I travelled to the Diamond Coast hotel to capture some bridal shots of Eimear and her bridal party the morning of their wedding.

Bridal preparations in hotel suites are often a really nice idea as they tend to have a more relaxed atmosphere which is exactly how every bride should start her day! By request of the couple, we did some ‘First Look’ shots. These are always amazing shots to do and they definitely help with any nerves surrounding the ceremony. The civil ceremony took place in the Diamond Coast, with rituals including a sand ritual, rose ritual and wine box ritual.

The wine box wedding ceremony ritual. The couple seals a special bottle of wine in a box during their wedding ceremony. The celebrant explains that the couple will open and drink the wine together on their first wedding anniversary, 10th wedding anniversary or another special date. After a beautiful ceremony I captured their reception and sparkler shots after. It was a beautiful day of celebration for a very happy couple surrounded by family and friends. Congratulations to Eimear and Gerry and thank you so much for choosing me to capture your special day!
