David & Fiona

Scenes from a recent wedding in Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo. The ceremony was in Bahola church and the reception was in the Park hotel in Kiltimagh.

This couple were so lucky to escape the the volcanic ash cloud. The whole wedding party including themselves had flown over from UK to have a wedding in the west of Ireland. Had the wedding been a few days later, it would have been a very quite wedding.

Witness One Voice, Sligo event

I was asked to capture part of an event which took place in county Sligo called Witness One Voice.

The Witness project is in the process of applying for funding to create a piece of media that explores the experience of asylum.

The event happend over the whole weekend where they spent their time sharing experiences, playing music, drumming, singing, dancing cooking and recording the journey.

Great day for a wedding in your back garden

I was covering a wedding last Saturday here in Mayo. I'm sure they took into account Ireland's unpredictable summer weather when they went ahead with the idea of having their reception in a marquee. It really paid off though.

This is my third wedding where the reception was in a marquee at their own home. Luckily enough the weather was gorgeous for all three.

The marquee was hired from Carnival Marquees, check out their website

3 models, a makeup artist and allot of paint.

Wednesdays photo shoot was certainly not the usual session. It consisted of 3 models, a makeup/bodypainter artist and allot of paint.

Here is a small selection from the day.

Slí Na Croí is Tribal Drumming Community run by Barry Flannery on the west coast of Ireland

Another fantastic weekend with the the Slí Na Croí drumming group.

I think we can all agree that it was quite a different experience this time drumming in the Tipi.
