Brian & Amy II

With the partying done, there was a relaxed atmosphere in Lough Rynn Castle on Sunday with a chance for the guests of honour to rest and recover and before leaving Leitrim. After we did a few personal pictures, Brian & Amy were happy to be photographed with the photographer. Thanks to Alan Hanly, owner of Lough Rynn and Kilronan Castle Hotels, for taking the shot.

Everyone sang the parises of the Hotel and all the Staff, so major congratulations are due to Clement, Ciaran, Ruth, Olivia and all who were involved in the big event and helping it to be such a huge success.



Aughavas and Lough Rynn became the centre of media attention today as Brian O'Driscoll and Amy Huberman got married in Lovely Leitrim. I was very happy to be invited to photograph events at the church today. Security was tight, there was a big media presence and large numbers of the public gathered to wish the happy couple well. This wasn't a closed off celebrity-style wedding behind high walls - no deals with glossy magazines. Before the ceremony Brian mingled with the crowd who'd come to share in the excitement, and other well-known guests did likewise. As you'd expect there was plenty of glamour, with Amy stealing the show in a stunning Stephanie Allin dress from Myrtle Ivory, complemented by beautiful flowers from Josephine & Brendan of Calla Floral Design, who I've often worked with before.

There's no need to caption these pictures - I'm sure you recognise the faces. It's reassuring to see that even scoring Paris hat-tricks, winning Grand Slams, Triple Crowns, Heineken Cups, Captaining the Lions and generally being the best rugby player on the planet doesn't prevent a groom feeling just a little bit nervous on the morning of his wedding.
