Ruth and Michael's intimate Cliffhouse wedding in Ardmore
A couple of weeks ago I was in the Cliffhouse in Ardmore for the first time, to photograph Ruth and Michael’s wedding. I’d heard about the Cliffhouse, as it is a real local success story, and the reviews are great! I wasn’t quite so prepared for the gorgeous views over Ardmore beach and across the bay. It is a special place for Ruth and Michael too, as they were life guards here back in their student days. Ruth took great delight in walking out the breakwater pier in her heels and pretending to have a wobble. It was pretty windy and Michael and I both jumped! I was glad to get them back off the pier and onto safe ground, but we really had a lot of fun! And the light and the photos were gorgeous!
