Maurice&Kelly
So last Saturday, we went for a little walk around Hillsborough Park with Maurice and Kelly. These two are getting married in June this year. They braved the elements which were out in force. Mainly the coldest wind I have felt in quite a while. There was a little twinkle of sunshine, which was simply for aesthetic purposes, it didn’t warm us a bit. The photographs we got from this little...

Gareth&Shirley Dunluce Castle/Whiterocks
Our first stop for Gareth& Shirleys engagement session was Dunluce Castle, where Gareth proposed. Shirley told me how they began to plan their marriage in the middle of Dunluce Castle, and I was so excited at the thought of outdoor ceremony photographs. Unfortunately, due to our unpredictable weather, this idea was no longer an option, as it has no roof ;)
This just meant, we could shoot...
Craig&Catherine - Wedding Second Half
It is finally here. The second half of Craig and Catherine’s big day before Christmas 2011. What a gorgeous wedding it was. From the dresses to the flowers, and the venue, everything was just beautiful. Catherine has sent countless messages through to us thanking us for her photographs, what she seems to forget is that we didn’t make her wedding what it was. Craig and Catherine made...
And a sixpence in her shoe...
Genna, one of my Christmas brides had a little sixpence in her shoe for luck on the day of her wedding. I had heard this phrase before but wondered where this came from, and so did her groom. So I googled a little bit for an explaination and here is one I am pretty happy with:
The next line of this old saying actually hints at its origin. The complete phrase is:
Something old, something new ...
Craig&Catherine - Wedding
Oh goodness me, I have just finished uploading the photographs I wanted to share to this blog, I just kept adding more and more… I hope you will forgive me once you see what a beautiful wedding this was. As soon as Mr Skene asked us to be involved in his wedding we had great expectations, we were introduced to Catherine for the first time at her family home for their engagement session and...

A year in photos
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,...
Johanna&Mark
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...
Matt&Lisa... 2nd Half
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...
Matt&Lisa... 1st Half
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...

Babs&Philip - 2nd Half
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...
Philip&Babs - 1st Half
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...
Jonny&Stacey - Merchant Wedding 2
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...
Jonny&Stacey - Merchant Hotel Wedding
When a blog starts off with a pair of Jimmy Choos you know it might just be a good one… This wedding is one of those we have looked back through and just got that warm fuzzy feeling. Stacey&Jonny are another one of those wee couples who will be holding hands until they are ninety years old…
Their day was such a day of timeless beauty, Staceys simple yet elegant dress looked like...
Garth&Elaine Belfast Engagement
As it is the 1st of December and everyone seems to be chatting about Christmas, I thought I would blog a little Christmassy Belfast session for you all…
This was our first meeting with Garth &Elaine, as they are very busy and talented people. Both very much into their music, Garth is a composer and Elaine is a singer/musician. They wanted something with a bit of atmosphere about it...

Gary&Jayne Dublin City Engagement
We enjoyed this day so much with Gary and Jayne, it was the first time we really got a chance to get to know Jayne that wee bit better…
I went to university with Gary where we shared lifts i.e.: Gary forced me to go to uni by collecting me each morning. We sailed to uni listening to the dulcet tones of The Kings of Leon everyday, and before we knew it, it was over. Time for a reality...
A little change of plans...
Hello,
This is a little blogpost just explaining a little something that I feel we have to do to catch up with our blogging. I love love love blogging our wee brides weddings as it just allows them to appreciate their big day and get that wee exciting feeling back as it tells the story of their day, however as I am sure you all know, we are definitely more than a little behind….
I feel...
The Gilbert Family
At the end of September we headed down to the home of the lovely Gilbert family. We had been down very close to these guys a few months before, as they live next door to Riverdale (featured in Alex and Gareths Wedding, click here to see more). We got started and began to shoot in the great green areas surrounding their home. Picking apples, walking through their own forest, and hanging out in...
Happily Ever After
Hi everyone, just a little blogpost in search of the perfect couple for my Happily Ever After session portfolio. We would love to build up our portfolio of these little sessions now that we have more time to offer them…
A few little questions to see if you are what we are looking for, we would love to do happily ever after sessions for everyone, but as you can imagine we...
The Kerr Family
So it is definitely about time there was a family session on the blog, we have a few more to blog but this one has been waiting for a wee while now. We went with the Kerr family to Glenariff Forest, the weather couldn’t have been any better. We genuinely had a lovely time with these guys. You may wonder where you recognise two of these handsome chaps from and thats because they were...
Keith&Kathryn - 2nd Half
So Friday is here at long last, another busy week for TEN21 and although we haven’t been very present on the blog, we are working our butts off. We are just spending this month trying to get a lot of bits and bobs ready for all our clients. Although we haven’ been blogging much, I realise that the delay in blogs has been quite a nice feeling for our bride and grooms, getting to relive...
Ben&Amy Botanic Gardens
Blog time! Its Ben and Amys turn this time. We met Ben and Amy at the Ulster Museum , and headed down into the great, autumn kissed, Botanic Gardens. They literally came straight after they finished work so we were working against the clock for light. We even got a few after the light was completely gone…
The trees and flowers gave us some great colours to work with, we love autumn for the...
Keith&Kathryn - 1st Half
Time for another little wedding blog, by request of the bride.
You are probably all wondering where our blog has gone, you can see lots of little sneaky peeks and yet no full blogs. We are trying really hard to catch up on all our editing before spending anymore time blogging. It is of number one importance to us to get everything up to date and send all our wee brides their wedding photos....

