Knockranny house hotel, Westport wedding - Padraig and Susan

Here are some highlights of Padraig and Susan's wedding which took place in the Knockranny House Hotel here in Westport, County Mayo. This was a lovely intimate civil wedding which too place in the hotel. Padraig and Susan were so easy going on the day and fantastic to work with. Theres a great spot just to the side of the hotel to get a cool photo with Croagh Patrick in it. Luckily for us you could actually see the mountain that day as it usually covered up by cloud.

Vintage style wedding photography

Yesterdays wedding was in The Ice House Hotel in Ballina, Mayo. This was really fun wedding to shoot & we got some pretty cool photos from the day.

Barbara and Micheál wanted a vintage feel to their photos and something different when it came to shots of them both. No nice landscape backdrops, but preferably old, derelict or urban. I personally love that style of photography anyway (as some of you know from looking at my derelict gallery on the website).

We took a half an hour out after the ceremony to wonder around the grounds of the Ice house hotel and over to a pub for a pint of Guinness to see what we could capture searching for the less the obvious shots.

Anyway, here are just a few from that 30 min that I really liked.

Landscape photos of sunset over the Partry mountains, Mayo

You dont have far to go around the West of Ireland to get lovely rugged landscape photos like these here. I really must go out and do a little more landscape photography. My main aim yesterday was to get some nice sky photos for stock use but as I drove up the mountains I could see the low sun beaming through the clouds. Perfect!

Sunset over Lough Conn

I was driving around since 1pm looking for some interesting old houses and some nice locations for some landscape photos. It wasnt easy today as i just wasn't inspired by anything. Although I did find an interesting old house. I was about to give up on getting any shots that i was really happy with, when on the way back home I seen the sun setting nicely behind Lough Conn.

Just back in the studio now. My feet are soaking from taking this photo. I was standing in water that was up to my ankles. Must invest in some wellies. Not the warmest of water either.

All in all I took about 25 images today. This is the one I am happy with the most (at first glance anyway). Must straighten the horizon on this one. Ill post one or two on www.thegreengallery.ie when Im happy with them.

Civil wedding at the Lisloughrey Lodge in Cong, Mayo

Here are a few photos from a recent wedding which was a civil wedding held in Lisloughrey Lodge in Cong, Co. Mayo. I really enjoyed working with this couple as they were so relaxed and friendly. The weather was amazing also, blue skies all day long. The couple were very happy with their photos and we are currently working together on making the album.
