irish wedding | linda & conor
linda keys is one of the most fun-loving, free-spirited, super-coolest-chicks we have ever met!!
conor mckiernan is such a funny guy with an amazingly caring spirit & oh how he does the best american accent we have ever heard in our lives!!
this rad wedding took place in derry, ireland. they were married in the same breathtaking cathedral that linda’s parents & grandparents were also married in. it was a beautiful day in ireland in which the sun came out & omg everything about this day was absolutely perfect!!! we feel so blessed to have had this extremely amazing opportunity to travel all the way to ireland to document their wedding day. our gratitude runs deep as they treated us like family as we stayed in their home until the wedding & we had such a fun time getting to know everyone & enjoying tea & coffee at about every home we entered!! wow how the irish are hospitable! :) oh yeah & also trying real guinness from the irish pub was such a treat!
oh man how do we love lindas shoes, swoooon & the vw love was just making our hearts go pitter-patter! we love some of the same bands & music as they do. so we were dying over the records on the tables at the reception, after seeing the tables our hearts began to sing with joy! oh oh oh & i cannot forget their super incredibly talented band ever! the band was great & they need to come to the states, everyone would love them so much here! the dance floor was raging with fun & the props that they passed out to everyone was really just the icing on the cake for us! oh yeah, the cake, it was so cute & magical with even a wee vw topper! gosh just too much good stuff to even mention!
these two lovers really have a zest for life & go after what they want!! we know they will have a long & successful, happy life together!
cheers to linda & conor!
