Portadown Wedding

A fine day was had by all in Portadown and then on to the Armagh City Hotel It was very warm in the little chapel and the Groom was overcome by the heat and the occasion. he took time out during the ceremoney to get some air, it was a great break and it led to a wonderful humerous and human ceremoney when it continued, it was a great ice breaker (I thnk all weddings should take a bit of a breather in the middle) anyway we managed to miss the rain and had a photosession at the Palace Stables.. Id have to say I was a bit dissapointed with the gardens..
heres an image

Local Wedding in Keady

Im a bit late on this one as I have been busy easter mondays Wedding. It was a lovely day blue skys and large fluffy clouds but it was damm cold Luke and myself geared up for a long day on our feet and set to work. We captured some fantastic images and had a great time in competition with eachother to see who would get that killer shot. I got a more consistant bag but Luke got the best shot of the day I think..

Derrynoose Holy Communion

trying to use one leg more than the other and now I`ve got two sore
legs. Just my luck. Anyway the wedding turned up some surprises
for the bride, the groom ordered a horse drawn carriage for her,
it was a truly moving moment to see how astounded she was..

Midweek message

Searching through the web I have found some "Trash the Dress" videos on you tube
they make for some interesting viewing and show what is possable with regard the art of Wedding Photography given enough time and opportunity.. and of course a dress
These are shot using a fashion style which lends itself well to the capture of Wedding imagery.

and makes for some oustanding bridal images..

Well This is it..
