Mayo is fast becoming my second home for weddings – I regularly find myself heading along the N5 out west and for Ashlyn & Bennys wedding it was the first time I visited Swinford. Relaxed and easygoing are often overused terms, but it was so much the case on this day. Quick visit to both the girls and the boys, lovely ceremony and then on to Knockranny Woods on the way to Kilronan Castle. The weather was perfect and the craic was great as the day turned into evening. Ashlyn & Benny chose the essential plus package up to the dancing and I was delighted as the dancing on clouds was a surprise (and a first time) for me so the fabulous first dance rounded off the day nicely. Hopefully the photos below will give you an idea of the day.

One of the fun parts of my regular backups & archives is revisiting of weddings I have shot in the past. It is interesting to see how, or if my style changes over the years. I found with my recent archive that my style of relaxed and stress free photography has been present in my weddings for most of my years doing this gig full time (and I love an aul walking shot !!)

My first few weddings were on medium format film cameras, 12 shots per roll of film so my camera bag was full of film and not full of gear ! The advent of high quality digital cameras made such a difference though in how I shoot weddings. They gave me the freedom of travelling light, (medium format cameras were big beasts !) being able to capture a lot more images without having to worry about changing film, and the ability to develop my own images right on the computer screen – a real game changer.

However, using film cameras stood me in good stead, each camera click was a cost so I had to know my composition and posing down to the smallest of details. This background now enables me to be able to mix my love of candid and documentary shots along with the odd more traditional pose ensuring that I deliver a well balanced selection of images detailing the whole day as it unfolds.

See below for just a few shots I pulled from my recent archive – hope you enjoy 🙂

I was so looking forward to Ruth & Craigs wedding. I had met Ruth a number of times over the years at various functions and was delighted when she asked me to photograph their wedding. It all fell so nicely into place with Ruths preps taking place in the newly refurbished Shoreline Hotel, just 5 mins from my house. I was to meet Criag in Darver Castle where the ceremony & reception were being held – one of my favourite venues in the country. The weather played ball, everyone was in great form and the party kicked off even before the meal was served with Tropical Storm leading a huge sing song. I have so many photos I love from the day, the selection below is just a small sample which hopefully gets across the atmosphere of the day.

Although we offer a range of digital packages along with album packages, we would always encourage couples to consider investing in a wedding album. Your photos come alive when printed, and when designed properly gives a beautiful timeline from start to finish of the day. If you have chosen a digital package from us, you are under no obligation to order an album, but if you choose to do so, it can be ordered at any stage after the wedding. A very popular time for ordering albums is around 10 months after the wedding day so you have it for your first anniversary, but we have printed albums for couples 4 years after their wedding day.

Our most recent album was packaged and sent down to sunny Wexford to Susan & Kevin and they took the time to let us know how they felt :

Hi Kevin,

We received the album today and absolutely love it! Thanks so much. We are so impressed with the quality of the photos and it really tells the story of the day.
We’re on the road to Mayo now and can’t wait to show it to them all there!
Thanks again,
Susan and Kevin
