Kathleen & Damiens wedding day brought some familiar faces for me. Kathleen had bridesmaid duties at a wedding I shot only a couple of years back, and it was great to be met with a bubbly smile when I arrived at the house for preps. I met Kathleen and Damien at a couple of weddings and it almost felt like I had known them a little anyway. We had a great day, no stress, relaxed but happy out, just the way I like it.
The rest of the content of this blog comes direct from the bride and groom themselves. It is fantastic to see just how much people really do enjoy their wedding day and I am so glad to be a small part of it all…
How our morning went…
Our morning was very relaxed, very chilled and calm, my nerves would come in waves one minute I was good the next I was terrified but it was really enjoyable. Once the photographer and the videographer arrived we knew time was getting close, but I loved the way they made us feel relaxed and not rushed into getting ready and dressed. My favourite part of the morning was the first look with my parents it was magical…
How our ceremony went…
We arrived to Glenisland church on time, when I got out of the car the nerves really started in my tummy, but when we got pictures outside the church it helped settle the nerves. Walking up the aisle was definitely really nerve racking but it went by really quickly once I could see my husband to be at the top of it. I think my dad was more nervous than I was. The most memorable moment was everyone smiling at us as we left the church as Mr & Mrs Basquill…
How our photoshoot went…
We went to Burrishoole Abbey for our pictures and it was amazing it’s beautiful there but it was freezing. Ed made it go by really quickly and the pictures are amazing. I love every picture he took there. Loved all the ones they are so natural…
How our meal/first dance went…
Out wedding meal was amazing thanks to the staff of the hotel. The food tasted delicious and the presentation was perfect, service was second to none as always in the castlecourt hotel but we felt like our wedding was there most important one for the year for them, but they make all wedding couples feel the same. My parents and my brothers had organised a surprise for us after dinner, it was called now that’s what I call Bingo. It was fantastic, it got everyone in great form for dancing. Everyone had a great time. Then that brought us onto our first dance, my nerves were shot as I can’t dance to save myself but it went really well, we had Al Green let’s stay together as our first dance. During our first dance we were saying how everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and by the end of the night we had some guests that had blister on there feet from dancing. Onto Ed Reid, he made us feel so relaxed and comfortable all day long. Never taking long to get the perfect shot of us. We are so happy with all of the pictures from our wedding, we couldn’t recommended him enough, thank you again…
