Wedding trends 2014
Starting to plan your wedding for 2014 or maybe even 2015 (it’s possible) and looking for some inspiration.  I’ve been reading up on predictions for wedding trends and this is my take on what I’m seeing and hearing.
No. 1 – Vintage
Vintage is appearing a lot!  We’re talking dresses, shoes, even crockery for the wedding breakfast.  Whilst the understated glamour, lace and long sleeves of the 1920’s are expected to be popular, we’re also talking 1940’s. 50’s and 60’s styling too.  By the time we get to 2015 I’d expect to be seeing even some 70’s or 80’s styling too, yes really!
Wedding planners www.absoluteperfection.co.uk have some great examples of vintage here:

No. 2 – Destination shoes
Shoes that are just a little bit different, mostly hidden under your (or your brides) beautiful dress, but maybe jewelled, or multi-coloured.

No. 3 – Something special
Every wedding is different, and of course every wedding is special, but brides and grooms are going that bit further to include something very unique to them in their celebration.  Maybe motorcycle out-riders for the keen bikers, or a strictly come dancing style first dance for the dancers amongst you, whatever it is, it’s something unashamedly and unapologetically all about YOU.  And why not, it’s your day after all.

Whatever your plans for 2014, 2015 feel free to get in contact to discuss your wedding photography with me.
I have packages to suit modest budgets up to packages that give a couple everything they may want form their photographer.
Not everyone follows wedding trends, and some people just want what they like rather than following the crowd. My style of photography is to document your day and tell a story whether you are vintaged up or simple and stylish, I wish to capture all the little details you have spent months thinking about.
My weddings page explains how I work and what I put into planning your day so you don’t have to worry about what happens next with the photography.

Storybook Wedding album

I have just received my lovely books from Loxley Colour to show some of my work off, the coffee table book is the large one.  The print and binding quality are nothing short of what I would expect  from any top notch publisher.

I also delivered a Bellissimo Classico album to a couple last week who’s wedding I shot in Dunboyne Castle, they were over the moon with it and with the set of mini albums they ordered to give to close family members as keepsakes of the day.

I prefer to use the Loxley albums as the finish and presentation is first class, the Classico storybook albums come in a stunning presentation box to protect it from dust and handling.

The software Loxley supply users with works really well, I always sit down and design your album so it does tell the story of your day. I take it personally when doing this because when I photograph your wedding day and you choose the pictures I remember when they were taken and what was happening, so if I put two images next to each other it’s for a reason not just because the colours match.

Check out these beautiful books and albums, they really are such nice things to handle both the coffee table book and the album lay flat when open so they are really easy to hold, Shane and Deborah asked me to add extra pages to their album to take it from ten spreads and twenty pages, upto  twenty spreads and forty pages, and it was still really nice to handle.

The storybook wedding albums I produce for clients are as personal as taking the pictures, when you show the book to a friend or family it is as much a representation of me as the pictures in it, so I make double sure it’s right before I click ‘order’

You can see more images of the albums here:-

Shane & Deborah Branigan’s Wedding at Dunboyne Castle

Shane and Deborah’s wedding came to me through a friend referal which is a nice way to get work, I had photographed Shane’s sister and her family a while ago, and when Shane popped the question they asked to see some of my work.

After meeting the couple, and visiting the stunning Dunboyne Castle Hotel I put a plan together of how I would work on the day. It was to be a civil ceremony and everything would take place in the hotel, with it being an October wedding I was glad about this!

The Day before was Glorious, but we weren’t blessed with the weather… so we worked hard to get some nice pictures inside the beautiful Dunboyne Castle hotel for Shane and Deborah.

Like I said the weather was poor on the day but I had been to the hotel to do my recce and made sure I had plenty of different locations to use should the day be wet outside, the hotel has a nice mix of new and old so it was easy to get plenty of different looking images.

We did manage to sneak 10 minutes out in the cold and grey, and managed to get some lovely shots in the soft failing light at the end of the day.

I always ask the couple for permission to use the images of their day on my site, most people are glad for them to be used but sometimes people would rather not and I respect that, Shane and Deborah were happy for me to use their pictures in my post, so here they are…. I hope you enjoy them.
