ust the day before Kerrie and Aidan got married it absolutely lashed with rain. Those of you who were at the wedding will remember. Not just showers. Not heavy rain. Floods of rain.
This was the 15th of July which is known as St Swithun’s Day. According to an old weather lore proverb, if it rains on the 15th of July it will rain for 40 days. Things weren’t looking good.
St Swithun’s day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithun’s day if thou be fair
For forty days ’twill rain nae mare
The morning of the wedding I was up bright and early as Kerrie had booked getting ready coverage for herself and Aidan and I was due to begin shooting at 8am. As I headed up the N4 to Leixlip the rain started to ease and the sky was clearing. It turned out to be a fabulous day and although rain threatened to fall after the ceremony it was only a threat. By the time we got to the Johnstown House Hotel for the reception it was a gloriously sunny day.
Kerrie and Aidan’s gorgeous dog Roxy, who you will remember from their engagement session, made a surprise appearance outside the church to welcome her newly married Mum and Dad! Be sure to check her out on their wedding cake topper in the photos below. Seriously sweet!
Megan Hughes did a fantastic job on the girls’ makeup and didn’t complain once about having to work away with the camera in close proximity during the getting ready photos. Thanks Megan!
