Sinead & Enda, 16th March

I had two weddings over the weekend, with a common theme - Mayo girls enjoying a bit of inter-county rivalry with their husbands from other counties. Over the years, Mayo have mainly enjoyed the upper hand over neighbours Sligo, but Sinead & Enda seemed very well matched on Friday.

It's always good to arrive and find Ann Young in charge of make-up - you just know that everything will run smoothly, on time, and that everyone will be looking fantastic when she's finished. Good make-up can really help for photographs. Ann reckoned Sinead looks like Adele, though I'd argue that she's much prettier than the Cockney chanteuse.

There's a trend that started in the States a couple of years ago for photographers to bring their couples to scrapyards or grafitti-covered buildings and picture them against a gritty background. For a laugh, we gave a little nod to this by nipping out to Sinead's Dad JT's quarry and using the old low-loader as a prop. I'm not sure the trend will catch on here....

We definitely had all four seasons in one day, as our walk down to the shore of Clare Lake swung between driving rain and glorious sunshine several times in a matter of minutes. Once again, I had the pleasure of Eamon from Big Apple alongside me on video, who helped juggle the umbrellas in the deluge. Then it was back to The McWilliam Park Hotel for drinks and dinner before a night of dancing to Brian McDermott & his Band.
