Margaret & Eddie

Maggie & Eddie got married last Friday in the beautiful village of Ballintubber. It was a pleasure to photograph - great people, picturesque places, including Conor Daly's shop museum. And I got to work with top men too - the legendary Sean Browne was filming the video and my mate Ger, photographer, designer and webmaster was alongside me for most of the day. The shots of Eddie and his parents and of the four lads striding purposefully to the church are by Ger.

The reception was held in the Galway Bay Hotel, my first time to work there. Great views and staff, with Diarmuid and Peter making everyone very welcome. We even made it down to the beach amongst the holidaymakers for a few minutes. As you can see below, the West of Ireland tradition of lighting bonfires to greet and honour the newly-married couple is alive and well. Abbeyknockmoy was ablaze as we passed through - proving what a popular couple Maggie and Eddie are. And I'm not sure if Eddie Treacy is related to Philip, but just look at that hat extravaganza.....
