It was great to visit Bohernabreena Church for a happy occasion as my previous visit had been for funerals !! Roisin & Tomas had planned everything from afar (Australia to be exact) but the one thing they could control, the weather, was predicted to misbehave. All plans of stops on the trip to the Glenview Hotel, along with possibilities of drives over the mountains were scrapped as we tried to beat the bad weather to the venue. Luckily we made it to the hotel with about 20 mins to spend in the gardens before the heavens opened, but even the heavy downpours couldn’t dampen spirits as a great time was had by all 🙂

Are you one of those couples who don’t like posing for photos, not relaxed in front of the camera ? I specialise in relaxed & informal photography with the emphasis

on natural rather than overly posed and in your face photos. Yes, I still will take a few closeups – but not loads, I prefer to get the couple to walk off, have a chat and

look at each other rather than at me. If this is what you are after for your photos just drop me a line and perhaps we can work together to deliver a fabulous selection

of relaxed yet beautiful and intimate photos from your big day.

I always look forward to shooting weddings, but was especially looking forward to Aoife & Dannys wedding as it was being held in Kippure Estate, a first time at the venue for me, but I know the roads around the area from my landscape days and love the Wicklow countryside.  We took a detour and crossed over to Lough Tay and it was well worth the trip as we got a stunning image, one for the wall !!! The whole day was laid back, relaxed, but went like clockwork, and the fab surroundings of Kippure Estate really lent itself to the overall atmosphere, even though I couldn’t get the bride & groom to go on the zip-line, or partake in a bit of paintballing !!  🙂 Hope you like the pics below.

Had a lovely day photographing Deirdre & Joels wedding at Horetown House recently. Was great to meet up with previous couples (I had photographed Deirdres brothers wedding) and the welcome back from Kate & Niamh in Horetown (along with a pot of coffee) was just what I needed after a long drive. See attached pics for a flavour of the day.

Although a short blog on Aoife & Dannys wedding is in the offing, I thought I would share with you one image from their day. Taken looking out over Lough Tay, on the road to Kippure Estate, just an hour or so before Bertha (the storm :)) hit. Although I operate primarily in the background on the day, when presented with an opportunity to create such a stunning image you grab it with both hands !!

It’s always nice when you know at least some of the main wedding party. So was the case when photographing Louise & James wedding as I had previously shot a wedding for Louises brother Shane, who married Sinead, who also acted as Louises bridesmaid, might sound a bit confusing, but trust me, I felt at home !!! St Feichins church in Fore seems to be a magnet for rain, as, yet again it lashed out of the heavens meaning a visit to the wonderful ruins of Fore Abbey was out of the question. On arrival at Clonabreany the sky was clear and the sun was shining so we managed to get a few outdoor pics.
