Esther & Michael //London Wedding /
Esther & Michael's wedding is a special one for us. Esther is an old friend and it was a total privilege to be asked to tell the story of her and Michael's day.
Things kicked off with fry-ups at their house, followed by an amble around the neighborhood to take some portraits before the ceremony. Most laid-back wedding morning of all time... We soon wound our way to St Vedast alias Foster, near St. Paul's Cathedral in London, where Esther and Michael walked each other up the aisle and exchanged vows in a really beautiful, personal ceremony.
Many hours later, the floorboards of the Old Finsbury Town Hall had been well and truly stomped on, cake-smushed and beer-christened in what was a truly epic celebration. That'll be a hard one to beat, 2013!
Danielle & Cian //Carlingford Wedding /

Danielle & Cian met at a Bonnie Prince Billy gig in New Zealand (where Danielle is from). A conversation started over Cian's Johnny Cash t-shirt - and the rest is history...
The tune here is 'May it Always Be' from Bonnie Prince Billy's Ease Down the Road album - probably the best first dance song we've heard yet. We're pretty biased though - this is the first album Tim ever bought for Claire, so it has a lot of sentimental value as well as objectively kicking ass.
And what of the wedding? Simple, soulful, hilarious, beautiful. Wish we could do it all over again.
