Glassonbury! Kelly & Jenny's Wineport Lodge Wedding by This Modern Love

Kelly & Jenny's Glassonbury! - Wineport Lodge Wedding Photography

When Kelly & Jenny realised their wedding was the same date as Glastonbury this summer, they decided to give it a run for its money. And so the Glassonbury festival was born (it was at the Wineport Lodge in Glasson! 😂).

It was a really moving day. A celebration of a love story stretching back years, from when Kelly and Jenny first met on a school trip to the Gaeltacht, through years of friendship and falling in love... Cue much happy sniffling from family and friends...

Jenny is a DJ on RTÉ 2FM's amazing Electric Ballroom and her show with Nicky Byrne, so I don't know why I was surprised when an EPIC party kicked off in the evening! These photos still make me laugh out loud.

Kelly and Jenny - thanks so much for having us. You rule!

Sophie & Tom's Wedding at Ballymagarvey Village by This Modern Love

Sophie and Tom's wedding makes us feel good about the world. Beautiful people, right down to the core. So much soul and goodness at their day in Ballymagarvey Village last August. Two musicians, with insanely talented musician families and friends. I've never heard such amazing sounds at a wedding.

By the way, dear readers, thanks for bearing with us through the recent radio silence! We fell over into a big heap after building the house and have spent the off-season devoting a bit of time to our own souls, and to the kidlets... So excited to be back in the middle of the wedding roller-coaster now though. 2016 - let's get it on!! 

Cormac & Richard make history! by This Modern Love

Cormac & Richard make history!

When we shot Cormac and Richard's day in September, we didn't know that it would turn out to Ireland's first legally enshrined same-sex marriage. Nor did they!

But we did know that we had just taken part in something extraordinary. Not because of what the law said, or didn't say. But because of the unequivocal love between Cormac and Richard, and the palpable joy of their families and friends. Their wedding was a glorious, heartfelt celebration. With top hats and canes. As you do :)

Cormac called me yesterday to tell me they had an appointment with the registrar this morning at 8.30am, to convert their civil partnership into a marriage. The first same sex marriage in Ireland!

We couldn't be more thrilled for the guys, and all their friends and family. Couldn't think of finer people to make the history books!
