Wedding: Ian + Amanda

May I introduce you to the newly-wed Jordans - who, according to a website the bride's sister pulled up, are 100% compatible! [If confirmation was needed on the wedding day, I think that would suffice ;) ] 

I worked on some of the images in a cafe, and must have been getting some looks as I giggled to myself  - never have I seen such an outwardly excited groom at the altar, waiting for his bride to come down the aisle! Ian was almost jumping on the spot, grinning from ear to ear and hardly able to contain himself... so wonderful to witness! I had such a great time with this couple and their bridal party and families, and was so happy to be a part of the day. Oh, and check out Amanda's funky purple shoes! And the gorgeous wedding cake details (hand made by Amanda's sister)... And the UH-MAZ-ING first dance!

Wedding: Emma + Andy

Never before has so much pretty bunting been seen in one day... When Emma and Andy chatted through what their day was going to look like, I knew I was going to need a bit more memory for my camera - talk about details! A beautiful walled garden at the groom's parents' house, decked in hundreds of yards of bunting (of course), lawn games, homemade elderflower and ale, an Italian ice cream cart, and (my favourite part) a Bluegrass band to entertain. When the onset of rain stopped the first dance happening as planned under the big tree, everyone was just moved inside where the band perched themselves on the stairs and Emma and Andy danced in the hall - a magic moment! And that was just one part of the day... 

The ceremony was held in the impressive Derry Cathedral with its ornate dark wood and lovely tiled floor, and the reception in a marquee a few miles away. The effort put in to dressing the venue certainly paid off, and it looked incredible. Check out the sweet, unusual favours - little muslin bags of bird seed! Loved this day, loved this bridal party, love this couple. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Good Great!
