Wedding Journal Show - Citywest 26/27th September

I am going to be both exhibiting and photographing the upcoming Wedding Journal show this weekend in the gigantic Citywest Conference Centre. My stand is G6 and I'll have my beautiful fiancé Mo helping me show my new range (arrived today) of the most wonderful albums. 

As usual it will be hectic so if I am busy photographing the proceedings send me a text on 087 2861544 and I'll pop over for a chat. It's going to be an exciting show!. 

Have a look below at last January's event which I photographed to get an idea of what to expect.

Quilter Cheviot & the RHA 185th Annual Exhibition Pre-show

Having photographed various Quilter Cheviot Investment Management events over the last couple of years I was invited along to capture the spirit of the latest Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) 185th Annual Exhibition for a pre-show viewing in the Gallagher Gallery, 15 Ely Place, D2 on the 21st May. 

From the 10th to the 11th April just over 1,000 artists left in their paintings, drawings, prints, photographs and sculpture into the RHA for review by 8 members of the Academy whose job it was to select 10% of this overall work for show. To quote Patrick T Murphy (RHA Director) "The 185th RHA Annual Exhibition is like its predecessors, a magnanimous act of inclusion".

Having seen the fantastic work which went on show I have decided to submit a piece for inclusion into the 186th RHA Annual Exhibition. More information can be found regarding submissions here. Wish me luck!.

Susan and Sean

Susan and Sean got married in the Morrison (Doubletree by Hilton) Hotel in October last year. What a fabulous couple, as relaxed as you get and very young to boot.

It did rain buckets outside but we were all comforted by the wonderful surroundings of this sumptuous hotel and not a soul mentioned the weather which was very refreshing. Everybody had a ball. 

Have a look below for a flavour of the photos that were captured throughout the day.

Here is a shot of the simple stylish and chic Studio wedding album that they chose to showcase their wedding photos. 

I wish Susan and Sean at the very best for their future.

I am Wedding Storyteller

When MyWed approached me in mid June to upload a photo story as part of their international wedding competition (in conjunction with Nikon), I was chuffed. It was only after looking at some of the other entries that you get a sense of the calibre of each wedding photographer who was chosen to participate. Wonderful is the only term I can use for each and every submission.

The bar is raised so high with this competition it can only be but inspiring. 

You can see my entry here and my qualifying portfolio photos here.
