Back in September, Sophie and Brian brought about 50 family and friends over from American to revisit their Irish heritage and get married in Kinsale.
Definately a merging of two families, this beautiful couple were lucky to have a dry day to enjoy the great scenery {and great food!} of Kinsale along with the admiration and support of the locals.
This wedding was just a Day of Wedding Coordination for me but Sophie did well with the pre wedding plans making her own bouquets and otherwise hiring great suppliers including Philip Bourke Photography who was wonderful for me to work with on the day and was so good to let me show these wonderful photos.
After the ceremony all of the wedding party hopped on to the Kinsale Road Train and headed out to Charles Fort for photos and a wander through the grounds. – with their champagne of course!
What a gorgeous day they had. A big congrats to Sophie & Brian again and another thank you to Philip Bourke Photography for letting me share the photos with you.
Time to show you a few photos of one of my couples who got married at the most beautiful little church, Our Lady Star of the Sea church in Ballycotton and had their reception at the always elegant Catlemartyr Resort.
I met Victoria and Sean at another of my weddings and it was immediate hugs when we met. They are such a warm loving couple {and gorgeous to top it off!} as are their families and that extended into their wedding day.
Tori wanted an elegant and glamorous day and she got it in her stunning gown, carrying avalanche roses and a very elegant venue. Here are a few shots by Sean’s aunt and uncle, photographers Margaret and Hugh O’Brien.
The warmth and love were shared as favours for their guests were abundant with a full table full of items for male and female guests to choose from like, bathbombs, oriental fans, cigars, personalized golf balls and tees, Black & Greens chocolates, mini notebooks and parasols for the children.
Lily and Devin do things big. They are adventurous and fun and once they make a decision on something they make it happen.
Devin proposed to Lily by hiring a 45 foot long billboard on the side of the highway in America. That is big! Their wedding plans were big and their wedding was full of activities and surprises for their guests.
The wedding ceremony and reception were held at Dromoland Castle. A stunning location so Lily didn’t worry about the décor and put her thought into creating a day and full week that her guests would never forget.
Upon their arrival in the country, they and their friends hopped on boats for self drive Shannon River cruises. Not only that, but a scavenger hunt was organized over those few days with the winning boat announced at the reception. Great competition between everyone.
The Ceremony took place outside facing the castle with surprises on the day including the groom arriving to the outdoor ceremony on horseback, the bride arriving in a horse and carriage, the rings were delivered by an owl {yes, an owl!}, the aforementioned 45 foot billboard was there too, and a casino was the evening’s entertainment.
Here are a few photos taken by the wonderful and fun Camryn and Ben Holt who flew over from America to shoot the wedding.
And the guys had great fun on the grounds before the wedding as you can see!
And a little horsing around. Heehee
During the drinks reception the guests basked in the sunshine, enjoyed drinks and a falconry display with a few of the amazing birds they keep at Dromoland.
After that, the party was started. And I mean started! Lily and Devin did their first dance before dinner and the guests danced throughout the meal in between courses before the Casino opened and more dancing afterwards.
The excellent and kind staff at Dromoland didn’t know what hit them! – but I must say they rolled with the flow of the day and were completely accommodating.
Definately a merging of two families, this beautiful couple were lucky to have a dry day to enjoy the great scenery {and great food!} of Kinsale along with the admiration and support of the locals.
What a gorgeous day they had. A big congrats to Sophie & Brian again and another thank you to Philip Bourke Photography for letting me share the photos with you.
