We have photographed hundreds of beautiful weddings over the years and have been very lucky to have travelled around Europe and even as far as the states to cover weddings. When people book us for their wedding, we do not ask professions, so it a bit of a surprise when you arrive at a wedding to find a local celebrity.
When we photographed Rachel Tuckers wedding, she was the leading lady in “We will rock you” in London’s West End. I originally met Rachel at another local celebrity wedding – Viktoria Berkley’s where she was bridesmaid. So when Rachel announced her wedding, we were thrilled to cover it.
Viktoria Berkley Michael McAdoo were married in the Slieve Donard Hotel, Newcastle, Northern ireland. Viktoria is the owner of 1st Dance NI – Northern irelands leading dance studio. She teaches wedding couples all around Ireland both north and south, to move like professionals for their first dance. In 2011 Viktoria was chosen as the dance coach for the Celebrity Come Dancing event for Children in Need. Michael is also a great performer and acclaimed thespian in Northern Ireland so as you can imagine, their wedding was full of wonderful entertainers and their guests were treated to a most enjoyable wedding.
George McCartney married Elaine in the Hilton Hotel in Templepatrick. Although it said George McCartney on the paperwork, being a girl I did not know guy was very well known in Northern Ireland. As a premiership footballer for Sunderland and International player for Northern Ireland Football team, the wedding was full of well known names in the soccer world. Elaine and George’s photographs were very loving and full of passion. Click on the link below to see how a WAG puts on a celebrity wedding.

The Merchant Hotel in Belfast was the location for Gareth Maybin and Liz’s wedding. Gareth is on the European Tour. He is one of the professional golfers in Northern Ireland and put on a stylish celebrity wedding in the Merchant Hotel. Liz was meticulous in all the details of the day. When we arrived at her home in the morning of the wedding, everything went according to plan. It was a beautiful day with light clouds and perfect temperatures for a wedding day. There are lots of photos in their link below to show the room. Sophisticated and elegant are the best words to describe both the bride and her wedding day.
