Delighted to be announced as a finalist in the IPPA / Bank of Ireland Professional Photographer of the year 2017.
These awards are voted on by our peers so it makes them very special and although I have no ideas of winning, it’s fantastic to be involved and included among so many talented craftspersons. See attached for my final panel of images that made the cut and a big thanks to all the couples who put their trust in me to capture their day.
It’s been a few years since I shot at the Millhouse and I was really looking forward to going back. I wasn’t disappointed – stunning venue, extremely laid back and relaxed couple along with fab weather. Watch out for a sneak peek over the coming weeks, but here’s one to keep you going
From an epic engagement shoot through to the dancing, Sam & Barrys wedding went like a dream. A nice relaxed atmosphere from start to finish and, to top it all off, some lovely words after the happy couple received their photos.
We can’t tell you how pleased we were with our own photos. You helped make the day the most memorable day of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience with your help. You will be happy to know we spent a number of weeks after we received them showing them off and raving to whoever would listen as to how happy we were with them. Thank you.
My brief for Aisling & Marks wedding was simple – lots of unposed shots of friends & family enjoying themselves – suited my style perfectly. Such a relaxed & friendly couple to work with made the day even better and, despite the weather being a shocker on the day, everyone had a great time and the staff at Glasson were as helpful as always. A surprise addition of a singing waiter kept the day buzzing along till everyone hit the dancefloor with gusto. Was a privilege to be part of this great day 🙂
Delighted that, in the final heat of the IPPA photographer of the year, I received eight awards, six “Highly Commended” and two hard to achieve “Merits”. These images are judged by my fellow peers and professionals so it means a lot to receive any awards, let alone eight !
So that’s another year in the can. Many thanks to everyone who put their trust in me for their big day, I met so many great couples, warm & welcoming families and my fair share of slightly mad bridesmaids and there was never a dull moment. I got to visit some new venues this year as well as revisit some old favourites. We really have some stunning venues throughout the country and such hardworking staff to ensure the day goes without a hitch (apart from one major one !!!)
A large percentage of my weddings come from referrals, so I also get the added bonus of meeting up with lots of previous couples at their friends weddings. I am extremely grateful for all referrals – they are the bookings that always mean the most.
This coming year is looking bright with a few more new venues along with meeting some families for the second (and third !!) times. I am fairly tied up through to the end of August with just a few select dates available, September through to November has better availability but the far side of Christmas up to NYE is booked out.
If you would like your photography to be relaxed, unobtrusive but with a bit of the WOW factor thrown in why not drop me a line to check availability.
For the month of January I am running a special, for all weddings booked & deposit paid. Book a standard digital package and receive a free upgrade to a deluxe USB presentation box which includes 100 6*4 inch photos from your day carefully selected to create your personal storyline. Book any standard album package and get a free album upgrade from 30 to 40 pages. This is only applicable for January bookings, but can be applied to 2017 and 2018 weddings. Details of package & prices are available through the website.
See below for a selection of images from throughout the year – not a best of nor a collection of favourites, just a few images that sum up my style of photography and how I try to balance the small moments with stunning wedding images.
