🥳👏🏻 BRAVO FOLKS 👏🏻🥳

I just love documenting weddings at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Sligo.
Well done Denise & team, The new ballroom looks fantastic 👏🏻

This has hit me hard today.

Firstly, I can’t believe, I’m the same age as him and to die so young has frightened the hell out of me!

I grew up watching Dawsons Creek.
My wife & I use to love to listen to the CD soundtrack every time we drove home from Dublin when we were dating.

Our 2nd date was watching “Varsity Blues” in the Ambassador Theatre at the top of O’Connell St in Dublin when it use to be a cinema.

So, I’m here listening to the melodies of Paula Cole & P.J. Olsson while editing weddings and it takes me back to a time before mortgages, weddings & kids, when we were carefree and had our whole lives ahead of us in the early 2000’s.

I’m proud of what we’ve achieved but now I’m 48 and I need constant motivation to keep focused on changing for the better .

In January, I took a hard look in the mirror and didn’t like what I saw. An overweight 48 year old grey haired dude with sleep apnea and fondness for chips and chocolate (not at the same time).

So back in January, I decided to change my bad habits and try to live a better life so I will be around to see my own daughters get married.

I joined a gym ( 😭) and I’m trying to eat healthier and getting regular checkups with my GP.

Days like this give me the motivation to keep going.

So, for any of my Gen X friends, take note of JVDB passing as a kick in the ass to get healthy and enjoy life !

RIP Dawson. 💔

Still recovering from a wild weekend at the .p.p.v.a Conference & Gala. It was a fantastic experience to meet so many photographers & videographers from across Ireland that have such passion and dedication that I can’t help but feel love for what we do and a spirit of community and friendship.

Unfortunately,I didn’t win this year but it was a great night to be even in the running with such fantastic wedding photographers across Ireland

Congrats to and on their wins in the wedding categories, truly deserved and to the phenomenal images by the finalists as seen in the pics here.

It only encourages me to keep upping my game, try new things and maybe next year, I might be bringing home some IPPVA glass 🤞

A brilliant moment for Jacqueline and Jason and one that had everyone smiling before the celebration. tradition you will only ever see at an Irish country wedding. 🌾🤍

A rural wedding tradition, hay bales dressed as the bride and groom, and a surprise sign inspired by Father Ted, complete with a very familiar scene. 🌾😂

A brilliant moment for Jacqueline and Jason and one that had everyone smiling before the celebrations continued.

Two things I quietly create on the wedding day.
Family Frames for parents, and a small album for the couple.

Unexpected, meaningful, and always emotional.
Something printed, something real, something they can take home before the night ends 🤍

Your wedding day does not end after the speeches ✨

Some of the most honest moments happen later on. When the formalities fade, the nerves are gone, and everyone is fully themselves on the dancefloor 💃🕺 That is when the energy shifts and the real memories unfold.

Staying for the dancing means your gallery tells the full story 🤍 From the anticipation in the morning to the laughter, movement, and joy that fills the room at night. These are often the images couples come back to again and again.

If you want your photos to reflect how the day truly felt, not just how it looked, that extra time makes all the difference ✨

If you are planning your wedding and want coverage that captures it all, feel free to reach out 💬 I would love to chat through what works best for your day.

Most couples tell me the same thing after their wedding.
They did not realise how much having the right photographer would shape the day itself.

It is not about posing or performing.
It is about feeling comfortable, supported, and fully present while everything unfolds.

That is always my focus.
To let the day happen naturally, while quietly capturing the moments that matter most.
