Dominique and Joe’s wedding was nothing short of magical. They chose the Armada Hotel in County Clare as their base for both the preparations and the celebration, setting the tone for a memorable West Clare wedding. This stunning location, perched along the breathtaking Irish coast, offered everything they could have wished for—a relaxed atmosphere, scenic beauty, and the most perfect backdrop for us as photographers.

A Relaxed Morning in the Heart of Clare

The morning of the wedding was filled with ease and laughter. Dominique and her bridal party enjoyed a relaxed start in their suite at the Armada, where the girls sipped on champagne, sharing stories and excitement as they prepared for the big day. Sinead Murphy Make Up brought Dominique’s bridal look to life, crafting a timeless and radiant style that perfectly suited her. Upstyle Junkie worked magic with Dominique’s hair, ensuring every wave stayed in place throughout the day, from the ceremony at St. Joseph’s Church to the wild Atlantic breezes on the cliffs.

Meanwhile, Joe and his groomsmen took a more classic Irish approach. They gathered in the hotel bar, toasting with pints of Guinness and sharing a few laughs before heading to the ceremony. It was a relaxed start that set a joyful, stress-free tone, allowing both sides of the wedding party to fully soak in the special moments together.

Capturing Memories on the Cliffs of Clare

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds made their way to a nearby cliff edge for their photo session, with the dramatic Clare coastline as their backdrop. The natural beauty of this spot created a spectacular setting for their wedding photos, which captured both the romance of the occasion and the rugged charm of the Irish coast.
