AM:PM Belfast Wedding Photography

BELFAST CITY HALL & AM:PM BELFAST

Veronica and Kurt had a small wedding at Belfast City Hall followed by a restaurant wedding at AMPM.
Veronicas son and dad gave her away to the tall silver fox Kurt at a civil marriage ceremony in Belfast City Hall.  The short ceremony had chosen personal songs including 'it must be love' by madness.  Her sister read a poem about love and the best man manged to get over his bro-mance.

AM:PM was a beautiful location especially at night time when the  roof garden twinkles in the night sky with fairy lights.  The unusual decoration give a real bohemian feel and low light brings that romantic feel to your wedding breakfast.

Killyleagh Wedding Victoria and Hamish

Killyleagh Castle and Dufferin Coaching Inn Wedding Killyleagh.

Belfast based wedding photographer Pure Pictures went to a religious ceremony in South Belfast followed by a reception in Killyleagh.
The bride arrived in a vintage Rolls Royce and walked down the aisle with her father giving her away.









The little flower girls carried heart wands rather than posies that were made by the bride herself.  They followed the service with a 'Afternoon Tea' party in the church hall where the flower girls loved the buns!





Killyleagh castle is a private residence although they allow you to take some images outside the main gate.  Hamish is clearly enjoying his Scottish pride with his kilt and tweed jacket.  






Killyleagh harbour has a long walkway with a beautiful view of the sea this is a more traditional photoshoot with classic shots and poses.  The bride was very meek and they did not want any 'kissy shots'.  





The evening reception was a full live Scottish ceili band.  The scotch and the Northern Irish troops laughed and danced the night away into the wee hours.  It was a beautiful wedding for a beautiful couple.

How to get personality in your wedding

Here at Pure Pictures Belfast based wedding photography we try our best to get your personality running through your images.

Lets face it no-one wants to be standing smiling for 2 hours so here are our tips for making the most of your images without being too much of a poser!

Contemporary album with your own twist?

 
Remember these simple steps:

1- location location location
, chose carefully most people only have time for one location so when it comes to choosing the destination if you aren't wowed don't go!

2- Keep it small, your friends and family may want to have a nosey while you get your pose on, but if you are easily put off then meet them back at your reception (ps blame the photographer we don't mind!)




3- Bookmark images
, many bridal magazines have plenty of inspirational ideas for photographs ear mark the pages and show your photographer so that you know exactly what you want from your day


4- Use some props
, it may seem silly but its the small details that make the difference in a photograph. They could be anything think umbrellas, ice cream, bubble machine, favourite football hats, your favourite mug, favourite fluffy slippers!



5 - Keep your theme throughout!
If its a simple colour or a full on alice in wonderland day, make sure you tie the invitations table decorations and attire into match.  This is a real way of stamping your personality on the day but still keeping the traditional wedding in place.  I keep some inspiration boards here : INSPIRATION :)


We have been awarded one of the top 5 photographers in Ireland through the wedding journal show reader awards.   I think this is down to the fact we keep the bride and groom in mind on the day.  The more relaxed you both are the easier it will be for you all to have images that you want people to see:)

WEDDING HAIR INSPIRATION

Wedding Hair Ideas
The vintage theme was very much in when I was getting married and I very much wanted my hair up and away from my face and not scraped back, almost messy.

After spending the guts of a week looking and images and not being able to decide what I wanted I would like to pass on my collection of images that have a messy vintage hair theme that is suitable for a wedding.

Please note the photographs aren't mine! and are purely for inspirational purposes!
