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.

Lacken, Co. Mayo

I took a drive to Lacken yesterday and decided to drive around all the little narrow back roads to see if it lead me anywhere interesting. Sometimes I try to get lost (its not easy when your trying for some reason).

I came to a dead end at a coast line so I got out and walked. What a beautiful spot I had found. The Atlantic waves were pounding off the cliffs making loud crashing booms and shooting many meters in the the air. The sun was just about to go down (to the right of the cliffs). It was hard to find a spot to take a photo without running the risk of getting hit by one of these waves and getting dragged out to the sea. I think its one of the reasons I like the sea, its so intimidating and powerful. Not being able to swim would have a sight influence too im sure.

I had taken a few photos when it started to rain so I headed back to the car. I hate the rain!! Planning on going back soon and im sure I seen a cave somewhere :)

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.

West coast road trip

We left the house in Mayo on Monday eve at about 7pm and made our way to Clifden, Co. Galway. Checked into a hostel, got a bit of food and hit a local pub.



Next day we drove around the Burren and seen allot off the coastline. That evening we stayed in Doolin, Co Clare. Thought about camping out but the weather was still a bit rough. Doolin was pretty but id say its very quite in the Winter.



Wednesday we saw the cliffs of Moher. Couldnt believe we had to pay €8 'crazy!!'. Weather was terrible too. Headed over to Dingle which was very nice. Cant believe ive never been. Visited a few nice cosey pubs that evening. Stayed in a hostel call the Grapevine which was lovely.




Thursday we drove around most of the Ring of Kerry. The sun had finally come out so we decided to camp out.

It was a long drive on Friday from Kerry to Bundoran. My younger brother had organized surf lessons for us. I wasnt sure about doing it but was glad i did.
