Winter Walk

We had a short snap of cold weather last week, which was perfect to get out and walk in. Saturday was really crisp and bright, with the kind of light you rarely see in west of Ireland winters, while a freezing fog hung around for quite a while on Sunday morning, to give quite a different, diffused, desaturated effect.

Yvonne & Richie

Yvonne has been waiting patiently to see some pictures from her wedding - almost as patiently as everyone waited for her and Richie to walk up the aisle! When they did though, they did it in style. So I'll post a few extra of this one. Look out for the filmmaker's Hitchcock-like appearance late on. The revellry took place in the Clontarf Castle Hotel and lasted well into the early hours.

Nicola & JJ

Nicola and JJ got married recently in St Mel's Cathedral in Longford. It was another day of non-stop driving rain, but as we've learnt to this year, we made the most of the day indoors back at the Shannon Keywest Hotel.

Joe & Catherine

I first met Joe when he was a little fella in short trousers running around with my little brother, so it was extra-special to photograph his wedding recently in Delvin and the Mullingar Park Hotel. He married a beautiful bride in Catherine; but being the true farmer, his head was still turned by a fine-looking tractor.

Orla & Ken

We've been friends with Orla for years, and we met Ken when they came back from New Zealand. It was a pleasure to photograph their wedding as well as being guests. The ceremony and reception were held in the beautiful Ballybeg House in the Wicklow Hills. The weather held up, the band were great, and Uncle Ernie was in fine voice. The camera was left behind for the following day's barbeque.
