It had been quite a few years since I shot at the Millhouse in Slane so was delighted when I was asked to shoot the wedding of Tracey & Charles there back in March. The day was full of those little touches and personal bits & pieces all planned from Australia and coming together perfectly on the other side of the world with little or no fuss and a totally relaxed & informal atmosphere. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday (despite the clocks going forward the previous night !!). Have a look yourself at some of the images which are presently winging their way over to Australia. Hope you enjoy.

Jenny had been a bridesmaid at a wedding I shot in 2011 so I was delighted that 5 years later she contacted me about shooting her & Ronans wedding. The brief was simple, minimal time posing, maximum time mingling. with such a relaxed & friendly couple, along with slightly mad guests that was never going to be a problem, and we had the backdrop of Bellinter House to work with. The sun shone, the day flew by and before we knew it it was time for the first dance. It is always a pleasure to shoot someones wedding, but there are days when everything just falls perfectly into place – this was one of those. To top it all off I received a lovely thank you note from Jenny & Ronan and I was delighted to hear how happy they were with their photos. Hopefully the few images below will give you an idea of the day.

“Kevin, thank you so much for the amazing job you did on our wedding photographs – we are so delighted with them. Thank you also for being so lovely on the day, you really made it such an easy and relaxed experience for us which was just what we wanted. Best wishes, Jenny & Ronan.”

My last wedding of 2016 brought me back to Lough Rynn for the wedding of Emma & Raymond. It’s well worth the long drive as the surroundings & staff are second to none – always an enjoyable time there and when added to the laid back & relaaxed attitude of Emma & Raymond it was a lovely way to wrap up the year. we were treated to some stunning winter sunshine as the sun set over the lake, hope you enjoy the pics below.

Most couples pray for the sun on their wedding day, it lifts the spirits, means people can drink “al fresco” and puts everyone in good form……apart from your wedding photographer !!! Strong sun can be much harder to manage than bad weather, people squinting, strong shadows, bleached colours etc….luckily, most professional photographers can handle these conditions. Whereas a dull overcast day, with some cloud detail would be perfect for photos, you can use the sun to your advantage. Recently I was back in the stunning Trudder Lodge for the wedding of Neasa & PJ and the sun was blazing. Using the right angles, and of course the fab location, we were able to capture the image below, and although I’m not normally a fan of bright & bold colours I think this works really well.

So excited to be sharing this wedding on the blog. Siobhan & Kerril had one of those days where everything fell nicely into place. The fab Lyrath Estate was the venue, the weather behaved and when I arrived I was delighted to meet both Leanne from Vow to Wow hairstylist & Dawn from Glamour by Dawn (the local dream team !!) so I knew the girls would be in safe hands. Both Siobhan & Kerril were so great to work with, no fuss, laid back and most importantly – ready to kiss on command !!! I really enjoyed being part of their big day and was delighted with how the final photos turned out with one of them winning an award with the IPPA / Bank of Ireland photographer of the yer 2017. Hope you enjoy the images below.

I love shooting at the Cliff at Lyons, so was really looking forward to the wedding of Lisa & Brian especially after having a chat over coffee on the build-up to the day and seeing that their wishes for the day matched perfectly with mine, relaxed informal photography, all while using the fab surroundings to create a few timeless images with the WOW factor. Turing up at Lisas parents house I was delighted to see that make-up was being done by the very talented Laura Kay and hair being looked after by the equally talented Leanne Nolan of Vow to Wow. Even the weather played ball making the day a real “If Carlsberg did weddings” day – it’s no wonder that a couple of my images from the day have got on to win awards at the IPPA Photographer of the Year competition. Hope you enjoy a small selection of shots from the day.
