I always like to ask my couple – How did you meet? And to hear the answer ‘ – I just came home one day to find him on my couch! ”. How excited can it be?! Would like to know their experience on the Big Day? You might find it really helpful when preparing for your wedding!
Niam& Stephen, please tell about your love story:
We met when I was in college and Stephen moved to Dublin for work. He was my roommate’s friend – I just came home one day to find him on my couch! Three years later we started dating, and three years after that he proposed quietly and romantically at home.
Describe your wedding planning process:
We were engaged for just over a year and a half, which gave us plenty of time to plan. We were very lucky to get lots of help from both our families and from the bridal party. Our best decision was to keep all the parts of the wedding at locations close to each other. It really helped to make the wedding feel laid back and relaxed.
Recap your big day for us:
I don’t even know where to start! The day was a big happy blur! The speeches were a real highlight; Stephen’s best man, his brother, made everyone cry. We were both so nervous about our first dance, but it ended up being a close and memorable (though not well choreographed!) moment. A real highlight was spending time with friends and family we don’t see as often as we’d like to.
What about the details?
We really wanted a relaxed wedding with good food and good music. The atmosphere in the Station House Hotel (co Meath) was perfect for this, and our fantastic band kept everyone dancing.
What’s the best advice you can give to a bride and groom planning their own wedding?
Take your time with the planning and try to enjoy it. It can be stressful, but it’s fun too! Oh, and try to eat something the morning of the big day!
What has surprised you most during the first few months of marriage?
Nothing, although the first time I introduced Stephen to someone as my husband was a bit of a shock. Sometimes I still have to remind myself not to call him my boyfriend!
What do you look forward to most as Mr and Mrs?
Everything! A life full of joys and challenges, shared.

Kids at the wedding. It is always interesting part to photograph them!

Beautiful Irish bride Breigin and hot Italian man Andrea tied the knot on the 6th October, 2017 at the Kilmessan Church, following the reception at the Station house Hotel in Kilmessan, Co Meath.
Crazy bride and quiet groom. But they were matching so well together! Maria and Tom. Their wedding was really big big fun to photograph!
Slightly geeky wedding with a relaxed atmosphere and a feeling of informality, fun and lightheartedness. Comic book theme for tables, lego’s on the button holes and bouquets, space themed cake . Autumnal . Groom and groomsman in tweed waistcoats , bridesmaids in autumn colored dresses .
Sounds interesting? Have a look!
Aoife and Brian flew over UK to tie the knot at the beautiful hidden garden at the Station House Hotel in Ireland on the 26th August 2017. A literary themed wedding as both families share a love of books. There were several DIY details, such as book page flowers, a ring-box made from a hardback book, and a Harry Potter themed seating map. Colours were light blue and rose gold, and there day was very romantic with some whimsical elements!
