Clare and Paul Wedding 17-07-2009

2009-07-27T21:12:00.003+01:00

You probably remember CLARE and PAUL from their previous ENGAGEMENT photoshoot.. Last 17th of July, 2009 was their BIG DAY! ..and guess what? It was fabulous! The bride and groom are really awesome! I have all the praises to say to them... and another thing was the weather, it was great, really! Honestly, I was so afraid that it might rain that day coz whenever I see the weather forecast from my iPHONE, it shows an image of a cloud and some raindrops.. then it didn't! LUCKY us and of course the lovely bride and groom! ;)

Here's a teaser shot...

Aimee and Mark Wedding Highlights

2009-07-23T19:34:00.004+01:00

Remember the wedding of Aimee and Mark? It was something different because the reception was held in a marquee and during night time, there was some fireworks display..

Enough of me saying, here's a pleasure for you to watch it now! :)

Special thanks to Michael Trehy.. my good friend videographer! and also to my second shooter Rodel Vargas who is also a good friend of mine :)

Enjoy the video clip..

Cool Wedding Entrance

2009-07-23T18:10:00.008+01:00

Wedding entrance is such a nerve rocking moment for the bridal party.. Countries, cultures, traditions are the factors that differs on how the entrance will be.. Ah well, the style as well? :) When it comes to traditions, it is common now for couples these days to break the rule(s) when it comes to becoming unique on their big days.. Such as this REALLY COOL entrance that apparently even ASHTON KUTCHER (MTV's punked, husband of Demi Moore) and ELLEN DEGENERES (The TV show) are twitting about this video ;)

Watch this...

Going GAGA!

2009-07-12T11:25:00.007+01:00

Pop Rock and Disco Diva Lady Gaga is such a hit in the music industry these days and has become an icon when it comes to the fashion styling too!

With this shoot that I'm goin to share, I happenned to shoot a Lady Gaga inspired style and it was executed by a Desei' girl again.. ;)

Model: Elayne Barry
Photographer/Director: Don-K
Assistant: Jong Ynclino

Here's a teaser shot...

A Moment...

2009-07-09T21:34:00.003+01:00

There are certain moment in our times that makes us jump, cry, shout (for joy), or keeps us silent to enjoy and feel that moment..

In any case, there is always that moment..

So, just like whenever myself and my wife are together, we have that moment of this, moment of that..

Anyhow, it's been a while since we had these photo moments.. ala celebrity style moment,lol!

..and this moment!

..another moment to smile is simply having LK! :)

...and for BOTH of US, we have the reason to SMILE just earlier! ..but we won't tell you yet! :)

Waterford SPRAOI Festival 5th of JULY

2009-07-06T00:14:00.006+01:00

Just yesterday in Waterford, the SPRAOI FESTIVAL was celebrated by the Deise' people and those visitors too. It usually falls on the first weekend of August every year (if my memory serves me correctly) but this year, there was a twist made. They're going to celebrate it twice. Parade for this month then Fireworks display on August.

Myself and my wife happenned to capture some actions and here they are..

Till NEXT TIME Folks!

Little DANiEL

2009-07-05T02:07:00.005+01:00

Another lovely day in Ireland yesterday afternoon and what's lovelier was the shoot I had.. It was a baby shoot and of course a family shoot too!

The main subject was no other than this really cute, gorgeous little man! His name is DANiEL.

I had a great time shooting this little boy. He's such adorable, you know the way when you see a cute child that you wanted to pinch and bite? That's how cute he is :)

Meet DANIEL..

Behind the scene...

The Traynors

2009-07-02T17:59:00.007+01:00

I have recently photographed the TRAYNORs in Waterford at their own house and own comfort.. Tess is actually my contact person who is the sister of my upcoming August bride which happenned to be in this (tess) lovely photos too :) They are our lovely neighbours as well, pretty handy ey?!

Here are some photos..

Truly a relaxed atmosphere..

