A recent evening with Grainne & Andy (and girls) ahead of their BIshop's Gate Hotel Wedding was a good chance for me to get to know some of the smaller members of their wedding party ahead of what will be a very family orientated big day later this month. It was also a chance for them to get used to me pointing a camera in their direction - luckily Andy went home with his soul still intact so we put that worry to bed for him at least...

A walk, with cartwheels (not from me I should add!) was followed up by a stop in at the Bishops Gate Hotel itself for a quick scout of their wedding venue, where the excitement was almost palpable...

It's often said planning a family photo-shoot around an activity everyone enjoys will result in more relaxed and natural photographs, so what better time to capture Simone's party loving family than during her sixth birthday bash! 

My expectations were high after witnessing mum Cassie's meticulously planned Mad Scientist & Wonderland themes for previous parties, and it's fair to say Rainbows didn't disappoint this time out - as you can clearly see in the smiley colourful faces below.....

As I'd mentioned on their sneak peek photos what better way to discuss the finer details of Shauna & Darren's Wedding Photos than while enjoying a walk around Swan Park... even if Oisin was somewhat disappinted that we didnt catch any Pokemon!
