Autumn Family Sessions π
Hey Everyone! Hope September is going well for you all. It's been a busy month over here, with school and work. So I just wanted to update yous with my availability for Autumn π family shoots as the summer has been shocking. we are praying for a better season now.
Availabe dates are on the photo. Pop me over a wee message if you have been thinking about family images and you love this time of year. This is all I have left before the winter.
Thanks D x

I think we just caught the last few days of summer 2024 at the stunning Corick House Hotel and Spa with Emma & Jonnie on Friday. Their infectious laughs had everyone in stitches, and made our job much easier! Matthew Fields Media and I enjoyed a sneeky wee ice cream in the sun, as we breezed through this beautiful day.
It was an absolute pleasure getting to know your families and friends as the day went on. But I think Fred might have stole the show, making an appearance at the church!

Ooohh it's good to be back!
Celebrating this weekend with a lovely flurry of wedding inquiries and bookings β‘ I appreciate and love every one of you who land on my page and feel that I could be the photographer for you. π°ββ π€΅ββοΈπ₯°
It's a big responsibility for us wedding photographers to capture your big day, so love to those couples who recommend me to their friends and family, as these are couples who have worked with me before and know how I roll. My best cheerleaders, you guys are amazing. Thank you π
π· If you are at the planning stage, and need some advice just send me a message, and I am happy to give you over a list of vendors that I have worked with to help you at this stage, it can be over whelming planning a wedding and any help is good help. If you need to chat over the photography side, I am happy to answer any questions, as I've done a few weddings π and know the ins and outs of how your day will go.

Introducing the new Mr & Mrs Bell!
Ballyscullion Park pulled out all the stops for Jane & Matthew! The sun was shining all day. And for the first time, I got to capture everything outside around the stunning grounds. From ceremony to speeches and right through to dancing! Followed around by my sidekick Steven on film. WHAT A DAY!
So here's a little snippet of their day for you all to swoon over!!

I had the best day with Claire, Jason and their little crew at Manor House Country Hotel. The sun was shining on them all day and you couldn't wipe the smile of their faces. The craic was good with our hero Paudi Lunny imaging who single-handedly saved us from an angry swan who didn't appreciate us being up in its jetty, you legend!!
Thank you both so much for having me there to capture your day.

The farmers' daughter in me can't resist a wee pre wedding shoot in the great out doors with them gorgeous farm smells!! Lol
So off I went to Templepatrick, and met up with Alex and Steven and all the animals β‘
Such a pair of gigglers, the wedding will be such fun in in September
I have so many favourite parts of a wedding day, but the buzz in the morning with the girls is so much fun!
In the middle of it all, I like to pull together all the details for a wee flatlay. A snippet into the brides beautiful design that carries on throughout the day. I love seeing it all flow together.
Having everything laid out in the one room in the morning leaves it easier for me to work away without bothering anyone, while you all enjoy your morning β‘
Chloe & Daryl - What can I say.. your day was Epic!!
The thought that was put into this day was nothing short of amazing (If you know me, you know I love details and I was in my element!) The guests can truly say they were entertained from start to finish. I know Chloe & Daryl from their friend's previous weddings so it was lovely to connect and chat with you all again, you are an awesome bunch!!
Thanks to the brilliant team at Corick House Hotel and Spa you never fail to impress. A massive thanks to my sidekick Louise Brolly Photography who captured the boys in the morning and the ceremony, which takes the pressure off me. Great day working alongside the talented Matthew Fields Media again on film, hope it won't be as long the next time!

As a mum, I know the best gift is surrounded by memories and photos, looking at the past at every stage of your children growing up. Even when they are all grown up and you are looking up at them... they are still your babies!
Updating family photos gives a mum a chance to capture that stage on their lives to look back on. This was a beautiful family gift to celebrate Sylvia's birthday back in March

Can we take a wee moment to appreciate Darragh and his smile π₯° celebrating his Holy Communion with family and friends. I even got to see his football and how he can handle a ball with slippy shoes on. The boy knows how to perform for the camera! π·
No feet up this week for me, it's all go here! I'm on an editing marathon to get all your lovely galleries out to you.
On my screen this week are family, holy communion and wedding edits!

Donegal weddings always make me smile, there is something about them! With the summer blossoms and the sunshine all day it was just perfect. I hope the laughs and craic continued after I left, because there was plenty during the day, these girls love a wee laugh! Wishing you both the best for the future together with wee Tiernan, you are truly the sweetest couple and little family.

Hands up, who remembers the nervous butterflies on your wedding morning? I sure did! I can remember it well, and that was 15 years ago this year!
This is the time it all becomes real, the minute the dress goes on and you are ready to go out the door. The moment you have been waiting for.
This part of the day always needs a wee chill moment, as it can get over whelming. This is where it's nice to just stand in your dress and take it all in before you head out the door to become Mrs!
Welcome to the world, little Jack β‘
This little guy stole my heart β€οΈ he was such a wee dote, behaved himself for me and showed me around his animal friends before I left.
These moments are the best feeling when you are in your new family bubble and springtime is all around you! I can imagine him out with his Daddy very soon running around after the baby lambs!
And roll on next year when he will get to celebrate his 1st birthday at the wedding!! ππ₯°π°
What can I say about my last wedding... You can't take a bunch of Magherafelt people to Donegal without having a good time! Gemma and Jonathan I hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did, even with the rain and forgetting the 1euro for the parking, it was a mighty day out! (Sorry Sam I owe you one!) Working alongside stevenhenryweddings and Sam Mawhinney Photography on film it is always a good laugh, even if I do have to put up with their banter!
Thank you to the gorgeous Harvey's Point for the beautiful Lough Eske setting, I have always hit it on a wet day but it adds to the atmosphere, and it always looks amazing.
A little sneek peek of your day to enjoy while you pop off on your mini-moon, safe travels.

Well, how true is this!
My first wedding of 2024 kept me on my toes, to say the least! And while I load Kim & Grzegorz gorgeous day into my computer to get a wee sneek peek to them, this came into my head.
You can plan a wedding to the very last detail, but when nature throws a curveball, you just have to deal with it. I admired how these two dealt with the unexpected snow yesterday and the changes in their plans, and took it all with smiles on their faces.
Can not wait to share more!
Coming soon βοΈ π

A few days late because I have been under the weather. Thanks so much everyone for entering the Giveaway to win an engagement shoot. It was over on Instagram too so all was put together to draw a winner. Congratulations to Neil McCluney who won over on instagram ππ₯³π·
Planning a wedding is a big job with so many details to think about from dresses to seating plans, so many boxes to tick off. Some of the first things you will book will be your venue, photographer, and videographer. The rest will follow at the correct time in your schedule. I say this to all my couples, book what is important to you as a couple, and forget the extras that blow it all out of proportion. Do your homework and stick to your budget. If there is something you want that is a little more expensive then remove an other thats less important. Remember all that's left after it's over is your wedding rings, your photos and your video. Hence why it is very important to book professionals and people you can work with and get on with for your special day. We not only capture the memories of your day, but we manage and time keep for you when you are in your wedding bubble. We ease your nerves and are the spare friends who look after you and make sure everything runs smoothly. Providing a lasting legacy for you as a couple and your families. I love to chat with all my couples before booking so you are happy with my style, and my way of working to eliminate any nerves surrounding the photos. More info over on my website, no question too silly so please feel free to DM me and we can chat! Denise x https://www.deniseleacockphotography.com/wedding/
