Am so happy yet again to be a finalist in this annual awards ceremony. This will be my third year in a row to be a finalist, but, as the standard is incredibly high this year I have zero expectations and am just delighted to be involved. Taken from the IPPVA website :

“The IPPVA awards differ from other awards in that they are solely judged by a panel of national and international professional photographers, both members and non members of the IPPVA, over 4 heats during the year. As such they recognise and reward technical and creative excellence, rather than being a popularity contest or public vote.

Awards are not easy to win, and winning even one is an achievement. Maintaining the consistency required to win four in the same year, in order to qualify as a finalist, is therefore quite special.”

See below for my wedding award winners (I also am a finalist in the landscape category 🙂 )

Although my main photographic style on your wedding day is very relaxed and unobtrusive I am a firm believer in achieving a balance on the day. We make sure to capture the details, the hidden moments, the fun etc. but we also make sure to get the family photos, bridal party photos and some bride & groom photos. The bride & groom shots are not overly rigid, they would probably be more directed than posed, but, if the chance arises for a wow moment we will grab it !!

The key to our work on the day is to ensure that each bride & groom get to spend as much time as possible with their families & friends without any compromise on the final images.

If this sounds like what you might like for your big day contact us today to check availability.

I had a blast photographing Gillian & Michaels wedding last year. It departed from the norm in so many ways. Called out to Gillians first, then back to the lads in Knightsbrook, then back to Gillian and after the preps we had a cute first look, followed by family photos on the lawn of Gillians house. We then headed off to Trim Castle for more family & bridal party photos – and they weren’t even married yet !!!

The few photos at Trim Castle were followed by a trip to the Anglers Rest where they had their marriage ceremony. Then a few final photos up in the Phoenix Park.

Surprisingly enough the day was in no way rushed, the atmosphere was relaxed and so welcoming. I was nearly disappointed when my day was done, but I had, thanks to Gillian & Michael, fallen in love that day. They introduced me to Tim Tams (Aussie Biscuits) and although my waistline wasn’t appreciative, my tastebuds were dancing a jig !!

Always great to get positve feedback “Hi Kevin, thank you so much for the photos – they are absolutely perfect – thanks so much again, Gillian & Michael.

The calm before the storm as Michelle takes a few minutes by herself to check out the dress. It’s these little moments that help cement the story of your big day.

Many thanks to all the wonderful couples who put their faith in me during 2017 – very much appreciated. Thanks also to those who have me booked fore 2018, I can’t wait to shoot your wedding 🙂

I had a wonderful year, and finished off in a fab sparkly way

Keeping each wedding couple relaxed and comfortable ensures we capture some lovely moments rather than lots & lots of staged photos.
