emma & padraic
Emma & Padhraic’s wedding was fantastic from start to finish. I genuinely could not have asked for a nicer couple and we hit it off from our first meeting. While photographing another wedding a few month later, we bumped into one another outside the church: it turned out that they were guests at that wedding and that was a lovely coincidence. On the morning of the wedding I started by photographing some of the preparations at Emma's parents house near Stradbally, then went on to Borris House to document what was happening with Padhraic. It was like a beehive there, everyone was busy setting everything up for the outdoors ceremony. It was my first time shooting in Borris House and I was blown away instantly and by the time late that evening, it had become one of my top favourite wedding venues! The ceremony was both personal and emotional - how moving that Padhraic got tears in his eyes as he watched Emma and her Dad making their way down the aisle towards him!
The day went like a dream, there was beautiful singing, lots of exquisite nibbles and various drinks and much chatting and fun. The family and group shots went very well, everybody was looking at the camera when they were supposed to and no-one went missing. I then took Emma & Padhraic for a stroll around the grounds which are stunning, then we roped in the wedding party (the best man and the maid of honour) and went into the lace garden to take more photos. Emma & Padhraic were such fun to work with, they were basically laughing or smiling pretty much all the time, they were both in great humour and had such a beautiful connection... it was a joy to capture it! I must say as well that their friends and family were absolutely lovely, it was great interacting with them. I left that evening after capturing a few dances and when I went to say goodbye to Emma & Padhraic I got a big hug from both of them. That was the perfect ending to my day!
Here is the testimonial Emma & Padhraic sent me:
"We are so delighted that we chose David as our photographer for our big day. David was an absolute pleasure to chat to and work with from the moment we met him and we could not have been happier with his dedication to our wedding memories. David was calm under pressure, polite and cheerful with our guests and genuinely delighted for us on our special day. He made everything easy, seamless and fun for us!
We were blown away when we received David’s photographs. He has an incredible eye for detail and all of the photos captured the fun and laughter from our wedding so beautifully. Our wedding album, and the albums for our parents, turned out even better than we could have imagined. David combined all of the special moments and made one photo flow into the next to recreate our wedding day for us all over again. Thank you for capturing wonderful memories David".
