The day started off nice and bright with a few drops of rain whilst driving to the hotel. But then what do you expect when you are living in a part of the country that has a 3rd more rain in the year compared to Dublin

The bride prep started off in the lovely and swish Twelve Hotel in Barna. What I really liked about the start of the day was seeing so many family and friends popping in and seeing Sinead and generally making the most of the day already, helped along with a glass of bubbly of course

Every now and then we do get great weather and of course a trip to the beach is a must

Just to try something a little different. I asked the guys in the lifeguard station would they mind joining in the fun and of course they jumped at the opportunity. One of them even said that in all the weddings they had seen using the beach, it was the the first time they had ever been asked to join in so it made it even more special for everyone.

Once we finished rolling about in the sand we headed over to do some alternative images using the woods as a backdrop. I love the natural light and the contrast of the colours against the bridal party outfits – gorgeous!!!!!
