Sarah & Mark

A wedding at Lawlor's of Naas.

Sarah and Mark’s day at Lawlor’s of Naas moved from quiet window light to a room full of laughter. Red hair, black tie and warm interiors run through the photographs, with plenty of embraces along the way.

A little time together

The tall windows, stained glass and darker corners at Lawlor’s gave the portraits several different moods. There was room for the dress to spread out and for the two of them simply to laugh together.

All the embraces

The time after the ceremony was full of hugs and animated conversation. A few group photographs kept that same playful feeling, including Mark being lifted by the men around him.
