Meghan, originally from the USA and Jack, originally from Dublin, met while Meghan was doing her Master’s at Trinity College. The chapel is used for both traditions, and therefore, perfect for their wedding ceremony, which was co-officiated between a Catholic Priest and Protestant Pastor.

Meghan and Jack decided to ditch the standard receiving line in favor of a more unique idea. Instead of Meghan and Jack receiving the guests, they were received by the guests lined up (almost forming a tunnel) and waving small Irish and American flags as they walked through.

Surrounding the cake were framed photos of the couples’ grandparents and great-grandparents who couldn’t be present. Some have passed away and others couldn’t attend the wedding due to the far distance required to travel.

I’ll be continuing with my wedding ‘catch-up’ soon, and will have another wedding online shortly.

These are some photos I took in my home town (Trim, Co. Meath) last Christmas Day.

I’ll get back to posting my wedding catch-ups after Christmas……….

So, on to the photos. The first few were taken in Maynooth College – before the ceremony.

Next, the ceremony in a Dublin Hotel. Mainly for privacy reasons – I’ve omitted photos of this – so just have one image of the ring cushion to represent that part of the day.

Following the ceremony, everyone went on to ely winebar in the IFSC. This has some wonderful vaults under the original Stack A warehouse where it’s located. These offer a very atmospheric location for a wedding reception or other event. You can get  good idea of how they look in the following photos.

Somehow, the screen lights (above) reminded me of the Van Gogh “Starry Night” painting ! The following photos is how one of the vaults was set-up for the wedding party.

The rest of the phtoos are of the Bride & Groom – all taken indoors at ely.

BTW, you can contact ely here

Eoin & Judith and VIP chose a representative selection of photos – and inevitably many had to be omitted due to space limitations. Here are a few more of my personal  favourites :

During this time, the site may be unavailable for short periods of time – but email should continue to work normally.

Some of the Blog Menu items and options may not be fully working yet – but I’m getting there.

Apologies for any inconvenience !

In the meantime, here is one of my personal favourites from a recent wedding in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Powerscourt. The background is actually an art-glass piece located in their ‘Secret Garden”. I originally had plans for a few different photos there (after dark) but unfortunately, it began to rain, and so we cut back our plans and got just a few quick photos. The ground was wet, and so one of the hotel managers – Jens – is just out of sight, and holding the dress off the ground !
