I was asked by the super talented Aisling of Rangoli and Tara of Cupcake Me! to do a photoshoot incorporating both their businesses. Why? Because they are sisters, and both super talented at what they do. I jumped on board because I knew I could use the photographs to promote Irish suppliers to Irish brides. Cupcakes are definitely a trend for wedding cakes and I’ve not seen cuter cupcakes than Tara’s! Tara’s attention to detail and the time she spends creating the intricate detailing on each cake astounds me.

Aisling created the gorgeous hairband that was worn by Claire, one of my brides, on her wedding day. You may remember Claire and Eddie’s 2 part wedding post. These girls are truley talented. If you’re considering a cupcake tower for your wedding or wanting a customised piece of jewellery, Aisling and Tara are your girls!

Triona and Louis were married in the quaint town of Glandore in West Cork. When I arrived in the morning the sun was shining. It is the most picturesque location for a wedding. When the sun is shining in Glandore it’s like you’re not in Ireland anymore, it’s as if you’ve been transported to some beautiful spot in the mediterannean. It took my breath away, and so did the bride and groom. Triona and Louis were so calm, so in love, and so great in front of the camera. Triona and Louis had a short blessing at the chuch on the grounds of The Rectory. With the town just at our footstep there was endless possiblilites for photos. If time allowed I could have photographed the two of them all day.

The Rectory was beautiufully decorated with little touches of nautical themes as Triona and Louis both have a love of boats and diving. It was the perfect setting with the house overlooking the bay as the sun set on the many sailboats floating in the water. It was the perfect day.

Congratulations Triona and Louis. I hope you’re enjoying your honeymoon!

Venue: The Rectory, Co.Cork

I first met Emer and Robert on their wedding day. Emer and Robert live in Australia but were coming home to Ireland to get married. Emer went to college with my husband Colin and that’s how she heard I was a wedding photographer. It always amazes me when people put trust in someone they’ve never met.

I only got a brief idea of what they looked like from photos on the internet but I could tell they were a stunning couple. They were both so fantastic in front of the camera and I could have photographed them for hours. I had a hard time picking photos to post as I simply love all of them. The first one below is one of my absolute faves from their day. Emer had a veil with a blusher so I had her put it over both of them. I love the way she is looking at Robert. Thank you both for putting trust in me to capture your wedding day!

I am so lucky to have some of the best clients to work with and Clare and Aidan are definitely no exception! Clare and Aidan live in London but are getting married in Ireland next year. I was in London recently for a photography workshop and suggested to them to have an engagement session. I was thrilled when they jumped at the opportunity!

Because it was a weekday and they were limited to their lunch hour I suggested a picnic styled session so that at least they could have their lunch. It worked out brilliantly. Clare and Aidan are so adorable together and I am just in love with their photos. I cannot wait for the wedding! See you both next year!

There are so many ways to create an eco friendly seating chart and still keep it looking stylish. A few ideas is to double up your seating chart with your wedding favours. I guarantee your guests will get a smile when they see a bright coloured lolly with their name on it instead of a piece of paper. But anything you have for a favour would work well. Also using potted plants makes it even more green!

Another trend is writing the seating chart on a chalk board or old window pane. They can both be reused in some way. Wouldn’t it be cute to hang the window pane with all your guests names on your wall after the wedding? It becomes a great piece you can cherish.
