I could blog all day about Gemma and Kevin’s wedding. But I think this time I will let the pictures speak for themselves. I just want to say that the combination of the glorious sun and a beautiful relaxed bride made for a great day. Gemma you really are gorgeous! A big thanks to your mum for feeding me homemade soup and brown bread when I should have been working. Gotta love Irish mums!

Church: Portlaoise Parish, Co. Laois

Venue: Castle Durrow, Co.Laois

First up, a warm welcome from Gemma’s mum (actually I wasn’t given a choice, the food was placed in front of me and I was told to sit and eat, I could hardly be rude now could I?!). Yummy!

Thank you Gemma and Kevin for a fabulous day!

A few months back I posted photos of Arianna’s maternity session. On the 17th of December Vivienne was born. She arrived a bit earlier than expected which Arianna and Morne are thankful for as they were able to relax on Christmas. She is a beautiful little bundle. I had the pleasure of doing her first portrait session a couple weeks ago. Vivienne is not yet on a schedule. In fact she resists taking naps in case she misses out on anything and gets a bit grumpy if she is not being held. There was a lot of patience involved on that day but for a few minutes we managed to get her to sleep before she quickly woke to the sound of a clicking camera. Still, she is a doll! Congrats to Arianna and Morne for creating such a gorgeous little thing for me to photograph.

A few of my photos from our photowalk in Trim just over a week ago. As Christina said, when she posted her photos, it was a great day where we got to meet a good bunch of people and have a laugh. It was Baltic cold, but that’s a minor complaint.  The photos below are in the order they were taken on the day. First up is the view through the keyhole at Trim Castle. Happy I got it but happier with some of the other shots…

Christina will be back with you on Thurday!

Thanks,

Colin

While we were visiting Dingle one weekend I had the pleasure of photographing my sister-in-law Orla. It was just for a bit of fun. There are so many great places to photograph in that part of the country. It was great to have a model that I knew, which made the whole shoot more relaxing. The great thing was that Orla was up for any idea that I had and wasn’t embarrassed to be seen doing any of the strange things I asked. We spent the day driving until we spotted somewhere on the side of the road and popped out of the car for a few snaps (having Colin as a chauffeur was great!). I’d love to do all my portrait sessions like that. Popping in and out of the car at various locations gives you a real buzz and makes the whole experience more enjoyable and funny enough more relaxing. I’ve been trying to encourage my brides and grooms to do the same thing when they have a long drive from the ceremony to the reception. I follow behind them in my car and if we see somewhere that would make a great shot we pull over for a few snaps. I’ve gotten some of my favourite shots that way. Anyways enough of my rambling and on to the photos.

Thanks Orla for a fun day!

Colin and I went on our first photowalk last weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed it. This month’s walk was to Trim Castle. For anyone interested in photography I recommend joining a photowalk. You don’t have to be a professional, you just need an interest in taking photos. We met a bunch of great people, had some good laughs and talked lots of technical geekery. Overall it was a superb day out, a bit cold, but superb. Here are a few of my shots from the day. Look out for Colin’s blog post coming soon.

Thanks to our fellow photowalkers for making our first photowalk a great experiance!
