Catherine & Dave {married} | St Mary’s Church, Claddagh & Ardilaun Hotel

April 24, 2013

Another wedding taking place at one of my favorite churches to get hitched and that being St Mary’s Church here in Galway. This church really does have some amazing stained glass windows which are so dramatic when the light is right.

The bride prep took place at the Ardilaun Hotel which is very handy especially considering how close it is to the church. It is always a saving grace afterwards as it saves worrying about the drive afterwards.

Maria & Keith (married) | St Mary’s Church, Claddagh & Meyrick Hotel

May 23, 2010

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.
