So we are now into our second week of 2012 and its all gone quite hectic. We didn’t get much time off over the Christmas break, so we are catching up on editing, album production, out and about shooting and doing all the other things that a business needs to catch up on after one long year…

Whilst we are excited about 2013, there is a whole lot of stuff that has to happen before then, ie: 2012 ;) We have just about got our new brochure ready now, so a kind message to all of you who are hoping to book us for 2013. We have only booked in a few weddings so far, so if you can grace us with your patience for just a wee tad longer we will be ready to roll with all the information you should need, and we can start arranging meetings in our brand spanking new office, that it is now pretty much ready…

Anyhow, more about 2011 for now. As we were looking back through the photographs of all the weddings and engagements last year, we were just reminded of how great all you couples have been. This can be a challenging job at times, but so rewarding.. You lot have been our reward. Some of you have become our friends, some already were, and we hope that this is not the end of our contact with you. We already know a few of you brides are expecting little babies, and we are so delighted for you. I hope that when you all look through these photographs you will see that you were part of something a wee bit special.. We hope that all of our 2012 clients look through these images a just get a wee bit more excited about what this year holds for them..

We have to just thank you all again for your understand and co-operation throughout the year, for being so wonderful and “dead on”…

Here’s to 2011…

Hi everyone, welcome to a little short and sweet engagement session that took place in Botanic Gardens and Queens University. We literally dodged the weather on this session as Belfast decided it was going to cloudy one minute, then sunny or pouring the next… oh and at the very end of this session, HAILSTONES! What on earth is going on? But regardless, Johanna and Mark, didn’t complain about it once, probably because we took shelter in the amazing palm house for quite a while and then ran on around to the newly built part of Queens for some more shelter. Johanna told me she was a bit nervous at the start of this session, but as long as you are together with your other half you will always be ok… So here are a few of my favourites from this wee session. Johanna and Mark, this is your first time seeing them.. we hope you guys love them..

A lot of patience from these two for Ricky to click this little photo - a few kids were enjoying running around inside, it took about ten minutes to get the shot haha…

In the photo up above you can see the engagement ring on a little white flower, we were a little worried it might fall into the flowers, and it did. But it landed on this little perfectly heart shaped leaf just as it is shown above.. Aw!

Thanks for sticking out this little session despite the weather :)

I took this image at the very end, when we ran for shelter over at the student union while it was hail stoning. Pretty spooky but such a beautiful building… Sigh* we love queens…

Sorry it took a few days to get the second half of this gorgeous wedding onto the blog.. It is certainly worth the wait anyhow, with the help of a close friend/sisters sister-in-law, we were able to get hold of a vintage vespa, a 1969 piece of awesome!!

Lisa had told me the style of the wedding previously and I thought I would get something to add a little fun to the photographs. Thanks to Stephen and Allana for all your help on this one :) I hope you guys like that you had a little part of this gorgeous wedding, I know you will Allana.

So here it is, the second half, what was a chilly day, but had the most amazing light. This is what we just wish for in the cold months, that low lying sun just works a treat. We had a lot of fun with you all, and thanks for sticking out the cold..

Enjoy folks..

Matt&Lisa, you are almost too perfect for each other. You make everyone around you so happy by just being together :) We are so glad to have been part of your day - thank-you… <3 Besties for life!

A wee while back, we had the pleasure of being invited to be part of Matt&Lisas big day. A day that so many people waited for knowing that it was the little missing piece of the Matt&Lisa jigsaw puzzle. Everyone who knows these two, know that they belong together… So the fact that we were there to capture the biggest day in their lives so far was a very big compliment.

