Chris & Colleen's San Francisco Wedding

Chris & Colleen's Wedding on Mount Tamalpais, San Francisco

So, let's talk about this crazy wonderful Californian road-trip. 

Let's start with Chris and Colleen. Two amazing people, our good friends. Chris is one of Ireland's rising wedding photography stars. Colleen is a ridiculously talented vegan baker. Together they are an unstoppable crack team of adventure junkies. The plan was to start in the San Francisco hills - get married, party, go take some photos the next day...

'Hang site 2' on Mount Tamalpais was our ceremony destination. Where exactly this was, we didn't quite know. A lost driver and some time on local hang-glider forums later, we got there. They were married by their friend Shawn in a beautiful mountain-top ceremony. 

Soon after, we were eating the best vegan food I've ever tasted. Then a dive bar, some jazz and an hilarious coach-trip, and slowly day 1 ebbed into day 2. This was a quieter day, we spent a few hours wandering around forests, finding a lighthouse, Chris & Colleen catching their breath. Some of the portraits were shot then.

It was an enormous honour and a privilege to be part of this spectacular day. I'll never forget it. All the love to these amazing humans, Chris and Colleen. Wishing you many more happy adventures to come x

Ruth & Francis / Castle Leslie Estate Wedding

Ruth & Francis’ wedding at Castle Leslie

This wedding couldn’t be more Irish if it tried! Pints of Guinness and umbrellas everywhere. Ruth and Francis are complete legends though, and didn’t bat an eyelid at the rain. If anything, it was a good excuse to explore the inside of Castle Leslie itself.

Congratulations to two absolutely beautiful people, inside and out.

Brett & Ray's Wedding at Virginia Park Lodge, Ireland

Brett & Ray - Virginia Park Lodge Wedding Photographer

How can we even begin to tell you about Brett and Ray's wedding? All the feels. All the laughs. All the llamas. 

Brett in America meets Ray in Ireland - you can check out their love story on youtube at MrMr and Brett the Intern. A few years of long distance dating and visa wrangling, and they're in Virginia Park Lodge in Cavan, throwing the funnest wedding party of all time, with friends and family wiping happy tears from their eyes.

Obviously we need to talk about llamas. And paint bombs. And lip-synched dance routines. And Richard Corrigan's mashed potato (which is the best mashed potato in the history of the universe). But the photos that I love the most from Brett and Ray's day are the two of them together, hanging around the house, helping each other get ready. The sofa, the jackets, the way they look at each other... 

Extra helpings of mashed potato for Michelle, planner extraordinaire at Waterlily Weddings.

This one is actually from 2016. Whoops! We're serially slow bloggers. But hopefully fast wedding photo deliverers, which might make you forgive us just a little bit :) More soon. Pinky swear.
