informal wedding photography

It’s an overused phrase, but it’s also what we build our foundation on – not being keen on being in front of the camera myself, I fully know the importance of making the photos as easy and natural as possible, plus it also get the “real” emotions and laughs and, in the process hopefully captures your personality.

Don’t just take my word for it though – I recently had the pleasure of shooting Vanessa & Daniels wedding down in Co Limerick and, although only having seen a few shots, I was thrilled to hear from them :

“Thank you so much again for everything Kevin, nothing I say can do justice to how brilliant you were. Was just talking earlier about how we didn’t even realise some of these photos were being taken, you were so natural and not intrusive at all – it made for some of the most amazing shots because I feel like you really captured the essence of myself and Dan’s relationship “

An overused phrase, but an underappreciated art.

When I shoot a wedding, apart from the traditional “must have” shots, along with some timeless couple photos I love to include as many candid or documentary shots as possible. These photos capture the little moments, the unexpected laughs, the tender interactions and tell a different side of your days story.

I tend to keep these photos black and white, no distracting colours, just a classic image telling a story or, as they say, capturing a moment.

The key to a lot of these images is to try be in the right place, at the right time, so whereas they might not be technically perfect they provide exactly what you are looking for.

To consider documentary / candid images as supplementary to the “main” images is incorrect in my opinion. I actually feel that they are complimentary and help build up a true reflection and storyline of your big day.

We are blessed with so many wonderful wedding venues throughout the country, but we all have our favourites, and for me, Clonabreany is one of mine.

I have been shooting here now for many years and I still love the relaxed vibe, the great grounds and the helpful staff. Rachel and Tony were such an easygoing and friendly couple and were a perfect match for Clonabreany, and also for my style of natural and relaxed photography. From early morning preps in Tom Blake House, working alongside Gerry from Limelight Wedding Films, and with the girls in the hands of the wonderful Fiona Harrison and Stylicious Styling I knew I was on to a winner of a day – and what a day it was !!

Hopefully the photos below can give you an idea of the day, and, if they look like what you might like for your celebration just get in touch – we would love to hear from you !

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 🙂

What a wonderful way to start getting back into weddings. Kate & Darren had their intimate celebration at Kilshane House, the weather behaved and we actually had the ceremony down by the lakeshide in the boathouse followed by drinks in the courtyard a the front of the house. I was welcomed with open arms (virtual !!) and really felt part of the day from start to finish. I was delighted when I received some lovely feedback from them both :

“Kevin was the photographer for our wedding in Kilshane House this summer and he was absolutely brilliant. He was so lovely and fun to work with. He was able to blend into the background and capture everybody so beautifully.We have so many candid pictures that we absolutely love. Kevin also took amazing posed pictures and made us feel so relaxed during the process. We have such a lovely mix of posed and candid pictures, our biggest issue is now choosing which ones to add to our album!!! The initial presentation of the photographs was also really lovely. We received a wooden box with ~100 chosen snaps and a matching USB with >1000 other pictures. I would absolutely recommend him to anybody!”

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.

“Hi Kevin,

We had a look at the photos last night, we absolutely love them!

They are exactly what we wanted, nice and relaxed. The photos taken during the ceremony, we didn’t even notice you and we were delighted to relive it all again

The outdoor shots of myself and Niall up the walkway between the trees are amazing!

Thank you one again very much for taking us on such short notice, we really appreciate it. I will defo be recommending you to everyone! Hopefully you have lots more weddings to shoot over the coming months

Thanks such

Sarah & Niall “
