Hair and Makeup
It was pure chaos that day. We all were supposed to get our hair done at a hairdresser’s over in Lahinch, but I simply wasn’t happy with what I got. So we did it again at Doughmore with the whole family around. My bridesmaid Lorraine - her sister Linda Lafferty is an incredible makeup artist, I was delighted with her, as were the 11 other ladies she worked her magic on that morning!
The Music
Paudie & I had 2 main priorities for our wedding day; good food and good music and “The Marvels” were the best! They are a really energetic and had everyone, young and old on the dance floor. The red suits, red converse and red top hats really topped it off!!
A Wedding Portrait
Barbara gave us an amazing wedding portrait by Mr. Toontrait - lovin’ it! >> www.facebook.com/Mr-Toontrait/

Ruffled Ruby
I couldn’t have done all the planning and preparations without my friends, particularly my bridesmaid Barbara. While we were in the thick of researching & designing, we decided, once the wedding day was over we would put our vintage themed ideas and designs out to world. It was then that Ruffled Ruby was born – designing and creating unique vintage inspired brooch bouquets and wedding accessories. We launched in June 2012 and it has really taken off. We’ve even made it on to national television and various magazines and blogs. >> facebook.com/ruffledrubyvintage
The Wedding Photographer
Well, how did we find our wedding photographer and why somebody from Germany? I bumped into a friend, Nicole, in Doolin one Saturday night in O’Connors Pub, I mentioned that I was having trouble finding a unique photographer who was different from the norm! She gave me your name and website and when I saw your work I knew you were the one for us!! The photobooth video you sent was an excellent incentive! We could not have been happier with you and the work you did, you made everyone feel really comfortable and our family and friends loved hanging out with you! I’ve been asked by so many people who my photographer was, they were all amazed with your work!! >> www.brautrausch.de
