Fun was the order of the day when Linda and Michael tied the knot in August. From the ceremony in Meelick, a quick stop at the shop and then on to the Lough Rea Hotel & Spa the smiles and laughs never laid up. I was so happy and privileged to be part of their big day and hopefully the photos below will give you an idea of how the day went.
During the summer I had the pleasure of shooting Jenni & Declans big day at Rathsallgh House. with such a relaxed and welcoming couple and a fab venue it was hard to put a foot wrong. From the moment I arrived right through to the dancing where Jenni gave her guests a surprise with her awesome Irish dancing I felt more like a guest than the photographer. Hopefully the photos below will give you an idea of the day and I was so thrilled to hear from the happy couple when they posted a 5 star review on a wedding supplier website.
“Kevin was such a lovely photographer to work with. He was so discreet on our wedding day and yet managed to capture every beautiful moment on our special day. He was so easy to contact and deal with and we just love every one of our photos. The presentation of the photos in box and photo on USB are a lovely touch. I would highly recommend Kevin as your wedding photographer.”
Rarely do we get to complain about the weather being too good, but this was the case for Shauna and Davys big day at Seafield !! Not a cloud in the sky and blistering sunshine all day. Luckily, having shot quite a few weddings at Seafield I knew a couple of shaded spots, and a few others to take advantage of the very “unIrish” weather. Neither Shauna nor Davy wanted to be away from their guests for too long so we drafted up a timeline for the day and everything fell into place perfectly on the day so they had plenty of time for mingling and yet we still got some epic shots. This was a joy of a wedding to work on from warm welcomes to emotional speeches, great location (I love shooting in Seafield) and such a nice and genuine couple, these type of days are why I feel privileged to do what I do for a living. I was so thrilled when, after delivery of their album, I received a lovely email from the happy couple.
Hi Kevin,
Take one great relaxed and fun couple, throw in a sprinkle of retro glamour, add a fab boutique venue, wonderful weather, drinks on the lawn and mix them all together and you get Amy & Eoins big day in Marlfield House. With everything taking place in the one spot and the ceremony in a clearing in the forest it really was a pleasure to be part of the day. After the photos made their way to Australia to the happy couple I was thrilled to hear back from them :
Hi Kevin,
We received the photos in the post on Thursday and have been looking through them since. The box and presentation is fantastic and the photos are fantastic.
When the bridal preps are only 3 minutes drive from home, then 2 minutes to the church, add in the stunning Cabra Castle as a venue and the most laid back and friendly couple and you know you are on to a winner. Niamh and Alan were an absolute pleasure to work with and I was delighted with how their photos turned out, even more delighted when I heard back from them.
“We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos! Thank you so much!! I can’t even remember half of these photos being taken, which shows how great you are at what you do!. Thanks again for capturing our day so well! Kind regards”, Niamh & Alan.
A regular line in enquiries we receive is “we hate having our photos taken” or “we’re not really camera people / we’re not comfortable in front of the camera”.
Rest assured, this is more common than you think, and one of the reasons for a lot of our referrals is that we blend into the background, have a relaxed and stress free manner and don’t keep the couple away for hours on a photo shoot. What we do before each wedding is plan for time spent getting photos, keeping it to a minimum but without compromise on quality, and then we make the actual photos as painless as possible. When photographing a couple there is not much in the way of “look at me and say cheese”, it’s more interaction between each couple, and more directed than overly posed.
We are always delighted to take the lead from couples in terms of what they want from their photos and are more than happy to offer assistance and guidance if needed.
Why not drop us a line and arrange a chat to see how we can help on your big day.
