Carton House Wedding Album – Paul & Lynne

Just posting a small selection ofimages of Paul & Lynne’s  actual wedding album which came in from Queensberry last week.

It had a black leather cover with white ivory matted pages.

As always the standard and quality of Queensberry’s  albums was excellent.  It’s great to see my clients’ reactions upon seeing their album.

The images always look better when you see them for the first time as real prints in a beautiful album. The colours and black and whites are punchy and pleasing to the eye.  The album’s feel and aroma are luxurious. This is how it should be :-)

I love the last image in the album which you can see in the last image below. It’s what I call my  “fade out”  image. As photographers we must tell a story, and so the story should flow and make sense.

Lynne’s dress was a Pronovias dress from BCouture

Wedding The Brehon – Margaret & Jonathan

Margaret & Jonathan are still on their honeymoon in Asia so it is nice for them and their family/friends to see this blog posting now. I have already put an album design together for them for a bit of inspiration. It will help them with their final wedding album design.  :-)

I love the subtle colour of the wall in the portraits of Margaret. I took these initial shots in the kitchen of Margaret & Jonathan’s home

I rarely shoot weddings in Kerry, but when asked it’s lovely to go back. Ceremony took place at the majestic St Mary’s Cathedral in Killarney Co Kerry. Reception was the  The Brehon Hotel.

We had to dodge a shower or two and a plethora of tourists but I had plenty of umbrellas which was a godsend  -  for the rain not the tourists!:-)

Just in case you’re interested, some of the people who helped bring the wedding together are mentioned below:

Margaret’s amazing dress was a Manual Mota, Kathy de Stafford. The bridesmaids dresses were Jim Hjelm from Aphrodite Bridal. Flowers were by Carrie O’Connor of Best of Buds,  The Spa, Tralee. Hair was by Pat O’Neill of The Style Suite at the Brehon Hotel. Make up was by Louise O’Connell of Lir Beauty. Oh and the cake was by Anne Marie Smullen, Lillies & Pearls.

Equestrian Photography – Laura, Bob & Biggles aka The Flying Horse

Hey. Here are some images of Laura & Bob + Biggles from a recent equestrian lifestyle shoot.

Biggles is Laura’s horse but she brought along the other man in her life for company :-)

I  decided to keep most of images in black and white as it suited the environment we were in.

No restrictions on this beach so at the end of the shoot Laura stepped on the gas. :-) I love the set of images of her racing along.
