Michael & Roisin - 3rd October 2009
July 22, 2010 | Category: Wedding
A fun morning, everybody buzzing around finalizing the last minute preparations, make-up hair etc… the air filled with excitement, everyone was looking forward to the day that was to follow. Roisin has arranged a surprise for Michael which seen Michael arriving at the chapel in some style.
After the ceremony the family portraits and bridal party shots were taken at Parkanaur. A simply beautiful location with the benefits of an elegant drawing room where I was able to make good use of the light coming through the window. Although a little bit cold we had the advantage of a large blue sky which adorned around the house, continuing to give us a backdrop for some fantastic images.
In our wedding plan meeting we discussed different and unusual locations for their album and to my amazement, Roisins came up with a really ????? location for some different photos. Again Roisin thanks for ‘thinking outside the box’
The wedding continued on at a lavish reception in the Glenavon Hotel, Cookstown were there was plenty of craic & entertainment with Patsy O’Hagan humouring the guests.
The dancing continued long into the night as everybody enjoyed a great day.
Thanks Michael & Roisin for the chance to capture your wedding day.
Sean & Tracey - 2nd October 2009
July 22, 2010 | Category: Wedding
What a fun-filled wedding ! A crisp, bright sunny morning started with a hunt on the shores of Lough Neagh. Sean was accompanied by his best man, groomsman, pageboy and two black Labradors on the hunt for some morning fowl.
It was great craic capturing these men doing what they love, although I have to say wouldn’t be the greatest shot in the world all of them missing two ducks that rose in front of them. Some great shots ‘not gun’ were achieved that morning and led to a relaxed fun packed day ahead.
When arriving at the brides house I found everyone to be calm, chilled, relaxed and excited about the big day, as I captured the usual getting ready shots. Mum was busy in the kitchen preparing for the party back at the house.
After the ceremony we returned to the brides house were we continued in the beautiful gardens to capture the family portraits; unfortunately having to duck in and out of a few rain showers.
Weather permitting we were to head to the Battery for some more bridal shots. Well I have to say the following was the best craic I have had capturing photos of a wedding so far. We all headed out into Lough Neagh in Sean’s fishing boat, the bridal party enjoyed a few beverages as the best man tested out the top speed on Sean’s fishing boat. The screams and laughter filled the air as we circled out on the Lough coming into shore again on the appearance of a dark cloud.
When we got back onto dry land the party continued with a game of pool in the Battery bar.
The day then followed with a reception in the Greenvale in Cookstown.
The party I would say continued into the ‘wee’ small hours.
A big thank-you to Sean & Tracey for following up on our ideas that we spoke about at your pre-wedding plan meeting. It will take some beating !
