In the heart of the Gaeltacht again…

I went down to another good Kerry Gaeltacht region for the wedding of Helena and Gavin. They braved the cold weather to get down to a local beach for some great shots before heading for the Malton in Killarney.

Helen & John

A good Kerry wedding but we headed further up to the west coast to Clare for the service and the reception. The bad weather held off so we got to play with a helicopter for the day - always a bonus when you are caught for time!

It was a good dry day for November and the attentive staff at Dromoland Castle make any wedding a bit more special.

fungi lives on…

Fungi is the infamous solitary dolphin that lurks around the mouth of Dingle harbour. Where did he come from and why did he stay? Who really knows. I always assumed he was part myth (for the tourists) or some rubber prop (ala JAWS) towed behind a boat but according to the skipper of the Lady Laura, it’s the same dolphin out there for the past 24 years…

Instead of all the usual locations for photographs, Nikki & Colm booked a boat trip to go and find him. A bit brave for November but very enjoyable and well worthwhile.

Kilts and castles

Kilts are always colourful and fun for a wedding and Ross Castle in Killarney seemed to add to the theme of this Scots/Irish wedding.

Jeanette & Niall

A great young couple married at the ever popular Fossa Church recently with the reception at the Brehon Hotel in Killarney. Great first name on this groom and a very cool dress on this bride!

Kerry from the air

Up to now I have dodged helicopters but Kerry being the place that it is, I just had to go up on this one. I’d recommend it to anyone to take the chance if you get it as it really does give you a unique perspective on the countryside. It certainly helped in this wedding as we got three locations in as well as the trip back to the Hotel in about an hour - impossible any other way! That was followed up by a very good reception at the Ballygarry House Hotel in Tralee. This is one of the few hotels around that can cater for 300+ guests and still manage to get the food spot on.