Tess (the mum) suggested if we could do this shot emulating the photo they had when they were still small ones..

The BiZ!

2009-06-29T10:56:00.005+01:00

Here's some notes or maybe an experience so to speak that I would like to share.. Getting into photography business isn't too easy because it's not just about taking photos that you have to deal with. You also have to consider other aspects (more actually), not only on the business side of it but more importantly your partner, your wife, your family.. It is true that there will be times that you'll give up some personal things or time because you have an engagement on a certain time that coincides with your personal life.. but that's the nature of being a photographer I guess? :)

Having said all of these, I'm so grateful that my wife is always there for me.. I heartfully thank her for the kind and so much understanding and the love of course!

Perhaps it's TRUE that behind the success of a man is a woman.. ;)

..and so what's not to love her anyhow? "wink"

Love you sweetie,mwah!

Runners!

2009-06-29T10:24:00.003+01:00

Before we went up North, WE planned to really get some runners (shoes) and that we'll go running when we come back! Ah genie, until now we haven't run yet together! I know it has to be part of our lifestyle to be healthy but I've no time since yet (an excuse for being lazy,lol) :) and I know when you start running, it's addictive. Ah, sure WE will.. soon?!?

Here's our running shoes..

Coffee..

2009-06-29T10:08:00.003+01:00

Aah.. it's been a while since I had this ah well coffee in general :) I'm off the caffeine now coz I'm like HULK, my heart beats like a drum when it's in my system,LOL! :)

I just miss the taste..

This was in BELFAST, Northern Ireland.. about last month?

with the wife.. refreshing!

Filipino Independence Day Celebration in Dublin

2009-06-21T15:39:00.008+01:00

Last Saturday, 20th of June 2009 was a huge gathering of ALL the Filipinos in Ireland. It was held in St. Anne's Park, Dublin. It reminded me of BARRIO FIESTA in LONDON where I attended too about a couple of years ago.

I've learned and was stunned by the numbers of Filipinos living here now in Ireland. It's about 22,000 (unofficial estimate).. I supposed, the entire population of the Filipinos are about 80-90 million already?!? Which means, we're just some spills here, WHEW!

Anyhow, I took some photos and here they are...

Patrick and Nicole

This is RANDY SANTIAGO, a Filipino artist, singer and enterpreneur!

Look at the little boy...

Si pareng RODEL checking his shots!

From the time I knew him, he's been wearing sunglasses already! He's known for having them all the time.. Like BONO?? :)

He trully is an entertainer...

at this time.. Randy thought that my wife was single and he was kind of starting to throw some jokes.. my wife pointed at me! "there's my husband" ;)

He got embarrassed,LOL!

that was some classic.. LOL!

Here's NADINE and ANGELINA

This up and coming band is awesome so far! GO pinoys and company!

ayan si pareng JOSEPH.. :)

..and it's CONNOR and LILLY!

So this is ME and WIFE...

Clare and Paul engagement session

2009-06-14T15:59:00.007+01:00

Hello lads! Yesterday was lovely with all the sunshine everywhere in Ireland.. Such a great time for me to shoot an engagement session aka pre-nuptial shoot on these lovely couple, CLARE and PAUL.. with a nice, lovely weather? What else can you ask for huh? Ah, maybe DON-K to shoot your wedding or engagement session?! LOL!

Anyhow, here's some shots we did yesterday.. All of the locations were taken in the beautiful TRAMORE, Co. WATERFORD, Republic of Ireland.. Hope you'll browse down :)

Photographer: Don-K
Assisted by: Rodel Vargas
Location: Tramore, Co. Waterford, Southeast Ireland

I am so glad to document how happy these couple are.. :)

I know, I'm there to capture the moment between them.. and to share the way I looked at them..

There's no words to describe how they feel the love for each other.. by the way, this field is actually owned by her grandmother that when I saw it which is just beside her mother's house, ah, I says this is a nice spot.. why don't we roll on?! ;)

..and this is where Clare's mum stays when she's medidating she said :) which is really cool for photograph taking too!

