Karen & Eamonn's wedding in Ballintubber Abbey, Mayo

Here is a short selection from Karen & Eamonn's wedding last Friday. Its only May and already ive been in Ballintubber Abbey quite a few times photographing weddings. It is a lovely church though. Another good thing is that Ballintubber Abbey is only a few minutes from where I live.

After the ceremony we took the family photos on the grounds of Ballintubber Abbey and then headed to a woods near by for the bridal party photos. The green backdrop worked really well with the bridesmaids dresses. We had planned to do some of the photography by the lake but as it was a bit windy and slightly raining, under the trees was the best option. Moore Hall is only a few minutes away from Ballintubber Abbey.

Reception was held at the McWilliam Park Hotel in Claremorris.

Food photography Ireland West

Just back from a food photography shoot here in Westport, Mayo. I was working with master chef Alan Myburgh.

I must put together a gallery of food photography shots Ive done over the last year. Looking back over the last 12 months Ive been commissioned to do quite a bit of it in various hotels and restaurants around the West of Ireland. I must be doing something right :)

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!

Looks like sunshine is on the cards for tomorrows wedding in Ballintubber Abbey, Mayo

Time to charge the few dozen batteries, wipe the memory cards, clean the lens & pack up the gadgets. Getting the gear ready for tomorrows wedding in Ballintubber Abbey, Mayo with reception in Hotel Westport.

Looks like we'll be getting nice weather too which is always great. In saying that, I got some amazing photos from the last wedding I done in Mulranny Hotel where the sun was nowhere to be seen for the most part of the day. This was one of the more darker arty ones taken.
