Fiona & John

The snow had arrived for Fiona & John's wedding in December. It was my third wedding in Bornacoola Church in 2010, and the reception venue was one I know well too, the beautiful Lough Rynn Castle Hotel. Fiona was getting ready in the bridal suite of the hotel. When I arrived, she was still working on her speech, then it was time for make-up, expertly applied by Grainne from Enhance.

One of the reasons why couples choose me is because they want relaxed photographs, rather than elaborately set up shots or traditional wedding poses. Fiona & John were no exceptions. And on the day they were both very natural and comfortable in front of the camera. They had fun with each other and their friends, and this shines through in the photographs. We even had a gatecrasher who added to the craic when he abandoned his evening walk to have his photograph taken instead.

After the freezing conditions of Leitrim, a honeymoon in St Lucia sounded very good to me....
