Noleen & Jason
The lovely Wedding took place recently of Miss Noleen Owens from Sixmilecross & Mrs Jason Conway from Greencastle in the Greenvale Hotel, Cookstown.
The Bride’s dress was stunning and her bridesmaid dresses were just gorgeous! I loved the colour of the dresses with the lace back detail. Stephen Mallon decorated the Greenvale and it was looking fantastic. Unfortunately the rain took over and the boys got a few photos taken inside before the radiant Bride & her Dad arrived. The Registrar conducted a lovely ceremony and soon the new Mr & Mrs Conway headed for Killymoon Castle in Cookstown for their Photo-shoot. Again not too many Photos were outside but that didn’t stop this couple from relaxing and enjoying themselves! We headed back over to The Greenvale for the meal and as usual Mickey Mc Elhatton had everything set up and ready to go! After the Meal Hype The Band provided the entertainment and the floor was full for the entire night!
Congratulations to you both!
Danielle & Ciaran
The wonderful Wedding of Danielle & Ciaran took place back in July. The Bride wore the most exquisite dress with the Bridesmaids in a beautiful pale green. I loved the Mother of the Bride’s outfit, which matched perfectly with the Bridesmaids. The Groom’s Niece Cliodna was the Flowergirl and she was so pretty in her wee dress! Catherine Flemming was the Make-up artist on the day and as usual everyone was looking FAB!
The boys arrived in their navy suits and brown shoes looking very dapper indeed. Janice Watt from the Flower Studio in Dungannon provided the Flowers and the bouquets were quite simply amazing!
Fr White and Fr Meehan (A Family Friend) conducted the Ceremony and soon the new Mr & Mrs Mc Veigh greeted Friends & Family at the Door of the Church!
We then headed to Killymoon Castle for the Photos followed by a Reception in the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown.
Hype The Band had every guest up and on the floor so the place was just buzzing with excitement!
Thanks so much for having us at your Special Day!

Caoimhe & John
On the morning of this wedding, I packed not only all the camera equipment but all the flu tablets and Strepsils that I could find. Caoimhe & John both had awful bad colds but let me tell you, it never stopped them from enjoying their Special Day. We arrived at the Brides House and two very pretty young ladies were there to show us around, Katie-Rose & Saoirse, the Bride & Groom’s two young daughters. They were both fantastic on the day and never stopped smiling for the camera. Caoimhe’s dress was beautiful with a gorgeous beaded band around the waist. It looked lovely hanging up but wow it was even more amazing when she got it on! The Bridesmaids wore a very delicate baby pink chiffon dress and the two wee princesses wore pretty little dresses with lovely matching baby pink cardigans!
Stephen Mallon decorated the church and I loved the trees at the front doors along with the lanterns!
John & the Boys arrived in good time and got the pics done and dusted before the Bridesmaids arrived.
Caoimhe arrived with her Daddy and he looked very proud walking his daughter up the steps and up the Aisle to meet her future Husband!
Fr Hughes conducted the Ceremony and Ciara Fox provided the beautiful singing. The new Mr & Mrs Gilmore soon walked the down the Aisle and out to greet their guests!
Off we headed then to Lissan House for the Photographs. John & Caoimhe were very good even when we took them out into the cold for an extra few pics together!
Mickey Mc Elhatton was at the door ready with the Champagne when we arrived to the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown. I have to say from the Sweetie Cart to the beautifully decorated room to the Magnificent Cake everything looked the part! We had one special request from the Bride & Groom on the day and that was for photographs with their friends. Little did we know the amount of friends these two special people had! Have a look at the pics below! LOL
Hype the Band started the dancing with Caoimhe and her new Hubbie and then later played a special song for Caoimhe and her wee Daddy. When we were leaving the Hotel, the floor was full!!
Marriage is a mosaic you build with your spouse. Millions of tiny moments that create your very own love story!
