Kim's Hen!

Had great fun and beautiful weather at Kim's hen party in the Ardilaun recently. Kim is no stranger to makeup herself she owns 'Kim's Beauty Sanctuary' in Manorhamilton (check it out ladeez) so it was nice
for her to kick back and be pampered for a change. Theresa Danaher and Trish Kenneally did a fab job on the makeup front - Here is a look at some of their fab pictures from the day. We managed to shoot and do the makeovers all outdoors as the weather was splitting the rocks. Let's hope Kim's wedding day will be as sunny!

Beautiful bride to be

Hats off to the ladies!!

Hens and the Hummer!

Had a blast with these ladies who came all the way from the North for a photo shoot with us in the Ardilaun Hotel in Galway. The weather was blustery and rainy unfortunately but the spirits were high! These gals travelled in style all the way to Galway in a HUMMER! Here I was waiting to get the shots of them inside the Hummer when the driver was unable to swing the car into the gates of the hotel due to the size of it! Some traffic chaos later the ladeez had to hop ship and walk down with luggage in tow to the reception, brollies blowing but in fits of laughter. Managed to grab a shot of the hen Ms 'B' on her way in even though she had NO CLUE as to why I was there snapping her like the papparazi! The penny dropped a short time later when she was led into the room greeted with Bubbly, goodies (the girls brought a menagerie of sweets and chocolates and yummy things!) and her own photo studio with two makeup artists waiting to transfom her! A bit of drinking, makeup and posing ensued and eventually we got the group shots of the gang before they headed out to 'The city' to make their mark. I could not say enough good things about the Ardilaun who attended to our every whim and helped me carry out and in my gear. (Managed the shoot with a creak in my neck!?)  They are well set up for hen parties and could not have been more obliging. Big thanks also to Theresa Danaher and Trish Kenneally on makeup duties and of course the lovely ladies who made the event so much fun. Thanks for booking us Ciara x
Check out the cute shoes!




The stunning Bride to be!

Ladies night!

Here are two fab women that decided to have a weekend of shopping and beauty for themselves in Galway. The amazing Sandra Gillen and myself arrived at the Ardilaun hotel with our gear and set to work in the room! We had some giggles and chats and dressing up while Sandra worked her magic. I then photographed them both individually and as a two-some.  Here is a peek at the 'after' shots - well done ladies ye were a blast!
