Stories

Three days, told the whole way through.

Not a highlight reel. Each of these is one day in the order it happened, with the weather it had, the timings it ran to and the number of guests who were actually there.

Aoife and Cathal

A stone church, rain from eleven until four, and a hotel with orange uplighters they had asked the manager to turn off.

Niamh and Ruairí

Getting ready in the house she grew up in, a borrowed car, and a gale on Salthill promenade that ruined the hair and made the pictures.

03 · Silver Strand · February

The Lanigans

A family session on a cold Saturday. No outfits laid out, no looking at the camera, one small girl who wanted to be left alone with the stones.

Why there are only three.

Because these are the three I can show end to end. A gallery of ninety unrelated frames from ninety different weddings tells you nothing about whether the afternoon will be any good, and it is the one thing every photographer website does.

If you want to see a day that looks like yours, tell me the month, the church and the hotel and I will send you a full gallery from the nearest match I have.
