small wedding

by

What a wonderful way to start getting back into weddings. Kate & Darren had their intimate celebration at Kilshane House, the weather behaved and we actually had the ceremony down by the lakeshide in the boathouse followed by drinks in the courtyard a the front of the house. I was welcomed with open arms (virtual !!) and really felt part of the day from start to finish. I was delighted when I received some lovely feedback from them both :

“Kevin was the photographer for our wedding in Kilshane House this summer and he was absolutely brilliant. He was so lovely and fun to work with. He was able to blend into the background and capture everybody so beautifully.We have so many candid pictures that we absolutely love. Kevin also took amazing posed pictures and made us feel so relaxed during the process. We have such a lovely mix of posed and candid pictures, our biggest issue is now choosing which ones to add to our album!!! The initial presentation of the photographs was also really lovely. We received a wooden box with ~100 chosen snaps and a matching USB with >1000 other pictures. I would absolutely recommend him to anybody!”

With the current restrictions most weddings these days are smaller, intimate celebrations but no less wonderful.When you have the right venue, good weather and a fab couple it’s amazing what you can achieve in 2 hours.

“Hi Kevin,
We had a look at the photos last night, we absolutely love them!
They are exactly what we wanted, nice and relaxed. The photos taken during the ceremony, we didn’t even notice you and we were delighted to relive it all again ?
The outdoor shots of myself and Niall up the walkway between the trees are amazing!
Thank you one again very much for taking us on such short notice, we really appreciate it. I will defo be recommending you to everyone! Hopefully you have lots more weddings to shoot over the coming months ?
Thanks such
Sarah & Niall “

My last wedding of 2020 was such a great day. Held during Covid restrictions Derrick & Emma were a joy to work with. Not only did they look uber-cool, they didn’t mind the rain or trekking across the city for some great street shots as well as visiting a few hidden gems for a picture perfect afternoon. This day proved that small weddings can be such wonderful days, and also that my home city of Dublin can provide fab backdrops for photos if you know your way around. “We would like Christmas shots, some city shots and most importantly shots with Bonnie (their dog)” – a simple brief made the day a breeze. With the ceremony in the great City Hall we had easy access to a few hidden walks as well as a planned route up towards Stephens Green to take in the lights. Hopefully the shots below can give you an idea of the day and perhaps some inspiration if you are planning a small celebration. Enjoy 🙂

Covid ensured that 2020 was a tough year for all, not least the wedding industry. Lots of couples faced the prospect of postponing their weddings, many faced not one, but two cancellations but through it all, love found a way.

Throughout the latter half of the year there was a dramatic rise in more intimate ceremonies, some with as few as 6, some with 25 and what wonderful celebrations they were.

My last wedding for 2020 was when Emma and Derrick tied the knot in City Hall Dublin, we took a few shots while walking through the city streets and finished off at the Schoolhouse on Northumberland Road where they were having a family meal in lovely surroundings. It was a great way to sign off on a not so great year !!
