We're definitely starting this week on a high - today we have the most beautiful and romantic wedding to show you courtesy of the fabulous Trish and Brian of We Are The Mastersons.
Keava and Derek are the happy couple, and their wedding really shows the potential for high romance that we are so lucky to have in Ireland - with our amazing landscape and gothic castles.
Lord & Lady of the Manor for one very special day
Keava and Derek were married in August in Crom Castle, Co. Fermanagh, the grand victorian mansion that is home of Lord Erne.
The West Wing of Crom Castle is available to rent exclusively for weddings, and the castle provides a really unique and splendid setting for the wedding ceremony - imagine being married on front of the Grecian water urn with the scent of jasmine wafting all around?
For Keava and Derek's wedding they enlisted the services of Skea Flowers in Lisnaskea, Fermanagh, and the results are simply divine.
Keava really is such beautiful bride, the elegance of the dress is perfectly complemented by her sleek chignon. A really understated choice that allows her natural beauty to shine through.
One of Crom Castle's real selling points is that the estate and gardens provide a wealth of scenic spots for wedding portraits, something the Mastersons really took advantage of and as you can see, grey skies didn't prevent the wedding pictures from being truly fabulous.
Crom Castle has a limited amount of accomodation on the estate, in cottages as well as the castle, but you can easily arrange for guests to stay in Cavan town, which is close by. Judging by Keava and Derek's pictures, it seems to me that for those of you contemplating a more intimate boutique style wedding Crom Castle could be a great place to check out.
I personally love this shot, Keava and Derek look like little dolls, you could almost put them on top of the cake.
Just says it all doesn't it?
Congratulations Derek & Keava, hope you're enjoying married life, and that's it's as fab as your wedding day was.
Many thanks to Trish and Brian - We are the Mastersons - for sharing these beautiful shots with us, make sure to hope over to their site to see more of their work. You will not be disappointed I can promise!
