We made our way back to the hotel and the couple got some time to mingle with their guests. The delicious wedding breakfast was served followed by the cutting of the (cheese)cake. The French contingent made up a song for the couple the night before and sang it to them shortly after the meal finished which made for many beautiful moments including Delphine being brought to tears. After they had a delectable assortment of desserts, cheeses, and ice cream for all to enjoy.

The first dance started with the French tradition of the bride dancing with her father and then the groom cutting in. It was a lively dance floor thanks to the joyful group of family and friends and a fab band. The bride and groom and crowd danced long into the night and I did my best to capture the lovely moments that they provided. It was a beautiful wedding day and night for a brilliant couple. Much love to both for letting me capture their day.

I met John 11 years ago when he was kind enough to host a friend and I in Ireland as we made our way traveling around Europe. I greatly enjoyed his sarcasm and humor and we kept in touch visiting each other wherever we both moved. We hadn’t seen each other in person in a while but we kept in contact and I had been hearing about “Frenchy” for quite some time and finally had the pleasure of meeting Delphine last year when I visited Dublin and spent a glorious banter-filled weekend with the two of them. I remember thinking they were perfect for each other and I was happy they found each other.

I arrived in Ireland Thursday and spent the evening with the two of them. They were kind enough to arrange my way over to Doolin with their friend Gerry. Their wedding day was over in a blur. I started off with Delphine getting ready with her mum, sister, and nieces. Everyone in the room was easy to photograph as they were relaxed and cheerful. Her nieces were quite inquisitive and their curiosity provided fantastic moments. I quickly ran up to meet my friend and took some photos of the groom getting ready as well as a few family photos.

Their lovely humanist ceremony was starting and over before we knew it with some heartfelt and humorous moments shared by all. We had been discussing what to as far as weather the past few days and since the sun was out after the ceremony we decided to seize the opportunity. Their friend Javed (and now mine) kindly drove us to various locations around Doolin. It was blustery to say the least for the couples photos but extreme weather can make for dramatic photos if the couple is up for braving the cold and these two certainly were.

part 2 of Emily & Andy’s wedding

Andy was my first friend and when moved to York in the fall of 2011. He was also my first flatmate and a fantastic one at that and we moved to the next flat together as well. He eventually moved to Leeds for work and I eventually moved back to Edinburgh but we’ve stayed in touch over the years even as I’ve floated around. On a trip back to Edinburgh over New Years I was fortunate that Andy & Emily were also visiting and that’s when I met her for the first time. I was delighted Andy had found such a caring, funny and lovely person.

Fast forward to August 9th and the big day. I’m always delighted to photograph friends weddings because you get to spend more time with them as the photographer than the other guests and this always makes me feel a bit special. I started with a few photos of Andy getting ready and they were relaxed and having a good time. I must say Andy I’ve always enjoyed Andy’s banter and it was great catching up with him whilst finishing getting ready and we had some good laughs as a result.

I headed over to Emily and she was absolutely full of joy. Emily was perhaps the happiest bride I’ve encountered and it really makes my job much easier as well as simply being uplifting to be around. She was in her dress and ready to go and I was able to get a couple of bridal portraits and a few moments with her dad before heading over to the Baltic Contemporary Art Gallery.

The ceremony was short and sweet with some brilliant readings by some of their closest friends. Soon they were getting hugs and congratulations from their guests. We went outside for some quick group photos (I always appreciate doing less and was delighted they didn’t want many). We snapped some couples photos outside because the weather was especially unpredictable that day.

Before I knew it the speeches were starting and I was delighted to see Emily giving the first speech. I often wonder why more brides don’t speak and was delighted that she bucked tradition. All the speeches were fab and soon we enjoyed a hog roast. The staff turned the room around and soon the dancing began. I loved watching them dance and sing together on the dance floor. The guests followed right along and it was an active dance floor and quite a lively fun loving crowd. We went outside near the end for some last photos on the Millenium footbridge before coming inside for an epic last dance. Thrilled to be a part of their special day and look forward to seeing them in the future!
