Alan Clarke & Carmel O’Rourke – Ireland’s Wedding Journal Feature
The Bell Tower was gorgeous with stunning stone walls, sunlight pouring through the arched window and a big bell pull of chunky sisal rope and a huge tassel to pull.
A busy morning with four bridesmaids, one flower-girl and mum also getting ready and but Rebecca’s house tinkled with laughter as the ladies got ready. The pale blue for the bridesmaids photographed delightfully all day and the exuberant bouquets of pinks, white and blues drew out the colour of the satin and the bride’s gorgeous blue eyes. Great family wedding photos were captured just before Rebecca left for the church as all her family turned up to see her off. Cloonclare Parish church is a very attractive sandstone building with high bell tower and David captured great wedding photographs of the groom’s party outside before Rebecca arrived. Inside throughout the ceremony wonderful warm light streamed through the stain glass windows adding another dimension to the wedding photos. The Bell Tower was gorgeous with stunning stone walls, sunlight pouring through the arched window and a big bell pull of chunky sisal rope and a huge tassel on the end.

Glencar Waterfall is Wonderful for Wedding Photos.
Just a small detour brought Rebecca and Patrick to Glencar Waterfall. Really well maintained this location has a huge amount to offer couple for their wedding photography. Winding paths through a gently wooded landscape offers lots of movement and more informal photos with bridges to pause at and a bubbling brook alongside. But it is the waterfall itself that is the showstopper. Wooden steps leading up along the side of the waterfall makes for excellent access but also allows for a play with height and scale all with the afternoon sun sparkling on incredible mossy curved walls. With so many fantastic photos already in the bag it was still worth stopping along the shores of Glencar Lake to get the iconic shot with the ridge of Benbulen directing you towards Sligo town. So much to play with and fabulous album photos captured but still the drive to Enniscrone was ahead. Rebecca and Patrick celebrated their marriage at The Diamond Coast Hotel where Mary and the staff awaited with the warmest of welcomes
