When the bride decides she's going to wear wellies, you know you're in for a fun filled wedding.

Michelle and Aidan are not ones for doing things the "normal" way. Both of them are very much into their music festivals so music and wellies were bound to feature in their big day. And so Wedfest was born..........
For us as the photographers, it was an early start, especially as we'd just photographed a wedding the previous day which didn't finish until nearly midnight. That didn't give us much time to recharge batteries, clear cards and try grab a few hours sleep before making our way to Thurles for 8.30 in the morning. One of the advantages of hiring two photographers is that Lorraine got to stay with Michelle and cover her morning preparations while I drove on to Dungarvan in Waterford to catch up with Aidan for his preparations.

Once we finished at Aidan's it was a mad dash back up to the stunning Holycross Abbey near Thurles for the ceremony at 1pm. Holycross really is a beautiful venue and Michelle had the church decorated beautifully.
