Chelsea supporters were nearly as much in number as those in Killarney for the Motor Rally of the Lakes. Congratulations to Siobhan and Ralph on their wedding. The showers of rain were all at the right time, as in, during the church and when everybody was back int he comfort of The Killarney Oaks Hotel. I must say it is most deceptive from the outside, very understated as it is a real gem inside, and the staff were all friendly too.

Congratulations to Caitlin and Daniel on their marriage. April showers were about and timing was all in our favour as it was beautiful and sunny for arriving and leaving the church and also dry for photos at Kinsale Harbour and Charles Fort Kinsale before making our way to The Carlton for the reception  and family photos. Special thanks to Michael of Exec Cars and Brian Connolly of Arclight Video who were a joy to work with. Enjoy the honeymoon and I’ll have all your photos ready on your return.

Fab Day for a Wedding, I’m sure Emma and Eugene were told that a thousand times this day! Great to work with Dawn Ryan again she was the make up artist at the house in the morning. The Church was only up the road from me at Ovens and afterwards we headed for the dunes at Inchadoney Island for photos and then back to the gardens at Fernhill House in Clonakilty. If only we had regular spells of this type of great weather it would be great. Congratulations to Emma and Eugene.

Lovely light in the Bride’s family home, perfect for photos and for the make-up artist Caroline Bourke http://www.sorrentobeauty.ie It was my first time photographing a wedding at the Church of St. Finbarr’s South, best known in Cork as The South Parish, and it’s a beautiful church too. As this is a late afternoon winter wedding, all the photographs were taken in darkness. I decided on the areas near the Banks of the Lee over by the Electric Bar with the other St. Finbarrs in the distance. Then a quick hop to Jacobs on the Mall for the wedding reception. Congratulations to Stefane, David and their families. Donagh www.donaghglavin.com See also Jacobs on the Mall

Julie, had a busy house with all the girls being made up by Laura and Sarah for hair. Off to St. Colman’s Cathedral where Fr. O’Mhurchu a friend of the grooms was ready to officiate. The groom Patrick Dwyer is Captain of the All-Ireland Intermediate hurling champions, Ballymartle, and his team mates were hurleys at the ready for the guard of honour. Church signing was by the fabulous Caroline Fraher, and John Mollaghan of Moments Videos has samples of her fine signing voice on his site. As the weather wasn’t great we headed to the Cobh Heritage Centre for a photo shoot, so many thanks to them and it’s well worth a visit on one of the those, ‘what will we do today’ type of days. All events limos whisked the bridal party off to the reception which was being held at the Maryborough Hotel which is always warm and inviting. Congratulations to Julie & Patrick and their families.

Best day of the Summer, hard to believe it’s the end of November! Lovely day for shooting Claire & Colm’s wedding in East Cork. Beautiful music by Carol Keniry and the wedding couple were driven by Aidan Daly of Top Class Limousine, a gentleman and very professional. Fr. Pat Beecher from Dublin, (the brides Uncle) with Fr. Jack Cogan from Mogeely officiated. The timing couldn’t have been better, as we got to Inch beach the sun was setting and it was ideal for our photo session. Off then to the Radisson hotel in Little Island for the banquet and dancing by the band, J-90. Congratulations to Claire & Colm.

It’s hard to believe that a day in November was one of the best days this year for a Wedding Photograper in Cork. A lovely dry day, no wind and beautiful sunshine and a great couple too! It was a busy house as Lynsey O’Leary hair and Elaine O’Callaghan Make-Up were busy doing the finishing touches for the girls. Blarney Limo Hire ferried them to The Honan Chapel and Fr. David McAuliffe was waiting to officiate. Treble Clef provided the music and sung some fab harmonies. We used the grounds at UCC for photos and also headed for Blarney Castle Estate, to catch the Autumn colours in the low sunlight. The Blarney Golf resort was the next stop and I captured plenty candid moments of guests and family before getting a moonlit shot of Sandra & Michael. Congratulations to you both, Donagh.
