A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph a very unusual wedding. It took place in Co. Fermanagh in the middle of Lough Erne.
Well not strictly in the middle but on Devenish Island. Now there are on Devenish the ruins of a 6th century Monastry and Church and a very well preserved Round Tower. This is the first time that as far as anyone knows that a wedding has taken place on the island. There is a graveyard with some very old graves but there are no records of any marriages ever having taken place.
Lisa and Jamie started the day from the Killyhevlin Hotel in Enniskillen town, right on the Lough shore.
Jamie (the groom) started the day a bit earlier by going water-skiing, and then after he got changed, travelling up to Devinish in his own speedboat, myself, the minister and the Best Man all travelled with him.
Lisa (the bride) came up in a white Motor Cruiser, and all the guests travelled up in the "Lady of the Lake"
The day was a bit grey and overcast but the rain stayed mostly away, which was lucky as the church has no roof. After the ceremony it was all back to the Killyhevlin for some nice Guinness and an excellent meal. My best wishes to Lisa and Jamie and have a great life together.
