From an epic engagement shoot through to the dancing, Sam & Barrys wedding went like a dream. A nice relaxed atmosphere from start to finish and, to top it all off, some lovely words after the happy couple received their photos.

We can’t tell you how pleased we were with our own photos. You helped make the day the most memorable day of our lives. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxed and enjoyable experience with your help. You will be happy to know we spent a number of weeks after we received them showing them off and raving to whoever would listen as to how happy we were with them. Thank you.

Delighted that, in the final heat of the IPPA photographer of the year, I received eight awards, six “Highly Commended” and two hard to achieve “Merits”. These images are judged by my fellow peers and professionals so it means a lot to receive any awards, let alone eight !

One thing you get from experience is being able to anticipate certain moments and trying (and hoping) to be in the right place, at the right time. No chance to do things over, you have to get everything right, composition, exposure, focus etc….when it all clicks (no pun intended) into place you end up with a “moment”. One of the bridesmaids had told me that morning that Sineads Dad wore his heart on his sleeve and not to be surprised if he got emotional, so, when Sinead was ready, I positioned myself at the back of the room behind her, had the camera set up as I wanted (I didn’t want to be bursting out flash) and hoped……..2016-end-of-year-032

Winter weddings are not always dark & damp affairs, very often the days are crisp and, with the early sunsets (and if you know what you are doing !!) you can create wonderful warm images. We had limited time at Lyrath Estate during Eimear & Williams wedding, but, with the sun playing ball, and a bit of know-how, we came up with this shot and I quite like it.

“Dublin can be heaven with a wedding at eleven and a stroll through Stephens Green” – okay – may be the wedding wasn’t quite eleven but we did stroll through Stephens Green and it was heaven for Phil & Chris who couldn’t contain their happiness as they tied the knot in the city registry office. The smiles were infectious and after a quick couple of hours I headed off with a skip in my step. All was made even better when I received a lovely message from the happy couple ” Hi Kevin. We are so absolutely trilled with the quality of your work. The photo presentation box is just beautiful. Some fantastic shots. The movie brought a tear to our eyes. Such a special and emotional day. You are so relaxed in your approach and we felt so comfortable. We will highly recommend you to our friends and family. Thanks again. Phil & Chris.

Sometimes things just fall nicely into place, I had met Fiona & Gary on the run u to the wedding and we clicked straight away, add in a warm welcome on the day, the rain stopping for the afternoon, singing waiters, throw in a cute dog and a disney theme and wrap it up in the fab surroundings of Moyvalley / Balyna House and it was hard to go wrong. Delighted that Fiona & Gary were so happy with their photos :

Hi Kevin

Wow! Thank you so much for the beautiful photos you took. The presentation box and USB were such a nice touch.

I love the photos,  they really captured the love and laughter on the day, they are so expressive. Some of the candid ones are my favourites,  you caught so many moments that I missed on the day. You also caught some lovely moments between myself and Gary and our families.  I’m so happy with them.

You were a pleasure to deal with in the run up to the wedding and especially on the day you were so relaxed and didn’t have us on a clock like I’ve known some photographers to do.

The slideshow was an unexpected addition and I love it thanks so much. Can’t wait to annoy all my friends now and show them and can’t wait to start working on the album.

Thanks so much for your time, your creative eye and your warmth on the day. I would be happy to recommend you to any bride and groom.

Fiona and Gary
