Received a lovely card in the post the other day from Maggi & Bobby whose wedding I had the pleasure to shoot back in August 2014. Had a great day heading out to Moycullen and then on into Galway City for the ceremony and the heavy rain didn’t dampen any spirits. Added enjoyment on the day was meeting up again with Pat from Getaway Cars, and of course the lovely meal in the Galway Bay hotel (in the company of Andrew Davey Videography) – staying for the first dances sometimes has a bonus 🙂 . The card reads as follows :

Kevin, we couldn’t be happier with our pictures, we show them to everyone, I will be recommending you to many more brides. Your pictures are the the Galway Now March edition and they came out lovely in the magazine too. Thanks for everything. Delighted to have such beautiful pictures of our wedding. Love Maggi & Bobby.

Hopefully you will enjoy the pics below which give a little idea of how happy the day was.

Although my most popular package is still my digital package, I always recommend couples to come back to me at some stage to organize a wedding album. From storybook to slightly more traditional and hand assembled bespoke albums there are styles and tastes to suit all budgets. Yes, the albums can be expensive, but they should be !! When making an investment you want to ensure that the quality of both the album and the printing stands the test of time. This is not just for a wedding couple, but for their children & grandchildren down through the years.

Remember cassette tapes ? Well DVDs could be heading down the obsolete road soon, and although I provide USB keys, how long will it be till they become outdated ? What doesn’t become obsolete or go out of style ?? Photographs ! With a high quality wedding album you have a tangible object which can be handed down through generations for years and dragged out on special occasions (anniversaries, childrens weddings etc..) even if it’s just to laugh at the fashions & hairstyles !!!

You won’t regret investing in an album, but you may regret not doing so. See below for a storybook layout of a recent wedding 🙂

The end of February saw me packing my bags and heading down to Clare for Niamh & Pauls wedding. This was a wedding with a difference as the ceremony was not till 3pm so, we did the bridal party shots before the wedding, and before the wind & rain !! It was such a lovely & relaxed affair and made my job on the day an absolute joy 🙂 – check out the photos below for a small sample of the day….and what about Niamhs stunning shoes !!

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 🙂

At my age birthdays are not greeted with anticipation, valentines are not forthcoming 🙁 and, apart from junk mail, all that ever lands through my postbox are bills, bills, and more bills !! You can imagine my delight when I received a lovely card from Camilla & Dave whose wedding I shot last summer – yes, an actual card, with real writing etc…:) – I was however more excited when I read what was on the card.

“Kevin, thank you so much for the beautiful photos which you captured on the day of our wedding. We were absolutely thrilled with them. It was a pleasure to work with you on the day and we will treasure our photos always. We’ill be in touch in the future about an album. Camilla & David”

To be a wedding photographer you have to love your job, the days are soo exciting, all facets of human emotion are visible, and hopefully captured, but after the hustle & bustle of the day come the hours & hours of processing, tweaking, backups, designing etc., all done in a solitary capacity, followed by the nervous anticipation when you send out the images. So, when a couple take time out of their busy lives to say thanks it’s a thrill and it helps to keep your head in the game.

Not that I had much trouble at Camilla & Daves wedding, a glorious sunny day, a lovely couple (whom I had met at previous weddings), familiar faces within the guests, the fab surroundings of Moyvalley & Balyna House….and to top it off, an ice cream van !!
