I know! Your eyes aren’t playing games with you.. This is a real bride in full gallop, side-saddle, in her wedding dress, on a beach!

Emily & James got married in the Armada Spanish Point this past weekend and when Emily told us she wanted to ride her horse on the beach in Spanish Point we knew this was going to be good! James is a farrier and they met when he was shoeing her horse a few years ago.. We love their story and loved creating these images! .

THIS IS LOVE
2018 was an incredible year traveling around Ireland & Europe capturing weddings and this is some of the highlights. To say we are grateful to our couples is an understatement. Thank you all for having us along to capture your adventures and your love. It has been another incredible year!

There is something special about this image. You see, Rachel met Conor when she was on a trip over here from Texas, Conor flew half way across the world to be with her and they returned to Ireland last week to get married. This image, on the edge of Ireland, with Conor looking out to America & Rachel looking back to Ireland, is one of our favourites from their big day!

Caitriona & Andrew in front of the stunning Adare Manor Hotel. We always love bringing couples out to do something a little different at night, and when you are getting married in an Irish Castle, it's a must😍

Mondays wedding was a little different to say the least! We set off from the bottom of Croagh Patrick at 9am with Sinéad & Kieran, two of their friends and Fr.John Kenny . After a few hours of a hike, with Sinead & Kieran carrying their wedding dress & suit in a bag, we reached the top (764 metres). The hike was full of every type of weather you could imagine. Cold rain, thick fog, warm sunshine.. you name it, we had it! The ceremony preformed by Fr. Kenny at the top was something really special. Even surrounded by thick fog at the very top still made for some amazing images but when we all dropped down a couple of hundred feet after the ceremony the views were extra special!
It’s always an honour to get to photograph couples weddings but being invited and trusted to capture this one on top of one of Irelands most beautiful mountains was a real treat and the full wedding day story from start to finish is one we won’t forget for a very long time! Well done Sinead & Kieran and a massive congratulations to you both!!

A big thanks to Natalie O Brien Bridal Hair & Caroline Coyne Make Up for doing a beautiful job as always.
