Cocktails and Beer

(*Part One linky) OK, now brace yourself for lots of photos…believe me I whittled these down but Matt and Nikki’s reception was like being in a sweet shop for me. First off, the reception took place in Ballybeg House in County Wicklow. It started with champagne in the courtyard and I mingled with the guests taking photos of everyone having a good time:

I did manage to steal the bride and groom away for a few portraits…including my favourite…the infamous eyebrow shot:

Meanwhile, the reception area was being prepared, the lighting was spectacular…Matt works in the theatre so these guys knew how to light a room.

On each of the tables were photos of Matt and Nikki on their various trips around the world plus there were gummy worms…genius!

OK…last one but I can’t not mention the band. They were absolutely brilliant, they’re called Spring Break and they had everyone up on the dancefloor from the start. The best part? The guitarist had his own wind machine:

Thanks so much Matt and Nikki for letting me share these with everyone!
