I’m a sucker for silhouettes – so, when couples often ask me what we will do if it gets dark I never worry – albeit helped by a sunset, this type of image is achievable with minimum fuss. This was taken in Ballymagarvey Village, after sunset in late November and there was no set up apart from “face each other and kiss” !! 🙂
A lot of the feedback I get from couples is that they were delighted with the informal and unposed photos of them mingling with their guests, the laughs, the quiet, intimate and sometimes funny moments that go unnoticed. I love these shots myself, and, whereas it’s always necessary to have the few family shots, and of course some nice bride & groom portraiture, it’s the unposed shots that build up and capture the atmosphere of the day and help to flesh out the “story”.
See below for a small selection of pics from last years weddings – this is not a top 50, nor a collection of my favourite shots (I’d need days to whittle them down !!) – just a representative sample of reportage photography – hope you enjoy 🙂
I had a great day in the Stephouse shooting Elaine & Barrys wedding in late 2014. If ever there was proof that people make the wedding this was it…..despite constant rain, everyone still had a blast in the fab surroundings of the Stephouse. Great laughs all day, an epic photobomb (image number 45 !!) and a selection of cakes to die for 🙂 Hopefully the pics below will give you an idea of the day, and I was delighted to receive a lovely email from the couple :
Hi Kevin
We’ve settled back into normal everyday life after the honeymoon and a big house move. We were so excited to go through the wedding photographs when we got back!
We are just so happy with them all – you captured our day perfectly. I’m in love with the candid, fly on the wall style – it’s great to see everyone enjoying themselves! And the posed shots even look natural!
They are exactly what we wanted, it’s going to be a hard job figuring out what to use for our album.
It was so special to be able to relive the day through the photo’s, especially to see my grandad as he passed away recently.
Thank you again, you were so easy to deal with and would highly recommend you to anyone!
All the best
Elaine & Barry
Hi Kevin
Nearly crashed my car car last night rushing home to see the photos!And it would have been worth it. They are amazing! We really love the little sideshow you put together too! You really captured some gems! So lovely to look back on.
Thank you so much again.
We will be In touch regarding the album.
Thanks again
Conor and Linda
Had a really enjoyable day when shooting Maria & Martins wedding – had met Maria at lots of her friends weddings – and was lovely to meet so many past couples. Then, to top it off, received this lovely bit of feedback
Hi Kevin
Back in November I travelled up to Blacklion in Cavan for the wedding of Rachel & Dan. This was going to be a good one as the reception was in the stunning Markree Castle. After a quick stop at the local pub we headed up to Rachels grandads land (in an incident filled drive !) and then on to Markree in Sligo. Unfortunately the Sligo traffic put paid to my hopes of some outside shots in Markree so I was delighted we had a few in the bag. See below for a small selection of images from the day.
