It’s been a while since I’ve added a real wedding slideshow to my site, however I’m going to make up for it by adding three or four over the next few days.
The first is from Aisling and Declan’s wedding. They got married in Cashel last May. I know Aisling well, we used to work together a while back. She’s a lovely girl with a great sense of humor and very little stresses her. Good traits that she’d rely upon on her wedding day.
As we came out of the church after the ceremony and Aisling and Declan began to meet and greet their guests we noticed that there was smoke coming from under the bonnet of the wedding car. The inside of the car was completely white with smoke! Oh dear, this was not good. Should I photograph it? Is that out of order? I looked at Aisling, she didn’t seem one bit bothered and was actually laughing about the whole thing with her guests. At that moment I knew where to aim my camera.
The fire brigade were called and someone appeared with a fire extinguisher ready to tackle the impending blaze. The door was opened and the biggest cloud of smoke erupted from the car. Up into the air it went like the smoke monster from Lost!
The Smoke Monster unleashed!
It made for some great shots!
When the firemen finally arrived it was quite the Kodak moment – especially for all the ladies. Not quite Backdraft material though if I’m being fair.
While the guests went back to the hotel Aisling, Declan and the bestman all went into the rectory as Cashel’s very own Mrs. Doyle provided endless tea and biscuits for us all. ”Ahhh go on!”
The rest of the day I’m glad to report went perfectly. The reception was brilliant! They know how to party! When you see the rest of the shots you’ll know what O mean.

Brilliant shot! I had something similar happen at a wedding. Though the car was not quite as bad!
Thanks Christina
When you get handed these opportunities you have to capture them while you can
