It was one of those days where it all came together nicely. A wonderful friendly couple, welcoming family & friends and a stunning venue with perfect weather. I was spoiled last year with some of the great days I got to document and this was no exception. I will let the pictures do the talking !
With the current crisis dominating all our newsfeeds, I thought it would be nice to share a bit of love, and one of the happiest, “smiliest” weddings I shot last year. Christina & Christopher got married in Sligo, with a quick stop in Sligo IT, followed by Rosses Point Beach before we arrived back at the Radisson Blu, and the party rocked on into the night. With such a warm & welcoming couple and working alongside Pink Lime Studios for video the day went like a dream from start to finish. The beautiful scenery of the Sligo coast was the perfect backdrop for some stunning photos, and with Scruffy Duffy on entertainment and Harlequin providing the music the day moved from fun & chilled to chaos and laughter on the dance floor. What a wonderful day to be part of !
Was also thrilled to hear back from Christina & Christopher when they received their photos.
Morning Kevin,
Just wanted to say thank you so much for the wedding pics I got them yesterday. It was a late night last night going through them all and we absolutely loved them and the box they came in is just beautiful and something we will always have. Do not know how we are going to pick which ones to frame and which ones to use for the thank you cards I keep thinking I have found my favourite of ours and then I come across another.
Thanks so much for capturing our special day you snapped away in the background and we never even noticed you were there you did exactly what I wanted natural unposed shots of our natural unpolished selves
Thanks again for everything!!!
Warmest regards
Christina and Christopher Xxx

What a wonderful year we had in 2019 – met some fab couples, shot at some stunning venues and revisited some old favourites. Throughout the year we did our best to stick to our core values of offering a stress free and relaxed photography experience whilst not compromising on the quality of the final images. We prefer to capture little moments rather than overly posed photos with each couple shoot concentrating on the love and connection rather than big cheesy grins.
For our year end blog post we have picked 19 images which sum up our style and what we try to achieve. This is not a “best of” nor a list of favourite photos, just a hint of what we provide along with a small commentary on each to explain.
We hope you enjoy this review of the year and, if you think we might be a match to what you are looking for we would be delighted if you got in touch.

When presented with a stunning location you can’t pass up the opportunity. I love this timeless image shot during Louise & Johns big day at Ballymagarvey Village.
Having a serious band set up can lead to epic first dance photos – helped by the sheer happiness of Christina & Christopher.

Typical of so many of our shots – leaving the couple to have a chat and a cuddle while we take a back seat. Its when you feel relaxed and comfortable that the connection and love really starts to show.
It’s important that we blend in and become part of the morning leaving everyone to enjoy themselves let their hair down and have a laugh, capturing these moments is a large part of our day.
See above comment !!!! 🙂
We love our walking shots, and this is one of our favourites from Sligo during the summer. Sometimes strong sunlight can be a nightmare for photographers, but sometimes the light can produce magic.
Just after saying “I do” – Nialls smile says it all.
When the light and a bit of imagination work wonders. There was beautiful light in Belleek woods for Juls & Matties wedding. We did our usual “you two have a chat and don’t mind us” and poked through the bushes & trees till we found a gap that perfectly framed the couple.
Daddys first look – no words needed.
Just a little moment captured in the fab grounds of Lough Rynn. You don’t always have to have a big smile on.
Coverage to the speeches & dancing is becoming more & more popular – it’s no wonder when you can capture fun shots like this one.
Another of our “walking shots” – this time in the fab grounds at Killashee House Hotel.
Use of the hotel grounds when they are as stunning at Mount Juliets walled garden is a must.
Your day flies by in an instant – all the more reason to let yourself go & enjoy yourself
Sometimes the couple shoot can descend into giggles – makes for some fab shots !
It was raining and a little cold and I asked Siobhan & Frankie if they were up to a quick pop outside. Turns out that this was a shot that Siobhan had been wanting but was afraid to ask for – never be afraid to suggest shots to your photographer, you only have one chance to get them.
Perhaps my favourite shot of the year – Just after his Mam & Dad tied the knot Ollie shows his delight with his enthusiastic thumbs up !!
I was delighted when Eileen & Tim got in contact with me. Not only did they sound like a great couple, their plans for the day matched up with my style of photography and they also were having their reception in one of my favourite venues, the Killashee House Hotel in Naas so it was a win win win !!! The mornings preps were in the stunning surroundings of the Powerscourt Hotel, the ceremony in the lovely church at Stepaside and then on to Naas for the reception in Killashee. There was such an international flavour to the day, Tim being from Las Vegas, Eileen from Dublin, both living in New York and guests from around the world. The weather behaved, we got some great photos, explored the grounds and still Tim & Eileen had plenty of time to mingle with their guests before the meal started. Before we knew it we were back outside for some evening shots with glorious light and then the party rocked on till the small hours. A great day and a privilege to be part of it 🙂
I went out west again to photograph the wedding of Helen & David – started in Kiltimagh and ended up in the Westport Woods. A long but thoroughly enjoyable day with warm welcomes and an easygoing couple, what more could you want ?
Was only too happy when I heard back from them after they received their photos
Hi Kevin,
Delighted to tell you that we received our wedding photos. We loved the packaging. We are absolutely delighted with the way the photos came out. We had so much fun going through them and reliving all the memories. Thank you so much for everything you done for us on our wedding day. You were a pleasure to work with. You were extremely professional and discrete…almost that much that after the wedding I wondered if you had taken many photos at all 🙂
Thanks again
Helen & David
From our emails & planning beforehand it was important for Helen & David to have plenty of time to mix and chat with their guests, they wanted a more relaxed and stress free day which matched perfectly with our style. The small selection of photos below will give you an idea of they day, enjoy and feel free to share 🙂
