It was a beautiful, clear morning in Castleisland, Kerry. We were looking for the brides house and my camera man, Shane – who surfs, climbs mountains, camps in the wild, and does other manly stuff – says “I can smell rain…” I put his extraordinary claims down to too many outdoor pursuits and an overactive imagination.

We finally found the bride’s house. Jennifer and all her family made us so welcome from the moment we met them and I had a great feeling about the day ahead. And I was right; despite Jennifer’s modern and contemporary touches to her wedding day which I loved, I sensed an abundance of good, old fashion values from the people. Couple this with Ballygarry House – which is renowned for its luxurious surroundings which blend effortlessly into its old world charm – and we had all the ingredients for a perfect day.

Jennifer and her groom, John, put a lot of effort into choosing their wedding theme, readings and selecting vendors who would complement their day. Brendan Landy was covering photography but I won’t sing his praises in this post at the risk of repeating myself in a couple of weeks time when I tell you about another wedding we worked on together.

When I sat to piece together this Wedding Story and teaser, I wanted to create something that was infused with that old world charm I felt on the wedding day. I was tempted to go with a black and white look but in the end, I settled with some rich colours to reflect the warm atmosphere of the day.

And Shane was right… Hours after his nose’s prediction it did indeed begin to rain. But nothing could dampen the fun and well being of this perfect day… in fact, it only added to the occasion.

Thank you Jennifer and John for having us as a part of your special day!
