A grand wedding in Adare


I recently shot a wedding in Adare for the second time. I shot my first ever wedding as a second shooter in Adare in fact. This time round it was the wedding of Darragh and Fiona. The wedding was in Adare church and the reception in Adare Manor itself.

Adare is a popular location for weddings. The village itself is picturesque. I've seen some shots of couples here and there are frequently taken at the Public Park and the Abbey. Both locations are nice but it's just not very original as locations. So myself and my second shooter scouted the location, explored potential ideas. Try to see things little differently. While our ideas are not completely original, but I think it was adapted well to location.


I must say I was blessed with the fact that Fiona and Darragh were a good looking couple and have no problem posing for the camera. It certainly makes life very easy. A check out her dress, very sex in the city, just pure class.

We didn't do too many strobist style shooting here as we didn't have much time to play with lights. The ambient light in the location was perfect for dramatic lightings. Check out the images , I'm sure you'll agree with me.

Almost got sabotaged by the door man in the above image. The door was initially open, I had manually metered with the door open. Then without warning, he closed the door and boy did the light in the church drop by at least a stop and a half. I was rather worried this wasn't going to expose properly but it turned out great.

What a beautiful couple. Totally relaxed in front of the camera and the pictures show.
I'll link to the full album when it's ready to go. For more information about my wedding services, please check http://www.wakphotography.com/. Thanks for reading.
