“Dublin can be heaven with a wedding at eleven and a stroll through Stephens Green” – okay – may be the wedding wasn’t quite eleven but we did stroll through Stephens Green and it was heaven for Phil & Chris who couldn’t contain their happiness as they tied the knot in the city registry office. The smiles were infectious and after a quick couple of hours I headed off with a skip in my step. All was made even better when I received a lovely message from the happy couple ” Hi Kevin. We are so absolutely trilled with the quality of your work. The photo presentation box is just beautiful. Some fantastic shots. The movie brought a tear to our eyes. Such a special and emotional day. You are so relaxed in your approach and we felt so comfortable. We will highly recommend you to our friends and family. Thanks again. Phil & Chris.

Sometimes you have a shot in mind for a wedding day, and hopefully everything falls into place. I had planned this one for the Cliff at Lyons for a while, but only at Lisa & Brians recent wedding did the elements come together to create a memorable image. Although I am always informal & laid back, I do like to take a few minutes at each wedding to try and create something special.

With the fab surroundings & the friendly staff the Stephouse Hotel in Borris is one of my favourite spots. I was extra spoiled with Sinead, David and their families being so friendly & welcoming, along with the preparations being held in the Lorum Old Rectory (my first visit there), with lots of tears, lots of laughs, drinks in the patio garden, Game of Thrones & mini hurleys, this wedding had a bit of everything !!!! Especially nice was the feedback & thank you note received from Sinead & David.

“Dear Kevin, thank you so much for the wonderful photos of our wedding day. We are beyond happy with them. Thank you for all you did for us on the day. You are truly excellent at your job and we can’t recommend you enough. Thank you again, Sinead & David Leddy XXX”

Sometimes things just fall nicely into place, I had met Fiona & Gary on the run u to the wedding and we clicked straight away, add in a warm welcome on the day, the rain stopping for the afternoon, singing waiters, throw in a cute dog and a disney theme and wrap it up in the fab surroundings of Moyvalley / Balyna House and it was hard to go wrong. Delighted that Fiona & Gary were so happy with their photos :

Hi Kevin

Wow! Thank you so much for the beautiful photos you took. The presentation box and USB were such a nice touch.

I love the photos,  they really captured the love and laughter on the day, they are so expressive. Some of the candid ones are my favourites,  you caught so many moments that I missed on the day. You also caught some lovely moments between myself and Gary and our families.  I’m so happy with them.

You were a pleasure to deal with in the run up to the wedding and especially on the day you were so relaxed and didn’t have us on a clock like I’ve known some photographers to do.

The slideshow was an unexpected addition and I love it thanks so much. Can’t wait to annoy all my friends now and show them and can’t wait to start working on the album.

Thanks so much for your time, your creative eye and your warmth on the day. I would be happy to recommend you to any bride and groom.

Fiona and Gary
