Elaine & Matthew's wedding at Islandeady church & Knockranny House Hotel, Westport, Mayo.

Back at St. Patrick's church in Islandeady this time for Elaine & Matthew's wedding. It was wet at times, windy and quite chilly too.  But I guess we wouldnt have got such a dramatic photo of them outside Knockranny House Hotel with Croagh Patrick in the background. We were lucky enough to have a few minutes clearing of the clouds to get this as the sun was just about to go down.

Ive done so much photography for weddings around Westport where we wanted to get Croagh Patrick in the background and each time it comes out so different. Probably down to the different times of day, year & weather.

Fair play to Elaine & Matthew, a really lovely couple to work with.

First winter photos of the year.

Is it surprising that people are talking about hardly anything else but the weather. But then whats new with that?

Got taking my first winter photos on Saturday morning while on my way to the studio in Westport. I came across this scene of a white horse in a snowy field with a perfect view of Westport's most popular mountain, Croagh Patrick. I was trying to get the horses attention for one of the photographs but she was having none of it.

Didnt really get taking many photos as I was on my way to the studio to meet a wedding couple and was then heading off to Limerick but I promise to take alot more wintery photos of Mayo and Galway this winter.

I was working on photos for a guesthouse / holiday village in Castlebar, Mayo the other day when I decided to take a look out by the river while the sun was setting. You can see Croagh Patrick in the background. It was a beautiful evening.
