Sharon and Paul's wedding extravaganza in Crescent Church Belfast and Ballygally Hotel

Sharon and Paul were married in September this year. It has been a busy year for Sharons mum as both her daughers, Sharon and Esther were getting married within 4 weeks of each other.
I arrived at the house bright and early as it was an early start wedding in Belfast Crescent Church. This was the first time I covered a wedding in this church. It is located very close to Queen's University. With its Belfast City Centre location there was alot of hustle and bustle around the church as the boys arrived. Of course when the girls arrived, the traffic slowed and alot of school girls stopped to watch the wedding rather than make their way to Queens' open day.
I love some of the city shots taken around the church with the taller buildings, cars and people as the backdrop. They are so full of life and excitement.
After the beautiful service, we made our way to Ballygally Castle Hotel on the Larne coast road. The sun came out and it was perfect wedding weather. We made our way to the beach across from the hotel for some fun bridal party shots and exquisite scenery shots.



Later we made our way onto the grounds of the hotel. The magnificent garden was out in full bloom.

Sharon and Paul are a beautiful intimate couple together which was wonderful to photograph. Each wedding is different and if you had to use one word, each wedding would have its own. So the word I would assign to this wedding is intimate.
We finished at the wedding cake cutting, but it was not long until I met up with Sharon and Paul only the next time, Sharon had on the coloured dress while Esther was the beautiful bride. Photos and blog of Esthers wedding to follow.
