From the first moment I spoke with Trish, I instantly liked her. She had one of those charming Irish accents I had grown so fond of during my years working in Dublin. That and she was just a complete sweetheart. Before we were supposed to meet for our consultation, my grandmother passed away and Trish thoughtfully brought Cadbury chocolates from Ireland to our meeting and seemed more concerned about how I was doing than about planning her wedding.
So, needless to say, when it came time for her wedding day, I was excited to capture what promised to be a wonderful day, for a wonderful couple. And it was! Here are some highlights, beginning with the bride getting ready with her family and bridesmaids at the couple’s home in Dorchester:
Trish had a spectacular, flowy dress with feathers and ruffles:
The bridesmaid dresses were elegant black:
Pretty bride Trish:
Trish did her own hair (she’s a talented stylist). I LOVED the soft waves:
Bridal Portrait before heading to the Church!
Jenn (of Jenn Liang Photography) captured these shots of the groom before the ceremony!
The ceremony took place at St. Brendan’s Church in Dorchester:
And the newlyweds happily marched out of the church under an arch of hockey sticks, instead of swords 🙂
We got a nice group shot of all the guests on the church steps:
Love these two shots from Jenn of the couple getting into their awesome ’66 Ford Mustang!!
And then they set off for Quincy to the Granite Links Golf Club…
We started with some formals of the wedding party:
And then walked around the grounds for some gorgeous shots of the bride and groom:
We had great dusky light and some nice cloud cover….
Probably my favorite shot of the day 🙂
We took a golf cart down to the “ruins,” by the quarry, very reminscent of some castle ruins you might find in Ireland…just perfect for Irish-born Trish & Cronan 🙂
Then we returned to the ballroom for a couple patio shots at sunset:
While guests enjoyed the end of cocktail hour:
The bride and groom were introduced, and danced their first dance:
Maid of Honor and Best man made toasts, along with family members….
…And the groom, himself!
Cake-cutting:
Parent dances:
And dancing for everyone!
Live Irish music from the band 🙂
And the guys went out to the patio to smoke some celebratory cigars!
It was a great night and such a lovely wedding to be a part of…Trish & Cronan: “Go maire tu do shaol ur!” Hopefully, that means “Congratulations on your wedding,” In Irish 🙂
