Although my most popular package is still my digital package, I always recommend couples to come back to me at some stage to organize a wedding album. From storybook to slightly more traditional and hand assembled bespoke albums there are styles and tastes to suit all budgets. Yes, the albums can be expensive, but they should be !!  When making an investment you want to ensure that the quality of both the album and the printing stands the test of time. This is not just for a wedding couple, but for their children & grandchildren down through the years.

Remember cassette tapes ? Well DVDs could be heading down the obsolete road soon, and although I provide USB keys, how long will it be till they become outdated ? What doesn’t become obsolete or go out of style ?? Photographs ! With a high quality wedding album you have a tangible object which can be handed down through generations for years and dragged out on special occasions (anniversaries, childrens weddings etc..) even if it’s just to laugh at the fashions & hairstyles !!!

You won’t regret investing in an album, but you may regret not doing so.  See below for a storybook layout of a recent wedding 🙂

I’m a sucker for silhouettes – so, when couples often ask me what we will do if it gets dark I never worry – albeit helped by a sunset, this type of image is achievable with minimum fuss. This was taken in Ballymagarvey Village, after sunset in late November and there was no set up apart from “face each other and kiss” !! 🙂

Well that was a busy Christmas !!  Had a few jobs on the lead up to the big day, but then had 5 weddings within 7 days…phew ! Will probably catch up with me over the next few days, but the adrenaline, the fun, and the welcoming wedding couples and their families made it a very exciting time. Got to visit some new stunning venues, as well as some old reliables that haven’t lost their charm – also got to try a few new techniques. Attached are just a few small clips from the busy time, hope you enjoy  and very best wishes for 2015 🙂

Dear Kevin,

We’ve just finished looking at our photos and what can we say……they are fabulous !!!!

Thank you so much for capturing such beautiful photos of our special day.

We couldn’t get over all the details that you had captured – they are fabulous.

You got such beautiful shots around the church and the scenery in Ballymagarvey.

We are delighted with them – thank you so much !!!

We would highly recommend you to our friends (and even did so without seeing the photos !!)

It was a pleasure to deal with you from the beginning, and on the day you made us feel so relaxed.

The end result is amazing – thanks a mill

Ide & Patrick.

It’s amazing the difference lighting can make to your venues appearance. At Lorna & Johns wedding in Ballymagarvey one flick of a switch and the whole ambience changed. If you are looking for a spectacular room it could be well worth investing in a good lighting set-up.

I had been looking forward to Nadine & Stephens wedding for a while, not only had I worked with Nadine previously (she had been bridesmaid at a wedding I covered last year) but the reception was at one of my favourite venues – Ballymagarvey Village. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play ball, on my arrival at the church the downpour started, continued through the ceremony in the beautiful Church of St Myra in Kinsealy and was still going when the ceremony finished. No meet & greet at the door, just a dash to the waiting car ! It was just as well that at the start of the mass, the priest told everyone to get out of their seats and to have a chat and introduce themselves to anyone & everyone nearby. This went down a storm with the congregation and set the scene for a lovely ceremony. On arrival at Ballymagarvey, the clouds parted and we were treated to glorious sunshine right up to the meal. I have uploaded a few pics from the day below, and, if you happen to know Nadine or Stephen, feel free to leave a message as they will be checking in on the blog while on honeymoon.
