wedding reportage

by

During 2012 I was lucky enough to visit some stunning new venues around the country, revisit familiar venues and was privileged to be a part of, and document, the wedding day of fantastic couples. I am looking forward to more of the same throughout 2013 and hopefully will keep everyone up to date via facebook etc.  See attached gallery for a selection of images from 2012 which, in my opinion, showcase my style of work which is mainly informal & documentary, while still capturing some more classical style (without being over-fussy). This is not a “best –of” nor is it a selection of my favourite images, just a collection of images which take you through from preparations to entrance for the meal. Hope you enjoy.

I never know if its a good or a bad thing to photograph a friends wedding. I needn’t have worried as everything (bar the weather !!) fell nicely into place for Lorna & Eddies wedding on the 05th Jan.

With the ceremony in the stunning St Patricks Church and the reception in the lovely Trim Castle Hotel (just a 5 minute walk away) the afternoon flew and before we knew it the bell was ringing for the meal.

I have a few pics from the day below – just click on the play icon (bottom right) to start the slideshow, and, if you happen to know either Lorna or Eddie feel free to leave a message.

I hadn’t actually met either Louise or Ciaran before their wedding in Mount Wolesley on New Years Eve but I needn’t have worried. Not only were they both incredibly laid back, but we had a huge number of things in common – including the fact that the Ciarans dad used to be my boss way back in my civil service days !!! The day started with torrential rain in Carlow but had dried up before the lovely ceremony in the hotel. We had a quick dash out to the stunning gardens for a few photos then Louise & Ciaran headed back to the hotel in a very trendy golf buggy !! The staff in the hotel couldn’t have done any more to help, so a great day was had by all. I have a few pics below which hopefully capture the atmosphere of the day, just click the play icon on the bottom right to start the slideshow. There is also an option for fullscreen and, if you happen to know Louise, Ciaran (or both!!) feel free to leave a message for them as the will be checking in from time to time.

The stars & stripes were flying outside the peoples church in Clongowes Wood as Anna & Richie travelled over from Chicago for their wedding on a cold & windy (but dry !!) December day. After a lovely ceremony it was off to Kilashee House by way of a vintage (well my age !!) double decker bus to be welcomed warm turf fires and hot scones & cream. I have a few photos below and hopefully you can get an idea of the day. Just hit the play icon on the bottom right and the slideshow should start (there is also an option for fullscreen). If you happen to know either Anna or Richie (or both) feel free to leave a message for them.

It was back down to the Step House Hotel or Nicola & Rays wedding on the 07th December. Borris is fast becoming a “local” for me as I was welcomed by both the church sacristan, and Angela in the Step House by name !! Nicola & her bridesmaids looked stunning and even kept the goosebumps under control despite the cold, but we didn’t stay for photos for long as the blazing fires and mulled wine in the hotel were calling !! With a great couple, welcoming families & friends & fab locations I hope I did the day proud.

Have a look at the slideshow below to check it out for yourself, just click on the play icon (bottom right) to set it off and there is an option for full screen if you wish. Should you know either Nicola or Ray feel free to leave a comment for them.

Sometimes everything just falls nicely into place. This was the case with Joanne & Ciarans wedding. Not only was it a local wedding for me, but everything ran to time and the weather behaved itself (although the goosebumps were starting to show by 4pm !!).

A lovely relaxed day, a wonderful couple, great locations and lovely light….what more could a photographer ask for ?
