Give us a goo photography blog

I was a little nervous when David rang and enquired about family portrait photos as he clearly knew exactly what type of family photographs he had in mind, plus he was also more than just a keen amateur photographer, turns out he  sets up studios for media artists inclusive of RTE. Luckily he had a spacious living room which meant setting up a white background was relatively easy and there was no light spill back. The kids were an absolute delight to work with and made sure that I had enough jellies in me to bounce off the walls during the shoot.  David wanted natural photos so there wasn’t  much posing involved as we wanted the kids to be at ease. Since the kids were’nt being told to keep still, we got loads of candid photos and happy faces. The family photo I uploaded has been heavily edited, with his daughters head from a different photo. Overall, a successful shoot and I hope to see them more over the years.

Another great day with the sun shining amidst a week of rain. I’m beginning to think anytime I do a wedding the sun shines. It’s been ages since I shot a wedding in rain. Wonder if I’ll jinx it by writing it into the blog. This couple had their entire wedding at Killashee House Hotel which meant a great day for all without any travel worries and lots of time to mingle with each other.

If you ever need great Accounting software for any business…this is the package to get…

I’ll upload more later but this was a fantastic wedding whereby the Bride and Groom chose to walk around Exchequer St and Georges Arcade whilst I took photos. This particular image is from inside Fallon & Byrnes supermarket.We also tried on hats and feather boas from a stall and went into the Stags Head to surprise some locals. It just goes to show that landscaped gardens aren’t the only place to take wedding photos. Anyone else who would like unusual wedding photography please give us a shout as I’ve got good discounts depending on how unusual are your ideas for wedding photos!   I promise to upload more of this particular shoot as soon as the bride and groom choose their photos.

I’m in the middle of editing a couple of photographs for a wedding I did last week and thought you might be interested in seeing different styles of the one image. This was taken in the Killashee House Bridal Suite. Editing a photograph is  unbelievably important these days. I can’t stress how frustrating it is when I see photographers just hand over digital images on a DVD  without even colour correcting any files. That’s the equivalent of handing over a bunch of film negatives to the bride and groom.  A good photographer will take his time in editing a photograph until it’s potential has been reached. Obviously, it’s impossible to edit every single photograph, but he/she should be editing the ones you’d like printed/framed or put into an album.

Another beautiful day at Finnstown House Hotel with a great church ceremony in Kimmage,  it was a really bright church and I took a few panoramics to show you the interesting seating arrangements whereby everyone faced the aisle. Wedding photography couldn’t be easier with such seating arrangements and allowed me to take loads of candid photos unbeknownst to the party.

As a wedding photographer, I see a lot of wedding dresses on a weekly basis, I may not know the styles or the names of the designers but what I do know is that Patricia and Jacinta stock some of the most beautiful dresses that I’ve seen in the industry. They seem to cater for everyone. They’re also an absolute joy to work with and unbelievably professional in their work. This particular shoot took a little longer than expected but they were so dedicated to work that they couldn’t stop answering phone calls or opening the doors to clients. As you can see, we had a good laugh over it.
