I’m very pleased to announce that I have  just won second place in the Getting Married in NI Annual Wedding Awards at the prestigious awards ceremony in the Ramada Hotel in Belfast on Saturday night.  I feel really proud to receive this award, nothing gives me so great an honour as being nominated by my clients.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who voted for me.

I have been nominated for all Ireland recognition at the 2012 Weddings Online Awards- Wedding Photographer of the Year. You can vote for me by going to  http://www.weddingsonline.ie/awards/vote/

Voting closes on Friday 9th December at 5pm.

I think with the recession a lot of these beautiful memories are being forgotten. I have to instill that you cannot get these moments back.  I would have loved some photographs taken like this with my mum, to look back on now.  Arranging a Portrait Session like this for your family and children is an act of love.  It is also a great experience when a family can all be together, a rare occasion these days.

I have known all these kids, except Rian the youngest, since they were 1 yr old when Mary (Mammy) would bring them to the studio for their First Portrait.  We thought it would be a nice change to get some photographs taken of the kids at home on Ciaran’s (Daddy) Family Farm.  It is a real honour to be invited back by the family to take their photographs and record them growing up…so fast

Check out Corrie & Michael on One Fab Day. If you are looking for something that little bit personal or just some good old inspiration for your wedding you have to check out the One Fab Day website.  I promise you will be blown away with ideas for your own big day and ‘hey’ maybe I can photograph it for you!

I had to start blogging with a very special wedding.  I photographed Michael’s brothers wedding last year and it is always a compliment to be invited back to photograph another member of the family.  The attention to detail was amazing and a lot of it was done by Corrie herself.   I think this is the kind of wedding I would like.
