Caolann & Donal’s Wedding Photography

Our own village of Cootehall was the focus of all the action on the morning of 22^nd May 2015. Laughter rang along the road between Caolann and Donal’s home, Henry’s bar and the church between. The ladies: Caolann, her daughters, sisters and mother creating a wonderful buzz as each got ready for the day ahead.  The gold satin sash on Caolann’s lace gown matched the gold brocade of her daughters dresses which were matched by their gold ‘Mary Janes’, gorgeous, adding soft glowing tones to the  wedding photographs.

Donal and the guys checked out the church before risking a quick tipple in Henry’s. David made it back to the house for Caolann’s family wedding photos before she made a very short journey to the church in a vintage Rolls Royce. Caolann made a spectacular entrance with eight in her bridal party as they made their way up the aisle to join Donal. Fr Brian Conlon always has the warmest of welcomes and Caolann and Donal’s ceremony was soon underway. Warm weather and gentle skies allowed for family group wedding photos to be taken outside the church before the wedding party made their way to our very favourite photography location.

The Bluebell Wood at Oakport, for three weeks of the year, becomes a magical carpet deep in a haze of blue with tall trunks of beech leading up to a dancing canopy of verdant foliage. The softness of the forest floor contrasts with the rigid strength of the verticals while dappled light scatters through to catch the wedding party as they wander along the narrow pathways. All Wedding photography in this stunning location which comes around just once a year is always a thrill. The wedding photographs of Caolann, Donal and their three children in this fabulous sylvan setting will make for memorable wedding album design. With Lough Rynn and the terraced wall gardens still on the wish list the bluebells were left behind. The limestone steps and strong structural design of the walled gardens offered incredible contrast for more wedding photos. Always so much to choose from at Lough Rynn but guests were waiting for the wedding party to join them in the baronial hall.

A wonderful day in every way.