..and now, behind this yellow wall.. it's where clare used to work when she's younger :)

Every places we go to here are so meaningful indeed! :)

Clare used to hop up here when she was a little.. :)

Car ProDrifting at Punchestown

2009-06-01T13:10:00.004+01:00

Last Sunday, 31st of May 2009, WE went to watch PRODRiFT in Punchestown. Iv'e seen some familiar faces there from Waterford who are also enthusiastic about cars..

The day went great! Full of actions! Here's some proofs...

Shane Lynch of BOYZONE competed as well..

..and here's the lucky man that day! Brother "A" ;)

Aimee and Mark Wedding 30th May 2009

2009-06-01T12:59:00.009+01:00

In each wedding date, Bride and Groom would always hope and pray that it won't rain during their BiG DAY of course! Summer is not a guarantee for sunshine here in Ireland :)

The day came when AMY and Mark had their wedding in St. Patrick's Church Portlaw followed by the RECEPTiON at the marquee in Piltown. It's my first time to encounter this kind of set-up (marquee) so I was excited and loved it! Something differrent especialy in Ireland :) And the weather was fabulous!

With regards to this particular wedding, I actually did the video part rather than the photography part but of course I managed to grab some shots too! If I may tell you briefly, I did and do some video work and editing too and I liked it.. I know, it's hard to be in between these world but they actually come in the same purpose and direction somehow! No wonder some DSLR companies are offering video and photo in the same machine.

Anyhow,I was assisted by my 2nd shooter, partner in crime Rodel Vargas. He was taking some stills which you'll see some below too!

Here are some photos..

Look at the beautiful Aimee..

The CAKE was fantastically cute :)

..Meant for each other!

a shot of the marquee..

Just as when the night ends, there was some Fireworks display! :)

..What a wonderful night! ...and a great start of their life, together Forever! :)

Here comes the SUN!

2009-06-01T12:58:00.004+01:00

We are definitely having a blast these days with the sunshine in Ireland! The word SUNSHiNE is like RAiN when you are in Saudi or middle east.. We went out and played with the camera, explored some sites too!

Have a look...

Just walking.. pretending like BONO!

BBQ @ Lisa's

2009-06-01T11:14:00.012+01:00

Last THURSDAY, 28th of June 2009 was forecasted to be the start of a good weather here in Ireland until at least TUE.. So, what did we do?!? Instead of goin out running or walking, we went to Lisa's house and had some BBQ.. gaining rather than losing,LOL!

Helen's First communion

2009-05-26T20:04:00.003+01:00

Last Sunday, 24th of May was another day of an event in some kids here in Waterford.. First communion where Helen had and her brother John.. It was a lovely day, nice and shine! A lucky day when you live in Ireland! :)

Here's a shot of Helen..

Presentation Primary School & St. Mary's School

2009-05-25T22:50:00.011+01:00

Presentation..

St. Mary's..

Ciara's First communion

2009-05-25T22:49:00.003+01:00

Another weekend, another communion.. That's what's the current situation this time of the year!

This time.. it's CiARA's first communion and it was indeed so memorable for her and her family of course.. :)

Here's Ciara..

Peter's Confirmation

2009-05-20T15:27:00.010+01:00

Confirmation is a huge event in kids lives especially here in Ireland.. Having said that, photos are the most common way of capturing that moment.. And so I was there to snap the moment when PETER had his confirmation..

These photos were taken at the same day of his confirmation.. All the setup was done at their own house, at his own comfort..

Cormack's First communion

2009-05-20T12:50:00.009+01:00

Kids having their first communion are always excited and CORMACK is no exemption to that.. As I was talking to this witty kid, he woke up at 6AM and was really excited! This kid is an artist in his own right. He enjoys singing, dancing and so much more into arts.

Here's a quick peek on his photo...

