Busy busy meee

Well here I am in the middle of my busiest week of the year and I am loving it.  I may be taking a little break to write this post but sure hey, we all deserve a break don't we!

Today, for the second time this week, I read a Jasmine Star blog, I am sorry but I will never be able to write the way this girl does, the words just flow so smoothly, everything seems so romantic.  I am what I am though, and I am loving it all.

On Sunday myself and the hubbie with kids in tow went to see the Entourage wedding band play locally in the afternoon.  Jenny really has some voice and as friends had seen us chat before the gig started many came over throughout to say what a superb voice she had with one even saying Rhianna couldn't sing that well!

Thanks to Jenny for giving a little speech on me during the gig too.

Yesterday I met with Danielle & Iain in Dublin city centre, Merrion Square to be exact.  They had a private ceremony in the local registry office and came down the street to meet me for a few pics afterwards.  As I stood there outside the park I was in excited beyond belief to see the married couple, I am usually there for the preperations, watching the nerves and this was my first time to actually meet the couple after the ceremony. 

As they got out of the car I could tell straight away both Danielle and Iain were thoroughly enjoying their day.  Carrying a cooler, Iain was well prepared with a bottle of champers to relax any nerves.

Although I had only arranged to photograph at the park when I heard the reception was to be held in the Anglers Rest in the Strawberry beds I had to go.  Growing up for me close by it was the cool place to be and over the last few years has undergone a huge makeover giving it a very quaint shabby chic feel to it. 

The newlyweds were completely relaxed enjoying the warm weather outside with their guests before the meal started and obliged me for some photographs upstairs too. 

As the saying goes, behind every good man...... well behind every good photographer there is a team of friends and family willing to help.  Not only are they willing to help with child minding and house cleaning  they are also all too often willing to listen to me ramble on about work, which I do you know, it is a personal obsession of mine, about cameras, about editing techniques, you name it.  I know deep down they really don't give a damn why I prefer to with no flash at times and with at other times but they listen anyway as they are genuinely happy for me and how my hard work over the last few years has brought me to this stage. 

So thanks to all of my friends for helping and all of my beautiful brides and grooms for allowing me to be a part of their day, here is to many more!
