Happy Christmas
Tuesday, December 22 2009 | in For Brides, Wedding Photographs
|
Today is my last day in the studio before I break up for Christmas. I do have three more weddings to shoot here in Ireland before the year is out, but after that I will be able to put my feet up and relax over the holiday season. Fingers crossed that we don’t get any more snow overnight, as it has been pretty cold of late!!
I will be back in the studio on 5th January, and won’t have access to email or phone until then. I would like to wish all the readers of this blog a fantastic Christmas and New Year. I’ll be posting some images from my Christmas weddings in the New Year. In the meantime, please enjoy a little slideshow of my favourite moments from my 2009 weddings. |

Caroline did super well. I’m glad to say Mum and baby are resting comfortably tonight and we’re grateful for the wonderful care from Dr Eastwood, Sandra and all the staff at Antrim Area Hospital. |

Belfast and Clandeboye Wedding | Sarah & Tom
Tuesday, December 1 2009 | in For Brides, Wedding Photographs
|
I thought I’d post some images from Sarah and Tom’s fabulous 28th November wedding just before our new baby arrives.
American fine art photographer Joel Meyerowitz has spoken about the opportunities a photographer has when working with chance, time and speed. Like Joel, for me, my photographs are all about instantaneity. I consider I have a machine that chips away at time – a thousandth of a second here, a 250th of a second there. These moments come and go in the blink of an eye. Although it was a crisp bright day for Sarah and Tom’s wedding, the natural indoor light was pretty low and faded early, as is customary at this time of year. The atmosphere was amazing though with low light, candles and the intimacy of the venues all playing their part in a really lovely winter wedding. Again, in order to keep the integrity of the pictures, no flash was used throughout the day – just great glass, speed of thought and fluid reactions to everything happening. Here are some of my personal favourites as I continue with the editing: |

Life Squared
Monday, November 30 2009 | in Personal

I’ve been busy – busy with work and busy with life. If you ring me, chances are we’ll be speaking via my iPhone. It’s never too far away – I just love it. All my contacts are on there, it has a handy mapping app that enables me to find pretty much anywhere and I can instantly check in my calendar if I have a date available. The iPhone camera isn’t much cop though. However, a couple of weeks ago I downloaded the shakeit photo app. It’s the best fun I’ve had in ages – it takes digital Polaroids (Fauxlaroids) and it reminds me of the real Polaroid camera I picked up way back in 1996. I can’t wait to try it out on baby when he/she lands in! What follows is a few highlights of my life and work all shot on the iPhone. BTW if anyone wants me to photograph their wedding exclusively with the iPhone please contact me! cheers

Ballygalley Castle Wedding | Lauren and Jamie
Tuesday, November 17 2009 | in For Brides, Wedding Photographs
|
Lauren and Jamie had me photograph their wedding up at Ballyeaston and Ballygally Castle, County Antrim last Saturday. They were in such good spirits all day. Lauren looked simply stunning as did her three bridesmaids. The great sense of nervous excitement at the house in the morning must have been lovely for Lauren’s Mum and Dad, Sandra and Trevor to witness and be part of and I’m sure Trevor must have been a very proud man then leading her up the aisle.
Weddings bring together all of the friends and family in one place and it was such a pleasure for me to also be part of their big day. The evening speeches were amongst the funniest I’ve heard all year. Here are some of my favourite photographs from the day: |

Lissanoure Castle Wedding Photography | Georgina & Simon
Sunday, November 8 2009 | in For Brides, Wedding Photographs
|
The last of my October weddings saw me up at the beautiful old All Saints church in Loughguile and Lissanoure, County Antrim for Georgina and Simon’s wedding.
Georgie and Simon were just lovely to work with. Lots of their friends and family travelled over from Britain for the wedding and I’d like to thank everyone for such good good fun. Particularly the Rev John Bach for officiating such a beautiful ceremony. The evening jigs were amazing! Throughout the day the autumnal light was very low and pretty much to be expected for this time of year in Northern Ireland. However, this is the sort of environment I thrive in – I just love shooting autumn and winter weddings. Many photographers resort to the vulgarity and intrusiveness of flash – but, if you use the available light correctly, the pictures can be wonderful. Here are some of my personal favourites: |
