2009 Desk Calendar

Our annual desk calendar was miraculously ready before the end of 2008 this year! We had a lot of fun compiling the images and creating the design.
This year we included an extra dimension to the images with the addition of a text quote. It took us hours and hours to find the perfect quote for each month, but we feel it enhances the impact of the images and gives them something to connect them to the viewer.

Joanne & Chris's Wedding at the Slieve Russell Hotel

Joanne & Chris suggested stopping off at Drumlane Abbey on the way back to the hotel and what a treat it was! With a stunning view over the countryside as well as some amazing ruins with towers, arches and doorways to use as photography backdrops it was something so unique.

The winter light was just perfect and whilst the bridal party were freezing, they all had a lot of fun before heading back to the Slieve Russell Hotel for some mulled wine and traditional Irish music!

Lynn & Conor's Wedding Barberstown Castle


December 20th was one of those typical Irish winter days - very cold, a bit wet and pretty dull! But that didn't stop Lynn & Conor from having an amazing wedding day and some stunning wedding photographs!
We grabbed five minutes outside to capture the gorgeous old castle at Barberstown and in between shots I had to tear down the drive after a runaway umbrella! The banquet hall looked really stunning decked out with for Christmas and judging by the buzz at the drinks, it was going to be a great night!

Just back from London, England

Had an action-packed few days at the SWPP Photographic Convention. With so many workshops and lectures to choose from we had a fantastic time being inspired by professional photographers from around the world. It's always great to step away from the business for a few days to see what trends are developing in the industry, what new products are on the market we can offer our clients and what beautiful images are being created in the photographic world. Now it's back to Ireland where both of us are in the finals in numerous sections of the Irish Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) Annual Awards at Carton House, Kildare on Sunday 20th. Fingers crossed!!!
