Real Weddings

by

2021 was a strange year, a bit of a stop start for weddings and really tough for couples to try and plan anything concrete.

I was so lucky to be involved in all sorts of weddings, from low numbers to nearly “normal” numbers and up and down the roads of Ireland. All these days proved one thing, that whatever the numbers, whatever the circumstances, once a couple decide to take the plunge the day is always so very special. Love conquers all.

Check out a few images from 2021 weddings, I still shoot in the same relaxed style, natural photos capturing the little moments as well as stunning couple shots.

If you are getting married in 2022 I wish you the very best of luck, whatever happens, it will be a wonderful day.

I was delighted to be asked to shoot Therese & Robs wedding next year in Horetown House and really excited to be asked to do an engagement shoot down in Carrigfoyle Quarry, a spot I had never visited.Having photographed the weddings of both of Robs sisters we had met before and they knew my style but it was fun to meet up for an enjoyable and relaxed walk, with a few photos thrown in !!!

“Hi Kevin,

Thank you so much for our photos, we are so delighted with them. We really enjoyed our time with you that day. It was lovely and relaxed and great to spend some time with you before our wedding next year.
Thanks Again,
Therese & Rob”

Sometimes you have days when everything falls perfectly into place. From the moment I met Hayley and Paddy we just clicked and throughout the day we had some great laughs which made the photos so much easier. They definitely wanted a more relaxed vibe but of course, with the backdrop of Carton House we made sure to get a few fab couple shots. I was well chuffed to receive a wonderful email from Hayley after she received her photos – makes everything worthwhile 🙂

What a wonderful way to start getting back into weddings. Kate & Darren had their intimate celebration at Kilshane House, the weather behaved and we actually had the ceremony down by the lakeshide in the boathouse followed by drinks in the courtyard a the front of the house. I was welcomed with open arms (virtual !!) and really felt part of the day from start to finish. I was delighted when I received some lovely feedback from them both :

“Kevin was the photographer for our wedding in Kilshane House this summer and he was absolutely brilliant. He was so lovely and fun to work with. He was able to blend into the background and capture everybody so beautifully.We have so many candid pictures that we absolutely love. Kevin also took amazing posed pictures and made us feel so relaxed during the process. We have such a lovely mix of posed and candid pictures, our biggest issue is now choosing which ones to add to our album!!! The initial presentation of the photographs was also really lovely. We received a wooden box with ~100 chosen snaps and a matching USB with >1000 other pictures. I would absolutely recommend him to anybody!”

Kate and Darren

With the current restrictions most weddings these days are smaller, intimate celebrations but no less wonderful.When you have the right venue, good weather and a fab couple it’s amazing what you can achieve in 2 hours.

“Hi Kevin,
We had a look at the photos last night, we absolutely love them!
They are exactly what we wanted, nice and relaxed. The photos taken during the ceremony, we didn’t even notice you and we were delighted to relive it all again ?
The outdoor shots of myself and Niall up the walkway between the trees are amazing!
Thank you one again very much for taking us on such short notice, we really appreciate it. I will defo be recommending you to everyone! Hopefully you have lots more weddings to shoot over the coming months ?
Thanks such
Sarah & Niall “

Finally some good news on the wedding front with numbers increasing and the future prospect of better times ahead.

It was a long wait, and whether you have 6, 25, 50 or more at your big day it will be worth the wait. It might have caused stress, tears, even driven you to drink but, just like when your love meets you at the top of the aisle, you know all will be good with the world.

Looking forward to the rest of this year and returning to doing what we do best, documenting the happiest of days no matter what the numbers are.
