A little while back I posted a sneak preview of Maria & Keith’s wedding but have now put together a bigger compilation of images for you to enjoy.
In a typical Galway day of starting a bit overcast it soon developed into something more interesting with sunshine. The typical morning chaos at the bride preparation slowly developed into something very organised as the make-up and hair was finished and the girls getting their stunning outfits.
St Mary’s Church is a very popular spot with beautiful details inside and the lighting, from a photographers point of view, is perfect as not too harsh creating lovely soft tones.
Boy oh boy, you have just got to love the dress by Ian Stuart, a real stunner indeed
I love love catching these little moments like this. Nothing is said, just a glance, a smile, a gentle squeeze of the hand – beautiful!!

Superb wedding images! Really feel the emotion of the big day by the entire bridal/groom party and captured so well by the photographer’s input! (My compliments to whoever picked out the lovely bridesmaid dresses and venue.) Terrific lighting captured in the wedding cake photo as well as others.
more than utterly beautiful and lovable. class mike (and married couple, family &friends)
Mike, you truly have a gift for capturing the moment in a lyrical, poetic way! I especially like the rose in the ring, the grinning bride & the B/W shot of the bride & groom sitting before the altar!
Such stunning images of their special day!!
Beautiful set of pics Mike. Love them all, especially all the dresses hanging up and the ones in church. Love the last one too. Alan
Hi Mike. A great series of images which I’m sure Maria & Keith will treasure. Personal faves have to be “Cake detail” (I love the bokeh effect on the background lights) , “The look” (it just says the excitement n joy of it all) and the head shot of Maria in “Maria prep”.
What short of lens set-up do you use? DOF is nice & tight in some images so I would imagine you’ve got some fast glass there.
Really stunning images Mike! Love your eye for details!
Lovely bride and beautiful location! I love the shot of her in the car. Just beautiful!
Thanks for the kind words everyone, really appreciate you taking the time to have a look and leave a message.
@ David – have a variety of lenses starting at F1.2 to F2.8 so all pretty fast indeed.
Love love love them all! Super shots!!!
Beautiful images, the bride looks stunning and I love her dress. Love the bridesmaid dresses too, and the blue is gorgeous. Beautiful venue for the ceremony! Really stunning images of their special day, great work Mike!

Hey!! Absolutely beautiful photo’s. I came across your blog when I googled St Mary’s Church as Myself and my Fiancé are hoping to get married in St Mary’s in April 2013. We will definitely keep you in mind as our photographer Mike. How do we get in touch with you to discuss prices? Cheers.
