On the 3rd June Laura Bannon and Micheál McArdle got married and we had the privilege to photograph this beautiful event.

We stated off in Castlebellinham with Laura and her Bridesmaids getting ready, Maeve from Trey Belle was busy doing the brides hair while Rita O’Brien was doing the hair of the bridesmaids. Michelle from Mrs Makeup did the makeup. I left Emma to take some detail shots of floweres and dresses and headed off to Micheál and the men getting ready in Bellingham Estate.

The men looked great in their suits from Tony Mc Donnell menswear Dundalk , Micheál’s family arrived for some photographs then headed into Byrnes Pub for a quick drink before off to church in Kilsarn

In the meantime Laura was putting on her beautiful Dress designed by Edle Tuite Drogheda and of course her Valentino shoes finished the look perfectly before coming down stairs for her proud parents Margaret and Peter to get their first look.

St Mary’s Church Kilsarn never looked better after Caroline Slevin Flower Studio Dundalk had done her magic with the most beautiful flowers.

We were joined by Gerry Duffy who was doing the video and all was ready for the ceremony.

The men arrived in a Branford Car from Ideal Wedding Cars Armagh closely followed by the bridesmaids in another Brandford.

The sun was shining as Laura and her dad arrived in a Brenchley Car from AT&T Chauffeurs from Ratoath Co Meath

Our singer Stella Bass started singing and all was ready for the moment everyone was waiting for, Peter and his stunning daughter Laura made their way up the aisle to a very nervous Micheál

Fr Paddy Rush immediately put everyone at ease as we got on with the ceremony.

We had more beautiful music, lots of tears hugging and kissing not to mention Fr Paddy Rush’s selfie

The reception was in Cabra Castle but before we started on the drive we headed into Bellingham Estate for some beautiful pictures.

We arrived at Cabra Castle to the sound of the bag pipes played by Declan , Oscar the Irish Wolfhound was never far away , then Laura from Cabra Castle took over, who looked after our bridal party and was absolutely brilliant.

Tropical Storm entertained the guests and Electric Avenue played for the nights dancing

Laura and Micheál headed off on their honeymoon to San Francisco , Vegas, Cancun and Orlando.

We would like to wish Laura and Micheál all the best of luck in the future.
