Reportage Photography

I did quite a few weddings during 2014 and they were all very special & joyous occasions – however, the wedding of Stephanie & Joshua will linger long in my mind. Traveling from the USA, this was such an intimate affair with a total of 18 guests (including the bride & groom). It was set in the fab Hunters Hotel, a spot I hadn’t been to previously, and it was run by Collette from Elegant Events so I knew from previous experience the little touches would be perfect. But perhaps the most memorable part of the day was the fact the Stephanie (the bride) had just been discharged from hospital after taking severely ill, and was only discharged because she was getting married. Did this affect her ?? Not in the slightest !! The giddiness, the fun and the love between Stephanie & Joshua shone through, as did the evening sun making for some memorable photos.Hope you enjoy 🙂

It was great to be back at Thomas Prior Hall for the wedding of Sarah & Darragh. It’s such a fab venue which suits the Christmas season so well. This was very much an international affair, with the b&g both living abroad (in different countries / continents !!), and with guests flying in from all corners of the world it was a fantastic atmosphere, with everyone out to have a great time – which they did (with gusto !). Hope you enjoy the few pics below.

I’ve been neglecting posting my reportage pics, the bread & butter of what I do. Yes, I like the bride & groom photos, the family & friends photos, and they are all “must haves” for most weddings, but I love those moments, unseen by most, but captured forever. Here are a few recent award winners with the IPPA (Irish Professional Photographers Association) – hope you enjoy.

I had the absolute pleasure of shooting Fiona & Davids wedding in the stunning Bellingham Castle this October. It was a great day, the sun shone, the crowd were great and Fiona & David were wonderful to deal with. Not only did we share a mutual love of beaches & dogs 🙂 but, on the day, we complimented each other with our relaxed attitude which lead to some lovely photos. Just a small selection follows.

Dear Kevin,

We’ve just finished looking at our photos and what can we say……they are fabulous !!!!

Thank you so much for capturing such beautiful photos of our special day.

We couldn’t get over all the details that you had captured – they are fabulous.

You got such beautiful shots around the church and the scenery in Ballymagarvey.

We are delighted with them – thank you so much !!!

We would highly recommend you to our friends (and even did so without seeing the photos !!)

It was a pleasure to deal with you from the beginning, and on the day you made us feel so relaxed.

The end result is amazing – thanks a mill

Ide & Patrick.

During the late summer I had the pleasure of travelling down to the far reaches of Wexford to shoot the wedding of Clarie & Dylan. It was a long drive down to the church in Duncannon and from there to Dunbrody house, but with perfect weather conditions and a great crowd it was so well worth the trip. Even got to chat with Kevin Dundon who served me a bowl of the most delicious soup (cauliflower & curry) before I hit the road back to Dublin. I was subsequently delighted to hear back from Clarie & Dylan.

“Kevin,

Just a note to say thanks a million the photos were amazing.Thank you for everything we are both so thrilled.”

Clarie & Dylan”
