I promised to post some weddings from before I started the blog and I couldn’t wait to blog Erin and Christopher’s wedding at Solis Lough Eske Castle last June. Erin is the sister of one of my best friend’s wife (Sara), and I have known her for years. Christopher is a class act, a true gentleman and a good laugh. They are one of the best looking couples around; Erin looked stunning in her wedding dress and Christopher was very sharp in his suit. What made this wedding stand out for me was the personalisation, attention to detail and quality throughout – and I believe this was all planned in a relatively short space of time.

The ceremony was said by Father Martin in the Convent Chapel in Thornhill and after we travelled to Donegal to Solis Lough Eske Castle for the reception. The venue is truely incredible. From the food, to the room, the service, and the surrounds blow me away everytime I visit Solis Lough Eske Castle, so it’s a photographers dream to shoot there. As an added bonus the sun split the sky all day, which is always great, especially in Ireland!

Amazing venue, bride and groom and weather made sure this wedding was unforgettable.

Lovely images captured of natural moments between Erin and her sister, Sara.

I love this image – this is what most grooms are like waiting to catch a glimpse of their beautiful bride.

Again, just a 100% natural moment.

The looks captured during the service evoke a lot of emotion and are the things people remember when they look back at their wedding photos.

This image is my favourite of the day. Erin and Christy look incredible and the background is incomparable. I’ve got this as a huge framed picture in my studio and the couple also have one hanging in their home.

Shot while I was driving behind – I swear someday I’ll have an accident doing this – but it gets a cool photo.

Another image I love from their wedding –  they look great, as does the car and Solis Lough Eske Castle.

I like getting these little details when shooting the room.

The staircase in Solis Lough Eske Castle is amazing and provides lots of photo opportunities.

A lot of brides like getting their photo in front of this window, Erin looks great, her dress is stunning.

I remember the speeches being really, really funny and very heartfelt – the perfect mix.

Outside also worked well for the family formals.

It’s always good to get an image of all of the guests. This image was cropped for a double page spread in Erin and Christy’s wedding album.

The end (for me!) of a great day (I believe they partied on until the wee hours). I submitted some of images of Erin and Christopher’s wedding to Solis Lough Eske Castle, and you may notice some from their website. I am one of their preferred photographers and I can’t wait to shoot another wedding there soon.
