Abby & Ger's Destination Wedding Pt. 2: The Cliff House Hotel, Ardmore, Ireland

I photographed Abby and Ger’s destination wedding in Ireland over three days. While my last blog post showed their wedding portraits and landscapes, this post features their wedding ceremony and reception.

All of these photographs were taken at two locations: St. Laurence Catholic Church in Dungarvan and the Cliff House Hotel in Ardmore. Ger’s family has lived in Dungarvan for generations and St. Laurence is their family church. Their wedding reception and after party were held at the Cliff House Hotel.

Abby & Ger's Destination Wedding: Waterford Co., Ireland. Part 1

At the beginning of August I traveled to Ireland and photographed Abby and Ger’s wedding. Abby and Ger make their home in Boston, but Ger is originally from Ireland and his family still live there. I still can’t believe how lucky I was — not only in terms of being able to travel to such a beautiful place, but to spend the weekend with this couple and their wonderful family and friends.

The wedding ceremony took place in Ger’s hometown of Dungarvan and the wedding reception was held at the Cliff House Hotel in Ardmore. I decided to break the photos into two posts, with this first one focusing on portraits and the landscape.

Sandra & Justin's Wedding at the Kinney Bungalow, Narragansett, Rhode Island

Two Rhode Island wedding blog posts in one week! Sandra and Justin were recently married at the Kinney Bungalow in Narragansett, Rhode Island. It felt like the hottest day of the year. I checked the weather temp and it said “feels like 107.” As they were getting ready there was the most incredible torrential downpour, thunder, and lightning. I thought it added to the excitement. Then as they were leaving for the Bungalow, the rains ceased and clouds parted and everything just came together.

Charlene & Ladd's Wedding at The State Room, Boston

I always think about how weddings are one of the few times in most people’s lives when they’ll commission art. From makeup and hair to flowers and photography, weddings are very much a creative expression of who a couple is. Charlene and Ladd’s wedding was classic, beautiful, fashionable, and fun. Their ceremony and reception were held at one of Boston’s most beautiful venues with a view of the city: The State Room.

We started the photography with some getting-ready photos at the Millennium Bostonian Hotel, which is right near Faneuil Hall. Charlene’s makeup by Tavi De La Rosa for Dani Wagener. Hair by Eva of James Joseph Salon.

Ladd waits downstairs with his groomsmen in the lobby of the Millennium Hotel.
I love these two bridal photos below. Isn’t she gorgeous? I told Charlene that we’d use a sunny window to light her portraits. It’s fickle and you can’t control it, but the sun is the ultimate light. Charlene’s flowers by Sarah of Spruce Floral.
Charlene and her bridesmaids walked over to meet Ladd at Christopher Columbus Park for their first look. It’s always fun walking down the street with a bride! And Fanuiel Hall was packed on this Saturday.
Isn’t Charlene’s dress beautiful? “Isabella” dress by Vera Wang.
Photographing on this carousel wasn’t easy! I really had to hold on for dear life… or dear cameras. I had two cameras strapped around me while I stood against a horse and held on to the pole. Don’t try this at home.
The State Room has such an incredible view of the city. It’s like a constantly changing backdrop, as the light fades into night.

Caroline & Al's Wedding at Arlingtown Town Hall

Who knew that a town hall could be so beautiful? Caroline and Al recently had their wedding at the Arlington Town Hall in Massachusetts. Caroline grew up in Arlington so it was fitting that they would have their wedding there.

They had their first look and portraits before the ceremony, in one of the upstairs rooms at Town Hall. Normally I would do the first look outdoors, but the light and atmosphere inside was really nice.

Their ceremony was originally scheduled to be held outdoors, but it started raining so we moved inside. You really can’t go wrong at this venue for an outside or indoor wedding.

Seasoned To Taste catered the wedding. The food was excellent!

Jana & Scott's Wedding: The Red Lion Inn, Cohasset

Jana and Scott recently had their wedding at the Red Lion Inn in Cohasset, Massachusetts. You might remember their camping engagement session at Walden Pond. These two are a really fun and creative couple!

Jana and Scott had tons of DIY details at their wedding: Jana wore a handmade necklace, earrings and hair clip; their wedding bands were made by a friend; and Jana made folded paper decorations. Scott –who is an illustrator and designer — designed their wedding logo and created their cake topper. There were temporary tattoos and a photo booth and a balloon drop… and the list of creative details goes on!

Red Lion Inn Wedding
Jana’s bouquet was composed of bouquet with lilac, green orchids, purple anemonies, green cymbidium blossom, hybrid star of Bethlehem, white freesia, fiddle fern and globe thistle accented with branches and seeded eucalyptus tied with an ivory satin ribbon
Scott’s sister Lisa was part of the Groom’s party. She was the Best Woman! Well, “Best” next to Jana.:)
Scott wore a Ben Sherman suit. His boutonnière was made from a purple dendrobium orchid cluster with fiddle ferns and twigs. Jana wore pretty little lavender satin ballet flats.
The cake topper was made from plastic toys that Scott hand-painted. I love how the figures are dressed like the couple. He’s even wearing Scott’s plaid tie and she’s carrying a tiny version of origami paper flowers!
In the pool, there were loating clusters of white, lavender and green flowers on philodendron leaves with candles.
Jana and Scott had some noteworthy guests at their wedding…. seating cards at right, below.
