Ireland Wedding Venues
It's pretty likely that Cheryl, Dave and I have been to about 50 of the same gigs over the years without knowing it. Kindred spirits for sure! And shooting their music focussed, fabulous 1940's wedding in the Millhouse in Slane was a dream. Loved this day from beginning to end.
Big thanks to One Fab Day for featuring it.
I arrived in pitch black the night before the wedding and eventually managed to find the shepherd's hut where I was staying. The embers were still glowing in the stove in the morning when I woke up, and stumbled out the door to see where I was... the free and wild eco-glamping playground in Westmeath that is Mount Druid.
It was a perfect fit for the wonderful mayhem that was Grace and Gareth's wedding. These guys took handmade to a new level, and their creative stamp was everywhere. We're not usually ones for blogging the details, but everything here just looked so damned fantastic!
Heartfelt and hilarious Co. Clare camaraderie. With robot drawings. All kinds of amazing. Big thanks to Grace & Gareth for having us along.
Another one of those weddings that gave us goosebumps.
Niamh's grandad designed the church they got married in, a strange and beautiful circular structure in Donegal not far from Derry city. The church was modelled on the Grianán of Aileach, a 6th century ringfort and one of the royal seats of Gaelic Ireland, which sits on the hill above. We went there to take some portraits, returning to the spot where Simon first proposed. Can't help but wonder how many weddings this place may have seen through the centuries...
A quick boat ride across Lough Swilly to Rathmullan and we were soon at Drumhalla House, for a spectacular party. Special shout-out to Pyke 'N' Pommes - I have no idea how such amazing food for so many people comes out of a van!
A very big thank you to Niamh and Simon for having us be part of this unique and most excellent of days.