Niamh First Communion

2009-05-19T23:03:00.003+01:00

Here's another First communion photographs.. It was Niamh's 1st communion.. During the day itself, normally kids are all excited, they wake up way ahead their usual wake-up times.. Excitement doesn't only account for the communion itself but of course kids are kids, it's the day when they will have plenty of presents especialy some bobs! So, who wouldn't be excited ey?!

It was a lovely day that day, so I decided to have the shoot outdoor in such way, she'll remember when she grows up that it was a good weather that day too! (Lucky day in Ireland)..

Have a look at some photos...

Before I started taking the actual shots, I decided to ask Niamh to show me how the swing works (just to make her at ease first of course and started chatting)..

Now look how great the actual final photos came out..

Grace's X-ning!

2009-05-19T22:42:00.003+01:00

Welcome to the world GRACE!

Photographs are the most common medium on making such event memorable not only to the parents but to the child in which he or she can look back when he or she grows up!

Post processing wise, it was difficult for me to decide which one is better than the other coz they all look brilliant I must say :) So, I decided to load them all up!

Here's a photo of MOTHER and CHILD...

The 3 little Rascals

2009-05-19T18:30:00.003+01:00

It's been a good while since a good friend of mine UNA AYRES (the poker queen) wanted her grandsons to have their photos taken. But due to the hectic schedule, it wasn't possible to set a date until one day her grand daughter had her Christening and so we set the date.. But anyhow this post is about these 3 little cute McCABEs!

Here's a shot which could possibly be an add for GUESS KIDS? :D

Larry's First Communion

2009-05-18T23:45:00.005+01:00

Remmember CHLOE who had her confirmation few months ago? Now, it's her brother LARRY who had his First communion.. and here are some of the photos I've taken!

Please have a look...

Funny Faces!

Cool Family Shot...

Mophie Juice Pack AiR

2009-05-17T18:42:00.004+01:00

I believe it's NOT just myself who uses their iPHONEs a lot right?! So what's the downside of using it, turning on and off frequently, surfing the net through your coolest phone ever? Of course it eats up the battery a looot! I was once tempted to buy an external attachment where you can charge your iPHONE's internal battery by a regular AA batteries but it's a hassle really!

Now, here comes the MOPHiE JUiCE PACK AiR.. Oh man, it's soo cool! I'm a heavy iphone user but since I have it so far, it takes me 2-3 days to recharge again! What's also great thing about it, the mophie battery is actually encapsulated inside the cover which also acts as the protective covering of the iphone itself. The thickness is acceptable in a way. The texture is great too, same as the iphone's.

Take a look..

Sony Alpha HVL-F58AM Flash Gun

2009-05-17T18:24:00.003+01:00

Another addition to my arsenal is my NEW flashgun from SONY.. my newly bought HVL-F58AM which is a fantastic little thing amongst the flashguns out there! (in my perception so far).. It has a faster recycling time than my other Sony flashgun HVL-F56AM which was the Sony's former high end flashgun.

Have a quick look..

Here's a video clip...

Miss Sunday World 2009

2009-05-15T23:45:00.004+01:00

Last THURSDAY, 14th of May 2009 was the night when the new Miss Sunday World was crowned.. It was held at Samara Cafe Bar in Dublin City.. and guess what? WE were there to witness the event.. It was a great night.. Here's some photos:

Seemingly, the ladies got carried away..

Here's more..

..and lastly! :)

Sony Alpha 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM Carl Zeiss Lens

2009-05-15T20:25:00.008+01:00

Another exciting moment I had in Belfast was the fact that I had my NEW GLASS collected there at CALUMET.. Oh man this new glass is fantastic, it's razor sharp! and of course I love the bokeh it's producing! So brilliant! Though it's heavy but what do you expect with a tank built technology ey?! Maybe I'm just used to my prime SAL 50mm F1.4 lens and my Sigma 28mm F1.8 lens that's why :D But so far, this is a really great zoom lens, NO contest! :)

Here's a peek...

