Was delighted to be back at the Stephouse in Borris for the wonderful day when Aisling & Alan tied the knot. Both Aisling & Alan were getting ready in the village, the ceremony was in the hotel and the gardens provided a beautiful autumn backdrop for the photos. Such a nice, welcoming and laid back couple with an easy brief, not too much posing, not too much fuss, capture the day as it unfolds, perfect for my style.

I was so happy to hear back from them :

“We were absolutely delighted with the photos and you managed to get everything we asked for. The photos weren’t too posed which is exactly what we wanted. You were discreet the entire day and very patient with us when we were distracted with our guests.  The whole day from start to finish went so smoothly!”
Aisling & Alan

Three sisters, three weddings !! As with all wedding suppliers, good reviews are our lifeblood, but even better are recommendations to friends or family. I figure I must be doing something right as after Siobhan received her photos her sister Ciara quickly got in touch (a big fan of relaxed photos !!) followed by their other sister Paula. It was so lovely to shoot all the weddings (each one different from the next) and spend time with such a lovely family.

Even better, starting with Siobhan, due to recommendations to their group of friends, I shot another 13 weddings (at last count). I should be paying the Fannings commission !!!!

Charline & Romain travelled over from Brittany with their two children for a Celtic Ceremony in Brigits Garden, just outside Oughertard, Co Galway.

The west of Ireland can sometimes be unpredictable weatherwise but we had a stunning day. Blue skies and butterflies accompanied us for the ceremony in the stone circle with numerous blessings and old traditions it was a lovely afternoon. We then headed over the mountains to the town of Spiddal where the weather stayed dry but the clouds rolled in over Galway Bay giving us some moody images.

Despite the language barriers (my French leaves a lot to be desired !) we had a wonderful time together and I was delighted to hear back from them :

Hi Kevin!

Thank you very much for the link! the photos are amazing! We loved to remember these precious moments. Our trip in Ireland was exceptional and we will have great memories thank to you.

We’ll say hello to you if we’ll make a new trip in your country and I promise our English will be better!!!

Thanks thanks thanks!!!

Aileen & Colms wedding took me away over to the Wild Atlantic Way, I had shot in the Diamond Coast but never visited Aughris and it’s always good to have a first !! I will definitely call back to Aughris, the Beach Bar was an absolute gem of a place.

Their brief was easy, lots of documentary style, fly on the wall photography of people having fun & enjoying their day, just my style so I was in my element.

From the moment I arrived till I left after the dancing I was made feel so much at home, at times I felt more like a guest than a photographer.

I was delighted to hear back from Aileen & Colm recently and so happy that they were so pleased with their photos.

Over the years what couples want from their photography has changed – minimal posing, lots of natural images and what has become the most popular package – coverage from preps through to first dance.

Extended coverage has the bonus of getting a few shots of the speeches

Weather permitting, and depending on the season, it also gives the opportunity for night time photos, sunset photos, sparkler shots and the added benefit of a bit of breathing space and fresh air for the couple in the middle of a hectic day !!

Then of course there’s the dancing, the first dance and the fun when your guests join in !!

To top it all off, your images are presented in a beautiful keepsake USB box along with a selection of prints to create a timeline of your day – a beautiful way to store those precious memories.

Had a wonderful day in Castle Durrow shooting Helena & Joes wedding – even better to receive some lovely kind words :

“Can’t recommend Kevin highly enough. He captured so many lovely moments throughout the day and slotted seamlessly into the background, to the point were I actually couldn’t remember where he was during the ceremony. It was only when I saw the amazing photos that I realised that he had a birds eye view and caught so many of the candid moments. He put us all at ease and was great to have around on the day.”

I had actually shot Joes brothers wedding a few years ago, and am in fact shooting Helenas sisters wedding in 2023 so I must be doing something right !!!

Hope you enjoy the small selection of images below.
