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.

Have been quiet on here for the last while as work has me swamped (a great complaint !!). May is traditionally my busiest month between weddings, communions & confirmations and now I can focus on editing and sending out the remaining weddings from the last few months.
Once again, over the last 5 months, I realised how lucky I am to do what I do. Not only do I love photography, but I have met some wonderful, friendly & quirky couples…..and don’t get me started on the bridesmaids !! I have also worked with old colleagues from the wedding industry, visited some new venues, called back to familiar ones and taken bookings for some potentially really exciting weddings.
As I have said in previous posts, my “mission” on the day is to create stunning, artistic images, along with informal shots capturing the atmosphere – all the while making it as painless and smooth a process as possible, giving each couple plenty of time to mingle with their friends & family. If that sounds like what you want for your big day just drop me a line through the contact page and we can take things from there.
In the meantime, see below for a small selection of a few of the weddings so far – hope you enjoy 🙂
Fiona & Kevin travelled home from Australia over Christmas for their wedding which was everything a good wedding should be. Relaxed, fun, yet with lots of personal touches, fab venue and warm & friendly families & guests. The bad weather got in on the act and gave us 30 mins of a dry spell and even Bosco mad an appearance !! – what more could you want ?? It’s an overused phrase, but this wedding really was a pleasure to shoot 🙂 – hope you enjoy the pics below.
January & February are strange times for wedding photogaphers – it’s a very busy time, but very few photos are being taken. A huge amount of time goes into clearing backlogs after the Christmas rush and answering enquiries as Jan & Feb traditionally have the largest volume of enquiries, between couples from this year panicking, and couples from next year planning ahead. Then we are also getting our cameras, lenses & other equipment serviced and prepped for this years weddings, as well as formatting drives and cards so, when things get manic again, we can just concentrate on the important bit…taking photos !! I also have a couple of other things in process….watch out for exciting news & developments over the coming weeks 🙂 So it’s nearly goodbye to 2015 (just a few weddings left) and hello to 2016 🙂
Always nice to get feedback from your peers and in the most recent heat of the IPPA Photographer of the Year I received awards for the following 5 images – happy times 🙂
I like to have a balance in my wedding photos, a few formals, a few nice shots of the happy couple, but I concentrate on the unseen moments, the fun, the smiles, or the downright funny. I’m hoping this wasn’t a high powered business call 🙂
