I always like visiting new venues and was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived at Ashley Park House for the first time. Such a wonderful lakeside venue which matched Martina & Steves retro vibe so well. I had met Martina & Steve a couple of times, firstly over coffee and then out along the beach for an engagement shoot so I knew that it was going to be a very relaxed affair. From the preps in the blink and you miss them Lough Derg Cottages in Puckaun, right up to the dancing, the whole thing was stress free and quite informal, and we even got a few shots between the speeches and dancing, just before the rain started. Have a look through the images below, hopefully they capture the vibe and atmosphere of the day.

I had the pleasure of shooting Louise & Patricks big day down in Limerick during May – and what a day it was !! The weather was great, the hotel looked stunning and the gardens were immaculate, but most of all such a lovely couple. Louise, Patrick and their families and friends were every photographers dream, relaxed, welcoming, a good bit of craic and so many laughs – the big belly laughs as well !!. Even though it was a long day it flew, from start to finish it was such a pleasure and I felt more like a guest than the photographer. Their ideas on photography were totally in line with mine, relaxed and unforced and we even got to fit in a quick walk down to the banks of the Shannon for some sunset shots. I was delighted when I heard back from Louise & Patrick after they received their photos which finished off everything nicely.

“Wow, what can I say. Just received our photos and they are amazing. Over the moon Kevin we cannot thank you enough you really did a top notch job. Beyond delighted with them. Thank you so so much x. Louise & Patrick”

What a summer it was, I was so lucky with the happy, fun and relaxed weddings I covered. Always lots of smiles and laughs, topped off with memorable photos of the big day. Jacinta & Joes big day was no exception. They traveled home from Australia to celebrate their day in Banagher and then on to Birr. A quick stop in to the family pub where Jacintha & Joe pulled a few pints and on to blue skies and sunshine in the County Arms Hotel. Lots of laughs, lots of fun, lots of relaxed and informal photos in the lovely grounds and still plenty of time for Jacintha & Joe to mingle with their friends. We even had a few mins to pop outside that night for a few quick photos in the fairy lights & moonlight. If Carlsberg did weddings !!…….

I had a blast photographing Gillian & Michaels wedding last year. It departed from the norm in so many ways. Called out to Gillians first, then back to the lads in Knightsbrook, then back to Gillian and after the preps we had a cute first look, followed by family photos on the lawn of Gillians house. We then headed off to Trim Castle for more family & bridal party photos – and they weren’t even married yet !!!

The few photos at Trim Castle were followed by a trip to the Anglers Rest where they had their marriage ceremony. Then a few final photos up in the Phoenix Park.

Surprisingly enough the day was in no way rushed, the atmosphere was relaxed and so welcoming. I was nearly disappointed when my day was done, but I had, thanks to Gillian & Michael, fallen in love that day. They introduced me to Tim Tams (Aussie Biscuits) and although my waistline wasn’t appreciative, my tastebuds were dancing a jig !!

Always great to get positve feedback “Hi Kevin, thank you so much for the photos – they are absolutely perfect – thanks so much again, Gillian & Michael.

Jenny had been a bridesmaid at a wedding I shot in 2011 so I was delighted that 5 years later she contacted me about shooting her & Ronans wedding. The brief was simple, minimal time posing, maximum time mingling. with such a relaxed & friendly couple, along with slightly mad guests that was never going to be a problem, and we had the backdrop of Bellinter House to work with. The sun shone, the day flew by and before we knew it it was time for the first dance. It is always a pleasure to shoot someones wedding, but there are days when everything just falls perfectly into place – this was one of those. To top it all off I received a lovely thank you note from Jenny & Ronan and I was delighted to hear how happy they were with their photos. Hopefully the few images below will give you an idea of the day.

“Kevin, thank you so much for the amazing job you did on our wedding photographs – we are so delighted with them. Thank you also for being so lovely on the day, you really made it such an easy and relaxed experience for us which was just what we wanted. Best wishes, Jenny & Ronan.”
