Catching up
Melissa June 17th, 2010
Things have been really busy for me for the past few months- something I am definitely complaining about! I have been focusing (excuse the pun) on keeping all of my work up to date and improving what I can offer to all of my clients. This has led to me ignoring my blog, something which I am going to attempt to change going foward now. I love sharing current work and have had really good feedback in the past so, although I won’t make any promises, I will do my best to keep posting here. Thanks so much to my clients and anyone who takes the time to read my blog, I really appreciate it.
I have made some changes in how I do my post wedding work and I hope that this will make me more efficient in the future. Until I get this system up and running I want to post a few teaser images from the last few weddings that I photographed to tide my couples over until I have the web galleries and slideshows up and running.
Thanks again everyone and enjoy the beautiful weather we are promised!
2009-The Year in Review
Melissa January 26th, 2010
A little later than usual (I blame my trip to Nashville but more on that later…) I have completed my 2009 year in review highlights slideshow. It really was a fantastic year and I hope that my clients enjoyed the time we spent together as much as I did. I found it so difficult to narrow down my favourite shots of the year to just over one hundred- my first shortlist had 1,300 favourites!
There are so many photos that I had to reluctantly leave out- maybe I should do a directors cut ![]()
I want to thank my my two very talented assistant photographers, Mike Patterson and Angelo Mercone, who helped me throughout the year and who have photos included in this show. But mostly I would like to thank my wonderful brides and grooms of 2009 for allowing me the honour of witnessing and recording such a special day for them.
Drumroll please…

Thank you for veiwing and best wishes for 2010.
summer holiday
Melissa August 29th, 2009
I’m a bit late posting this but better late than never. I am over in the states at the moment on a little holiday. I’d like to say we are enjoying the summer sun but, alas, we are practically drowning in topical storm Danny- Oh Danny boy! We did have a few good days so I won’t complain. I hope you are all getting better weather back in Ireland now. I’ll be back at work during the first week of September- looking foward to a few weddings and catching up on the last couple of weddings I shot. When everything settles down I will post up some new favourite photos- I already have a few in mind.
In the meantime here are a few photos from used to be sunny New York:



making a splash in Mulranny
Melissa August 1st, 2009
Ok- the weather has not been great lately. Understatement. So, when the sun does grace us with its appearance there should be jubilant celebrations. Luckily I was fortunate enough to have a wedding party that did just that when the sun shone for us on the beach in Mulranny.
Kathleen and Anthony as well as their bridal party even went so far as to dip there toes into sea and do a bit of frolicking.
