Wedding; The Perfect Venue in Ireland



We have seen lots of proposal clips from running to cinema surprising the bride asking for her hand and the latest Asus ads by using handheld devices. However, we don't really see behind the scene of where the location actual taken place. There are lots of wedding photographer doing the pre wedding album. Many have turn the direction to Indonesia and some exotic island of Thailand. I think its time to highlight Ireland as a destination.


Ireland is rich in culture, history, beautiful castle, scenic landscape, and many more. Europeans are slowly picking up the trend through the Asian way of holding a reception. Big albums, banners, small books laid on the table for guest to see, mingle and introductions of the couples, places they went, memories captured.


From the pastel mountains of Wicklow Mountains to the extra vibrant colors of Killarney Rings of Kerry, the dull and dramatic night shot behind the backdrop Rock of Cashel to the night life of Dublin Bridges. You see the most interesting backdrop which have been created for centuries.


Regardless of what religion you are, what ceremony you wanted, there are few well known castle that can arrange the rite of marriages.


From old Gothic Church to the 21st Century Church, you find it across the 32 counties in Ireland. Hotel rooms are easily available in any counties, equipment rental for photography need is not a problem.


Many privately own property does not allow commercial photography such as wedding and so forth, but with advance notice and application, some would allowed for personal weddings.


Dublin is rather safe to do photography even in the busy Liffey river at nightfall. Maybe you could bump with a few tipsy yokes but they harmless. Tell me how many countries in the world you notice police that doesn't carry gun. You won't see it here, that determine the level of safety zone. So No fear factor here.


Ireland have the largest Park in Europe, right in the heart of city, you can find at least 5 beautiful parks plus a Botanic Garden. And in any county, you will find bridges form the oldest in Europe to the most famous Bridge in Connemara.


Location to any parts of the country take you a journey of less than 4 hours or could be 4 mins and that depends on which place you fancy. Food and lodging  are reasonable here. People are friendly, the streets are safe, the roads sign are written in English so you have no problem travelling. No matter what season you come, there are beauty in every occasion. Although they have 4 season in a day, you can easily cope with it. After all Love can defies all obstacles.


Autumn is here, this year we have a pretty long summer. If you planning your wedding or just a visit, make Ireland you destination to see. Don't take my word for it, experience yourself. The land of great achievement.
Discover Ireland and from me to you with lots of Irish love.


                                               Start counting all the loves from Ireland.

Carlingford the road to the North

In search for the best butcher, I travel the way up north east of Ireland. I am not looking for craftsmanship on how they display their products. I just wants to find the best meat. Don't tell me about Tesco, Superquinn , Sainsbury, or the local butcher in Dublin. Not up to expectations.


Mesmerized by the beauty of mountains surrounded Carlingford. We accidentally discovered Slieve Foy, the view is breathtaking.

I know you wouldn't believe it. Yes! there are leprechauns in Ireland, only if you can see them, Carlingford is a beautiful quiet farming village.


No we didn't expect to see a carnival out here, we were just passing by and so happen its the last day of Oyster Festival in Carlingford.


We better get moving as the weather seems not promising, stop by the road side to let the my little boys to have a pee pee and can't stop capturing the different shades of shadows and lights.


I have been standing in this spot capturing the different season for the past 7 years. Every pictures is totally different. I said to myself I will display the entire collection on this canal. Its one of the biggest man made canal in Europe, used to shipped coal to UK during the early 1700's.


Halfway between Carlingford and Newry lies a secret mountain with full of edible and poisonous mushroom. Kind of a ritual, as we love wild mushroom.


To many from the Tropical Climate, they might think what a beautiful landscape. Actually, the land are unable to plant much species that can withstand the climate and furthermore the soil is less than 1 metre thick in most places. Unlike the equatorial climate, they have vast land of virgin jungle. But for the benefits of individual richness. The supreme power Ministers destroy the land and sell the timbers with a pretense of boosting the economy by planting Palm Oil.


Would you want these to happen in Sarawak? Here, they really put every effort to grow trees and save the earth.




Time to head home, we found our nice steak, if you look for a job, don't waste your time, there ain't any.


These are the beauty queens of Carlingford having some fun.
