Woodard Photography are Fearless

So this is the great news we mentioned the other day,for those of you that follow us will  know, we're not big into telling you how amazing we are or how amazing our clients are or what amazing weddings we shoot. We just post some pretty cool images and let you decide if you think it's amazing. Judging by the amount of work we are extremely lucky to have on, we think we have found what works best for us and the clients we attract.

But every now and then we feel like saying a bit more.  Fearless Photographers are a worldwide collaboration of what is considered to be some of the best wedding photographers out there. We are delighted to be joining this group and this will make our work available to a much wider audience. 

We are very excited about being part of this and wanted to share some of the images we put forward in our portfolio for acceptance.

Ciara & Mike Ballintaggart House

Ciara & Mike travelled back from Norway to Ballyferriter in Dingle to get married, bringing a great mix of cultures to the area. Ballintaggart House was their choice of venue and if you have been there you will understand why, if not it's definetly one to visit. The heavy mist that fell late afternoon added more drama to an already dramatic landscape.

The arrival of the bride is always a special moment on  any wedding day,church aisles and entrances vary and do enhance a photograph dramatically. It had been a while since we shot in Holy Cross church in Tipperary and we had forgotton how stunning the aisle walk is here for any bride.

Never judge a lady until you have walked in her shoes..

and these are some pretty serious shows! I would love to say this collection is in my wardrobe, I'm working on that but until then at lease I get to look at them anytime I like.

New Beginnings

 

Following on from the "Bump" shoot, I met up with this family a few weeks back and enjoyed seeing how Aine was taking to her new brother. Love the interaction between everyone and captured some more memories for them. It was fantastic to be allowed into such a personal time for them.

If you trust your instincts enough to let events run their natural course and anticipate the end result, it will 99.9% of the time reward you with an image that will always be better than something that you try to contrieve. Its more natural,it has the people within the image looking more relaxed and most importantly from our point of you it looks totally believable and any perspective client can see themselves within the frame of the image.

The image above we think ticks all of the boxes and more importantly the girls did not even realise it was being taken, something we pride ourselves in achieving is not being noticed.

The Chain Muiris Crowley link 2

Just one sentence to explain why I do what I do everyday and why I love it.

'My day begins, my day ends. When I sleep I dream. When I wake I am me. Sometimes I like to be someone else. It helps me figure out exactly who I am'

I have only met Muiris this year for the first time,you may recall a photoshoot Ev did with him through the summer, I cannot but admire his strentgh and determination to succeed in his chosen field. By his own admission the rejections far outwiegh the selection for roles either in Theatre or in front of camera,but the truimphs push him more than the rejections and he moves on.

Having had a successful run in the Cork Opera House recently with Shakespears 'Winters Tale" we finally got together on stage at Siamsa Tire where he was playing the lead as Michael Collins for a five night run of the Musical having played the part at the start of the year to huge acclaim and for which he won an award.

A role in a historical documentary for TG4 is next on the agenda which is all being filmed before xmas.

To keep stepping up yo the plate is all you can do and Muiris certainly will keep doing that.
