A small sample of photography from Jodie and Shannon's wedding in April just gone. This wedding took place in the stunning grounds of Castle Leslie, Glaslough, Co Monaghan.
Jodie and Shannon traveled from Nashville Tennessee to get married in this Fair Isle and honeymoon on the West and South coast. It was a sheer pleasure to photograph their wedding and we wish them the very best for their new life ahead.
I am finally getting around to putting some images of my more recent weddings online as it has been a busy period for the last few months. This particular wedding took place in April in a private venue and was a delight to photograph. I drove from Mayo to Dublin that morning and arrived at the venue for approximately 12:45 to capture the banquet hall as it was magnificently decorated.
Post wedding shoot I drove back to Mayo to partake in "part two" of my girlfriends brothers 50th Birthday celebrations. We do love our job here!.
I have included a few more personal photos of the day in this collection and will include some finer details of the banquet hall at a later stage.
Both Tanja and Julian were so relaxed and it made my job as photographer as easy task to undertake.
As I love B/W & Sepia imagery, my aim was to introduce a timeless feel into the overall shoot by keeping things simple. Oftentimes we are led by fads in photography that will only last a period of time and begin to look dated. Keep it simple and put real effort into the artistic composition of each photograph.
We wish Tanja and Julian the best for their new life together.
It is always a sheer pleasure to photograph weddings, engagement shoots, etc, but it is rare to to be asked to photograph a one year anniversary!. In this regard we responded with pleasure to this request alongside the fact that we the couple were 1) flying over from Memphis, Tennessee, 2) we were only going to meet on the morning of the shoot, 3) they were only going to be in the city for a weekend and, 4) had the good old Irish weather to think about!. Enough to put the average person in a spin?, well no to be honest - a welcome challenge just as every photographic opportunity is given the multitude of items that can happen. What a beautiful morning it turned out to be, the sun shone brightly and with enough heat to photograph the lovely couple comfortably and for them to notice (being from Memphis) that it was actually warm!. As indicated, both Rod and Caitlin were really up for the shoot (It was meant as a surprise for Rod who was told just that morning...). We picked the couple up from the wonderful Clontarf Castle where they were staying, with the intention of photographing in St Annes Park, Raheny and then North Bull Island which is actually a nature reserve.
It is always fantastic to photograph in different areas and our favourite time is early in the morning (9am start for Rod and Caitlin) or late afternoon as the sun is less direct and harsh. We had some fun, tried out some different locations and had some great conversation along the way. We also thank Rod and Caitlin for being an amazing couple to photograph, so made for each other and for being so relaxed the day. One year on and we wish many more to go!.

Rebecca and Aidan's recent engagement shoot and wedding took place within three days of each other as they both traveled from the UK to be married in Howth, Co Dublin, which by all accounts is a beautiful scenic part of County Dublin. The day we undertook the engagement shoot was the first day to meet the lovely couple but this did not stop us from having some fun during the shoot in a place unfamiliar to us all. We decided to photograph the engagement shoot on the fantastic grounds of the Deer Park Hotel and Golf Club, where the couple were staying prior to their wedding.The wedding ceremony itself took place in the Church of the Assumption in Howth. Afterwards the wedding party celebrated with a meal in the Aqua restaurant located on West Pier, Howth. The windy and showery weather was against us throughout but we manage to grab some photos in between the incliment weather.
Here is exactly what the bride sent to me as a testimonial: "We LOVE the photos! Thank you so so much. You have captured every moment perfectly for us and we are delighted with them. There are some fantastic ones too from the engagement shoot!. Thanks once again Aidan; you have made us very happy!!"
We wish Rebecca and Aidan the very best for their future together.