Lisa is absolutely stunning, I have always thought she looks just like an angel. She is completely unaware of her beauty which just adds to it… Add Matt to the mix and you have a pretty hot couple…

Matt&Lisa surrounded themselves by their nearest and dearest on their wedding day, the sun shone, and the joy that was shared on their day was quite apparent…

I hope you all enjoy a little insight into the first part of Matt&Lisas wedding day, they have happily allowed me to share it with you all…. <3

The weather was a bit touch and go, a few scattery showers, but our hat must come off to Babs and her brides maids. No rain was going to stop them from going outside, and it paid off. We headed down the road from the reception to get the bridal photos before bad weather forced us back to the hotel. The smiles never left Babs and Philips faces, even as the rain was pouring down and this made for some great photos!

So here it is, the second half…Enjoy!

Babs with her gorgeous brides maids, who are probably the most helpful and tentative brides maids we’ve ever met! 

Babs you are stunning, I have already had a few people comment on the first half of the blog about you. Gorgeous…

‘Wedding day bumps’, nearly the ‘wedding day backflip onto the grass face first!’

Babs was actually sprinting to the car at this point…Even on her wedding day, Babs fitted in a quick bit of cardio, thats dedication!

Unfortunately the rain became too heavy, so we had to head inside to finish up the rest of the photos…Hotel lighting can be so tricky at times, and we couldn’t be happier with the shots we got indoors.

Moving to the dance floor and the party really got started, everyone was up dancing from the smallest kids to the old folkies! Normally it takes a good 4-5 songs for the dance floor to warm up at weddings, but uh no! Not this wedding. Straight away the floor was packed, and everyone was a having a great night! 

Babs & Philip, we can’t believe the day has been and gone, after meeting you so long ago thinking the wedding day was so far away and now its passed us. We are so pleased that you chose us to be part of your day. We had a brilliant time getting to know you both and your willingness to brave the rain paid off in our eyes. We hope you are settling into married life together very well, and we wish you all the best for your future together!

Hi everyone, so we are ever drawing nearer to the one day where everything is supposed to stop. Where you sit down and open some well thought out gifts, some not so well thought out gifts, eat too much food, and basically fall asleep on the sofa with a big toasty fire lit… Before we all stop for the day I have a little wedding to share by specific request of the bride, as there are lots of people waiting to see her photographs from the big day… Babs and Philip had a a big crowd of friends, dedicated fans you might say, waiting outside in the pouring rain to catch a glimpse of this wedding.

Yes, it rained, but I don’t think there was a moment where Babs wasn’t smiling the whole day. She is one tough cookie, the rain didn’t bother her in the slightest and the bridesmaids and groomsmen were all the same. No complaints whatsoever. When I was setting up the bridal photos, Babs just shouted, “don’t worry it”l dry”… Most brides tend to have a freak out at the thought of the dress they were once getting one speck of dirt on it.. Babs is my kind of bride..

This was a very special day for Philip and Babs, and I hope you enjoy the first half of this lovely wedding…

Legs to die for, wee bit jealous? Me? Nah!

How we love a good confetti shot. Bring back the good old days where a wee man with his loyal brush was happy to clean up the confetti….

Please do come back to see the second half of this wedding… :)

The second half of Stacey and Jonnys day just carried on being as wonderful as the first. This was one of those weddings that Ricky and I look back on a just feel so good about it. We were so welcomed on this wedding day, we were invited to be part of it along with Jonny and Stacey, and they both checked up on us every so often to make sure we were ok. We were so happy to be involved in this day, and you can see why when you see how beautiful everything was…

Stacey, I really wish I had been one of your bridesmaids, those dresses are to die for, seriously, they go down on my favourites list… :) Beautiful…

Stacey you are beautiful…

Jonny, Stacey is a lucky lady, not only are you very handsome, you are one of the most genuine and lovely grooms we have ever met. You were an absolute treat to work with…

Stacey and Jonnys favours were a mix tape(cd) soundtrack of their day. The music choices on this day, really just added to the whole atmosphere of the day. We love our music, so we totally appreciated the drive home listening to this… <3

It’s quite simple for us, we genuinely think you two are brilliant. WE were the lucky ones to have been chosen by you and we can only thank you for allowing us to be so involved in your wedding day… We hope this isn’t the end of our TEN21/Millar team…

Thank- you
