For those of you that follow our blog, Helen and Ryan are one of the many couples that booked us on the recommendation of Beth and Stephen, who we've seen at a bazillion weddings (including their own). And of course, it was at Beth and Stephen's wedding that we first bumped into Helen and Ryan.
Helen, like ourselves, is from west Tyrone, but had to go all the way to the USA to find her soulmate, Ryan. And you know what, we'd say it was worth the trip - he's a top lad! And he brought a whole squad of his family and friends over to the tiny village of Greencastle for the wedding.
Sometimes Americans have an idea in their heads that Ireland is all fields and old cottages and we spend most of our time drinking and doing ceiles in barns. And as much as we might want to dispel that stereotype, Helen and Ryan's wedding was on Helen's family farm. In a field. Next to some old cottages. And yes, there was a ceile. In a barn. And there was an open bar... Ok, ok, so maybe that's exactly who we are.
We genuinely couldn’t have loved this wedding more. There were sunshine and rainbows (like, literal rainbows), loads of laughs, and the kind of laid-back energy that makes the day fly by. One of those weddings where the couple and their friends and families made us feel more like guests than photographers.
