Sometimes you have days when everything falls perfectly into place. From the moment I met Hayley and Paddy we just clicked and throughout the day we had some great laughs which made the photos so much easier. They definitely wanted a more relaxed vibe but of course, with the backdrop of Carton House we made sure to get a few fab couple shots. I was well chuffed to receive a wonderful email from Hayley after she received her photos – makes everything worthwhile 🙂
With the current restrictions most weddings these days are smaller, intimate celebrations but no less wonderful.When you have the right venue, good weather and a fab couple it’s amazing what you can achieve in 2 hours.
With the first anniversary of our first full lockdown in Ireland approaches I thought it was time to share some happy smiles and fun times to break through the doom & gloom.
Weddings will happen again, we will get to celebrate with our nearest and dearest.
We will get to laugh,love & live again.
Hopefully the small selection of images will help put a spring in your step 🙂
Covid ensured that 2020 was a tough year for all, not least the wedding industry. Lots of couples faced the prospect of postponing their weddings, many faced not one, but two cancellations but through it all, love found a way.
Throughout the latter half of the year there was a dramatic rise in more intimate ceremonies, some with as few as 6, some with 25 and what wonderful celebrations they were.
My last wedding for 2020 was when Emma and Derrick tied the knot in City Hall Dublin, we took a few shots while walking through the city streets and finished off at the Schoolhouse on Northumberland Road where they were having a family meal in lovely surroundings. It was a great way to sign off on a not so great year !!
See below for a small selection of images.
In the current climate it was lovely to receive a card from Christina & Christopher thanking me for their photos (again!) and also sharing their wonderful news.
“Thank you so much for capturing our wedding day so beautifully last year ! We are so grateful to have had our special day surrounded by our friends & family & having all those beautiful photos to capture the memories is extremely special to us”
This was a match made in heaven as my style of relaxed and contemporary shooting tied in perfectly with their personalities and what they wanted to get out of the day.
Had a wonderful day shooting Ruth & Craigs wedding at Darver Castle. I had crossed paths with Ruth on numerous times due to mutual friends so was thrilled when she asked me to shoot her wedding. The day was fab, the location terrific and the people so welcoming and relaxed that the photos just happened, relaxed and stress free. I was so happy with how they turned out, and was delighted when Ruth & Craig took the time to drop me a line.
“Hi Kevin,
Just wanted to drop a line to say thank you so much, we absolutely love the album. Its stunning !!!! I’m so glad we decided on doing one and we didn’t put it on the long finger (which might never happen ?).
Showing everyone the album over the last few weeks has really brought the memories of the day flooding back. You really captured the day to perfection, which was full of love and laughter. Whittling down to just 85 was a tough one as we love them but your help putting it together made it so easy. It was definitely worth doing and we will have it forever.
Thank you so so much
Take care
Ruth & Craig”
