About Me

Hi! Welcome to my new blog. You'll find images here from my latest wedding and portrait shoots as well as other random happenings. Use the new menu bar to navigate around... For those of you who haven't just travelled through my website to get here, here is the link: www.sineadjenkins.com. I'm also on Facebook.

Sometimes I look forward to a particular wedding more than most, and in this one was a case in point. Rebecca and Ryan are lovely, welcoming, funny and stylish... and I knew the wedding would reflect that. The church they chose for the ceremony out in Seacliff is a very cute brick building surrounded by stunning coastal scenery. The cars were uber cool, the flowers were unusual and beautiful, and the entire day sounded like it would be really good fun.

More than that though, Rebecca kept in contact with me about wedding plans and ideas, and I knew we were a good match.

It started raining shortly before the ceremony, and when Rebecca arrived (in a VW combi van!) she looked up at the sky and said "You know what? I don't even care that it's raining!" Her are Ryan are both this down to earth, which I love.

The last two weddings I've shot (including this one) have had me in tears. I wonder where Elmer gets his emotional side from?

The church has been de-consecrated, and as such you can have a civil ceremony inside. I think this is a fantastic idea if you like the look of a church building but aren't religious. Jill (local celebrant) is also lovely.

Saw something similar on someone's blog recently and I liked the idea!

This is a tiny little bar in town called MOU. I love it:

Lush. I'm really into photographing dancing at the moment, it's almost my favourite time of the wedding day. Apart from the meal (haha - joke!)

I'm chilling today after getting home from a Geraldine wedding last night after midnight. It was a goody though, can't wait to blog some images.
