How would you fancy receiving a €50 discount off your wedding photography package ?

I’m delighted to introduce a new referral package for all those who have made their booking with me.

Simply refer me to a friend / couple who are getting married, and, if they also book me I will send you out a voucher to be used against your photography package, not only that, but your friends will also get the same discount, so it’s a win win !!

If you have already paid in full, or your wedding has passed, that’s no problem, the €50 can be used as a credit against a wedding album, or for a 10*8 matted print of your choice from your big day.

There is no limit on the number of referrals – the more the merrier !!!

Just make sure that your friends mention that they are a referral from you…..simple.

What a summer it was, I was so lucky with the happy, fun and relaxed weddings I covered. Always lots of smiles and laughs, topped off with memorable photos of the big day. Jacinta & Joes big day was no exception. They traveled home from Australia to celebrate their day in Banagher and then on to Birr. A quick stop in to the family pub where Jacintha & Joe pulled a few pints and on to blue skies and sunshine in the County Arms Hotel. Lots of laughs, lots of fun, lots of relaxed and informal photos in the lovely grounds and still plenty of time for Jacintha & Joe to mingle with their friends. We even had a few mins to pop outside that night for a few quick photos in the fairy lights & moonlight. If Carlsberg did weddings !!…….

During the summer I had the pleasure of shooting Patria & Conors big day, from Bohola up to The Diamond Coast in Enniscrone with a quick stop in Belleek Castle Woods. This was a lot of firsts for me, first time I stopped in Bohola, first time in Belleek Castle Woods and first time in the Diamond Coast. The whole day was so laid back and fun, lots of smiles and laughs and so relaxed that the time flew by, but both Patria and Conor still had plenty of time to mingle with their friends and family. One of those days when everything fell nicely into place. I’m so glad they ordered an album, it’s one thing to look at your photos on a screen, but they really come to life in an album. Have a look at the photos and try not to smile along with everyone.

Am so happy yet again to be a finalist in this annual awards ceremony. This will be my third year in a row to be a finalist, but, as the standard is incredibly high this year I have zero expectations and am just delighted to be involved. Taken from the IPPVA website :

“The IPPVA awards differ from other awards in that they are solely judged by a panel of national and international professional photographers, both members and non members of the IPPVA, over 4 heats during the year. As such they recognise and reward technical and creative excellence, rather than being a popularity contest or public vote.

Awards are not easy to win, and winning even one is an achievement. Maintaining the consistency required to win four in the same year, in order to qualify as a finalist, is therefore quite special.”

See below for my wedding award winners (I also am a finalist in the landscape category 🙂 )

Although my main photographic style on your wedding day is very relaxed and unobtrusive I am a firm believer in achieving a balance on the day. We make sure to capture the details, the hidden moments, the fun etc. but we also make sure to get the family photos, bridal party photos and some bride & groom photos. The bride & groom shots are not overly rigid, they would probably be more directed than posed, but, if the chance arises for a wow moment we will grab it !!

The key to our work on the day is to ensure that each bride & groom get to spend as much time as possible with their families & friends without any compromise on the final images.

If this sounds like what you might like for your big day contact us today to check availability.

I had a blast photographing Gillian & Michaels wedding last year. It departed from the norm in so many ways. Called out to Gillians first, then back to the lads in Knightsbrook, then back to Gillian and after the preps we had a cute first look, followed by family photos on the lawn of Gillians house. We then headed off to Trim Castle for more family & bridal party photos – and they weren’t even married yet !!!

The few photos at Trim Castle were followed by a trip to the Anglers Rest where they had their marriage ceremony. Then a few final photos up in the Phoenix Park.

Surprisingly enough the day was in no way rushed, the atmosphere was relaxed and so welcoming. I was nearly disappointed when my day was done, but I had, thanks to Gillian & Michael, fallen in love that day. They introduced me to Tim Tams (Aussie Biscuits) and although my waistline wasn’t appreciative, my tastebuds were dancing a jig !!

Always great to get positve feedback “Hi Kevin, thank you so much for the photos – they are absolutely perfect – thanks so much again, Gillian & Michael.
