Martin & Niamh's Unforgettable Guernsey Wedding

Congratulations to Martin Rabey and Niamh Moloney on their beautiful wedding, which took place on the stunning island of Guernsey. Here's a look back at their magical celebration that beautifully blended love, family, and the natural charm of this unique island.

Morning Preparations: Starting the Day Right

A Refreshing Swim at St Martins

Martin and Niamh started their wedding day in the most unique way—with a refreshing morning swim in the idyllic coastal area of St Martins. It was an incredible scene that not only set the tone for the day but also highlighted their connection with nature.

Pre-Ceremony Prep at Les Douvres

Following their swim, the couple retreated to Les Douvres to get ready. This venue, steeped in local charm, was the perfect setting for both Martin and Niamh to prepare for the milestone that awaited them. Nimah’s flowers were by The Little Torteval Flower Company

The Ceremony: Love in St Peters

The couple exchanged their vows in the quaint field in St Peters. Guests arrived in unique fashion, with some opting for a nostalgic trip on an old bus—a fun, vintage twist that made the day even more memorable.

The Reception: Celebrating with Loved Ones

The reception was nothing short of spectacular. Held at the same beautiful venue as the ceremony, the event featured a “help yourself’ style dinner and a delightful twist—ice cream from Le Hechet Farm instead of a traditional wedding cake. Olivia May Younger played some tunes as guests mingled.

Couple Shots: Capturing Intimate Moments

Martin and Niamh chose to have some intimate photo moments between the ceremony and dinner. These were not traditional or serious; instead, they showed the love, affection, and closeness that characterizes their relationship. The pictures were taken in beautiful Guernsey lanes, and each one captured the couple's fun outgoing charicter along with the breathtaking scenery of the island.

Special Moments and Requests: Keeping Family at the Heart

Martin and Niamh ensured that their daughter Freya played a significant role in the day’s photos. This beautiful focus on family was a highlight of their wedding and a testament to the importance they place on their loved ones.

The Evening Celebrations: A Night to Remember

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the evening festivities began in earnest. The first dance was a magical moment, they planned an amzing dance routine to their chosen song. It served as a beautiful transition into a night filled with joy, laughter, and endless dancing. There was music from DJ oneofakind and Colin Falla the playlist kept the energy high and the dance floor packed, ensuring that guests of all ages had a fantastic time. The atmosphere was electric, perfectly encapsulating the joy and love that filled Martin and Niamh's special day.

Looking back, Martin and Niamh's wedding was a stunning event that showcased the beauty and charm of a Guernsey wedding. As a photographer specializing in Guernsey weddings and engagements, capturing their special day was truly an honor. Thank you, Martin and Niamh, for allowing us to be part of your unforgettable journey.