Natasha & John
What a day, that’s all I can say! Between the Weather and John having us in stitches of laughter, it was brilliant! The Bridal Preps were very organized, Mum sitting getting her make-up done in the Sun Room and The Bride in a bedroom down the hall getting her hair finished off by Priscilla from Priscilla’s Hair in Omagh. The Bridesmaids were very quiet, I’m not too sure if there were one or two with a slight hangover but who knows..LOL. Sleeeping in his little cot was Nathan, the bride & groom’s son. Natasha’s dress was gorgeous, the lace detail was just fab and of course she was going to be wearing my favourite pair of shoes, Irregular Choice! I’m, not sure if many of you know but I had to get Paul to move some of his clothes out of his side of the wardrobe so I could fit my shoes in, so a slight obsession, well umm yes maybe!! LOL
We arrived to the Church to find Ciara Mc Kernan from Creggan decorating the Altar with her new hire accessories! Clare O’Brien from Draperstown provided the flowers and everything was perfect! We were standing outside waiting on the boys to arrive and far off in the distance all we could hear was or rather what sounded like a cross between a shotgun and a plane, but NO it was John and the boys arriving in their cars! The most handsome boy at the wedding was little Shea, the Bride & Groom’s other wee son! He smiled for the pics even when it was starting to spit with rain! Eventually the rain started, but nothing could have dampened the spirits of that bridal party, even Natasha wasn’t going to wait for an umbrella to get her up the steps to the Church!
Fr Forbes conducted the Ceremony and I have to say little Nathan gave him a run for his money, I think he was looking more attention than Fr Forbes! The singing and music provided by Donna Taggart and Rory Madden was just beautiful. Before leaving the Church we took a group photo of everyone at the Wedding. These are lovely to look back on in years to come!
Over the years we have had many requests en-route to the photo-shoot location e.g.: Can we stop at a Grandparents house, can we stop at the local Pub, can we stop at the shop, can we stop at a Toilet but never have we stopped to get a Hot-Dog and Chip for the Groom & Bestman! The Photos were taken and the happy Couple were delivered to the Silver Tassie Hotel by Exotic Limos. Aidan has a lovely new White Limo and it is just class!
After a fantastic 4 course meal the dancing started and when we were getting finished off, I had to run with the camera to get one last pic and that was Natasha with her two special boys! Thanks so much for having us at your Special Day. We wish you both & those two fantastic boys every happiness in your future lives together!
And remember keep the fire lit in your marriage and your life will be filled with warmth!
Catherine & Brian
Catherine & Brian met with us for a Pre-Wedding Shoot at our local Lake. Brian was so relaxed he was nearly horizontal and Catherine was worrying for the both of them and I couldn’t blame her as they were getting married on Friday 13th I know this is suppose to be a unlucky day for some but I’d say Brian was the luckiest man in Ireland when Catherine walked up the Aisle!
The day came and the weather was great, we arrived at Catherine’s house only to find some works were being carried out. We then found out that Catherine & Brian had the same idea as ourselves, they were renovating and moving in at home, Catherine’s Daddy really didn’t loose a daughter but gained a son and folks honestly it was the best thing we ever done living next door to Mum & Dad! We had our own independence but with all the love & support that we needed!
Catherine’s a twin but thankfully not identical so we had no problem telling the difference between her and Alicia. These two ladies mean business and I’m telling you now, this Wedding was organized down to the finest detail! I think Alicia might have had a hand in this! Catherine’s dress was gorgeous and her shoes were unreal, Irregular Choice, my personal favourite!
We got some lovely Photos around the house that morning including her Daddy having his shave for the day. There was one very special Lady missing and that was Catherine’s Granny Donnelly! There was a lovely Photograph of Granny when she was younger and one of her in later life and she was an extremely good looking lady! Now I know where these girls got their good looks from!
Stephen Mallon decorated the Church in Pomeroy and it looked class! The Boys arrived a little bit later than expected in a very big yellow lorry! With the wing mirrors pulled in, the lorry just fitted through the pillars and no more! Brian had even joked with Fr Moore that maybe he could have widened the gateway but Fr Moore was having none of that LOL!
Alicia and her Mum arrived looked stunning followed shortly afterwards by the Bride & her Daddy in a convertible Beetle! Fr Moore greeted Catherine & Brian at the top of the Aisle and the Ceremony began!
We then headed to Killymoon Castle in Cookstown for the Photo-shoot and then onto the Greenvale Hotel where Mickey Mc Elhatton greeted the Couple. The Function Room looked amazing! Mickey’s attention to detail is second to none! After the meal the band started to set up and out came Jim Devine to entertain the guests. I can assure you when we left the floor was packed and the craic was mighty!
Best Wishes to you both for the Future and remember love is the greatest gift when given, but it is the highest honor when received!
Sharon & Brendan
I met with Sharon & her Mum about a year and half before the Big Day. I knew from our meeting that we would get on famously! Sharon’s little Sister Michaella also works in our local Hairdressers in Loughmacrory, so I have tortured Michaella manys a time for a quick wash cut & blow dry!!
