Documentary wedding photography & film in Ireland

Spring sun. Hurleys raised.

A morning of nerves and laughter at home, a church ceremony with a guitar and voice, and a guard of honour of raised hurleys on the way out. At Darver Castle there was time under the old stone arch and in the gardens, then a champagne tower, a first dance with the band and fireworks over the lawn. This selection follows Abbie and Patrick’s wedding through the moments in between.

The wedding film

Abbie & Patrick, on film.

The guitar in the church, the clatter of hurleys and the fireworks at the end of the night. Some things need sound.
