LET'S DO THIS !!!!

This post is dedicated to Amy (and her mum) whose wedding I will be shooting in the Autumn of 2014. Amy told me all about her parent's wedding, just a few years ago, a day when her father sailed on his road bike to the church to meet his bride, bedecked in demin and leather surrounded by a Hell's Angels-grade entourage. The story was amazing, and so inspirational, given the times and given the attitudes of the church at the time, they definately were trailblazers. I love it, I love the unconventional, the daring and the DIY spirit.

This photo was taken a good few years back, at Portstewart Strand of my good friend Emma. She was soon to part with her beloved steed so we decided a 'Rock The Dress' photoshoot on the beach would be a fitting farewell. Emma, in full bridal, rode from Portrush to Portstewart in a busy afternoon, stopping traffic and attracting so much attention. It was a heroic performance, and such craic. I'm certainly looking forward to a few moments of madness in 2013 and 2014, to pushing the limits and allowing creativity and fun to triumph. Let's do this!

DONEGAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY - JOHN AND SUZANNE - THE RED DOOR, FAHAN

Having been good friends with John and Suzanne for a long time the thought of capturing their historical day had me full of excitement for a long time and when the day arrived it became a true priviledge. It was a beautiful experience on so many levels. I was introduced to so many of characters from theirs lives and shared the many emotions of the day through my lens. The ceremony at the Red Door was intimate and full of splendour – the sun rays shone through the conservatory windows onto the happy faces of friends and family . In the short period of pre-sunset time we had at the beach we got so busy and had so much fun. We spent the evening in the cosy surroundings, often nipping out for photos then returning for fireside stout and good cheer. I hope you enjoy this small sprinkling of their joyful day……

"....I can't wait to see my wedding photos...."

 I thought I'd share some photos from my own wedding day and perhaps a few thoughts on seeking my own wedding photographer.
First of all - I am a wedding photographer, but more importantly to me I am a passionate pleasure photographer - I spend my weekend shooting photos, capturing moments and landscapes, trying out new gear and experimenting. Given this, it was obvious to me and my wife (who was my cheif photographic assistant waaay back!) that hiring an amazing photographer to shoot our wedding day was to be the priority, and then trying to achieve a wedding event that was not only very personal but as original and fun as our brain/ cash power could manage. It took a while to find a good fit for us - a professional with not only the skills and the portfolio to impress but with the personality that it would make it a pleasure to spend a wedding day with. We chose Leo and Kirsty - a super twosome from Cornwall to spend our day with. Photograph-wise the experience was phenominal - we had so much fun, we courted like teenagers, we pushed the limits of what we thought we would do. We all got equally wet and covered in sand!
 The feeling of receiving our wedding photos to look at was simply beautiful. A small selection of
them are in the slideshow below. These and more will fill our wedding album; a book of sheer joy and a document of not only our day, but our lives as a young couple. I hope you enjoy these few minutes of our wedding experience........
