So my blogging frequency still hasn’t improved but I am definitely still about! Make sure you check out my Facebook page “Christina J Irwin Photography” to keep up to date with all that’s happening! Here are a few from a recent shoot with the lovely Amy and Vlad, can’t wait for your wedding!

In the meantime, a few bits from the last few months.

Lovely sand ceremony where they poured sand from two different locations to symbolise their marriage. So sweet.

Mr and Mrs Foxy! I mean, Fox.

And last but not least, a little bit of colour to shake things up.

Thanks, Daveth and Trish!

How’s that for a happy bunch?

One of the loveliest weddings I’ve had the privilege of being a small part of, it was a gorgeous day with a wonderful couple and here is their sneak peek.

Thank you, Shelley and Clive!

And I’ll end with a bit of Shelley, Percy that is, for Shelley.

“See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;–
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?”

Max asked me to help with his wedding photographs a few months back and knowing how late in the game I would be by the time it rolled around, I made no promises, but boy was I glad to be part of their wonderful day. The ceremony was a traditional handfasting and it was held at Markree Castle in Co Sligo. Very intimate and very personal, it was a great experience. I hope these have done their day some justice!

A quick retouch.

Ahhhhhhhhh. Gorgeous cake, made by the groom’s mum!

It’s so hard to choose which photos to include here but I hope it’s given you a flavour of their day.

Check back soon!

This photo was taken during the rehearsal the night before, was praying I’d get one as good on the day itself!

new trend, wedding shoes instead of stockings?

Hello, baby.

Was there ever a more relaxed groom?

Or a prettier bridesmaid?

Radiant!

More soon!

I am only just going through the photos from Karen and Ronan’s amazing wedding. So, this isn’t so much a sneak peek as a sneak! Check back for more of this beautiful bride. Oh, and the groom too.

My favourite photo of the two of us.

The large sprays of orchids was the florists idea of “simple”. Look fantastic though, doesn’t it?

The irish contingent that came out to party with us.

Yes, this is my bridal party. All of them. Not big by Filipino standards, honest, I’ve seen bigger!

It’s hard to believe that 5 years, to this very day, has passed since we said “I do”. So much has changed (arjay’s hair, we have a 2 year old, i love my husband more), yet so much still the same as well (my hair, the extra 5, 10, 20 pounds i have yet to shift, still in ireland).

Anyway, here’s to the next fifty!
