relaxed wedding photographer

An overused phrase, but an underappreciated art.

When I shoot a wedding, apart from the traditional “must have” shots, along with some timeless couple photos I love to include as many candid or documentary shots as possible. These photos capture the little moments, the unexpected laughs, the tender interactions and tell a different side of your days story.

I tend to keep these photos black and white, no distracting colours, just a classic image telling a story or, as they say, capturing a moment.

The key to a lot of these images is to try be in the right place, at the right time, so whereas they might not be technically perfect they provide exactly what you are looking for.

To consider documentary / candid images as supplementary to the “main” images is incorrect in my opinion. I actually feel that they are complimentary and help build up a true reflection and storyline of your big day.

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.”

I always like visiting new venues and was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived at Ashley Park House for the first time. Such a wonderful lakeside venue which matched Martina & Steves retro vibe so well. I had met Martina & Steve a couple of times, firstly over coffee and then out along the beach for an engagement shoot so I knew that it was going to be a very relaxed affair. From the preps in the blink and you miss them Lough Derg Cottages in Puckaun, right up to the dancing, the whole thing was stress free and quite informal, and we even got a few shots between the speeches and dancing, just before the rain started. Have a look through the images below, hopefully they capture the vibe and atmosphere of the day.

A regular line in enquiries we receive is “we hate having our photos taken” or “we’re not really camera people / we’re not comfortable in front of the camera”.

Rest assured, this is more common than you think, and one of the reasons for a lot of our referrals is that we blend into the background, have a relaxed and stress free manner and don’t keep the couple away for hours on a photo shoot. What we do before each wedding is plan for time spent getting photos, keeping it to a minimum but without compromise on quality, and then we make the actual photos as painless as possible. When photographing a couple there is not much in the way of “look at me and say cheese”, it’s more interaction between each couple, and more directed than overly posed.

We are always delighted to take the lead from couples in terms of what they want from their photos and are more than happy to offer assistance and guidance if needed.

Why not drop us a line and arrange a chat to see how we can help on your big day.

Hi Kevin

Got the photos last week.

Thanks a mil, they are fabulous…..your attention to detail was superb and we couldn’t be happier with them

Many thanks

Fiona & Ciaran

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.

How lucky am I ?? Over the last few weeks I got to visit some stunning venues, photograph amazing weddings and more importantly, meet some wonderful loved up couples who made me feel so welcome & part of the day. We have also been blessed with some fab weather, despite my hate for strong sunshine !!! Lots of drinks on the lawn and epic photos. Throughout every day I do my very best to keep everything moving along, capturing photos with the minimum of fuss & stress, nabbing those little moments as well as the wow factor shots and making the photography aspect of the day as seamless and relaxed as possible.

Key dates are starting to fill up in 2019 and enquiries are already coming in for 2020 but on the flip side I still have some limited availability for late 2018.

Some recent feedback (always nice to get before they even see the photos !) “Absolutely amazing for my sister’s wedding, Kevin couldn’t have been more helpful fun and fantastic, he captured every special moment of the day! Cannot recommend enough thank you for everything!!!” – Megan Ryan “Hi Kevin,Thanks so much for everything on Saturday! You helped everything run smoothly and got us all the time we wanted with our guests at the drinks reception. Thanks again for all your hard work and we look forward to our photo dispatch date.” Amy & Eoin

Why not contact us today to see if your date is still free and, in the meantime see attached for a few quick photos from this years recent weddings. I am hoping to give these the full blog treatment once the couples have received their final images.

Look forward to hearing from you 🙂