Adam&Helen - Engagement
This little blog, is a special one for us because we know Helen&Adam aka Soupy quite well. They are an important couple in a lot of peoples lives, and I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t like them. We had the best days craic with these two, starting off our wee shoot at Dunluce Castle where Adam proposed to Helen…
The weather really wasn’t playing ball, not only...
Suzy&Darren Finale
The details in this wedding were planned meticulously, Suzy is a lady who knows exactly what she wants. A gorgeous set up with a little bit of their personalities thrown in, the tables were all named after Dominoes pizza which gave everyone a wee laugh when reading the table plan….
The speeches from Suzy&Darrens day were so heartfelt and honest… We hear a lot of speeches,...
Suzy&Darren - part deux
So I started blogging the second half and when picking out the photographs realised not only how in love with this wedding I am, but also, how many photos I want to share and that we don’t like over crowding the blog. So this is part deux soon to be followed by part trois! These photographs were taken near The Merchant and then we also went with Suzy&Darren to Botanic gardens…

Darren&Suzy - First Half
I have waited for quite a wee while to share this wedding with you all, but I just can’t wait anymore..
Darren married Suzy on the 2nd July this year and their wedding is one that stands out so much to us, not only for how dapper they looked but for how well we got on with them and the genuine people that they are. I think I might have went on a little about when we first met Suzy, we...
Lynne&Dave Second Half
Welcome to the second half of Dave&Lynnes blog, it is sure to bring a little happiness to your day, all the summer sunshine and Pimms!! Yum!!
I think Lynne would be another one of those brides to say she had the perfect wedding day, she had the weather, she looked beautiful and she was marrying the man of her dreams. Dave pretends to be all hard, but he would literally do anything for...
Dave&Lynne First Half
Dave and Lynne got married all the way back at the end of July, so yes this blog has been long awaited by lots of people. We are a little bit behind (ok a big bit behind, on our wedding blogs) but we want to keep our wee brides happy by getting their photos to them first and share them later…
What can I say about Lynnes and Daves wedding… hmm Lynne was a very excited bride from the...

Babs&Philip - Engagement
Babs and Philip are getting married on Friday of this week and we are keeping our fingers crossed that this beautiful weather we had today just stays a wee bit longer for us. We went to Drum Manor to do this wee engagement session, it is a great location with lots of trees and then the amazing castle which we love. As we are running out of time before this wedding, these two have been bumped up...
Dear Stephanie & Steven
These next few photographs are definitely some of our favourite photos that we have ever taken. We might just be feeling a little bit nostalgic looking back, but we really think Steph&Steven look so well. They really were so relaxed and I can never stress enough a connection with your photographer is the key to great photos…
They trusted us, they let us just do what we wanted…...
Steven&Stephanie Second Half
I would rather just share the photographs that whine on about how I loved their wedding so much. You can see from the photographs that the weather was beautiful. We must say thanks to our friend Gillian who came along and helped us out on the day which meant I was able to relax…a little! Luckily I was able to take the photographs of Steven and Stephanie when no-one else was about. I will now...
Craig&Cat - Engagement Session
This is going to be a short but sweet blog - Craig and Cat have kindly selected a few of their favourite images for the blog. Sometimes because of the line of work our wee bride and grooms are in they don’t want their faces spread all over the internet. So as I loved this wee session and wanted to share it, they allowed me to show you these little images. Thank-you!! I won’t say too...