Here's some few samples taken with my new glass:

Camera used: DSLR Sony Alpha 700
Settings: AWB, No flash, ISO used ranges from 100-400, Focal lenght and Aperture varied

NO color correction, just straight capture!, resized in photoshop!

The Northern Ireland

2009-05-15T20:17:00.005+01:00

The most awaited driving experience to date were through just this week. We drove to the North to look around and stayed in BELFAST CiTY. It was indeed a great experience again.. I have been up north once before but never got the chance to roam around the outside counties but only this time, more time than before.. So here's some few photos to share :)

The GiANT CAUSEWAY...

JAi HO for MANNY "THE PACMAN" PACQUiAO

Everything paid off as THE FILIPINO's FIST (He's known for) MANNY WON the fight against RICKY HATTON by KO in 2nd ROUND just about 10seconds before the bell rings.. JAi HO (Indian words) means VICTORY in case you wonder?!?

Once again, I'm proud of my origin! Go PiNOY! :)

Heya lads!

I just happenned to scan my old video files and hmnn.. I found this one and thought why not put it on YOU TUBE and have a laugh!?! It's a fun fashion show for charity done in 2005 if I'm NOT mistaken?! Or maybe even 2006? Gosh, I'm not getting any younger..can't even remember! haha!

Anyhow, enjoy this one seriously ok?? :D

Mother and Sons

2009-04-19T16:23:00.011+01:00

When you talk about unconditional love, nevertheless you are saying it's the love of the MUM towards her child or children.

In this post, you can see the closeness of this mother and her playful sons..

Matt & Martin

2009-04-19T16:23:00.010+01:00

These brothers are such a nice combo in such a way they have a bit differences but they compliment with each other.. At the end of the day, Kuya (eldest) will end up as the eldest and the bunso (youngest) will always be the youngest if you know what I mean? :D

Meet MATT the youngest...

Meet Martin the eldest...

Confident..

Intelligent..

Let the games begin!!!

The PSP and the NINTENDO DS boys!

Pacman vs. Hatton TRAILER!

2009-04-13T14:02:00.007+01:00

Back home (Philippines), people adore boxing and basketball and I'm no exemption! I grew up watching MJ as in Michael Jordan playing basketball.. Thrilled in every play and AIRSHOW he did during that time.. And excited when there's a boxing fight I watched (of course if they're good fighters)..

As we are counting the days onto the BIG FIGHT of the CHAMP PACMAN and the brit challenger RICKY HATTON..(2nd of MAY) Here's some CLIPS that would tease you guys!

Sure, this is going to be memorable and a really good fight between the two furious fighters!

The Trailer...

F-show at the TOWER!

2009-04-08T22:15:00.005+01:00

Here's another FASHiON SHOW at the TOWER HOTEL.. Clothes from the LOCAL STORES around Waterford City..

Models from PRIMA MODEL AGENCY

Photographer: Don-K

Na na na na na na.. wanna be on top?!

2009-04-04T15:21:00.004+01:00

Perhaps MOST of the GiRLS or women recognise the tune or humn of my TiTLE post? Well, for those who don't, it's the soundtrack of America's Next Top Model (ANTM).. As a photographer, I watch them when it's ON the TV of course considering the fact that my wife does :) The following scenes were somehow inspired from the show..

Anyhow, this post is basicaly ALL about my recent first test shoot on my NEW purchased Lastolite continuous vinyl backdrop which is pretty good I'd say! And my new studio lights too!

Before, I used to light my subject with FLASH GUNS (indoor-model portfolios) which gave a good result too but there's a bit of downside on the recycling time. So, DC light strobes can make me go quicker..

Here's some photos to share..

