Laura & Glen - A Wedding in Ireland

I have always wanted to travel to Ireland. My family heritage is Irish and I have longed to visit the place where my ancestors came from. Well, I was able to make that happen thanks to Laura & Glen this year!

Laura & Glen met in New Orleans while Glen was on a trip from Calgary with his buddies and Laura was visiting from Ireland with her girlfriends. The stars truly aligned for these two to find each other and fall in love.

I used to work with Glen at TELUS many years ago and when he messaged me to discuss his wedding in Ireland and the opportunity to be their photographer arose, I was over the moon! Not only would I get to capture the moments from Glen's big day, but I would also be able to tour Ireland. Dave was not able to make the trip with me, but my friend Brian came along to hold lights and camera bags etc. He did a fantastic job and I know he had a great time... and they enjoyed having him there as well. I'll be writing about my Ireland adventures in an upcoming post, so for now, please take a look at the gallery below to see some of the photos from the wedding held in Killarney, County Kerry. The reception was held at the Dunloe Hotel which had a castle on their grounds - and yes, I know there are several photos below with this castle but come on, it's a castle! How could I not take a million photos of it??.

I'm so very happy for Laura & Glen. And I am honoured that I was able to be there to photograph their day. Thanks for having me!

Bonnie and Doug

What an experience!

What a beautiful wedding.

Bonnie and Doug booked us several years ago to shoot their big day. It feels like so long ago that we braved the bitter February cold for their engagement session. When we signed up for it, it was going to be a standard in-Edmonton event. As time passed however, the idea of a Mexican wedding emerged and we couldn't have been more excited to be a part of it.

The two-week affair started with a small, intimate ceremony at the Sawridge Inn in Edmonton where Doug, a newly graduated RCMP officer, was decked out in his Red Serge, while Bonnie looked stunning in her first of two dresses. We took a few photos there then we were off to Cancun. 

A beautiful stay at the Dreams Puerto Aventuras. The staff were excellent. The food was exceptional. The location, every photographer's dream. We are so happy with how the photos turned out.

Here are some of the shots from the Edmonton portion of the wedding.

Thanks again for having us Bonnie and Doug. We are so happy for the two of you.
