Katie's Tips - Tip 3

Choosing your bridesmaids is a tough task. Choose wisely. Tradition dictates that you should ask your sisters or your future hubby's sisters however if they don't suit your wedding maybe it's ok to choose a friend. Your bridesmaids need to be your right hand women on the day so they can't let you down.

Make sure all the girls are in their dresses before you as you should always be the last to get ready. They should be on hand to help you in to yours.

Ciara & Jerome, Aug 2012, Portlaw & Faithlegg House Hotel, Co. Waterford

Ciara and Jerome are by far the most laid back couple I have had the pleasure of photographing. They booked me six weeks before the wedding date! Can you imagine? I have had couples book me three years in advance.

Ciara and Jerome met on their first day in Mary Immaculate on their quest to become teachers and have been together ever since. After a lot of house moving, including a stint in Ciara's parents house the two finally moved in to their gorgeous country home just outside the town of Portlaw.

The one stipulation that Ciara and Jerome had for their big day was that we include their animals in the photos. Fine I said... until I realised how many animals they have.

We had so much fun on the day and I think it shows in the photos.
