Mark & Claire

It was back-to-back Weddings last weekend so I’ve been busy playing catch-up this week on editing and album design!

First up, Mark and Claire’s wedding last Friday and we travelled to Lusty Beg after the ceremony. What a beautiful location and we had all the gorgeous weather to enjoy it. I was in no rush to leave! Claire and Mark were fun and relaxed throughout the day and it couldn’t have been more perfect for them. I think Mark even managed to forget about the World Cup for a while :)

Sometimes its good to be nosy. You find all sorts of things. This little note for instance, tucked in the flowers…

I love it when there is a chance to have some quiet time with the bride before the ceremony.

Jack trying very hard to stay clean and tidy. That shirt-tail just refused to stay in the trousers. It’s better this way :)

I did not hear Claire complain about those killer heels all day but there is nothing like this feeling…

Warm, dry, sunny and loads of light. I’m in photographer’s heaven at the moment. Just want to get all this editing done so I can get back outside! On the longest day of the year I headed off for a session with the McNamee family. They have a fab back garden so out we went for a few shots. I photographed Dan when he just a few days old. Can’t think where the time went, but there’s no stopping him now! Such a gorgeous, fun bunch.

Ellie knows exactly how to manage her youngest brother!

The first of many

I’m hoping this is the first of many photoshoots for Claire’s little one. He or she will be arriving in August so look out for the newborn shoot on the blog. Because Claire is looking so fabulous in pregnancy, we decided to go on a maternity shoot, and it was extra special because Jason came along too – although she told him it would be just be one or two photos – oops!.

Last year I photographed Claire and Jason’s beautiful Wedding in August. It’s a pleasure to be able to continue taking photos for all these special milestones in their lives. Here are some of my fav photos from the session.

Back soon

I shall be out of the office this weekend. I won’t be answering emails or calls unless it is really urgent. I will be back on Monday bright and early!

I might not get to finish editing all of Claire’s maternity session until next week. I’m heading off to Cork over the weekend for some chill out time. It was the first maternity session I’ve ever been asked to do and I’m loving so many of the pics. Might be a long blogpost coming! Here’s a taster for now…