Tech know how: Sony alpha 700 with SAL 50mm F1.4, Sigma 28-105mm F2.8-F4, Sigma 28mm F1.8... 4 DC light strobes (2 softboxes, 1 beauty dish, 1 backdrop light)

The JAPS food

2009-04-02T02:00:00.005+01:00

It's been since last weekend after WE had a walk when our friend LISA mentioned on the Japanese food particularly SUSHI. So, yesterday it happened! They came over to our place and the women prepared some sushi. It's a combination of RiCE, smoked salmon, mango, and cucumber rolled and wrapped with some dried seaweeds (locally found in Tesco?). Anyhow, they're lovely! Yummy! I know, here in Ireland Japs food is not popular but it is back home (Philippines)..Together with the sushi, they also decided to add SHRiMP TEMPURA and we dip them into a kikoman soy sauce and the infamous WASABI (green hot stuff that would sting your tongue!).

Here's some shots...

Beautiful...

Soy sauce and wasabi...

here's the green wasabi.. HOT!

Gorgeous...

Yummy!

Ready to eat...

Crunchy!

YOU must be STARVING by now,huh?! LOL! :)

Walking

2009-04-01T18:01:00.002+01:00

Walking, Striding, and especially the RUNNiNG are such popular here in WATERFORD City. Well, Ireland in general but as what I heard, DEISE' people are more into it and doing really good from across the board! :)

So, myself, my wife (of course) with another friends (couple) went on WALKiNG at the ring roads.. It was gasping somehow but we managed to go home safe and sound,lol!

Of course, since we just walked, I brought my sony camera and took some shots on a lovely sunny day! Here's some...

Layers

2009-03-24T16:50:00.003Z

Hi FOLKS!

SKYFEST in Waterford 14-03-09

2009-03-15T00:47:00.007Z

Here's a bit of diary and photos on the SKYFEST in WATERFORD earlier on.. It was the first day of the bank holiday SAiNT PATRiCK's DAY in IRELAND, Saturday.

There was a firework display which was apparently one of the biggest shows in Europe. It was fantastic indeed!

Before WE went to town, my wife put some FACE PAiNTiNG to our friend's sons that we were minding that day.. THEY loved it.. here they are!

WE thought before going to the QUAY, why not feed ourselves first?

This kid is so mad on PiZZA!

Some young lassies sparkling the evening...

As we were walking onto the quay.. saw the promotion of BEAT FM..

Some girlies enjoying the evening..

Scene near the stage..

As the evening went on.. Here came the FIREWORKS display... HURRAY!

Look at the CROWD!

I like this shot.. I didn't locked-focused her intentionally.. I was actually shooting up above my head as in I raised my hands and clicked..

I meant to just take photos of my wife and the kids and then take turns but out from nowhere, someone tapped me and offered to shoot US all together. When I looked at him, I recognised him.. Another PRO, a BIG MAN in photography.. GERRY O'CAROLL :)

People were rushing to go home..

We kinda felt a bit hungry but not so starving.. We decided to have something.. BEN and JERRY'S ICE CREAM..

ah, this boy just can't wait..

WE were waiting for the traffic to calm down actually in storm cinema.. Thought we might also watch a FLICK..

BUT the man at the till said this movie is for 16+ so, it means that's a wrap for the night.. Went home and processed this BLOG for YOU to enjoy! :)

SOME you tube clips..

Till next LADS! ;)

PRESS RELEASE
Waterford Healing Arts Trust Presents its Inaugural Fundraising Fashion Show

The Waterford Healing Arts Trust (WHAT) Ireland’s leading Arts and Health programme is delighted to announce details of its inaugural Fashion Show which will take place in Waterford Institute of Technology on Friday 20th March 2009 @ 19.30.

In tandem with the Fashion Show, a fashion-themed raffle offer a range of glamorous prizes including a hat by renowned Irish Designer Philip Treacy, a bag by Orla Kiely as well as a cookery demonstration and lunch at Ballymaloe and an original painting by Waterford artist Mary Tritschler.

