As promised, here’s more from Ezat & Linda’s wedding!
Guests, friends, and relatives, you can view the full gallery and order prints here or by clicking on Proofing above.:) (password hint: bride’s surname)

Linda’s mum wasn’t up to attending, so we made a special trip to her home on the way to the wedding.

The wedding was held at the Everglades Hotel in Derry. The event manager, James, and his staff were fantastic in looking after the couple, guests, and vendors and kept things running smoothly. Linda & Ezat, thank you for being so fantastic to work with. I wish you a long and happy marriage!

Wedding season is upon us, and I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Linda & Ezat’s wedding on Saturday.  I had a brilliant time, and I’m looking forward to going through all the photos. Here are a few teaser shots from the day:

I promise I’ll post more soon.

Linda & Ezat: Congratulations!  The full gallery should be ready in about two weeks – I can’t wait to share it with you.

p.s. Happy Easter!

With it comes British Summer Time, my daughter’s birthday, wedding season, and daffodils! They’re my mom’s favourite flower, and they always make me smile.

Wedding season officially begins Easter weekend for Over the Rainbow Photography. I can hardly wait. The introductory wedding specials are valid on all bookings made by 31/03/2010, so get in touch soon if you’re interested. On that note, there was a glitch in the contact form this morning. It has now been updated and tested and is working fine. Customer satisfaction is of paramount importance to me, and I try to respond to every message within 24 hours. If you haven’t received a reply to your email or phone message within 2-3 working days please assume I haven’t received it and try again. If Naomh the New Year’s Eve bride sees this, please resend your query or email me directly as I got your message but no contact details! I would love to meet with you to discuss your wedding photography needs.

This is an old photo taken with a point&shoot camera, but that doesn’t make me like it any less.

Happy spring, everyone!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mums out there.

I was treated to a box of chocolates and a relaxing day spent with my favourite people. Bliss!

An engagement session (pre-wedding photo shoot) is a great chance to get to know your photographer and become more comfortable in front of the camera before your big day. It’s also an opportunity to get images to use in guestbooks, save the date cards, a display at the wedding, or just to have some nice relaxed photos of you and your partner.

I offer a complimentary engagement shoot with any wedding package booking. If you book a couple’s shoot with me and then subsequently book a wedding package (within 60 days), I’ll even credit the session fee toward your package price. Of course, you don’t have to be engaged to schedule a couple’s photo session! It can be a fun way to celebrate an anniversary or just say ‘I love you.’

I have a bad case of spring fever. These slightly longer, sunny days remind me that spring is just around the corner. I am itching to put away the big coat! I guess I can be patient – after all, I do love the absolutely gorgeous late winter light:

You may have noticed the new ‘Weddings’ tab in the menu up there. I’m very excited about it and will post more soon!

Hey all!

I’ve just partnered with a great charity organisation called the Littlest Heroes Project. Their aim is to honour children with serious illnesses and life-altering disabilities and spread awareness of their courage while we work toward treatments and cures. Participating families are connected with a professional photographer in their area who helps capture the beauty and hope in their everday lives.

I am thrilled to be a participating photographer, but now I need your help spreading the word! Do you know a little hero who deserves his/her own special portrait session? Direct them to http://littlestheroesproject.org. Email this blog post to friends and family, so they can spread the word as well. Print the images found below this post and hang them up (with permission, of course!) in GP’s and specialists’ offices, church bulletin boards, childcare centres, and anywhere else they might be spotted by qualifying families. Contact me if you’d like hard copies, and I’ll be happy to post some out to you.

Thank you for your support!

Meet my cat, Lily.

She adopted my family as her own just before christmas. She has a really quiet meow and a funny, high-pitched purr. I haven’t had a pet since my dog passed away when I was 15, (Fish don’t count.) and I love having a critter around the house again! I set myself a challenge recently to follow her around outside and get at least one nice shot of her. Here are a few of my favourites.

She’s quite a little beauty, isn’t she?

Glossy. Gorgeous. Custom.

I’ve been searching for mini albums that don’t have to be shipped from overseas, and these are just perfect. No more cutting and gluing for me, and my clients can enjoy a beautiful polished product made in the UK. I was so excited when I opened the parcel I was tempted to run outside shouting, ‘The new phonebooks are here!’ Ha.

These little 3×3 beauties have space for up to 10 images from your session inside, plus personalised front and back covers. Each comes with a customised sleeve, perfect for keeping the album safely closed while being carried in your handback or back pocket.

Accordion mini albums make a fantastic gift, and since they’re packaged as a set of 3 for £75 you get to keep one (or more ) for yourself as well! Extra albums (same design) may be added on for £20 each when ordered at the same time.

Book your session today to be one of the first to enjoy these beautiful new albums.

Next week I have a momentous birthday coming up. That’s right, I’m turning 30! Yikes! I’m really looking forward to seeing what surprises are in store for me this year. This may just be the year I learn to walk in heels properly and venture into shooting weddings – um, but not at the same time! Time for the birthday special. (drumroll, please)

Plus, take £30 off the price of any framed print or canvas gallery wrap 12×16 or larger!
Restrictions: Session includes up to 5 people. (You may add additional subjects for £10 each.)

Now is a great time to celebrate your Valentine’s engagement with a couple’s shoot or get those family portraits done for Mother’s Day! Just contact today to discuss your requirements and book your session.

Cheers,
Jenny
