Jenny and David's Sunny Autumn Outdoor Ceremony in the Walled Garden at Boyne Hill House near Navan

I'm always a bit nervous a couple days before a planned outdoor ceremony in Ireland...because of the reputation of rain. I wish more couples would chance them though, because they are utterly amazing to photograph. Natural light beats artificial light any day, and the presence of nature all around you as you say your vows is truly wonderful! So enjoy Jenny and David's sunny October ceremony in the outdoor walled garden at Boyne Hill House in Navan County Meath! And I'm sure the guys will love the vintage cars from David's family at Bill Sheehan and Sons.

Knappogue Castle Ireland Destination Wedding...A Dream Come True For Marissa and Eric

Marissa and Eric are a cute couple from Wisconsin. They recently got married in Ireland at Knappogue Castle in County Clare with a group of their family and friends. They had so many cute ideas...the boys in traditional flat caps, bow ties and tweed vests...the gals carrying Autumn-coloured silk bouquets with little typewriter key initial charms...and the wedding party wearing Toms! Annie Byrne of Aislinn Events in County Kerry planned their perfect day and I must say it was an absolute joy to work with her. The day was planned perfectly which meant that they had loads of time to get the romantic scenic photographs that were important to them. They also had a First Look which is a wonderful opportunity to get beautiful photographs of the bride and groom seeing each other for the first time (there's a split second to get these photos when the first time a groom sees the bride is coming down the aisle). 

Kudos to Annie for booking Vaughan's Pub in Kilfenora (of Father Ted fame) for their reception. So much fun and it looked fabulous! Marissa and Eric decided to skip the cake and brought cake mix over from the States to make Cake Shots! More of this wedding to follow on another blog soon (there is just way too much beauty and inspiration for my 'lil blog). Thank you so much to Marissa and Eric for choosing me as your wedding photographer in Ireland!
