I had no trouble choosing pics for this blog as Ailish & John were one of the most relaxed couples we have ever photographed! We arrived at the Bride’s house on the morning and found one very happy girl! Ailish was sitting up getting her Hair & make-up done with not a worry in the world! The Bridesmaids were a fantastic help and there to tend to her every need! Her Dress was lovely, it suited her tiny frame perfectly! The little flower girl Holly arrived in her beautiful little dress and totally stole the show!

John and the Boys were delivered to the Church in style by Glendale Limos from Omagh. And I have to say John was definitely looking the part! Ann McKenna from Kildress decorated the Church and everything was looking fab!

The Bridesmaids and Mother of the Bride arrived looking very elegant followed afterwards by the Bride & her Daddy! Ailish just couldn’t wait to get into see John!   Fr Eddie Gallagher conducted a beautiful Ceremony and the new Mr & Mrs Cahill soon walked down the Aisle and out to greet their Guests!

We then headed to a “secret location” LOL for a few pics with some trees which had just been cut down and then onto Loughmacrory Lough.

The final destination was the Four Seasons Hotel in Monaghan. The couple arrived and were taken into see their Function Room and it was class!   When we left the dance floor was full and the guests were there to party!!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Cahill!!

“One of the most amazing gifts in life is to find someone who knows all your flaws, differences and mistakes, yet still loves everything about you”.

This is a special blog that I’m writing today! This is dedicated to one very special man who is no longer with us and that’s Claire’s Granda Frank. I know I have said it before and I’ll say it again but Grandparents are so important and to have that special photo taken with them on your Wedding Day is priceless!! Granda Frank passed away when Claire was on Honeymoon so the newly weds returned early to attend Frank’s Funeral!   I’m so glad we called out to see Frank that day, he was in such good form and enjoying the craic and was so proud of his lovely Granddaughter!

Claire’s Big Day started off with make-up & hair being done in the house that morning! It was a busy house to say the least! The Champagne was being opened by none other than the Mother of the Bride and I have to say she was a dab hand at that! Claire looked beautiful and her dress was so simple and elegant! Colm even remembered to purchase a gorgeous gift for his Bride, a beautiful Michael Kors watch! One day at a Wedding I said to Paul “I never got a gift from you on our Wedding Day” and his reply was “Sure you got me, what else did you need” LOL…..Oh let me think!!

The Boys arrived to the Church on time and looking very handsome! Colm was pretty relaxed, no nerves at all in fact! The Church looked lovely, decorated by Ann Mc Kenna from Kildress!

Soon after the Hummer arrived with the Bridesmaids and Mother of the Bride who were all looking lovely! Claire’s proud Daddy walked her up the Aisle and into Colm’s Arms! It really is one of my most favourite times at a Wedding, when a Groom sees his wife to be for the first time!

There was a Guard of Honour for Claire & Colm on leaving the Church and we then headed to visit the Grandparents who couldn’t make it to the Church! We even took some of the photos at Claire’s Grandparents house in Kildress!

After all the snaps were taken we headed to the Slieve Russell in Cavan for the Reception. The Evening was packed full of great food, company & entertainment!

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a meaning.

We had met Aine & Ryan at a wee engagement shoot around Loughmacrory Lough and knew straight away we would get on famously! On the Big Day we arrived at Aine’s house, got out of the car, lifted out the Camera and an Error Message came up on the screen, as you can imagine Paul was raging but the only benefit of being married to someone who is a perfectionist is that he has another identical Camera as backup ready to go and another and oh of course another! Talk about being ready for all eventualities!!

The family made us feel so welcomed from when we went into the house, with Aine’s Mum on tea making duties and Daddy out doing the messages it was certainly a busy house! Daddy was well and truly outnumbered with all the girls, just like our house here! Paul says he surrounded by women here, even Daisy the dog is a girl!! LOL   Catherine Mc Enhill was on makeup duty and as usual everyone was looking fab!

Ryan arrived at the Church looking very handsome and was smiling from ear to ear when Aine walked up the Aisle with her Daddy! Fr Mc Faul conducted the ceremony and everyone was treated to some lovely shortbread biscuits when they left the Church. We even stopped the traffic for a lovely photograph outside the church of the couple and the Wedding Cars!

Off we headed for the photo-shoot and I have to say the location and the light couldn’t have been better! Ryan & Aine relaxed and enjoyed their time together down by the water edge! I think Ryan would have quite happily stayed for another hour, only joking Ryan!! LOL

Glendale Limousines provided the cars to the Hillgrove for the Reception and of course they were gleaming inside and out! The Function Room was fantastic, the table Plan was based on places the couple had visited! My personal Favourite was the Belfast Table, read why below!!

