Real Weddings

I had photographed the wedding of Grainnes sister, Yvonne a couple of years ago and when I arrived for the preps my photos were all over the walls !!! So, although I was delighted to see them, I also felt a wave of pressure to deliver !! I needn’t have worried as I was made feel at home from I walked in the door, and, with all of Grainne & Johns planning the small details were all laid out and beautifully presented. The wedding lent itself to its location n Wrights Anglers rest, intimate with a bit of a shabby chic feeling to it. The “goodie” table was laid out with all sorts of cakes, biscuits and sweet things, so much so that the guests were afraid to eat them, which was a result for me as I bagged me a few treats (with permission) for the trip home.

I was delighted to hear back from Grainne & John this morning :

“Hi Kevin,
Sorry for only getting back to you now, busy weekend! Well we are so thrilled with our pictures! Firstly thank you for presenting them in such a unique gorgeous way! So so pretty!
The pictures really portrayed our day perfectly, just great fun! They really captured the vibe we had for our wedding, rustic, vintage, country & low key. There are so many fab & quirky pics that we just love especially of John & I inside the venue.
We have such gorgeous pics with nearly every special person that was at our wedding & we’ll be able to cherish all those memories so thank you so much again. Everyone just looks so happy. We are getting great feed back on them, I shared some on FB. So thank you Kevin, we are delighted.com!
Take care & keep up the great work ?
Grainne & John xo “

Just a couple of pics from Sarah & Ronans recent wedding in Crover House Hotel in Cavan. I shot the wedding in my usual informal style, but every now & then a photo just begs for some “classical” treatment.

Have been quiet on here for the last while as work has me swamped (a great complaint !!). May is traditionally my busiest month between weddings, communions & confirmations and now I can focus on editing and sending out the remaining weddings from the last few months.

Once again, over the last 5 months, I realised how lucky I am to do what I do. Not only do I love photography, but I have met some wonderful, friendly & quirky couples…..and don’t get me started on the bridesmaids !! I have also worked with old colleagues from the wedding industry, visited some new venues, called back to familiar ones and taken bookings for some potentially really exciting weddings.

As I have said in previous posts, my “mission” on the day is to create stunning, artistic images, along with informal shots capturing the atmosphere – all the while making it as painless and smooth a process as possible, giving each couple plenty of time to mingle with their friends & family. If that sounds like what you want for your big day just drop me a line through the contact page and we can take things from there.

In the meantime, see below for a small selection of a few of the weddings so far – hope you enjoy 🙂

Fiona & Kevin travelled home from Australia over Christmas for their wedding which was everything a good wedding should be. Relaxed, fun, yet with lots of personal touches, fab venue and warm & friendly families & guests. The bad weather got in on the act and gave us 30 mins of a dry spell and even Bosco mad an appearance !! – what more could you want ?? It’s an overused phrase, but this wedding really was a pleasure to shoot 🙂  –  hope you enjoy the pics below.

January & February are strange times for wedding photogaphers – it’s a very busy time, but very few photos are being taken. A huge amount of time goes into clearing backlogs after the Christmas rush and answering enquiries as Jan & Feb traditionally have the largest volume of enquiries, between couples from this year panicking, and couples from next year planning ahead. Then we are also getting our cameras, lenses & other equipment serviced and prepped for this years weddings, as well as formatting drives and cards so, when things get manic again, we can just concentrate on the important bit…taking photos !! I also have a couple of other things in process….watch out for exciting news & developments over the coming weeks 🙂  So it’s nearly goodbye to 2015 (just a few weddings left) and hello to 2016 🙂