All proceeds will go towards the running costs of the Waterford Healing Arts Trust. Based in Waterford Regional Hospital, the Trust brings live art experiences to the bedside of patients as well as to visitors and staff of the hospital as a means of improving the hospital experience for all.
The Trust has recently developed the new WHAT Centre for Arts and Health, the first of its kind in Ireland. This facility is an integral part of Waterford Regional Hospital and brings a long-standing relationship between arts and healing in this acute hospital to a new level. It features a multi-use studio space which will accommodate workshops in the Arts of all disciplines for a range of groups. This groundbreaking initiative will allow for greater integration with the community by providing a space for use by outpatients, inpatients, staff, visitors, artists, and community-based initiatives that is not institutional but is conducive to creative experiences.

In the words of Mary Baxter, Chair of the WHAT fundraising Committee, “This is the first Fashion Show of its kind that we have organised and already it is generating considerable interest among people in Waterford. It promises to be a glamorous and fun-filled event that will raise much-needed funds to support the ongoing good work of the Waterford Healing Arts Trust.”

Wedding Showcase 21st FEB '09

2009-02-26T22:29:00.010Z

Last weekend I was at the wedding showcase-Fair at the FAiTHLEGG HOTEL and country golf club, Waterford..

It is always nice to see trends in the wedding industry and meet other suppliers.. One of the latest trends in Ireland that I've seen and was particularly interested was the VIDEOBOOTH they call where guests can leave messages to the bride and groom without the hassle or nearly becoming embarrass from the person behind the video camera. In other words, it's a machine with video that stays at a certain corner and guests could just press a button and presto the video is rolling! The company providing that here in Ireland is BEST WISHES VIDEO BOOTHS.. Gary is the contact person.

More on the wedding showcase.. Here are some photos I've taken! Enjoy! :)

Every year comes a valentine's day.. Restaurants are fully booked at this time and day of the year.. It is the so called lovers' day! Every couple has their own ways of celebrating the romance they have.. It may be simple or extravagant.. But the most important is, the way HOW you celebrate the occassion..

For us, it was simple :)

When SHE woke up today.. Here's what she saw..

As she woke up.. Here's what she replied back on me..

My ALBUM collections

2009-02-14T16:55:00.004Z

Talking about MY ALBUM collections.. They come with mini ones, of course it depends on the couple if they want to have mini duplicates of their main album. Though I would always suggest to have those mini ones because it's handy for them to bring in to their work to show co-workers during their breaks and of course to give souvenir to their parents.

Here are some shots of my wonderful suitably FAB sample albums collectively selected from different top album companies.. :)

My COFFEE TABLE BOOK COLLECTIONS album

My KISS COLLECTIONS album

2009-01-27T19:30:00.004Z

Hello folks, last SATURDAY, 24th of JANUARY 2009 was the BIG DAY of another beautiful couple ANNE MARiE and JUSTiN.. It was a civil wedding held at the 5 star LYRATH ESTATE HOTEL, Kilkenny.. mind you,the bride says they wanted everything to be just simple.. how simple is 5 star ey? :)

When I first surveyed the location of the ceremony and reception which was the said hotel, I was pleased coz the EVENT coordinator named EMMA was so helpful. She showed us around and was amazed how FAB and HUGE the hotel is then eventually offerred us some complimentary coffee.. Thanks! :)

Anyhow,I've known the groom for i think 3 years now coz we happenned to be at work together at one point..

With regards to photography.. The bride wanted to have an unpose photos which is what i do like most.. I was happy that at the end of the day NOT only the bride but the guests were delighted with the photos which I put on as SLIDE SHOW at one corner..

These images were captured from GETTING READY till the DANCING PART..

I'd like to thank my TEAM for being so good during the day.. My wife and my second shooter RODEL VARGAS..

Anyhow, here are the images..

Miss Nadia Curran

2009-01-18T16:57:00.007Z

Fashion,Modeling,Shopping,Shoes are all part of girly thingy they call :) Having so much stuff about modeling on TV such as ANTM (if you haven't watch TELE for fews years now,i wonder where were you?) it's the acronym for AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL and some more countries having the same concept, has become phoenomenal to teenagers now a days, Well, i suppose modeling starts from puberty period? But anyhow,the photo session you'll see from scrolling down are the images of this young lass from where else? Another DEiSE' GiRL named NADiA CURRAN. It was cute that her MUM actually dropped her for the shoot (thought she'd stay and cheer).

