Was delighted to capture Ash & Sams big day in Wicklow. They wanted a relaxed day, no stress but still capturing all the “must have” with the minimum of cheese and plenty of time to mingle with their guests. With everything happening on site in Brooklodge and the stunning backdrops, and the lovely couple being so chilled & welcoming this was an easy task, even a couple of showers couldn’t dampen spirits. A wonderful day was made even more memorable with Sams mam, Louise, being the celebrant on the day.

“Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful photos, they are fab and capture our wedding day perfectly. Thanks so much for everything, Ash & Sam.”

Although I don’t push them, I would always recommend getting a wedding album made. A beautiful keepsake to last through the ages, it might not always be on display, but it’s wonderful to take out on family occasions to have a look through.

I was delighted to design a recent album for Brandon as a surprise gift for Lynn for their first anniversary, and thrilled that they were so happy with it.

“We opened up the album yesterday! Wow it turned out fantastic!! Thanks so much!!! Lynn loved it!!”

Brandon chose the ever popular linen covered album with personalised cover, presentation box and parent albums.

Capture the moment is an often overused photography expression, but it describes documentary/reportage photography perfectly. These are fleeting moments, missed by many but, thanks to photography now captured forever. The day goes by so fast for each couple, it’s nice to be able to look back on those little interactions, laughs, tears & hugs that they missed or went so quickly they had forgotten about.

My style on the day is to try keep everything as documentary as possible, whereas I still get all those “must have” shots and am more than happy to try get specific shots wanted by each couple, I prefer a fly on the wall approach and capturing the day as it unfolds.

I also prefer most of my documentary shots to be in Black & White – the viewer is not distracted by colours and the focus is on the moment. Colour versions are always available if required !!

Let’s face it, not everyone likes being in front of the camera, especially on your wedding day when you want to mingle with your family & friends and not spend all day hanging out with your photographer !!

I specialise in stress free photography, less of the stiff poses and more of a documentary style of photos. Blending into the background I capture the day as it unfolds and while we still get all the “must have” shots alongside some timeless couple shots, it’s all done with the minimum of fuss giving plenty of time for couples to chill with their guests and enjoy their day.

See below for just a few lines of feedback from happy couples.

“We didn’t even realise some of these photos were being taken, you were so natural and not intrusive at all” Vanessa & Dan

“He managed to capture the essence of our day perfectly, all while being invisible !!” Amy & Richelle

“Thank you so much for the amazing photography and thank you for being so easy-going and relaxed”. Aileen & Colm.

“Thanks again for the way you approached the day and for the way you made everyone so comfortable & relaxed.” Niamh & Greg

“It was only when we saw the photos that we realised he had a birds eye view and caought so many of the candid moments, he put us all at ease and was great to have around on the day” Helena & Joe

What a wonderful day spent with such a lovely couple, topped off with being back at the Village Barn, one of the more unique venues in Ireland for weddings. Two fab brides, friendly and welcoming families and friends, relaxing and fun vibe all wrapped up in a quirky alternative venue – what more could you ask for ? How about a really nice review ??

“Kevin was a pleasure to deal with right from the beginning. We wanted our day to be as relaxed and stress free as possible and Kevin managed to fit in seamlessly. He managed to capture the essence of our day perfectly all while being invisible! (Even when being attacked by a swarm of bees) We are still in awe of the finished photos and also still scratching our heads wondering how he managed to take some of the photos with no one knowing he was around. A true professional and amazing artist”

Fast becoming one of my favourite venues, Ballykealey House set a stunning backdrop for Brigid & Ciarans wedding – the autumn colours were the star of the show !!

Delighted to hear from the happy couple :

Hi Kevin,

How are you? Just wanted to drop you a note before the weekend to say that the photos arrived yesterday. We are absolutely delighted with them, they are really stunning. The pics from the woodland especially are fabulous, the colours are just amazing. We really love them all though, the photos really captured the day the way we wanted them to. Thanks so much for an amazing job, we will definitely be leaving a great review and recommending you to anyone we can!

Have a great weekend and thanks again.

Kind regards,

Brigid and Ciaran
