Wedding Photography stories & images taken in Kerry, Cork, Limerick, Clare and Tipperary, Ireland by Pauline Dennigan, Wedding Photographer from Tralee, Kerry, Ireland
I am trying to meet a deadline but really wanted to share this shot with you. I mentioned Niamh & Tom in an earlier post on their rainy day wedding. Well I have just edited another one of their shots which I really love. This was shot within seconds of rain falling on us. Kerry is such a beautiful county but boy does it rain a lot. I can still say, hand on my heart, that it is THE best place in Ireland to get married…
Whether you are getting married or not, November is a time when we could all do with some extra hugs and kisses so why not practice some photogenic kissing…
Rule One – Do not pout like a trout! Partners lips should be just touching and not protruding or squashed against each other.
Rule Two – Do not have a collision of noses going on! Tilt your heads in opposite directions so that you fit together comfortably.
Rule Three – Feel free to use your hands around the face or neck for a more passionate embrace but without squashing your partners skin. Hands need to rest gently or risk distorting your beloved’s face.
Rule Four – Close your eyes when kissing. The rabbit caught in headlights look is not good when kissing your partner! Much more passionate when you allow yourself to be lost in the moment.
Rule Five – You don’t always have to kiss on the lips. Forehead, cheek or neck can sometimes look really good.
Now practice!
Here are my 6 winning photographs which achieved Gold Awards at the Irish Professional Photographers Association two nights ago. I am now in the running for IPPA Photographer of the Year 2010, but let me tell you it is very, very difficult to win and the the standard of my colleagues is incredible so don’t hold your breath….
Huge thanks to Lorraine & Joe, Lillian & Marco, Jasmin & Danny, Elva & Eoin, Judy & Brian and Louise & Des, firstly for booking me as their wedding photographer and secondly for creating these images with me.
I have been itching to edit this wedding of Jasmin and Danny who came from Alberta, Canada to get married in Cork. They came, not to have a big Irish wedding but a nuptial event that I would consider to be true to their character. No fluffiness but big on quality where it mattered…
Jasmin and Danny had cycled around the West Coast of Ireland a few years ago and were enchanted by the landscape. They hadn’t been to Cork so I did the research on the ground. I decided that some cityscapes, along with the cliff tops of Inchydoney and the beautiful doorways of Clonakilty would encapsulate this amazing part of Ireland…
