100 years!
A screenshot from the wedding I filmed yesterday: this is the groom Shane’s granny who is 100 years young! Fit as a fiddle and enjoying every minute of the day. She was even serenaded by Tropical Storm who provided the musical entertainment for the drinks reception and during the dinner. We hope she enjoys the finished Wedding DVDs!
Maria and Shane were a lovely relaxed couple to work with. Luckily we got a break in the rain once we arrived at Carton House, Maynooth.
Joining me on the day was the ever-talented official photographer Jenny McCarthy (www.photosbyjen.ie) and ably assisted by Barbara. I work with these gals a lot. We seem to frequently end up shooting in Castle Durrow for some reason!
Wishing Shane and Maria all the best for the future, enjoy the honeymoon guys!
Ruth & Conor
Ruth and Conor were married in Tullow, Co. Carlow back in December and had their reception in the Mount Wolseley Hotel nearby. I had met Ruth a couple of times before the wedding and Conor just the once. I knew from meeting them that they were going to be great craic on the big day and I was right!
The official photographer was Garrett Byrne from Arklow who kept all the troops in line and got some great shots from the day.
Here is a black and white version of their highlights clip. Please feel free to leave comments below.
Lisa & Nick
Lisa & Nick tied the knot in Raheny and afterwards held their reception in The Summerhill House Hotel in Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow. I only live 15 minutes away from this venue! Both Lisa & Nick opted for a black & white version of their highlights – a lovely classical memory of their big day. Photographer on the day was Andrew Miller, a true gent to work with.
The clip is set to Tom Baxter – Better, the very same track was used for Sandra and Colm in my last uploaded wedding clip. Couples choose their own music and given that this is the perfect wedding song, I’m not suprised that it was randomly selected twice in a row! It fits perfectly.
Barberstown Castle : Wedding Ceremony & Reception
This was the moment just after Michelle and Mike were pronounced husband and wife after a beautiful wedding ceremony at Barberstown Castle, Straffan, Co. Kildare earlier today.
Michelle was a laugh a minute all day. Mike was clearly enjoying every second! Eddie Scheffer was the wedding photographer. I had met Eddie before in a previous life but in a social situation as opposed to a work situation. So today was our first wedding working together and naturally we got on like a house on fire. I really liked Eddie’s relaxed and professional approach to the day. He was a quick shooter too, no messing about! I look forward to the next time that we end up working together.
Barberstown Castle is one of the places that I love to film a wedding. Today I was double blessed because the civil ceremony took place there too – so everything was self-contained. I would imagine that it is difficult for wedding guests not to enjoy themselves at this venue. Lovely decor in a medival but modern style, friendly staff & management and great food are just some of the reasons that make this a great wedding venue. Always a pleasure to work in.
Tulfarris House, Blessington Lakes, Wicklow
Chloe & Dave met in Australia on Valentines Day, 14th February 2005 and had their amazing wedding reception in Tulfarris House overlooking the Blessington Lakes exactly 4 years later. Everyone was blessed with the weather. Considering we had just come out of 2 weeks of snow, the only trace of snow left on Saturday was on the mountains behind the lakes – a breathtaking backdrop.
Chloe & Dave were great to work with on the day, both were good fun and really enjoyed their day. I can’t wait to start editing their footage and putting it together for them. It will be a few weeks though because I’m still working my way through a (getting smaller) backlog.
I almost forgot to talk briefly about Tulfarris House! What a place! It was slightly confusing at first not knowing which building to drive to in order to capture the couple arriving. But once we sorted that out, the management and staff were nothing but professional and welcoming. I look forward to filming more weddings at this venue.
