THE BELFRAY COUNTRY INN WEDDING, DERRY : ERIN + DAVID

Last year while shooting Erin and Christopher’s wedding at Solis Lough Eske Castle, I met Erin and David. They asked me for a card and when I got chatting to them I knew we would get on like a house on fire. They are both so much fun to be around and are sooooo nice, so capturing their wedding day was a lot of fun.

Meeting while at university, Erin and David have grown ever closer over the years and laughter was never far away for the couple. In the morning I had the chance to capture the atmosphere at Erin’s parent’s home and everyone was blown away when she emerged in her wedding dress for the first time.

Awaiting his bride at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Steelstown, David and best man Christopher were in great form as we shot a few fun images. On seeing each other at the altar, both David and Erin looked overjoyed and a smile didn’t leave their faces for the duration of the service! After some group shots at the chapel we made our way to my brother’s house where Erin and David ‘s main images together were captured. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the rain was near torrential and as ducked for cover and took every lightening of rain to capture a few quick shots it was clear that the rain wasn’t dampening spirits one bit!

Arriving at the The Belfray County Inn, both Erin and David couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw their stunning wedding suite. The Belfray puts on a great evening and host Paul kept spirits high throughout the evening. Speaches had people crying tears of joy one second and tears of laughter the next and as the night unfolded Erin and David were joined in their first dance by their flower girl and Erin’s niece.
