Clyde & Frieda got married in Dublin City and had their ceremony in City hall, a lovely choice of venue. It was actually my first time there even though I’ve lived in Dublin all my life, I’m not sure how I’ve never had the time to go in as I’ve passed this building so many times in the past.

This is a really cool place to celebrate a marriage. It has character and prestige, beautiful stone features and the domed ceiling is just incredible but the thing I love the most are the large ceiling high windows that fill its center with lots and lots of bright natural light…. yum.

For the reception Clyde & Frieda choose the Cliff Town House a funky boutique hotel in Dublin city right across from Stephens green with views of the park and streets and a cute but somewhat frightening walk-out balcony. This wedding was a lot of fun and it was great working with both Clyde & Frieda… thanks guys and enjoy..

I have a lot of weddings I want to blog over the next few weeks as things settle down, so here’s a quick preview of whats to come

We’re off to Kerry to photograph Tracy and Johns wedding this weekend but before that a little post about the fun time I had with them a few weeks ago shooting their engagement images for a guest book. We took a nice walk around Ardgillen Demesne which is a beautiful Demesne with a castle and woods… here’s some of the results. Looking forward to Friday!

Ok so a wedding with 2 castles has to have  a prince, princess and a chariot! I’m not sure of the horse power so I can’t say how many horses we had, was it a biga, triga or quadriga but it made a lot of noise and it looked very, very cool.

It’s obvious that Deirdre and Eoghan really love each other and have lots of fun together and its something that shows. They smiled all day and didn’t stress, concentrated on each other and absorbed the fun around them. Its what I would recommend every couple do, enjoy it, savor it and don’t stress it.

Deirdre looked utterly fab in her dress definitely a princess… and her group of friends and family where a real pleasure to be around allowing me to just quietly work away and photograph the morning in my own way. The ceremony was in the Kilkenny castle round tower and was gorgeous and great for a overhead view. Castle Durrow has everything you need for photographing a wedding on location, beautiful gardens and trees and bright rooms inside should the weather let you down. I have to say a big congrats to both Eoghan & Deirdre and thanks for letting us be there to photograph your big day.
