Create a splash with a Ni Riain Photography Equine Portrait

This recent Equine Family portraits in Rush Co. Dublin was great fun. I arrived to perfect light with three delightful children and their beautiful ponies. As we drove to Rush Beach I saw the perfect light, they say the best landscape light is after rain and high wind all the dust particles are surpressed and the light is brilliant and clear. Getting this shot involved a few takes but cantering up the beach was a pure joy to the children and can be seen in the portrait.

They often say the portrait is behind you – (When you focus on the location in front, look behind you, the shot is often their not where you are looking). The children had to trot down to the beech to get to the location I was focused on  the beautiful blue sky in front of me with Lambay Island. The light in this portrait reminded me instantly of Japanese Landscape 14th century, monochrome Art – with delicate interplay between light and mist,

Family portrait with Grandads Tack box

As I drove into the stables, the beautiful listed building with its layers of colour and beautiful architecture caught my eye. The minute I saw the Dune & grey ponies I felt the background with compliment and echo in the portrait. The Grandads vintage tack box added to the portrait.

Enchanted Occassions I regularly meet at Dromoland Castle. Ian and his team create inspirational talking points throughout the wedding, down to the smallest of details, they are renowned for their floral designs and provide Bridal Bouquets, Button Holes, Church Flowers and spectacular table centrepieces. They also specialise in lighting effects, draping, stationery and unusual props.

Below are a selection of photos from the wedding of Aisling Toomey and Joe Murray wedding. The church was the Holy Trinity in Adare & reception was in Dromoland Castle.

The wedding theme was purple elegance and was created by Enchanted Occasions. The church was tastefully decorated and looked stunning and ambient. When I arrived at Aisling’s house, all the family were admiring the creative bouquets. Finally, the decor in Dromoland from the kincora gallery to the Brian boru hall were simply breathtaking. All the tables were individually spot light and the tall elegant silver candelabras created a very special atmosphere for all the guests. Their top table was a round table and Enchanted Occasions gave it special treatment through their floral design and a draped feature.
