Murphy Kids - Gosford Forest Park


I had lots of fun with these gorgeous kids last month, a few hours spent in Gosford with bubbles, what better way to spend an afternoon? My job is not really work....well ok it is well it is the time i spent at the computer. But being outdoors having a laugh with lovely families is so enjoyable.

Michelle & Robert - Gosford Castle / Four Seasons Hotel Monaghan


The day had arrived - Michelle and Robert were set to tie the knot. It was a perfect morning, not too hot or windy... It was calm, as was Michelle. This was a rare local wedding for me, mostly based around Markethill, chapel in Mullaghbrack and locations for photos right on my doorstep, which meant one thing - LOTS of time for photos!! :)
There was plently of craic at the house, with the buzz of family and friends and the arrival of the wedding cars made it all feel so real. Michelle's dress was unique with the pleating detail, the shade of the dress suited her skin perfect. Oh i also have to mention how amazing are her eyes???? Like big puppy dog eyes. I wish i had those eyes!!
Off to the church we went, the Chapel had just been newly renovated so it made their service even more special.
First stop was Gosford Castle, i have to say with living locally i know Gosford Forest Park better than most, i adore shooting here. So many amazing locations but by far is the Castle, only a select few get permission inside. Games of Thorne had just finished filming a week or so before their wedding so i am limited to what i can show you online due to copyright. Big sad face :(
Yes then a barley field - many of you will know i LOVE fields. In a past life i must have been a farmer. I just want to say thank you so much to Michelle and Robert for trusting me with choosing locations for their wedding photos and having patience and most of all enjoying the experience. It makes such a difference when we have lots of time and fun on beautiful locations.
After all our adventurous locations we headed to Monaghan to their hotel, the lovely Four Seasons. The room looked wonderful as always, lots of natural light. Michelle even had a sweetie table for her younger guests to enjoy - the older guests probably loved it even more!!

Audrey & Ian - Manor House Hotel


Phew this day was a scorcher, a real Summer's day. My drive up to Castlederg past all the barley fields was a relaxing one and when i got to Audrey's parents home they really welcomed me in and made me feel at home. I adored her dress, it suited her so well - Audrey glowed the entire day, she has such a beautiful smile. At the church the boys were calm as anything and the service flowed well, with the page boy and flower girl putting on a romantic show for all after... see below! After the church we popped by to the couple's new home for a few photos at the barn beside their house before finishing our journey at the wonderful Manor House Hotel. I salute Audrey for being so brave and walking along the jetty (duck poo and all) for photographs - thank u!! :) Enjoy a few of my favourites below of the new Mr and Mrs Clarke.
