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.
This was a nostalgic day for me as Laura got married in the same Church that I was married in 16 years ago. It does not feel anywhere near that time. The music that was played was very similar to that played on my own wedding which brought it all back to me. When I think back to my own wedding, it seems like such a short time ago yet so much has happened since then. Life can pass you by so quickly. So remember to celebrate the good time and make memories that last. 
We had agreed with Laura and Gareth to go back to the Castle later that evening for a night time shot. Love the punchy blue in the skies in night time photography. 
We are so excited to hear that Stacey Haskins has made it to the current series of Britain and Irelands Next Top Model shown on Thursday nights on Sky Living TV. 
New School Term starts next week and all those little 4 year olds are taking the huge step of starting school. As a busy portrait studio we have photographed lots of babies over the years. A few mums have asked us to put on a school photography package as their little ones are starting school next week and we have photographed them since birth. Both these boys Danny who is starting P1 and Ryan who is going into p6 have been photographed by ourselves since they were born. 
With hands on experience dealing with kids with Aspergers, Autism and ADHD and ADD - we capture their little personalities in a relaxed, unobtrusive environment. 
Designer style and glamour were the theme of the day at Suzanne and John's exclusive wedding held in the 5 Star Lough Erne Resort in Enniskillen. As with most girls, Suzanne loves her shoes and accessories and as a stunningly beautiful bride she felt she was worth it to accessorise with Jimmy Choo shoes and bag. Those little bits of bling really suited her fabulous dress. Although we were not around at this point, later in the night, Suzanne removed the large skirt of the dress to reveal a "little white number" which showed off those glitzy Jimmy Choo shoes to perfection.
When John and Suzanne walked down the aisle, they had a surprise at the front doors of the church. All John's Hurling mates had brought along their hurling sticks to form a guard of honour at the front doors. This was very personal and another great opportunity for photographs.
