Triona & Brian | Ballintubber abbey + Lisloughrey Lodge wedding

Ive covered quite allot of weddings in Ballintubber abbey over the last few weeks but its a place I never tire of. There are a few but not too many churches around that have such picturesque grounds around it. Perfect for any wedding photographer (when the rain stops). There could be a market there for bridal rain macs... I mean umbrellas don't do much good when the rain is coming at you from all angles do they. Stylish long white rubber/plastic coats with a cute little hood that complements any wedding dress. What bride wouldn't want one..... dragons den here I come. And hey, I want my commission if any of you guys use my idea.

It only rained a tiny bit on Triona & Brian's wedding at Ballintubber Abbey but the sun was beaming down when we arrived back to Cong for their reception in Lisloughrey Lodge and the few photos at Cong abbey.


They were such a wonderful couple and a pleasure to work with.

Sharon & David's wedding at Ballintubber abbey & The Lodge at Ashford, Mayo

A sneak peak into one more of the weddings I covered over Christmas. Sharon and David are a fantastic couple. Great fun to work with and so easy going. We started the day off at the Lodge at Ashford in Cong where they were both getting ready.
The ceremony took place at the beautiful Ballintubber abbey, Mayo.

As you can see from some of the photos that it wasn't the dryist  of days. (but I think it did rain for nearly all of the weddings I covered over Christmas). We didnt manage to get any photos outside the grounds of Ballintubber abbey with the rain being a bit too heavy. Luckily enough there was a break in the bad weather to pop outside and get a nice portrait when we got back to The Lodge at Ashford in Cong.
