I was in Navan today photographing a cute new baby and on the way home I decided to make a little detour in to see the Hill of Tara, a place I’m ashamed to say I’ve never been to. Unfortunately it was shut (how or why you’d shut a hill is something I’m not too sure about) but I saw these two hanging around nearby and decided to take out my camera anyway. They obliged and gave me this cute shot.
I pondered long and hard to come up with a name for this post…well, what else are you going to call it? Taken at the Happy Pear in Greystones.
Some more photos from Joy and Stephen’s wedding. The preparations were all at Joy’s family home and her 3 sisters Claire, Dawn and Gayle were her bridesmaids. I think at one point Joy’s mum was pinning the veil into Joy’s head 😀 You have to suffer to look this gorgeous!
Canon 5D, 85mm, f1.8, 1/160, ISO 400
I vaguely remember days as nice as this one. The ceremony was in Howth Presbyterian Church:
OK, the photo on the left is my favourite from this wedding – actually it’s a contender for my favourite from any wedding I’ve done, but (proving my favourites are never anyone else’s) Joy prefers the one on the right:
I loved the dark wooden rafters:
Just for a bit of fun, I was playing with this sequence in Photoshop. I’m still an animator at heart 😀
Mr & Mrs:
A favourite from a wedding I’ve been meaning to post for ages. This is Joy (and she really lives up to her name) being helped into her dress by her Mum and her sisters. I was laughing so much it was hard to hold the camera still, it was such a fun wedding.
This is also the photograph I sent in as my submission to the excellent Homepages project by Catherine Brodigan (which is still on sale from Lulu.com if you want to nab a copy).
My 5D isn’t very well right now, I think it had an adverse reaction to some very cold conditions at a wedding a few weeks ago so my resolution to take it out more regularly was broken before it even got to January 1st! So, here’s a shot taken back in better times. This is Daniel (I doubt he’d fit in this basket anymore!) with his brother and sister at the park in Shankill. They and their parents emigrated to Australia this week and we’re going to miss them a lot.
