Three weeks ago I travelled down to Rosslare in County Wexford to shoot the wedding of Eamonn and Anna (my first!). I was so excited when I met them to find out that not only is Anna a wedding organiser, but Eamonn is a blogger and he and his family are the florists behind flowersmadeeasy.ie! I knew this was going to be a gorgeous wedding and it really was. Even with the monsoon-like rain that decided to arrive and stay for the whole day! They have very graciously given me permission to blog some of the photos from the day and I can’t wait to show them to you all in the next day or so, but the flowers deserve a post all to themselves:

These displays were on all the tables for the cocktail hour after the ceremony:

Hello,
I’m looking forward to seeing these. Your photos are always interesting and nicely composed so I’m glad to see you’re getting business out of them!
K
nice shots. Did you use your primes all the way through the wedding?
Thanks Katherine!
Hi Ryan, I did use my primes for most of the wedding, particularly before and after, but for the ceremony I must admit I’ve added a certain white beast of a lens, a 70-200mm like your own. I still much prefer my primes but I felt like I needed to have that extra bit of reach for the church. It’s such an obnoxious looking lens, I really don’t get why they had to make it white! I’m thinking at some point in the future I may very well trade it in for this guy.
These shots are beauties, really nicely composed.
Great shots. Congrats on your first wedding, looks like you did a smashing job. I’m doing my first wedding next month and hope I can do half as well. I saw that lens (70-200mm)online and wanted it but the white put me off it, I know what you mean. Hope you get many more weddings.
Mmmmmmmm 70-200 on a 5D.. started using mine more and more on it recently and it’s so crazy sharp. I had a go of that 135 f2 not so long ago, it’ll most definately be joining the kit at some stage.
I did think at one stage about shooting the entire wedding ceremony from the gallery with a 400 f2.8.. 😀
Thanks Donal and Dee. Good luck next month Dee!
Ryan…now that I’d like to see, could be very cool! I’ll go with you and shoot the whole thing from the base of the altar at 17mm ;D
Gorgeous colours and compositions. Good work.
