Bron & Dave

 So, this was quite a dreamy wedding... it involved travelling across the country and getting a ferry with five of my friends over to Inisbofin island, I've wanted to visit this island for years and when Bron & Dave emailed me it seemed like the perfect offer!

Their wedding was so unique - with over 40 aussies flying over, they had a 3 day festival of events on the island where Daves family live, and where he and Bron first met. The wedding ceremony was on the beach in the bright but misty afternoon, and the reception in gorgeous big tents beside the beach that they decorated with flowers from the island. We stayed up dancing with them untill about 6am, when the sun rose and the island just looked amazing





The ceremony was pagan, with little rituals about finding your best friend and life partner, and blessing things like the earth they walk on and the air they breathe, and it ended with their hands being tied together!




So, despite the cold, we took to the fields with the wedding party and took some group photos in the mist! 


Bron said from the beginning she wanted a 'levitating' wedding photo!


The speeches were hilarious too, it's a funny thing being present at someones wedding when you don't know them that well - you get such a great picture of their lives and their adventures...



Since we were on an island and I was staying in a lovely little house there, we stayed for the whole night, dancing and chatting till morning and just generally having way too much fun for a 'job' ...


Bron & Daves first dance was a surprise for all the guests - they had taken Irish Dancing lessons!



Fingers firmly crossed that I get to shoot another wedding as amazing as this!! 

So, got to say a few thanks - first to Daves friend Eamonn who reccomended me for this wedding! Also my friends Declan, James, Andy, Tina and Carl who came over to Bofin for the week as well, and most importantly - to photographer Kyle Tunney for being my second-shooter for this wedding - he came all the way over to Inisbofin and he's just great to work with - I know I can trust him and he gets brilliant shots! So check out his work here !!
