reportage wedding photography

Living in Ireland we are blessed with the stunning scenery that surrounds us.

It’s brilliant when shooting a wedding that we get a chance to incorporate it into our images and create a stunning photo to last a lifetime (or just to hang on your wall !!:))

We were up at Rosses Point in Co Sligo when me captured this shot of Christina & Christopher silhouetted by the shimmering Atlantic Ocean and rolling hills.

One of my favourite images from 2019.

If you want a stress free and relaxed photographer, with an eye for stunning images why not get in contact to check availability.

I love Mayo weddings !! I was thrilled when Julie & Mattie asked me to photograph their big day, starting in Knock and heading off to the Diamond Coast in Enniscrone. I had met them them at a couple of weddings previously, and in fact, I felt right at home as there were three couples as guests whose weddings I had previously shot, as well as another couple whose big day I am shooting this year. Although Julie and the girls looked stunning, Mattie & the boys scrubbed up well and the light was fantastic in Belleek Woods the real star of the show was Ollie, who was so excited that his mam & dad were tying the knot, just look at his face and thumbs up after they said “I Do” ! It was an immense day, welcoming families, great company, fab weather and a stunning selection of photos – all captured without fuss or stress and with a genuinely natural feel about them.
I love Mayo weddings…..if only they were closer !!:)

What a wonderful year we had in 2019 – met some fab couples, shot at some stunning venues and revisited some old favourites. Throughout the year we did our best to stick to our core values of offering a stress free and relaxed photography experience whilst not compromising on the quality of the final images. We prefer to capture little moments rather than overly posed photos with each couple shoot concentrating on the love and connection rather than big cheesy grins.

For our year end blog post we have picked 19 images which sum up our style and what we try to achieve. This is not a “best of” nor a list of favourite photos, just a hint of what we provide along with a small commentary on each to explain.

We hope you enjoy this review of the year and, if you think we might be a match to what you are looking for we would be delighted if you got in touch.

When presented with a stunning location you can’t pass up the opportunity. I love this timeless image shot during Louise & Johns big day at Ballymagarvey Village.

Having a serious band set up can lead to epic first dance photos – helped by the sheer happiness of Christina & Christopher.

Typical of so many of our shots – leaving the couple to have a chat and a cuddle while we take a back seat. Its when you feel relaxed and comfortable that the connection and love really starts to show.

It’s important that we blend in and become part of the morning leaving everyone to enjoy themselves let their hair down and have a laugh, capturing these moments is a large part of our day.

See above comment !!!! 🙂

We love our walking shots, and this is one of our favourites from Sligo during the summer. Sometimes strong sunlight can be a nightmare for photographers, but sometimes the light can produce magic.

Just after saying “I do” – Nialls smile says it all.

When the light and a bit of imagination work wonders. There was beautiful light in Belleek woods for Juls & Matties wedding. We did our usual “you two have a chat and don’t mind us” and poked through the bushes & trees till we found a gap that perfectly framed the couple.

Daddys first look – no words needed.

Just a little moment captured in the fab grounds of Lough Rynn. You don’t always have to have a big smile on.

Coverage to the speeches & dancing is becoming more & more popular – it’s no wonder when you can capture fun shots like this one.

Another of our “walking shots” – this time in the fab grounds at Killashee House Hotel.

Use of the hotel grounds when they are as stunning at Mount Juliets walled garden is a must.

Your day flies by in an instant – all the more reason to let yourself go & enjoy yourself

Sometimes the couple shoot can descend into giggles – makes for some fab shots !

It was raining and a little cold and I asked Siobhan & Frankie if they were up to a quick pop outside. Turns out that this was a shot that Siobhan had been wanting but was afraid to ask for – never be afraid to suggest shots to your photographer, you only have one chance to get them.

Perhaps my favourite shot of the year – Just after his Mam & Dad tied the knot Ollie shows his delight with his enthusiastic thumbs up !!

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 🙂

We are known for our relaxed and unobtrusive style of photography without any compromise on quality. We ensure that we get all the “must have” shots and timeless imagery of the couple in a stress free manner but what we also strive to do it to capture the unposed shots as much as possible. The little moments create the big memories. Capturing these moments are always easier when you throw a child into the mix !! Here are a few of my recent favourites, grooms with their children on the big day. Unposed interactions that last a lifetime & beyond. If you would like your photos to be a relaxed and fun affair, with a balance of timeless imagery and unposed moments contact us today to check availability.
