On Saturday I had the pleasure of hanging with Jayne and Neil for their wedding in Ballycotton. We were blessed with lovely weather, and delighted to show off Ballycotton at its best to Jayne and Neil’s guests, many of whom were over from the UK. The day started with a cricket match on Ballnamona strand, and ended with an almighty party at the Bayview Hotel in Ballycotton. Here’s some photos from the day. Enjoy!

It’s late, so not too many words. Just have to say had a great fun today with Ruth and Will at the Honan in UCC and the Imperial in Cork. Took some great photos, and really had a laugh. This one’s in the “stoney corridor” (I’m sure it has a real name, but that’s pretty appropriate!). Ruth and Will were fantastic. I’ll have some more photos up tomorrow.

On Saturday I got to hang out with Sarah and Ed, which was an adventure that included angel wings, a broken down 60’s Merc, Blue Steel, a swing in a penthouse suite and torential, relentless rain! It was a fun day despite what was bucketing down, and we did manage to get out on the penthouse balcony at the Clarion hotel in Cork, as the rain held off for just a few minutes. Sarah and Ed were really relaxed and fun, and it was a pleasure to photograph their special day. A few more pics in this slideshow - watch out for Blue Steel …

Met Sharon and Pascal in Conna yesterday, and had a wonderful day. This photo is at Conna castle. I had been up there earlier in the day for a look, and knew straight away that it was a dream spot for a shot, with the yellow and green landscape and dramatic sky. Add in a stunning couple and we’ve got a winner! Had a great day with Sharon and Pascal. They were lovely, fun people and their guests were great. From the beautiful church and castle we went on to Barnabrow House, not far from where I live, and where Eilish and I held out own wedding reception a few years ago. It’s a beautiful and different venue, and in an idyllic setting. Sharon and Pascal showed Pascal’s French family Ireland at its best! Bet the party was rockin’ too!

Been taking me a while to get the post processing finished on this wedding. Nearly there now! Some great shots, taken on another beautiful Irish summers day (can I really say that?!). Love the Bunratty ones, but also love the preparation shots taken at home, like the one above. Slideshow below, enjoy!

It’s been a busy few weeks, and I have just finished post processing Cheryl and Paul’s wedding from back on May 8th. The disc will be in the post later this morning. Meantime, here’s a preview of some of the photos of the day.

Johanna & Adrian, Bunratty, Co. Clare
I have been a bit tardy about posting wedding photos of late - apologies to all! Last weekend I was in Charleville and then Bunratty last Saturday with Adrian and Johanna for their wedding. Actually it was Effin, which is in Limerick, but is only a few miles from Charleville. It is a beautiful part of the country, although the chances of my ever finding Effin without a map are remote!
Saturday saw the start of the Irish summer, with temperatures climbing into the high 20’s C - a rare anomaly! It was much the same on Sunday. Stunning! From Effin we headed to Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, and wandered around the old village for some great photographs. The photograph above is one we took on our way out, after the school house, the Main St. and the Castle. The blue of the house and the red door really caught my eye, and we grabbed a quick snap.
On the day I worked with Declan Gleeson from S.E.S. Digital, who was shooting the video. He was fun to work with, and had some great tips around Bunratty - thanks Declan!
We headed across the road from the folk park to the Bunratty Castle Hotel for some final group shots and some casual mingling. In all a great day, really enjoyed it 
More photos to follow sometime soon …!

Cheryl and Paul got hitched on Saturday just gone in St. Michaels church in Whites Cross, and then on to Rochestown Park Hotel for a helluva party. On the way from the church to the hotel we stopped in to Inishmore Retreat Center in Mayfield (just beside the Garda station). The gardens were stunning, and we had a lovely wander round. Took some great photos there, and gave Cheryl and Paul a bit of time to relax and be together away from the crowds! We didn’t hang around too long though - the hotel, the pals and the party were waiting!
I’ll post some more photos from the day soon
