It was a busy Bank Holiday weekend, with my daughters confirmation, my own wedding anniversary and shooting Kathryn & Justins wedding way over in Achill. It was great to revisit Achill as myself & the gang spent many happy family holidays there (3 in one year alone !!) and thankfully the drive has improved greatly. Having met most of Kathryns family previously I felt at home immediately and the laid back atmosphere really made my job easy. Despite the bad weather we did get a few minutes up on the Atlantic drive, but it was literally that…a few minutes, as the wind would cut you in two. Luckily, the Mulranny Park Hotel was a relatively short hop and before we knew it we were thawing out in its fab surroundings. Staying on till the first few dances really made a difference and I can’t wail till I get editing the set of images. Here are a few draft “sneak peek” images & I hope you enjoy 🙂

Although I’ve done a few weddings this year, my main focus has been clearing the Christmas rush. Great to say I am no up-to-date on all my weddings just before the mayhem really kicks in. Looking forward to visiting some new venues and returning to some favourites, and of course working with the wonderful couples who put their trust in me for their big day. Here are a couple of images from the few 2015 weddings so far 🙂

I had met Roisin & Niall while shooting Roisins sisters wedding a couple of years ago so was delighted when they contacted me from Singapore for their own big day. We had stunning weather and I had trips down memory lane driving through Churchtown and the old grounds of St Annes Milltown. We dropped into the Phoenix Park for a few shots and then onto Castleknock Country Club Hotel where I got dragged into join in the meal – unexpected but appreciated 🙂 As I left, the dancing was in full swing and the place was rocking. What a lovely way to spend a workday !

Received a lovely card in the post the other day from Maggi & Bobby whose wedding I had the pleasure to shoot back in August 2014. Had a great day heading out to Moycullen and then on into Galway City for the ceremony and the heavy rain didn’t dampen any spirits. Added enjoyment on the day was meeting up again with Pat from Getaway Cars, and of course the lovely meal in the Galway Bay hotel (in the company of Andrew Davey Videography) – staying for the first dances sometimes has a bonus 🙂 . The card reads as follows :

Kevin, we couldn’t be happier with our pictures, we show them to everyone, I will be recommending you to many more brides. Your pictures are the the Galway Now March edition and they came out lovely in the magazine too. Thanks for everything. Delighted to have such beautiful pictures of our wedding. Love Maggi & Bobby.

Hopefully you will enjoy the pics below which give a little idea of how happy the day was.

Although my most popular package is still my digital package, I always recommend couples to come back to me at some stage to organize a wedding album. From storybook to slightly more traditional and hand assembled bespoke albums there are styles and tastes to suit all budgets. Yes, the albums can be expensive, but they should be !! When making an investment you want to ensure that the quality of both the album and the printing stands the test of time. This is not just for a wedding couple, but for their children & grandchildren down through the years.

Remember cassette tapes ? Well DVDs could be heading down the obsolete road soon, and although I provide USB keys, how long will it be till they become outdated ? What doesn’t become obsolete or go out of style ?? Photographs ! With a high quality wedding album you have a tangible object which can be handed down through generations for years and dragged out on special occasions (anniversaries, childrens weddings etc..) even if it’s just to laugh at the fashions & hairstyles !!!

You won’t regret investing in an album, but you may regret not doing so. See below for a storybook layout of a recent wedding 🙂
