Cavan Wedding Photographer - Crover House Easter weekend
Hey chatgpt can you write a caption for this wedding include that I don’t think I laughed and cried as much as a Crover House wedding photographer, how the whole room was full of some of the most amazing people I've ever met, that the couple are literal gifts to this planet and I'm a better person just by knowing them. That I literally had to tell myself to leave hours after my time was done cos I was just having so much fun and that it will probally go down as one of my favorite weddings ever!!! This was Aoife and Emmets unbelievable Easter weekend wedding at Crover house settled on the shores of Lough Sheelin.
The Definition of Unapologetically You…
Laughs bellowing down the halls and ceremonial weaponry as gift for the groomsmen, massive hugs as soon as I walked in and 2 of my favourite people I think I’ve ever met. Aoife and Emmets day had it all inc a cat themed candy cart doubling as a shrine to their beloved cat Jess. Which you already know I had to sneak a jelly snake or two from haha. a cameo message from the former president of ireland Mary McAleese, Pink pony inflatables on the dance floor. An obscene amount of questionable dance moves and quite a few sore heads the next day im going to assume ha Aoife a play write, director and actor and Emmet an all round legend in his own right. These two already had my heart even before the day had begun, I always tell me couples that if social media is their thing then lets follow each other. it gives a little insight into their lives and these two had me chuckling on a weekly basis for about a year leading up to their date.

Aoife had this to say about me as her Candid and Documentary Wedding Photographer based in Cavan
“Despite my great love of words, there are no words for how these pictures make me feel. Look at us, just as we are! Andy, you captured moments as they occurred and when I look at them, captured through your lens, it’s truly like seeing our own lives elevated for one day into something entirely monumental, but relentlessly honest. Your talent is immense”
