Mixed Weather Day at Belfast Castle

It was a mixed weather day when Laura and Gareth were married. It had been predicted to be a very wet day, so we did well to get some dry weather. 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.

The great thing about a mixed weather day, is that you get two completely different styles of photography which you can see from the shots. If it had been a good day, we would not have got the window shot below. Then again, had it been a great weather day all the family shots would have been taken outside.




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.

Belfast Castle is one of the great locations for weddings. As a photographer it offers it all...indoors and outdoors.

Stunning wedding in Killyhevlin Hotel, Enniskillen

Last month, I shot a beautiful wedding in St Matthew's Church in Belfast and then later held their reception in the spectacular Killyhevlin Hotel in Enniskillen.

I met the girls early in the morning at Boudoir Make Up rooms in The Conway Mill. What a pleasant surprise that was. The mill is like a little cottage industry for beauty. There was a hairdresser, make up artists, nail technicians and spa treatment rooms. There is an holistic floor in the mill for reflexology, massage and lots of lovely treatments.

This was such a great wedding because I got to meet up with so many couples who's weddings we have covered in the past.

Although I had seen the dress and watched Aisling get her make up done, it was still a shock when she walked down the aisle . Her spanish lace veil was breath taking. Stephen and the boys had to wait on girls arriving, but it was worth the wait.

After the mass, we all headed down to the Killyhevlin Hotel in Enniskillen for the photo shoot and the reception. The weather threatened to break but held off until we had the photographs taken and all the guests were called into the room for dinner.
