Trinity College Wedding

Katy and Adrian chose me to photograph their Trinity College wedding as I like to photograph a wedding in a natural and unobtrusive manner and this was the style they were looking for.

I feel that brides look at their most beautiful on their wedding day when a photographer can manage to blend into the background and they do that feel like there are being photographed.

The guests also look at their very best when they do not feel like they have to pose for photographs. Primarily I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss which I find couples really appreciate.

I always like to give a sense of story and place to a couple’s wedding photographs. The grounds of Trinity College and Trinity College Chapel make for lovely backdrops for wedding photographs. It also gives a nice sense of Dublin to the story of the day.

 Creative Approach

Katy arrived in a lovely vintage car to be married and was cheered by visiting tourists. After a beautiful wedding ceremony in Trinity College Chapel I photographed the group portrait on the steps of the chapel. It showcased the wedding guests and Trinity architecture both beautifully.

I then photographed Katy and Adrian walking through the grounds of Trinity. This made them feel like they were taking a nice walk through their Alma mater on their wedding day. Therefore they did not like they were posing for wedding photographs.

The rose garden in Trinity makes for a nice quiet spot for the family pictures which I always like to make as natural looking as possible. I achieve this by asking the guests to walk towards the camera, it gives people something to do so the photographs do not look stiff and I find it makes people smile of their own accord.

I came up with this idea on the very first wedding I ever photographed to make the pictures more contemporary and natural. It was then to The Weston Hotel for a beautiful wedding reception.

Most importantly Katy and Adrian were delighted with their wedding photographs. This is also the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me. They also remarked that the guests said that they hardly noticed me working on the day. I was very happy to hear that and it is what I like to achieve.

Registry Office Wedding

Registry Office Wedding. Vicki and Alan celebrated their registry office wedding on a lovely day in Dublin. They traveled from Scotland to get married at the Registry Office. I aimed to capture a nice sense of the city in their wedding photographs, especially since some of Dublin’s loveliest parts are nearby. I also enjoy taking couples along a specific route after their registry office ceremony, which includes the banks of the Grand Canal, Georgian Dublin, and concludes at Merrion Square Park.

My Creative Approach To A Registry Office Wedding

I photographed Vikki and Alan as they were walking through this part of the city. Thus, they felt like they were taking a nice walk through Dublin on their wedding day. Not like they were posing for wedding photographs. I like to photograph a registry office wedding in a natural manner. Brides look at their most beautiful when they do not have to worry about posing.

Wedding guests look at their very best when they do not feel like someone is photographing them. The experience resembled a guided tour of Georgian Dublin. The photography was relaxing and enjoyable, providing a sense of story and place. We wrapped up the photography session at O’Donoghue’s on Baggot Street. Alan and Vikki wanted to enjoy a nice pint of Guinness in a traditional Irish pub.

What If It’s Raining?

I have photographed a number of weddings in the rain, so I have a backup plan for locations. That said, it has only happened on a few occasions, and 98% of the time, the weather behaves itself or clears up, so we can get all the pictures done.

On the few occasions it rained we were still able to get all the photographs with a few changes to locations. We can still do the group portion on the canal. Everyone can put their umbrellas up for one picture, like a parasol. Then take them down quickly so I can get that picture. So you will have both versions. There is good tree coverage on the banks of the canal to do the family pictures.

Then I go to St. Stephen’s Green with the couple. There is loads of good tree coverage there at all times of year. Close by is The National Library, Trinity College and The National Museum has beautiful architectural coverage to add to the story of the day.

When rain was forecast, a bride once bought a white umbrella that matched her dress. It thus added to the story and charm of the pictures.

So there are a lot of alternative options around the city centre so we can still get that nice sense of Dublin in the pictures. Whilst remaining dry and still enjoying the time. These are just ideas and of course if a couple has any other preferences around town.

It was a lovely summer’s day for Deirdre and Donal’s Fallon and Byrne wedding. Primarily I like to photograph a wedding in a natural and unobtrusive way. To keep things simple and not make a fuss. Deirdre and Donal chose me for this reason. In particular they were looking for natural wedding photographs.

We started the wedding photographs in St. Stephen’s Green before the ceremony. Firstly photographing Deirdre and Donal walking through the park. Thus they felt like they were taking a nice walk on their wedding day. As a result, they did not feel like they were posing for wedding photographs.

After we met with both their families at the bandstand in St. Stephen’s Green which makes for a nice backdrop for photographs. The grass beside the bandstand is actually a very quiet area. So on a Saturday, it is a good spot for family pictures.

I also like to make family pictures as natural looking as possible also. I achieve this by asking the guests to walk towards the camera. It gives people something to do so the photographs do not look stiff. Also, I find it makes people smile of their own accord. I came up with this idea on the very first wedding I ever photographed. It makes the pictures more contemporary and natural.

Then it was then on to Fallon & Byrne for a lovely wedding ceremony which included a Celtic hand-fasting ceremony. After the ceremony, we did some pictures in the laneways around Fallon & Byrne to give a mix of the urban and nature to the wedding photographs. Deirdre and Donal were delighted with their wedding photographs. This is one of the most rewarding parts of wedding photography for me.
