & Tom - Ballymagarvey Village Wedding Photography

Sophie and Tom's wedding makes us feel good about the world. Beautiful people, right down to the core. So much soul and goodness at their day in Ballymagarvey Village last August. Two musicians, with insanely talented musician families and friends. I've never heard such amazing sounds at a wedding.

By the way, dear readers, thanks for bearing with us through the recent radio silence! We fell over into a big heap after building the house and have spent the off-season devoting a bit of time to our own souls, and to the kidlets... So excited to be back in the middle of the wedding roller-coaster now though. 2016 - let's get it on!! 

Sophie & David's Paris Wedding - Le Marais & le Couvent des Récollets

Sophie & David - Le Couvent des Récollets Paris Wedding Photography

Ah this wedding... the photos take me right back to a perfect Parisian summer. Strolling through le Marais with Sophie & David, eating and drinking our way through their favourite spots in the city, the light in the church of Saint-Merri stopping me in my tracks, the wonder of the reception at the disused monastery, le Couvent des Récollets. Our airbnb host was even a clown for pete's sake... 

This was our first Paris wedding and it's hard to imagine a better one. Sophie and David were all about their guests having a good time. We love that about our couples. It's never just all about them. A good time doesn't even begin to cover it though. Their wedding was a glorious riot of colour, passion and mischief.

Big thanks also to planners Marie-Emilie and Noémie from Mon Plus Beau Jour for making our job so easy...
