Chris and Elaine

I used to say that October was one of the safest months to get married, weather wise. It can be cold but usually it's dry and the light is just lovely. Well all last week I was watching the weather reports like a hawk because it's just been pretty dismal all of October and it looked like Thursday was going to be rainy and cold. But thankfully it was managable and everyones spirits were high and happy throughout the entire day despite the rainy cold :) 

It started at Elaine's house and I'd be as close to saying that this wedding morning was one of the most chilled out I've ever been involved in. So so lovely. 

Elaine's dad Ian is just a class act. In fact all of her family were just lovely to be around.

Elaine and all the girls makeup was done by the lovely Fionnuala McKenna from Heavenly Beauty and the hair was done by Lynn Cooper

I loved these bridemaids dresses!

The lovely flowergirl Katie

 And Pageboy Jude

Elaine was just the most chilled out and relaxed bride I've met! So lovely!

They were married at Balligan Church in Kircubbin and I *LOVED* it. Anita from Fabulous Flowers not only did all the bouquets but also decorated the outside of the church and the inside, making it look absolutely stunning!

When I visited the Church on Wednesday I was unable to get inside and I realised it would be pretty small and possible pretty dark. But when I arrived on Thursday I was blown away by the light inside, despite the church being lit by candlelight alone. So beautiful. Elaine's brother arrived early and lit all the candles before the guests arrived :)

I was pre-warned that Chris would be quite shy to photograph, but he was just grand :)

I loved this moment!

 Elaine you truly did beam all day!

If you've an eagle eye you'll spot just how hard it was raining throughout the rest of the shots, but Elaine and Chris and their wedding party were game and despite the freezing cold, they stood outside with me and didn't complain one bit :)

Congratulations to Chris and Elaine and have a lovely honeymoon!! xox
