WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Sara & Evan – Mount Falcon
Sara and Evan’s 2022 celebration illustrates the best of an updated and contemporary take
on a ‘traditional’ celebration. They chose a church wedding with a reception in glorious
Mount Falcon in Co. Mayo. Church weddings can often generate some lovely images as
something about the more traditional setting often create some giddiness and happy nerves
amongst the wedding party while everyone waits for the bride to arrive. That atmosphere
comes across in these images, where we can see the groomsmen and the guests laughing
together as they wait for Sara to join them. Sara was led into the church by her 3
bridesmaids dressed in classic burgundy, and the couple’s niece and nephew. Check out the
images of the little ones waiting in the church entrance for their big moment to shine, so
very cute.
After the ceremony there was more great chat and laughter outside the church in the bright
sunshine. The challenge for me in these scenarios is to ensure that these informal moments
are captured, whilst also making sure the couple have enough time to move on to the next
stage of the day. Luckily at this stage I am practiced in time management!
For this couple, the next stage involved some G&T’s in the sunshine for their guests whilst
they made their way across Mount Falcon’s lovely gardens to meet me for some quick
photos. In addition to the usual wedding party images, the bride made sure to grab some
photos with her wider circle of friends.
Inside the venue, the couple gave a nod to their love of travel in their table names- all
named after locations they had visited together; Australia, Bali, Singapore, Chile, Argentina,
Hungary, and many more! The fathers of the happy couple offered up touching and
heartfelt speeches, and the best man drew on his many years of friendship with Evan to
ensure I was able to capture one of my favorite photos from dinner, of Evan cringing in
laughter in response to his speech!
