Italian Wedding in West Cork

Dermot Sullivan, Cork Wedding Photographer, Wedding Photography Cork, Award Winning Wedding Photography, West Cork Wedding Photography, Cork Wedding Photos, Clonakilty Wedding Photographer, Best Prices, Packages, Pictures, Best Wedding Photos, Greta and Luca had their Italian wedding in West Cork on perhaps the wettest day I have ever experienced at Gougane Barra. The rain was so heavy that the gated entrance to the church flooded and I had to climb over a wall to get back to my car. Despite the terrible weather, Greta and Luca, who are Italian but work in Clonakilty, had a wonderful ceremony with their friends and relations.

We then moved on to Clonakilty, and had some wedding photographs in Spillers Lane and the world famous De Barra’s pub. Ray Blackwell, of De Barra’s, very kindly let us have the run of the premises for our photographs and the customers were delighted to see Greta and Luca in the bar. Usually the bride gets all the attention on her wedding day, but Luca’s amazing suit drew some admiring glances and comments as well.

Next stop was the reception venue, Deasy’s Restaurant in Ring. Luca is a chef and the food element of the day was really important to them both. Deasy’s has a fantastic reputation and head chef Caitlin Ruth and her team served an amazing 5 course meal to the 40 guests (me included).

Next to cooking, photography is Luca’s passion and their wedding photographs were really important to them. We were disappointed not to be able to have any photographs in the grounds of Gougane Barra because of the weather, but the god of photography smiled on us that evening. The rain stopped, the clouds parted and we had the most amazing sunset.

We went to the pier in Ring as the sun was going down and did some creative off-camera flash wedding photography. Even if I say so myself, the photographs are something else!

All that was left to do was head back to Deasy’s for the dancing…

The Importance Of Wedding Albums In This Digital Age…

They say that there are two things left after a wedding, the rings and the photographs. Well, your rings are pretty hardy and can look after themselves, but your photographs need some special care and attention. That is why wedding albums are so important in this digital age.

If you just have your wedding photographs on a disc or a USB drive, they are very vulnerable. Discs get damaged and lost, operating systems change and files can no longer be read or opened.

How many VHS tapes have you got gathering dust, and how many wedding videos are no longer watchable without being transferred onto a disc, which can be damaged or lost…

If you take the time after your wedding to go through your photographs to choose your favourites and then get your photographer to create an album for you, you are creating a historical document for your family.

You may not look through it too many times after you first get it, but I guarantee that as the years roll on and especially if you have children, your wedding album will become a treasured family heirloom.

With the modern storybook albums, your photographer isn’t just putting pictures into a book, they are creating a visual story of your day. Many modern photographers also have excellent graphic design skills and the computer software to design layouts and spreads to compliment your images and bring your wedding day to life.

Scroll down to see some of the layouts I have done for my recent wedding clients. I try to make each page a mini story of a particular part of the day, from the grooms and brides preparations in the morning to the speeches and dancing in the evening and I like to make some of the epic and dramatic shots into double page spreads.

Click here to see the range of wedding albums I can provide…

To enjoy your wedding day and to have great photographs to treasure afterwards, my two pieces of advice to any couple who are planning their wedding are… Pick a photographer that you can get on with, as they will be with you for most of the day and most importantly, get a wedding album!!

Castlemartyr Resort Wedding. Zainab and Mahfar.

I was delighted when Zainab and Mahfar asked me to photograph their wedding at the Castlemartyr Resort, not only are they a fantastic couple to work with, but Castlemartyr is one of the best wedding venues in Ireland.

Here is what Zainab posted on my Facebook page the day after their wedding…

Myself, my husband and Castlemartyr resort’s staff thought you are one of the best photographer we have ever seen ! You were a wedding planner and a photographer. You are very creative and you put so much time and energy into your work ! You made us feel we were a special bride and groom. Thank you so so much.

We started off the photography in the presidential suite and worked our way through the hotel and grounds before the guests arrived for the drinks reception at 4pm.

Zainab and Mahfar made a grand entrance down the main staircase and we took the family portraits and a group shot in the formal gardens behind the hotel.

At 6pm the guests gathered in the dining room for the traditional Persian Wedding Ceremony, which included the exchange of gifts and food as well as rings.

When the ceremony was completed we had dinner, which was followed by one of the many highlights of the day, a traditional Persian Wedding Knife Dance. The Irish guests danced just as enthusiastically as Zainab and Mahfar’s relatives and much hilarity ensued.

Finally, Zainab changed into a beautiful Indian wedding dress for the cutting of the cake.

Hi Dermot,

We are delighted that we had you as our photographer yesterday, you were absolutely brilliant. These pics are amazing and we are really looking forward to seeing the rest. Our friends and family were also amazed at how you handled everything. Will talk to you again soon! Take care!