 The guests were treated to Champagne on arrival along with tea/coffee, scones and biscuits! The Sweetie table went down a treat with the kiddies and the adults!!   There was a special guest at the Wedding Mr Stephen O’ Neill, the Tyrone Footballer. The youngest Groomsman Aaron had asked for a pic with him so of course we obliged! I hope you like it Aaron!

Cufflinks Band kicked off the music and after the Bridal Dances were over the floor was filled! I think its safe to say that every single person at that wedding enjoyed every minute of it!

We arrived at Lara’s house on the morning of the Wedding only to find her having a laugh with another man!! Don’t worry Sean it was Jay Alveer, Lara’s friend, who flew all the way from New York to do Lara’s make-up!Lara’s Dress was so elegant, it was just made for her, with the long dark hair and big eyes, Lara looked amazing! The two little flower girls were so good and couldn’t wait to get their dresses on! Stephen Mallon was the florist and Lara’s bouquet was exquisite!Not every house you go into has its own Bar so we had to get Lara’s Dad in behind it for a couple of pics! I think Lara is a bit of a Daddy’s girl (just like most of us) and we were delighted to get a Pic of her Daddy at the bottom of the Stairs waiting on his princess to come down in her amazing dress! There were two very important boys at the house that morning and they were Lara’s Foster Brothers. Two Very Handsome young men!!Sean arrived at the Holy Trinity Church in Cookstown fashionably late! Yes we know Sean, the driver got lost!!The Boys all looked very smart in their suits and brown shoes! We even caught Sean’s Dad & Mum having a little moment!! Sorry Folks!The Bridesmaids and Lara’s Mum arrived looking simply stunning. Sean did get a little nervous but when Lara walked up the Aisle his nerves left and a big smile beamed across his face! Fr Bradley conducted a lovely Ceremony and it was not long til the new Mr & Mrs Loughran left for Lissan House for their Photos!After the Photoshoot the couple held their Reception in the local Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown. Mickey greeted the couple with Champagne and a Big Smile!! The Food as usual was first class and the service in the Greenvale has to be rated one of the best in Northern Ireland.After the First Dance was over, Lara & her Daddy took to the floor for a Father/Daughter dance. The look of pride in her Daddy’s eye was evident!What an amazing Day it was! We wish you every happiness in your future lives together and hope you enjoyed Greece!

“Love one another and you will be happy. It’s as simple and as difficult as that”

What a lovely family! Ann-Marie & Brian have the three most wonderful boys anyone could ever ask for! They make a lovely family and I’m sure there are plenty of laughs with their wee baby Shea. We arrived at Ann-Marie’s Parents House and were met with one very happy girl! Ann-Marie’s big day had finally arrived and she was looking beautiful! The florist Orla Lucas from Greencastle arrived with the bouquets and I have to say they looked absolutely fantastic! We had great fun at the house that morning with all the family and were made feel so at ease! I love it when the family can relax around us; it not only makes us feel welcome it also make the photos so much easier to take!

The Boys arrived to the Church in a rally car personalized with the Bride and Groom’s names. Brian was so relaxed, no nerves at all! Ann-Marie arrived at the Church in one of Island Limos vintage style cars and as always the cars look immaculate. Orla the Florist decorated the Church and it looked lovely! The Bestman Paul even had time to play a little trick on the couple, he exchanged the rings for Haribo sweetie version rings and Fr Mc Cartan was in on the joke too! Ann-Marie and Brian didn’t know where to look when Paul presented the box!

The Ceremony was over in a blink and the new Mr & Mrs Hughes made their way down the Aisle and out to greet their guests.

We then headed to the photo-shoot location, which was just outside Armagh, but as I tell everyone I speak to, no two Weddings are alike and today I will definitely remember for quite a while! We were caught up in the middle of Tassagh Truck Run!! YES a truck run with over 500 Trucks, they were trying to smash the Guinness World Record for Marie Curie Cancer Care. What a Fantastic Event but maybe if we weren’t stuck in the middle of it would have been even better LOL!! All the photos were taken and the new Mr & Mrs Hughes headed to the Armagh City Hotel for their Reception.

Many Congratulations to a wonderful couple and a lovely family and remember being loved just as you is the greatest currency on earth. It is immeasurable in value and can never truly be repaid!