If I may say something about HER.. SHE's an ARIES which has an element of FIRE and a planet of MARS.. has the qualities of SELF-CONFIDENT,ambitious,SPIRITED,adventurous,DYNAMIC,enthusiastic,BORN LEADER,magnetic personality,PIONEER,spontaneous,ASSERTIVE,daring and charming.. and if I may continue the description of an ARIES? They are spontaneous lover and a good kisser! :)

Enjoy the photos ayt?

Some photos from BEHIND THE SCENE...

Oopsy.. my lovely wife was actually behind me at this stage.. LOL!

Hope you enjoyed scrolling down lads! ;)

Collage

2009-01-09T22:50:00.004Z

One of the ways to say THANK YOU to your guests is having a photo collage of your wedding photos sent like this :)

Thanks michelle for allowing me to show this :)

Gratitude!

2009-01-08T20:10:00.003Z

Here is some notes to say THANK YOU again for those who appreciated my work since I started doing MODEL PORTFOLiO,fashion photography.. I can't help my ears flying when I read those lovely comments coming from other models (from Ireland) who would like to work with me sometime and as well as those who inquired to have their photos taken by yours truly.. WHEW!those are the things that makes a photographer continue doing good and better and best with their craft! ..Gosh,my love for photography is kind of becoming obsessive compulsive syndrome already,HAHAHA! I really wanted to look everyone at their best.. Thanks also photoshop! HAHAHA! ;)

So,lads expect to see more of the model portfolios and some theme photoshoot to come up! In other words,stay tune! :)

Cheerio! ;)

And these are those moments...

Woman of Honour

2008-12-06T22:52:00.004Z

The title of this post derived from the expectant MUM named HONORAH which is an Irish name that means "woman of honour"... the actual fact, it was me who was honoured to capture the moment of celebration between this lovely couple on their soon to come baby girl.

This soon to come baby is so special to them since it's the FIRST ONE! Oh, how exciting!

These series were shot in their own home.. Snapping away some pieces of their moments, of their life..

taking some rest..

feeling the movements of their baby..

as PAVEL(the hubby) looked at her lovely wife..

making sure that she's safe.. secured!

showing the love and care to his wife..

thanking HER for having their baby..

As the soon to be DAD plays with the baby boots..

YES indeed, it's a GIRL.. how cute! ;)

as the DAD says, we're here waiting for you baby..

More LOVE.. sweet!

Isn't it gorgeous and wonderful?

Bringing life into this world is magnificent.. (This is one of my favourite shots)

See how contented and secured Honorah is?

The future is coming...

She is the ONE

Well lads, you might wonder where am I on the last few weeks? Ah,I was stretching my arms,back,legs in the sunny California! In a needless to say LA LA Land as in Los Angeles the "city of angels"..

It wasn't my first time to be there coz my family is actually living there but it feels my first everytime I go there since I don't live there (does it make sense?hehe).

We also went to the "Sin City" LAS VEGAS,NEVADA... it's always awesome to be there! Like people don't care what you do(maybe as long as in a good way) hehe..

My holiday was tiring but it was a good tire as they say,hehe!

Anyways'here are some photos I've taken...

In ALL the weddings I have covered and or been through here in Ireland, there is NO WAY that guests wouldn't get off from their sits and wouldn't dance on the floor when the BAND or DJ starts to mention or plays the "GALWAY GIRL" song (featured in PS I LOVE YOU film-movie starring Gerard Butler-the emperor from 300 who shouted "this is sparta" opposite Hilary Swank... and hmn, I tell you this has become my favourite as well after watching that movie so when it's played I couldn't stop stomping my foot or feet while taking some candid shots,hehe!
