Summer is finally on the way! Well at least the bright evenings anyway. I love studying the work of photojournalists and photographers from the last century. I have a great book of images by Elliott Erwitt. He did his best work before I was born with a fantastic eye for the unusual as well as the humorous side of life. What often seemed to be simple images had hidden meaning often missed at first glance. I’d like to think if he was around Ballyseede Castle on this day that he would not have missed this image (my personal favourite of the month)!

Here are some other favourites from my April weddings:

My e-mail and contact form are now up and running once again. If you have sent any e-mails on Tuesday 1st or Wednesday 2nd April, please re-send now. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

My new website finally went live today. An overhaul was long overdue but I’ve kept it as simple and clean looking as possible and hopefully it is now an easier viewing experience. The blog still needs some work to bring it up to date but I’ll get there with that shortly.

As with all things technical, the last hour is always the hardest! My e-mail is currently down and I expect it to be so for 24-48 hours while I have the new server addresses sorted. If you need to contact me before then, please call me on +353 87 0573438.

In the meantime have a look!                  http://www.niallmcgann.com

For 2008 and 2009, I decided to limit the number of weddings that I would take on. I’ve taken some downtime at the start and end of the year to concentrate on some other projects.

Patricks weekend is as good as any to kick start the season properly so it was off to Kenmare to catch up with Aoife and Gavin. Kenmare is picture postcard country as Aoife well knows (being in the local post office!!) so I had to put her in the scenery here and there around town.

Apologies to anyone not able to access my website this week. I am closing off the current site and launching a brand spanky new one. It may be down temporarily over the next few days during the transition.

The current client gallery pages are still accessible however on:

Thanks!

We took our eldest (he’s 10…) to the beach yesterday for the laugh. He loves it - really enjoys his swim! I have been asked for ages to get some shots of him but he’s a tricky subject. Anyway we got some good stuff for hanging at home. In case anyone has an interest in horses, he’s a gelded Irish Sporthorse, a cross between an Irish draught stallion (Prospect Pride) and a thoroughbred mare. A great all rounder who has done it all. Here are some shots:
