Kilshane House | Louise & David's Summer wedding

Kilshane House, Co. Tipperary was the reception venue for Louise & David’s wedding day. As you might see in the wedding pics, this day was sunny and fun filled. Louise and David are a perfect match…easy going and fun-lovin. They were a pleasure to be with all day and I loved every minute of my work that day!!

If I tried I couldn’t take a bad photo of these guys. With the help of the sun and a lovely setting, we managed to get a beautiful set of images that I hope gives a sense of the atmosphere we enjoyed all day.

The staff at Kilshane House were just amazing and made my job easier. This venue is just beautiful. There just wasn’t enough hours in the day to make the most of the many photo ops.

Between the ceremony and the reception meal, as the crowd mingled on the beautiful grounds around the front of the house, David surprised

My beautiful bride and groom managed to balance the time nicely between making the most of the venue and keeping the party going with the many guests. When the sun was finally setting on this great day we managed to get some lovely sunset pics and then to cap it all off we had an amazing fireworks display over the grounds.

Here’ just a small selection of the images from this great wedding….

Rathsallagh House | Aidan & Lorraine's Wedding Day

Aidan & Lorraine’s celebrated their wedding day recently at the wonderful Rathsallagh House Co. Wicklow. The sun was shining and everything ran according to plan for Lorraine as she prepared for the biggest day of her life. Rathsallagh house is such a beautiful venue to get married. Every last detail is checked by the lovely staff.

Aidan’s preparations consisted of fixing his tie in the pub!!. He and the groomsmen had enough time to nip down to the local for a one or two pints of Guinness, and that can be the hardest part of my job…looking at the lads enjoying a few nice jars.

Pippa their faithful dog made an appearance at the church and again at the reception afterwards. He got great milage out of all the guests who took the time to throw his tennis ball for him.

The day ended under the lights of the great Oak tree at the back of the House. Just like the entire day, without fuss and full of the joys of life.

Here’s just a small selection of the photos from that wonderful wedding.

Castleknock Hotel | Priscila & Robert's wedding day...

Priscila & Robert’s wedding in the Castleknock Hotel in Dublin recently was a truly international affair. Priscila moved to Ireland a few years ago from Brazil where she met the love of her life, Robert (from Co. Monaghan).

Their wonderful wedding had family and friends from Brazil in great numbers. There were friends from everywhere from South America to Europe, all mingling and merging into one happy family to celebrate their wedding in Dublin.

Priscila’s family had little or no English but we all managed to communicate nicely and even shared a lot of laughs during the morning preparations and long in to the day and night.

The venue was perfect and the sun shone on us. Everything went perfectly and both Robert & Priscila were the relaxed and full of energy at the same time…which made my job easy!!

Here’s a small selection of the many photos from their big day.

Thanks for stopping by.

The Midlands Park Hotel | Megan & Ray's wedding day...

Megan & Ray’s wedding day began in the most relaxed way. Everyone was so chilled I worried we might be way behind getting to the church on time! Not a bit, as it turned out everything ran like clockwork.

The sun shone and Fr. Paddy’s ceremony was short and sweet. After the mass in the lovely chapel in the Heath, we had time to go to the lake for a few pics followed by a quick trip up to the epic ruin of Dunamase Castle just outside Portlaoise.

Afterwards we went to join the rest of the guests at the reception in the Midlands Park Hotel Portlaoise (https://www.midlandsparkhotel.com/) where the fun really began.

We carried on the party all evening and even managed a few lovely night shots after I got lots of pics on the dance floor as things got funny very quickly!!!

Here’s just a small selection, hope you enjoy…

The Heritage Hotel, Killenard | Edel & Paddy's wedding day...

The Heritage Hotel, Killenard, Co. Laois was the reception venue for Edel & Paddy's wedding day. This beautiful Winter wedding was flawless for the happy couple. The weather was beautiful and calm. The ceremony in the lovely church was intimate. The photographs we managed to get in Emo Court Co. Laois were amazing.

Edel was the most amazing bride and her calm and grace set the tone for the day. Paddy was full of fun and charm, constantly injecting fun and craic in the proceedings.

The most challenging part of the day was trying to photograph over 200 guests on the large staircase in the Heritage Hotel in Killenard, Co. Laois. I’ve had the luxury of taking photos at this lovely venue many times now so I was up for the challenge. The main thing is to keep it fun and keep the crowd amused if at all possible!!

That evening I noticed the hotel had a small cinema just off the reception so we made great use of it for a few photos. The kids at the wedding along with Paddy & Edel had fun making memorable fun photos thanks to the staff of the hotel who kindly provided popcorn and drinks!!

Here’s a small selection of the images we made that day…

Horetown House | Nicole & Andrew's wedding day...

Horetown House, Co. Wexford was the reception venue for Nicole & Andrew’s wedding day. As you might see in the wedding pics, this day was sunny and fun filled. Nicole is one of those rare people who lights the room when she enters. She is a joy to be with and Andrew is just the perfect match. He carried himself with such charm and fun too.

If I tried I couldn’t take a bad photo of these guys. With the help of the sun and a lovely setting, we managed to get a beautiful set of images that I hope gives a sense of the atmosphere we enjoyed all day.

The staff at Horetown House were just amazing and made my job easier. Working alongside Brendan Brophy Videography we had great craic all day…work should be like this everyday!!

Newpark Hotel, Kilkenny | June Byrne & Darren Strong wedding...

June & Darren’s wedding day was a joy to photograph. June is a really well known hair stylist in Portlaoise, Co. Laois and Darren is a well known footballer and business owner who plays for his County Laois, and his local club Emo. So you can imagine the large crowd in attendance.

This Autumnal wedding was really beautiful as the sun shone and the weather was nice and calm all day.

We even managed to bring their beloved Bernese mountain dog to get into some of the photos in Emo Court between the ceremony in Emo church and the reception at https://www.newparkhotelkilkenny.com/ in Kilkenny.

Barberstown Castle Wedding | Joanne & Micheal wedding day…

What a day!! Micheal Cushen and Joanne Scott’s wonderful wedding day started in lovely sunshine at Joanne’s home place in Ballyfin, Co. Laois. Joanne’s family made me feel so welcome and at ease straight away. I knew we were in for a great day. Myself and Kevin the Videographer (https://littlebear.ie/) had a really nice relaxing working day with this beautiful couple.

After the ceremony in Mountmellick Church we made our way to the beautiful grounds of https://www.barberstowncastle.ie/. in Co. Kildare. All day the sun shone and we managed to get some cracking images in the and around the grounds of this lovely venue.

Here’s just a small selection of the photos from there lovely wedding day…

Ballintubbert House and Gardens | Eimear & Mark's wedding day...

I absolutely love this venue!! So when Mark & Eimear asked me to capture the photographs for their wedding here I was delighted.

Mark & Eimear both work in the Bloodstock industry and the horse racing community came out in force to celebrate with them in the beautiful setting of Ballintubbert House & Gardens (http://www.ballintubbert.com/).

As the sun shone down on the gleaming Bentley’s parked outside the Old house, I had to remind myself that I was still in Co. Laois.

Everything went so smoothly and when the ceremony started everyone made their way to the beautiful Fountain garden at the back of the house.

We took loads of amazing photographs all over the grounds before the happy couple took the party late into the night.

Here’s just a sample of some of the photos…
