Rachel and Ben, a fun and vintage wedding at The Millhouse in Slane Ireland

I'm a happy girl! I got to shoot this gorgeous wedding for Rachel and Ben at The Millhouse in Slane. I knew when I first met Rachel last year, that her wedding was perfect for my style of photography. Rachel loves vintage, and as she is a make-up artist in Australia (Rachel Doyle Make-up), she did her own hair and make-up. Doesn't she look like Rita Hayworth? Ben, the dashing groom, pulled some most perfect pints for the boys and even donned a Guinness mustache for a photo. Rachel's sister Kerry looked ravishing with her pink Bettie Page hair and mint twirly dress. A big hug to Ben and Rachel in Australia! Thank you so much for having me there on such a beautiful day! And big thank you to my lovely assistant and second shooter Ivana Patarcic for helping with all of the film changes (she's a fantastic photographer too!). Thank you too to the Millhouse for being perfect...the orchard is perfect for an outdoor wedding in Ireland.

Ireland!

katie and paul's elegant wedding at mt. juliet, kilkenny

I love gorgeous weddings! I feel so privileged to be invited to photograph one of the most important days of a couple's life. It's such a big responsibility, and I really feel honoured to be part of the wedding day. When I first met Katie and Paul last Spring, I could see that they were beautiful people inside and out. I knew that their wedding would be filled with love and beauty! While it rained a bit for the ceremony at the church in Iniostige (where the film Circle of Friends was set), the beautiful umbrellas everyone carried really brightened things up. At Mt. Juliet during the group pictures, the girls pulled out a collection of cute little pinwheels they'd made the night before. It was a brilliant idea for their pictures! I'm not sure the guys were so convincing with them, but I loved their "tiger" poses! I have so many shots from the day, including a selection done on traditional medium format film which I've included here. A big hug to Katie and Paul and I wish you all the happiness for your future! Watch out for a video of this wedding from Best Day Productions and a blog post by Christine Burns the second shooter in the near future.
