“Find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. “ ...reading from a ceremony 

Few words from beautiful bride Alyson:

''After all the planning the day finally arrived and it was everything we hoped it would be and more. It was a day full of family, friends, love, laughter, dancing and fun! Memories that will be treasured forever.''

Wedding moments from Eibhlin and Andy wedding at Huntington Castle and Gardens in Co. Carlow, Ireland. This wedding was also published by WeddingDates website in Ireland and UK. They took interview from newlyweds and thats what they said about photography:

What was your favourite thing about your wedding photographer? How did you find the process working with them?

After the venue, the photographer was the absolutely most essential part of our day. We looked at over 100 photographers and their work and again nothing really spoke to us until we happened across Mario Vaitkus. We didn’t want traditional wedding portraits because we are far from traditional people. We wanted the day to be fun and have everyone involved and in that vein, we wanted a person who was going to capture that spirit. We have both been to weddings where the photographer is bossy and doesn’t really listen to what the bride and groom wants but can be rather pushy. That was not the case with Mario. From the first time we met him, we just knew the fit was right. He was fun and relaxed and really understood what we wanted from the day. He offered great suggestions and really helped us capture everything we wanted from the day. The feedback from our guests was that they really enjoyed his company too. He was never there in your face, but still managed to portray all the magic. He went with the flow and didn’t try to force any poses or anything we didn’t want on us.

​Few pictures form a wedding I captured last summer.
Gerard and Stephen Wedding in the heart of Dublin City. Ceremony took place at a spectacular place at City Hall and reception at The Stephen's Green Hibernian Club. 
Stephen:
"Hiring Mario as photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made in organizing our wedding. He offered a truly superb service, from his attention to detail to his ability to catch moments organically and effortlessly. For us, one of the highlights was how he was able to share and enjoy the fun with the guests to make everybody feel at ease and in doing so, really capture the essence of the day. Wedding plans can be difficult and time consuming but for photography, Mario makes the decision an easy one."

Traditional Pakistani wedding in Sligo, Ireland.  Asian wedding photography

...and a day before there was a Henna ( Mehndi ) ceremony. It's a Pakistani tradition. The henna is symbolically placed on the bride's and groom's hands. The groom's friends and family bring along sweets and henna for the bride, and the bride's family does the same for the groom.

But first, few wedding pictures...

And then,  some fun and creativity began...

Sometimes wedding images goes really spontaneously, like this one with a cock.

And then, I had a chance to put a little set up with few actors from Vikings and my beautiful newlywed couple David and Zara . At same time, as wedding, TV series ''Vikings'' were filming their new episode for new season. I was lucky, that filming crew participated and posed for few photos with my bride and groom :) Big thanks, to you to Vikings! 

I also had a chance to get few interviews:
Ian Ulcer - actor, TV series Vikings:
''It was a great laugh doing this after a hard day of naval battles on the lake. We'll gladly point our axes at anyone who wants us to :) ''

And last two, documentary:
Vikings filming at Blessington lake and of course one pic with myself and Vikings trying to kill me.

"Just Us" that's how we can name the bridal photoshoot of the new wedings, made in the heart of vibrant Dublin City. No bridesmaids, no best man, no guests...only the happy couple surrounded by thousands of friendly smiling strangers, greeting them on their Love Day; only the newlyweds environed with archaic buildings, cosy pubs, cafes and restaurants of Dublin's old town. Two blisfull people, Amanda and Gary enjoyed their Wedding day being relaxed and mellowed, so here is the result - natural and candid images from that very special day. 
Precious moments should never fade... 

Wonder Woman & Batman or Jennifer & Ger Wedding at Woodenbridge Hotel & Lodge, Wicklow. All I can say about working as photographer at this superhero themed wedding is WOW! I've really enjoyed it so much, it was so relaxed from the very first minute and we had loads of laugh. The bridal party enjoyed and participated in this creative photoshoot with a huge excitement. Simply take a look at moments from  Wonder Woman Bride and Batman Groom wedding. It's so vibrant, colorful and Fun :)   

This lovely couple, Maria and Alex,  came in to Ireland to get married all the way from Russia, Moscow. It was a pleasure to work with these guys here in Ireland. The weather was a bit windy, but sunny, so it gave some special taste to images. Ceremony took place in a Light House in Howth and it was Pagan wedding!. Yes real Irish Pagan wedding performed by Druid. So here you go, few moments from that beautiful, fun and relaxed wedding day to enjoy :)
