Sometimes things just fall nicely into place, I had met Fiona & Gary on the run u to the wedding and we clicked straight away, add in a warm welcome on the day, the rain stopping for the afternoon, singing waiters, throw in a cute dog and a disney theme and wrap it up in the fab surroundings of Moyvalley / Balyna House and it was hard to go wrong. Delighted that Fiona & Gary were so happy with their photos :

Hi Kevin

Wow! Thank you so much for the beautiful photos you took. The presentation box and USB were such a nice touch.

I love the photos,  they really captured the love and laughter on the day, they are so expressive. Some of the candid ones are my favourites,  you caught so many moments that I missed on the day. You also caught some lovely moments between myself and Gary and our families.  I’m so happy with them.

You were a pleasure to deal with in the run up to the wedding and especially on the day you were so relaxed and didn’t have us on a clock like I’ve known some photographers to do.

The slideshow was an unexpected addition and I love it thanks so much. Can’t wait to annoy all my friends now and show them and can’t wait to start working on the album.

Thanks so much for your time, your creative eye and your warmth on the day. I would be happy to recommend you to any bride and groom.

Fiona and Gary

At my age birthdays are not greeted with anticipation, valentines are not forthcoming 🙁 and, apart from junk mail, all that ever lands through my postbox are bills, bills, and more bills !! You can imagine my delight when I received a lovely card from Camilla & Dave whose wedding I shot last summer – yes, an actual card, with real writing etc…:)  –  I was however more excited when I read what was on the card.

“Kevin, thank you so much for the beautiful photos which you captured on the day of our wedding. We were absolutely thrilled with them. It was a pleasure to work with you on the day and we will treasure our photos always. We’ill be in touch in the future about an album. Camilla & David”

To be a wedding photographer you have to love your job, the days are soo exciting, all facets of human emotion are visible, and hopefully captured, but after the hustle & bustle of the day come the hours & hours of processing, tweaking, backups, designing etc., all done in a solitary capacity, followed by the nervous anticipation when you send out the images. So, when a couple take time out of their busy lives to say thanks it’s a thrill and it helps to keep your head in the game.

Not that I had much trouble at Camilla & Daves wedding, a glorious sunny day, a lovely couple (whom I had met at previous weddings), familiar faces within the guests, the fab surroundings of Moyvalley & Balyna House….and to top it off, an ice cream van !!

I was really looking for to Jenny & Ossians wedding as I had never shot in the stunning Moyvalley Hotel before. Unfortunately the weather misbehaved, but, to make matters worse, Jenny told me when I arrived that she had slipped 2 discs in her back the day before !! I needn’t have worried however, as neither the bad weather, nor the slipped discs could put a dampener on a wonderful day. From the intimate ceremony, the stunning location (indoor & out) and the general feel good atmosphere on the day it flew by in a blink of an eye with everyone having a fabulous time. Hopefully the few shots below can give you an idea of the day. Just click on the “play” icon on the bottom right to start the slideshow.
