Alan Clarke & Carmel O’Rourke – Ireland’s Wedding Journal Feature
Arriving to St.Clare’s church in Manorhamilton, flower girl and pageboy with the cutest of smiles led the way up the aisle.
Wedding photography for a wonderful wedding day began with the boys. Lovely wedding photos of Mum with her men outside the Harte’s home place. The groom’s party all wore grey suits which photograph really light and cool in summer months. With perfect timing Sarah’s bridesmaid were dressed and ready as David arrived to the house. Big windows flooded the room with light as Sarah’s family gathered for family photos. Sarah wore beaded lace with scoop neckline and detailed waist.
Arriving to St.Clare’s church in Manorhamilton, flower girl and pageboy with the cutest of smiles led the way up the aisle. Manorhamilton church sits high above the town and has a real sense of arrival with lots of trees softening the majestic limestone facades. Wide steps leading up to the altar accommodate any wedding party and give a wedding photographer good access and freedom of movement. While always catching magic moments during the ceremony when often emotions are felt David had Glencar Waterfall and Lake to look forward to. It is one of the top locations for Sligo wedding photography and has so much to offer. Winding paths leading over dark wooden bridges bring you alongside a beautiful mountain brook. With tall, steep and verdant banks drawing into the circular pool beneath Glencar Waterfall. Late afternoon see the sun fall directly onto the eye of the pool as the water plunges uninhibited from above, mossy and fern strewn walls nearly enclose. With a perfectly placed viewing point and a spot for the camera above this is always one of the most incredible wedding photos of the day. Irish wedding photography at its best.

Glencar Lake has another iconic wedding photo opportunity as Sarah and Brendan drove back towards Sligo town along the very edge of the lake. At just the right point the road opens up to accommodate parking and a short walk brought the couple to the water’s edge where behind them rose the iconic ridge of Benbulen. Clouds threw amazing patterns on the steep hillsides of the further shore while sunlight sparkled on the lake as though in celebration of the day. These locations ensure fabulous wedding photographs for couples wedding album and show just how spectacular the Irish landscape can be for the wedding industry.
The Sligo Park awaited and the warmest of welcomes greeted Sarah and Brendan as the re-joined their guests and a fabulous night of entertainment began.
