Redcastle Hotel Wedding Photography - Rikita & Jordan

We’re back at the fab Redcastle Hotel (one of my all-time favourite venues) for today’s real wedding story — Rikita & Jordan’s gorgeous Limavady wedding.

After a brilliant engagement shoot with these two, I was seriously looking forward to their big day, and it did not disappoint.

My day kicked off with Jordan at his home outside Coleraine. We started out in the yard with a mix of machinery and cars, capturing Jordan and the lads in their everyday clothes — a bit of bonus coverage before the usual groom prep. Jordan was an absolute star from start to finish. When the groom is fully up for it, my job becomes very easy.

Inside the house, I spotted a gorgeous mirror that I simply had to use. As I lined up a few reflection shots of Jordan, along came pageboy Caiden, who completely stole the show by casually photobombing his dad and looking up at him. Unreal. Proof once again that the best moments are always the unplanned ones.

Lough Erne Winter Wedding Enniskillen | Orlágh & Jordan

Orlágh & Jordan’s Amazing Wedding At Lough Erne Resort Enniskillen.

Orlágh and her mum first found me at a wedding show a couple of years ago. It was a quiet one - my stand was beside a closed bar - so I may have snuck over back and forward to watch the United match (just to get my steps in). I spotted Orlágh and her mum from the bar, dashed over to say hello, and that evening an email landed to meet her groom-to-be, Jordan. A great result all round… and United won too which felt like a good omen.

Engagement Shoot At The Ulster American Folk Park, County Tyrone

I first met gorgeous bride to be, Orlágh with her mum at a wedding show in Omagh last winter. After a great chat and showing them a few of my albums, I returned to my studio later that evening to find a fantastic email from Orlágh, wanting to learn more about my work. It was clear from the message that I had the thumbs up from both the bride to be and of course, her mum!

Wedding Photography Packages: Choosing Between Digital & Album or Digital Photos Only

This week, I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with seven couples planning their weddings. And when the topic of photography packages comes up, I find myself giving the same pitch every time. So, I thought, "Why not make a blog post about it?" Now, next time we chat, I can simply say, “Did you see my recent blog post?” Not to save my time, but to save your time from listening to me waffle on (again)!

Redcastle Hotel Wedding Photography - Shauneen & Emmett

Welcome to the winter wedding of Shauneen & Emmett.

At least, that’s what the calendar says. Even though it looks like it’s the middle of July, this is actually a November wedding. What’s an Irish wedding without the weather having a mind of its own. For all you brides and grooms researching when in the year to have your Donegal wedding, this gorgeous wedding isn’t much help as this time next year, there could be snow on the lovely grounds of the Redcastle Hotel in Donegal. Side note, July 2023 was monsoon season in Northern Ireland!
