Joleen and Chris

What can I say about Chris and Joleen? Where on earth do I start?!

I will never forget meeting Joleen a few years back at a party and her telling me about a guy she'd recently met. It was all early days but he was 'just lovely'. Fly forward a few years and I was photographing their wedding. Isn't that magic? I love it. :)

Chris and Joleen light up a room when they are in each others company. It's the best way to describe them. You would think that they have been together forever. 

The day started at Joleen's house after I managed to get lost in Saintfield! I always take emergency phone numbers before a wedding day but have never had to use them - until Joleen's wedding! So a special hug goes to Joleen for not only having her phone right beside her while she was at the hairdressers but also for talking a very ditzy me through driving directions!! Give the girl a medal. 

Gorgeous Joleen

Flower girls were so cute!

Adam is the spit of his Mum!

Chris is just lovely. He is the major reason as to why I shed a tear during their wedding ceremony. Chris was in a bit of a panic before the ceremony as he felt he was running late, and because of that his nerves had got the better of him and he was shaking. On top of that the ceremony room was very warm but he kept this big massive smile on his face, and if I hadn't been taking this photo I think I would have been hugging him.

And then Joleen was there walking towards him and when she saw him she gave him the biggest smile. Chris's reaction was tears. Proper real big tears which set everyone off and I'll will never forget witnessing Joleen's surprise and then watching her hold his hands in hers at the top of aisle. Those hands never left each others until they exchanged rings and to me that moment is Chris and Joleen.

Further proof that I am hilarious. (I like to think that they were laughing with me instead of at me ;)

Seriously gorgeous Joleen. In fact Chris and Joleen are RIDICULOUSLY photogenic!! Such a pleasure to photograph

This next shot isn't perfect but I had to sneak it in - they did this so many times on their wedding day ;)

This shot happened because of Chris ;)

The talented girls at Charm Wedding Studio designed the reception room and all of their little touches were fantastic!! They even had a box of slippers so that there were no excuses for not dancing the night away on the dance floor. Chris and Joleen also decided to name their tables after famous movie quotes. I loved their top table name!!

Not only was being a  part of your day lovely, but being with the two of you was an experience I just loved. Thank you so much for asking me and inviting me to be a part of it. You are just two beautiful people xoxox
