With their original wedding date just a week after the first lockdown in 2020, Ailbhe & Paddy had a few false starts before they finally walked down the aisle at their beautiful City Hall wedding in Dublin, but it was definitely worth the wait! With understated glam the order of the day, the bride was stunning with an old Hollywood style hairstyle adorned with jewels and a fully beaded gown with just the right amount of vintage charm. Bridesmaids in dresses the colour of summer clouds and the gents in black tie added the perfect touches to this truly classic wedding. It felt like walking into a house filled with old friends that morning and I’ve become firm friends with both of their very glamorous mammies! (we could have chatted for hours!) The beautiful flowers were created by Paddy’s talented mum, with roses and peonies continuing the classic summer look. We went for a stroll through the surrounding streets beside City Hall and created some fun urban portraits before heading to the wonderful Angler’s Rest for a warm welcome and delicious food in their elegant reception space. The cheese ‘cake’ by the team at the restaurant was spectacular! I had a wonderful time with Ailbhe & Paddy, and we parted with lots of virtual hugs that I wished could have been real.
Makeup was by the lovely Deirdre Lynch at Angel Face Makeup and hair by the equally lovely Martina King. Both were wonderful to work with and Ailbhe looked like a movie star all day! Music was provided by the talented and all round sound bloke Doug Sheridan! Donal from OC Wedding Videography was my video buddy for the day and was a pleasure to work with. Big thanks to the team at City Hall and the lovely Gemma at the Angler’s Rest!
