Orlaith and Eugene had an amazing wedding in the Salthill Hotel in Galway. 
Love working in this hotel mainly because of the two wonderful poeple I cross paths with at same....Stephen and Valerie...two good people who are a massive assett to the hotel, and super people for any couples to be dealing with.
Great to also cross paths with Yvonne Fahy and TrĂ­ona Lyons who were on hair and make up duties with Orlaith and her bridesmaids on wedding morning. Theyr'e a great team and helped keep everyone calm with their efficient time keeping and jovial dispositions!
Their ceremony was in the new orangery room which looked amazing with the decor by  Fiona Newell Events, adding a special touch to their day.
After saying their vows, Orlaith and Eugene jumped into a vintage Volkswagon Beetle. It was a short ride to the Quad at the University of Galway. This location is a favorite because it allows for outdoor photos while still providing some shelter....this is always important for any ladies on tehir wedding day!
The photoshoot in the Quad went smoothly and despite the weather, we got some great shots. After that, we took a quick trip into Galway. The rain paused long enough for Orlaith & Eugene to stroll through the bustling streets. They stopped in Murphy's Bar on High Street to enjoy a pint with many passersby wishing them well, all adding to the joyous occasion.
Once they finished their drink, Orlaith and Eugene headed back to the Salthill Hotel for their wedding reception..... ready to celebrate the rest of their special day. Thanks so much Orlaith & Eugene for trusting me with your wedding photography....you were both a treat to be around!!
