Most people are delighted to have a sunny wedding day, but not most photographers…harsh light, heavy shadows and squinting guests can make photography a real challenge. Thankfully. most experienced photographers know how to work with, and combat the tough lighting conditions that the sun can cause. My most recent wedding was one such day, bright & harsh sunlight, but with the right location and positioning we were still able to come up with some lovely images.
The pressure was on when I travelled up to Oldcastle to shoot Sarah & Ronans wedding, not only does Sarah run her own Beauty Rooms, but there were no fewer than 4 couples among her guests whose wedding I had already photographed, and they knew a few others as well !! I needn’t have worried as from the first moment I walked in the door till I left just as the meal started I was made feel right at home (it didn’t hurt that I knew so many guests !!!). The sun was really strong on the day but luckily Crover House has a few spots in the shade which were great for the photos. The cherry on the cake was the lovely email I got from Sarah just after she received her photos ” Hi Kevin, received my USB today in the beautiful package. And I have literally just went through my photos (was too excited to wait for Ronan) and all I can say is wow. To say I’m blown away is an understatement. They are stunning and I cannot emphasise enough how perfectly you captured the whole tone of the day. Lots of fun, laughter and big smiles!! So now is the hard job of picking 70 images! Thank you so so much you really are so talented. Sarah “
Just a couple of pics from Sarah & Ronans recent wedding in Crover House Hotel in Cavan. I shot the wedding in my usual informal style, but every now & then a photo just begs for some “classical” treatment.
