Fun was the order of the day when Linda and Michael tied the knot in August. From the ceremony in Meelick, a quick stop at the shop and then on to the Lough Rea Hotel & Spa the smiles and laughs never laid up. I was so happy and privileged to be part of their big day and hopefully the photos below will give you an idea of how the day went.
During the summer I had the pleasure of shooting Jenni & Declans big day at Rathsallgh House. with such a relaxed and welcoming couple and a fab venue it was hard to put a foot wrong. From the moment I arrived right through to the dancing where Jenni gave her guests a surprise with her awesome Irish dancing I felt more like a guest than the photographer. Hopefully the photos below will give you an idea of the day and I was so thrilled to hear from the happy couple when they posted a 5 star review on a wedding supplier website.
“Kevin was such a lovely photographer to work with. He was so discreet on our wedding day and yet managed to capture every beautiful moment on our special day. He was so easy to contact and deal with and we just love every one of our photos. The presentation of the photos in box and photo on USB are a lovely touch. I would highly recommend Kevin as your wedding photographer.”
Is the phrase “capture the moment” overused in photography circles ?? Probably, but it can sum up an image, taken in a split second, that won’t be repeated again. It is literally, capturing that moment and freezing it forever, a sneaky kiss on a wedding day, the tears of joy on a parents face, the innocence (or not !!) of children, or just a look, a smile, unposed, unsolicited by the photographer. When we are photographing weddings we keep the posing to a minimum as much as possible and look out for these moments, hoping to catch them – it’s not always possible, but sometimes everything just falls into place. Between the wedding meal and the start of the dancing Alan went for a walk with his daughter, away from the crowds, just a bit of fresh air for the two of them. Luckily I was outside as well, cooling off after a long warm day and was delighted to “capture this moment”.
I had the pleasure of shooting Louise & Patricks big day down in Limerick during May – and what a day it was !! The weather was great, the hotel looked stunning and the gardens were immaculate, but most of all such a lovely couple. Louise, Patrick and their families and friends were every photographers dream, relaxed, welcoming, a good bit of craic and so many laughs – the big belly laughs as well !!. Even though it was a long day it flew, from start to finish it was such a pleasure and I felt more like a guest than the photographer. Their ideas on photography were totally in line with mine, relaxed and unforced and we even got to fit in a quick walk down to the banks of the Shannon for some sunset shots. I was delighted when I heard back from Louise & Patrick after they received their photos which finished off everything nicely.
“Wow, what can I say. Just received our photos and they are amazing. Over the moon Kevin we cannot thank you enough you really did a top notch job. Beyond delighted with them. Thank you so so much x. Louise & Patrick”
Being a wedding photographer, you can win all the awards there are, get fancy spreads in magazines etc. but there is nothing as rewarding as getting good feedback from couples who love their photos. I was very pleasantly surprised this morning to receive a small package in the post, along with a lovely note, they included a family pack of Tim Tams – some of which I had sampled at their wedding. Such a thoughtful (though not for my waistline !!) gift. Their blog has already been published on the page and is worth checking out if you haven’t seen it yet – https://kevinmorris.ie/blog/?p=4668
Dear Kevin,
thank you so much for capturing our special day. Every single photo is amazing and each time we look at them we are transported right back to the 14th July reliving every memory. Hope you enjoy the Tim Tams !! 🙂

Hi Kevin
It’s always a great day shooting at Palmerstown House Estate, even better when you have a totally relaxed couple, and the icing on the cake is when they come back with some lovely feedback 🙂
Have a look at a few images from the day & enjoy.
