Donna and Raymond were married on the 21st October 2017 in a gorgeous ceremony at St. Macartans Cathedral, Monaghan, before hosting their reception at Hillgrove Hotel.

I previously shot Raymond’s brother’s wedding so it was great feeling like I already knew everyone. Myself and my second shooter, Chris Semple, arrived on the morning of the wedding to photograph both the bridal and grooms party.

We set to work, capturing the many details of the day. Everyone was in great form, toasting some bubbles to an amazing day ahead.

Donna elegantly impressed guests with her choice of fitted bead and lace gown, while her bridesmaids wore fuchsia pink, which effortlessly popped in photos.

Following the gorgeous ceremony, we headed near Castle Leslie for some group photos, before stealing a few quiet moments of the happy couple together.

The reception was definitely memorable, with a highlight for many being a comedy routine performed by a duo from Raymond’s drama group. Guests had an amazing day and couldn’t wait to get on the dance floor, where they remained for the duration of the night.

The happy couple are kick starting 2018 with a trip to Vegas and Miami, followed by a Caribbean cruise.

Congratulations Donna and Raymond! Thanks for inviting me to be a part of your special day.
