SILVER TASSIE WEDDING, LETTERKENNY : MAIREAD + DAVID

Posted inWeddings

Even the rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of Mairead and David on their wedding day. They were both beaming with happiness and throughout the day it was amazing to capture some beautiful images of them as they enjoyed thier wedding day!

After their service we visited Learmount for their creative shoot and having Marryokes along for the ride only added to the fun of the shoot and the day.

On arrival at the Silver Tassie, a photobooth gave the couple and their relatives yet another chance to fool around and have some hilarious pictures to remember the day by. The fun was never-ending and it was safe to say that everyone was in a cheery mood during Mairead and David’s super fun wedding day!

This photo would melt your heart.

Mairead looked stunning!

David cut a dashing figure!

Cuteness!

How happy do these guys look:)

I caught this image of Mairead and David checking out the photo booth – how fun!

DREAMS OF SUSHI + PHOTOGRAPHY

Posted inPhotography

Last week I was in Mexico shooting the wedding of Aisling and John Barry. I knew it would be a long flight so made sure I had plenty of films on my iPad to keep me entertained!

A documentary that really stood out to me was ‘Dreams of Sushi’.  It told the inspiring story of an eighty-five year old Japanese man who has dedicated his life to perfecting his craft of making the perfect sushi. While he has being doing it for a lifetime, he still strives to find fresh approaches to his work and to improving his craft.

Even though I hate fish (I like looking at them when scuba diving), the sushi looked mouthwatering!

I think there’s a valuable lesson for us all there as it demonstrates how important it is to perfect your craft, to keep learning and stay passionate. I hope I’m still taking photos at the age of 85!

Check out the trailer for Dreams of Sushi:

GRAN CARIBE REAL CANCUN DESTINATION ENGAGEMENT : AISLING + JOHN BARRY

Posted inEngagements

I flew to Cancun a couple of days ago for a gorgeous destination wedding tomorrow at Gran Caribe Real.

Aisling and John Barry have eloped and so it’ll just be the two of them, which is going to be really special.

This evening we hit the beach for twenty minutes to shoot a mini engagement session (you can check out their original engagement session here) and I thought I would share the images with you.

I love this image so much!

VICTORIA SQUARE ENGAGEMENT, BELFAST : VICTORIA + STEVEN

Posted inEngagements

Victoria and Steven booked me to capture thier wedding day a few years ago so I was looking forward to catching-up with them in advance of their wedding next month for a pre-wedding shoot.

We met at Victoria Square in the heart of Belfast City Centre and the heaven’s opened. Ducking for cover and using Victoria Square as respite from the rain we got some great images, even popping into Urban Outfitters at one point.

Really looking forward to capturing this very cool couples wedding at Crawfordsburn Country Inn soon.

To see more of Victoria and Steven’s engagement shoot check out the slideshow below!

FAQ – BRIDAL POSING TIPS

Posted inPhotography

I recently had a question on Facebook from Amanda McLaughlin. She explained: “Can you please tell me to pose for photographs!! I am a bridesmaid next week and take TERRIBLE pictures!”

I was on a shoot the other day for Local Women Magazine and had a chance to do a video response.

The model is Lisa McDevitt, the dress is by Beautiful Day Bridal Cottage and the gorgeous bouquet is by Garden Vogue Florists.

If you have a question you would like answered drop me a line and hopefully I can help.