On the Wedding Day we arrived at Sharon’s house and it was the usual morning scene!! Hairdressers in one room, beauticians in another, Mummy running round trying to get organized and Daddy out farming, YES, out farming, Mickey didn’t have a care in the world, he was quite happy sorting out the animals!
Zero Hair & Beauty were in charge of the hairs & make-up and when they were done Sharon and her entourage looked amazing!
Brendan & the boys who might I add, looked very smart, were delivered on time to the Church by the very reliable Glendale Limousines. There was one extra special little man that morning and that was Cahir, Sharon & Brendan’s son! Cahir was adorable and so good, he just didn’t like to smile at us (I bet Michaella bribed him…LOL).
Sharon walked up the Aisle and into Brendan’s arms and the look of Love between the two was quite obvious!
The Ceremony was soon over and the new Mr & Mrs Wilson were met at the doors of the Church with kids from the local school in which Sharon works. We left the Church and stopped at Loughmacrory Lough for a few photos before heading onto Killymoon Castle in Cookstown. Dorothy had the kettle on and the scones were going down a treat!
The Photos were taken and we headed over to the Glenavon for the Meal and entertainment. As usual James greeted the couple with a smile and a couple of glasses of their finest Champagne! We then headed in to see the cake, made by Sharon’s Aunt Colleen, it was fantastic! Later that night the boys from Bleedin Cowboys entertained the guests!
Many congratulations to Sharon, Brendan & Cahir on their Special Day and we wish you all every happiness in your future lives together.
Tracey & Sean McGread
What a beautiful morning we had at Tracey’s House, we were made feel so at home with all the girls and their wee daddy too. Tracey was one of the most relaxed Brides we have ever met! Her Sister who came over from Ibiza for the Wedding even let us photograph her with no makeup on, as she was so tanned! Not jealous at all!! LOL!
Sean and the Boys arrived at the Church super early to make sure everything was ready for the Guests. The Church looked amazing, Stephen Mallon worked his magic and from the flowers inside to the lovely white mat waiting for Tracey to walk up, everything was set! Sean and the Boys even done a little bit of posing for us, but we were sworn to secrecy on that!
When the Bridesmaids arrived in their gorgeous “duck egg blue” dresses, the sun was shining! Next to arrive was Tracey & her Daddy in Glendale’s Rolls Royce, what an entrance!!
The Ceremony went over perfectly, but there was one special person missing and that was Tracey’s wee Mummy. Now from what I heard throughout the day she was a true lady! Nothing can make you stop missing a loved one at a Wedding but I’m sure she was looking down on them both with a big Smile of Approval.
After the Ceremony was over we called at Louis Kelly’s House in Omagh. The Photos were taken and there was even a special request from the little flower girl that Princess Elsa got her pic taken too, how could we refuse! Tracey was very lucky to have two dashing little pageboys that day, but a week before the Wedding the little man took the chickenpox! Needless to say Photoshop is a wonderful invention!
When we arrived at the Silver Tassie Hotel in Letterkenny we were met with an Amazing Cart full of Glasses, all handmade by Tracey’s Sister-in-Law Brenda from BCrafty. This is one seriously talented lady. Brenda made an individual glass for each lady at the Wedding and Sean made sure the men wouldn’t miss out so they received a Scratch card! What Fab Favours!
To end this wonderful day in memory of Tracey’s Mummy a game of Bingo was held in her honour. I’ve never seen a room full of guests as quiet in a long time waiting to hear their numbers being called and bang then we heard “BINGO”, the room erupted with a cheer!!
We wish you both every Happiness in your future lives together and thanks again for having us!
Sinead & Shane
We had the pleasure of photographing Sinead & Shane’s Wedding Day. The Ceremony took place in Dunmoyle with a Reception afterwards in the Clanree Hotel, Letterkenny.
Sinead’s dress was stunning and the flowers were simply beautiful, courtesy of Stephen Mallon. Catherine Fleming was the Make-up Artist for the day and as usual everyone looked immaculate.
Sinead had plenty of help on the day from her five gorgeous flower girls who behaved so good on the day!
Shane arrived at the Church looking very handsome and of course it was bucketing with rain but that didn’t stop the smiles!!
I have to comment on how lovely the two Mothers looked, their outfits were amazing but they had a little competition from one very glamorous Granny, see the lovely lady above!
The attention to detail from Sinead was second to none, the function room even had a “small table” for all the “small people” to play and have fun at.
Thanks again to you both for having us at your Big Day and we wish you both every happinesses in your future lives together.
