Last Friday saw me back in the beautiful Corick Country House Hotel (I’d also photographed Ciara and Jonny’s wedding at Corick House back in March). It’s always a pleasure to work here – the location is fantastic and the staff are always very friendly and welcoming.

Grainne and Leo tied the knot earlier in St Colmcilles just outside Armagh – the very same church Grainne’s parents were married in all those years ago.

Grainne’s Dad Joe looked proud as punch walking his daughter up the aisle!

Here are just a few of my favourites from their day.

On Sunday I was back at the Galgorm Manor Resort and Spa near Ballymena for Clare and Darren’s wedding. Darren’s family had flown in from Norwich for the wedding so it was great to see the sun shining for everyone especially after the rain in the morning.

The ceremony was in the wonderfully atmospheric Phantom House – one of those locations that is ‘photographically dark’ inside and has lots of directional light and little space to work with. However, so long as you don’t resort to the intrusiveness of flash – with a little thought, creativity and good timing you can get some really special photographs.

Here are just a few of my favourites from their day.

My first wedding back in Northern Ireland since my trip to Barcelona was for Jenny and Fergus up in the Glens of Antrim on Saturday. This is where I had photographed Orla and Stephen’s wedding last August and it was great to be back beneath Lurig Mountain and right there on the Antrim coast again.

Jenny in fact grew up around the headland at Garron Point – a location close to my heart ever since Caro and I moved back from London eight years ago. As it turns out, Jenny’s sister Sandra had actually emailed me five years ago in admiration of my Garron Point landscapes. So it was great to finally meet her and lots of their friends, family and neighbours.

This wedding was just lovely with great weather, scenery and lovely people. I really seem to be blessed with lovely weddings this year. Fergus’s nieces had that special ‘kids during ceremony’ sense of fun.

Anyway, onto the pictures – here are some of my early favourites.

It’s always a thrill for me to be invited out to cover a destination wedding. Last week I had the pleasure of flying from Belfast to Barcelona with my clients for their wedding in the beautiful village of Alella and reception at Masia Mas Coll.

I’d like to thank Seamus and Silvia from Catalan Weddings for their help on the day – it was a real pleasure working with them.

This wedding was full of such an electric atmosphere. At the end of the night Karl confessed to me that this had been the greatest day of his life and I have to admit, there are moments from this wedding that will stay with me for a long time.

Hi Dylan, Unfortunately I am back at work today. On the plus side I have seen all the amazing photos. Wow, they are fantastic, you did a wonderful job and we are so so pleased with them. You captured everything for us. Everyone has mentioned about how amazing the pictures are and how incredible the photography is, indeed we absolutely agree. You were excellent Dylan and the photos really show the quality and imagination of your work. Thanks!!!

I had the pleasure of being in Carlingford again on Saturday – this time to photograph Claire and Oliver’s wedding. My day began at the beautiful Ghan House with the ceremony at the historic Carlingford Heritage Centre before heading down to Darver Castle for the wedding celebration in Readypenny.

Like many of you, I’ve been keeping a close eye on events in Iceland and have been hoping for the best. I’m happy to say that most of Claire and Oliver’s friends and family from England managed to make it across safely. Coaches and ferries to the rescue!

The humanist ceremony offered everyone the opportunity to tie a ceremonial ribbon over the bride and grooms hands and it was just great to see such love and happiness with friends and family looking on.

Here are some of my favourites as I continue the editing.

Last week I had the pleasure of flying out from London to Cyprus with Johanne and David’s family for their wedding in Paphos. It’s always a pleasure to be invited out to a destination wedding and this one was just beautiful.

Johanne and David’s wedding was located 300m above sea level at the fabulous Zucchini Weddings venue overlooking the Paphos coastline.

I’d like to thank everyone for the lovely welcome – it was great to share a few days with you all and I hope to see you all again in the future.

Here are just a few of my many favourite images.

Emma & Emmet had their wedding at Markree Castle in Sligo. They had a gorgeous day with wonderful light. Here’s a few from their day.

Two blog posts in one week – but I’ll be away for the best part of a week for my next wedding so I thought I’d post these before I go!
