Ok, so you know the way I love every wedding we feature here on OneFabDay? From the love story of the couple and the emotional scenes of the ceremony when the commit their lives to one another, to the amazing care and attention to detail in crafting the look and feel of the celebration to the sheer joy of friends and family, we love it all. But the thing that makes one wedding hold the gaze that little bit longer is the photography - the way one talented person (or two) has captured all of that emotion and action, and presented it as a keepsake to be enjoyed forever.

This is the story of a very beautiful wedding day, as told through some of the most breathtaking images we've ever shown, the work of photojournalists Julien  and Kenneth of KOHweddings. Today I would like to introduce to you Ruth & Jamie, a couple very much in love...

Earlier that morning...

On the beach at Ballinskelligs, in time-honoured tradition Jamie took his boys for a quick dip in the Atlantic waves to brace themselves for the day to come... Quite the handsome devils aren't they?!

Ballinskelligs wasn't just chosen by Jamie and Ruth for the stunning scenery, but because it has such a special personal connection for Ruth "For generations my dad’s family have spent their summers in Ballinskelligs and I have some of the best childhood memories there. It has always been a real oasis for me. It was never going to be anywhere else. A little piece of my heart lies there and now an even bigger piece will forever with all the memories of the day, the week and the planning up to it."

Meanwhile Ruth and her Mum, sister and best friend did what ladies do best - indulged in some pampering, and chat. So before things kick off we need to know how did this love story originally start? "We met on a blind date set up by my best friend. She nabbed him in the restaurant he was managing at the time and after a few cocktails persuaded him that he needed to meet me.  I trusted her taste so with a bit of Facebook research I went for it. She swore to me he was my type and she was right…..7 months later we got engaged!"

The proposal was a complete surprise to Ruth: "It was a Tuesday night in our apartment. We had only been together for 7 months so I honestly had NO idea. He told me he was sick when I rang him so he had to cancel our dinner plans and that he would see me after work. I was worried because he was never sick so when I got home and the place was dark I thought ah the poor thing. But then I spotted the candles leading into the living room and I followed them. There were over 150 red roses strategically placed on the floor to create a path which lead me to a trio of boxes, in the first box were the framed tickets from the first concert we went to, the second was a weekend away to the Cliffhouse, and the third he had in his pocket……..the rest is history!"

So after donning her beautiful Jenny Packham gown, with the final tweaks to hair and makeup (superbly done by Dave Cashman and Aoife Redmond - am highly inclined to book them myself ) Ruth, looking utterly stunning, and her proud Papa were off to the ferry...

... to Valentia Island, where the ceremony took place in the Church Of The Immaculate Conception, nestled in the idyllic surroundings of the small Atlantic isle.

After the ceremony the happy couple were able to enjoy some time together to bask in newlywed bliss "Probably one of the moments that stands out for me among the entire amazing day, was on the way back from the church myself and Jamie walked on a beach with the sun blazing down and it was just the two of us. There were two  photographers also but we barely noticed them and there was something in the air that I will never forget."

If you were ever in doubt as to the value of hiring an amazing photographer, then these images should rest the case. THIS is wedding photography.

I don't think we've ever shown a two part wedding before people, so you can imagine that Part 2 is well worth waiting for... tune in shortly and we'll be revealing the amazing style of the wedding reception, the revelry and hilarity - lots more gorgeous images by Kenneth & Julien of KOH Weddings
