Capturing those little moments that last a lifetime……what more can I say 🙂

wedding kiss
Most couples pray for the sun on their wedding day, it lifts the spirits, means people can drink “al fresco” and puts everyone in good form……apart from your wedding photographer !!! Strong sun can be much harder to manage than bad weather, people squinting, strong shadows, bleached colours etc….luckily, most professional photographers can handle these conditions. Whereas a dull overcast day, with some cloud detail would be perfect for photos, you can use the sun to your advantage. Recently I was back in the stunning Trudder Lodge for the wedding of Neasa & PJ and the sun was blazing. Using the right angles, and of course the fab location, we were able to capture the image below, and although I’m not normally a fan of bright & bold colours I think this works really well.
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.
Sometimes things just come together, the light, the location, the couple. Was walking to a vantage point for a few pics of Deirdre & John and peered through the trees to see them sneak a kiss and the sun popped out to give them a nice backlight.
