Many, if not all couples, have probably passed the comment that they'd love to do their wedding day all over again...

Caireen & Rónán faced the choice, that many engaged couples do, of what sort of wedding day to have - a small intimate gathering, or a good & proper shindig... They, however, came up with their own novel solution - why not both?? First up was the family gathering; with their ceremony at St Columba's Long Tower Church, (not to be confused with St Columb's Cathedral, as if anyone would), before a stroll for their guests, in autumn sunshine, to the Bishops Gate Hotel; with a slight detour, via a walk on the Derry Walls, for the happy couple, with just myself & a bus load of tourists for company.... Here's the story of their day(s)... Part One                                                                                                          Reception Bishops Gate Hotel Flowers: John Paul Florist Ceremony Music: Ruth Mc Phillips / Peter Doherty_/ Robert Peoples Reception Music Jazz Gazzette Wedding Car Fairytale Wedding Cars Wedding Cake Pretty Elegant Cakes Séanan made her First Communion... so she went for a dander around Brooke Park with her Mum, Dad & Big Sis... I dandered along with them and took some photos as we went - it would have been silly not too ;-) So here's a random wee selection from our afternoon...               Eileen & Paul's Wedding was the story of two Bally's... with my day starting with Eileen & her bridal party in Ballykelly as they prepared for the day ahead, before it ended late into the evening at Ballyliffin Lodge... In between there was the wee matter of a wedding ceremony at St Finlough's, where Eileen & Paul said their 'I Do's' in the company of their friends and family; a quick stop off in Ballykelly Forest allowed us a few portraits, before the kind folks of Cool Classics took the bridal party across the Foyle and into Inishowen. To say the happy couple and their guest intended to enjoy the evening to the full would be an understatement.... and so with the dance floor packed they celebrated into the wee hours... Here's a few photos from their day.... (comment away below)                                                                                                                                                 For those interested in the finer details here's a few of the folks who helped make the day... Eileen's Dress - Beautiful Day Bridal Cottage Greysteel Suits - Cityman Derry Ceremony - St Finlough's. Ballykelly Reception - Ballyliffin Lodge Flowers - Shaueen Nicoll Limavady Ceremony & Pre-Dinner Music - Turas Girls Band/DJ The Collective Wedding band Cars - Cool Classics Derry Cake - Kathleen Crossan Videography - Devine Moments Greysteel Room Dressing - Canterbury Tails Selfie Mirror - Walled City Photobooths Bridesmaid Dresses: Ultimate Dresses Winter isn't the most obvious time of year for an outside family photoshoot... but when the timing works and you manage to find some dry time behind the rain, snow & wind it can be a great time to wrap up warm and create unique portraits... which is what the O'Neill - Mullan - Waterhouse's did in the run up to Christmas to get some images for Granny's present...            |
