Sarah and Declan’s Wedding – Sixmilebridge
Sarah and Declan’s wedding brought us all the way down to Sixmilebridge in county Clare, to a little church appropriately called … ‘Little Church’. We received a very warm reception when we arrived the evening before and Sarah’s clan treated us like members of the family.
The day itself kicked off for me with photographing a hot towel shave all the lads were getting done in Limerick ’stab’ city in a cool little barbers called Figaro’s. Aga, on the other hand, went to photograph the bridal preparations, which only really got underway about five minutes before the ceremony was due to take place! The wedding was a real family effort with Sarah’s mum constructing not one, but two, floral bridal arches along with the lovely pews in the church. Sarah’s brother Johnny put together a wonderful display of lanterns in the reception area (The Dunraven Arms Hotel) and lots more besides.
It was a beautiful Spring day and the light was fantastic. After the ceremony we took off with the Bridal Party to some of the gorgeous natural locations in Clare for a little landscape session. … During which not even a muddy field (against a gorgeous white dress) or a few horses (around an allergic Best Man) could possibly have spoiled things! Taking photographs of Sarah & Declan’s family and friends was a pleasure from the word go.
Other highlights included a singing waiter and bottles of ‘Fat Bastard’ wine.
Below is a picture of Declan’s brother Brendan, being a bit of a mummy during his hot towel shave.
