Portrait of Ethan

Hi Folks,

Just going through of my recent favourite portraits and I wanted to share this one.

Ethan is a friend of my son (Alex) and for Christmas we thought we’d surprise his mummy with a portrait…

So in he came… like a hurricane/tazmanian devil…..! Managed to get one good shot and this was it.

Band Photoshoot… The Conquerors…

The Conquerors

One of our latest projects has been a Band Photoshoot for the Conquerors… (link)

I shot individual photographs of each band member and they were compositied together and the background added in.

As well as the main image we also did individual portraits of each band member.

Classy portraits for a classy band!

Shane and Edel Winter Wedding 2009

Shane and Edel got married on the 11th of December 2009 in St. Peters Church, Athlone.

The weather was fantastic for a winter in Ireland – crisp, clear and not too cold! The bride did have an antique fur coat to keep her warm though. The bridemaids didn’t have that luxury so a few hot brandy’s were called for!

We had the opportunity to take some picture in the castle in Athlone (over the road from Church) and we got some lovely pictures in there.

Edel’s dress, veiled head piece and coat was a great combination of classic and modern all in one and worked really well together…

Anway… see for yourself……

Winter Wonderland….

wp_winter09_0073

Killinure Lake had frozen over… I estimate around 4 inches thick…. It was the morning after freezing fog at -8C and a deep frost was on every branch of every tree… It was as if one giant white spray can had been used on the land…

I went out to the Wineport Lodge and walked out onto the Jetty. The jetty was frozen in the ice and wasn’t moving! It was dead quiet except for the occasional ‘ping’ of the ice moving/cracking on the lake.

Beautiful clear day… if only someone were getting married, what day to remember!

I took quite a few pictures before I got too cold and below are a few of my favourite that’s I’ve processed so far…

Niall and Karen Wedding – Wineport Lodge Glasson

I always love to do wedding at the Wineport. Not only is it my ‘local’ but I always find that weddings there are always relaxed and good fun.

Niall and Karen’s wedding was no exception. Everyone was getting ready in the Wineport so I was there around 2 hours before. Every thing was under control, no panics, no mad rush. I got my initial details shots done really quickly and even had time to pop out to see the groomsmen leave the Wineport before going to the the pub.

The local Church, Drumraney, was the host for the ceremony and was done out really well with lots of little candles all over the altar area.

The party then headed back to the Wineport where everyone got out of the breeze and enjoyed the wonderful Wineport hospitality.

The bride and groom braved the cool breeze and went out on the jetty. We got a few more shots in and around the grounds. Again, very relaxed couple!

A few more shots of the guests and family and it was done.

Fab day..

Miriam and Iomair Get Married in Kildare

Miriam and Iomair Treacy had their wedding Leixslip with the reception and the lovely Barberstown Castle.

Treacy Heffernan Wedding 12

Despite the poor weather the day before the day itself was fantastic.

Both the bride and groom were great to work with – very easy going and made my job that little bit easier.

It was my first time at Barberstown and it was a pleasure to work there. The staff were friendly and helpful. The grounds were gorgeous. I could easily have spent the day taking photographs!

Pet Portrait!

Peter, Sandra and Dog Child, Pearly were in the studio recently for a family portrait.

Pearly was a gorgeous Dachshund and she was the perfect ‘model’. They were all great fun and we really enjoyed their visit
