Emer & Padraig

I was back to Sligo and Carraroe Church for the second time in a couple of weeks for Emer & Padraig's wedding. I had photographed Emer's bridesmaid Karen's wedding a couple of years ago, so was delighted to hear that she now has a 10 week old baby boy, Cian. Emer would have been one of Karen's bridesmaids too, but she was expecting Hannah at any moment, so had to turn down the job. Little Hannah made a beautiful flower girl on Friday.

The reception was in the Radisson, so we headed up to Rosses Point to take a few photographs. Unfortunately, though the rest of the country was baking in the sunshine, there were grey skies overhead and a damp mist rolling in off the Atlantic. This triggered a frizzy hair alert, so we had to run for cover and head back to the hotel, where the craic was good, as there was plenty of time for people to mix and have a couple of drinks before dinner. Avril from Dejá Groove was a guest at the wedding, and no doubt she and the band rocked the joint later on. Padraig and his family are all musicians too and play in different groups and line-ups including Vinegar Bil, so I'm sure it was a late and lively night in the resident's bar.
