Where would we all be without the lads – the Grooms!? B
Folks often ask me ‘Brian, what if it rains on wedding day?’. I often reply: ‘so what if it rains – I’m waterproof!’ Here’s an image from a wedding I am editing at the moment, it rained, but we all survived ;-) BT

Just a snip from one of my Christmas weddings…seems like ages ago now. Taking some time off blogging for the start of the New Year. Meeting lots of great people for 2012/2013…will be back with some extreme blogging shortly! BT

It’s always crazy this time of year, the Christmas Orders, the Christmas Weddings, then what do you know but New Year decides to throw it’s hat in the mix. It’s fair to say 2012 has flown. A big THANK YOU to all my clients who, over the last year, have put their trust in me to document one of the most important days of their lives.
I’ve been through most counties in the Republic of Ireland and worked with Brides and Grooms who come from a handful of continents. I’ve met hundreds of brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers – all as important to me as my couples are. I’ve revisited the homes of families for the second and even third time this year. Amongst the old, I’ve made countless new friends and had the usual, obligatory, crazy wedding moments, ask me ;-)
So as 2011 fade, a sincere thank you for keeping the Brian Terry Photography dream alive. 2012 is a big year for me, I’m 10 years in business. So to all of you from Zita and Paudie (my first ‘official’ clients back in July 2002) to Clare and Eoin (my last wedding, today December 31st, 2011) and all who have booked me for coming wedding seasons, as an old photographer friend of mine always says, there’s only a few jobs out there where you get a hug when you finish up work. Looking forward to 2012…let’s hope the Mayans are wrong. BT

It’s that time of year when weddings are thin on the ground, but completed albums are flying out door. Speaking of flying, this is just off the ‘plane, it’s Susan and Barry’s fabulous 14×10 inch Pagemount Album (horizontal), in (you guessed it) ever popular Tangerine. Handmade and bookbound featuring fluffy to touch Ivory Pages and Mats – it’s a real head turner. The album, the final result of a couple of real-life test-runs, was delivered last weekend just in time for ‘Christmas 2011′ – a couple of years on, you’ll note, from the May 2009 wedding date. See, you can’t rush everything in life. Great to catch up with you both, albeit briefly, in Limerick last weekend, Susan, Barry. BT

Beautiful!
I can still remember the e-mail Esmé sent me. ‘We would like to book you, we’re long time fans of your work..’. A deposit arrived the next day. A couple of months later we met in Dublin and I found out what long time meant. Esmé had been working with one of my first clients, Rachel, who’s wedding I photographed way back in 2003 in Booterstown. She had seen the album when Rachel brought it to work and said ‘I’ll be booking Brian when the time comes…’. Happy days! Esmé and Kevin married last month on a lovely (somewhat showery) autumnal day in Ranelagh Church and onto The K-Club, Straffan, Co. Kildare. I witnessed an amazing day being had by all and a couple of former clients popped up in the congregation – as often happens. I’ll miss Esmé & Kevin’s upcoming wedding booking in my calendar. It’s was one of those bookings that you were looking forward to simply because of the story attached to it. And, like all good things, when it’s over you want to do it all again, buy alas, we all know that’s not how this life works. Having said that, who knows, maybe we’ll be seeing each other again at some friends weddings, maybe in 2012 or maybe 2021… ;-) BT

Awesome coverage of a wedding!
November 28, 2011 - 2:34 pm
What a stunning bride! What a happy couple! What an amazing day! How we all enjoyed sharing it with you so so much!

Oh my…… the most beautiful of photographs but you did have a beauty to work with…. stunning.
This is a fabulous Mint Buckram (a linen material) covered 14×10 inch, vertical, Pagemount Wedding Album with Mist Mats and Ivory Pages. Hot off the press and collected by a very happy Bride and Groom earlier today. The album is completely hand made, even down to the old-school metal page edge protectors. The colour and finish of it is just amazing. Twoards the end of the post you’ll see a smaller copy Parent Album (7×5 inch) in a velvet bag. They picked up two of these – one for each of their sets of Parents for Christmas. Love it x 2. BT

Cute! Cute! Cute!
Here is a fabulous album! It’s of Fiona and David’s wedding at the Dunraven Arms, Co. Limerick from a few months ago (you may remember it from an earlier blog post) it’s a 10×10 inch Micro Leather cover in Powder Blue. Images are displayed in overlay mounts over thick ivory mats – it opens lay-flat with a 20×10 inch spread. This quality product has an amazing tactile feel to it…the one thing I love about albums is the variety, there is so many shapes, sizes and finishes – this one is just so soft. BT

Beautiful girl! Congrats.
You may remember this young man! Oran, I did a blog post a while back. We did a shoot for his second birthday with his Mum and Dad. This fabulous 10×7 inch Portrait Book arrived yesterday. Quality. The book is made with the best of materials and beautifully boxed. It got a blue coloured bookbinder’s material cover and features a translucent intro page, clean crisp design and you can just about make out the textured paper it’s printed on – fabulous. As I’ve always said, you don’t do a shoot too often, but when you do, do it right with some decent products. This is going to be worth it’s weight in gold in 20 years time. BT

Beautiful album!
It was a pleasure to cover Catherine & Paul’s wedding in London a few weeks ago. I met Catherine at a her friends wedding I was covering in Limerick a number of years ago..fast forward to her day in London in 2011. As you can see from the images, it was a fabulous sunny drenched October day at Threadneedles Hotel and Skinner’s Hall. Many thanks to Catherine and Paul and all I met on the day! BT

Very nice! Stacks of emotion captured! Nice details too. Especially love the inclusion of some of the landscape photos!
Here are some images from Claire and Phil’s wedding held at St. Mary’s Church, Sandyford and Summerhill House Hotel, Co. Wicklow. BT (Ed: Hard to believe that Dundrum Shopping Centre would be flooded a couple of weeks after these images were taken).

Just a snippet from Allison & Daniel’s wedding that I am editing at the moment. A Canadian couple, they were married at Ashford Castle, Cong, Co. Mayo. One of the most beautiful drives to work a photographer could make.

Wow Brian
You certainly got the light to make Ashford look amazing and the work is top drawer
Love the first bridal image with the reflection..
I was delighted to have Danny Hallissey in on a weeks work experience last week. Danny is a Transistion Year student at Bandon Grammar School, Cork and has more than a passing interest in Photography. During the week we did some images around Monkstown Marina. I can see great things for Danny – keep it up mate. BT

Always a buzz to see your images printed in a magazine on a shelf in a newsagents. Confetti have always been my Irish wedding magazine of choice. Haigen and Lisa’s wedding, that I photographed last September at the Blue Haven Hotel in Kinsale, Co. Cork, has been featured in the 2012 Confetti ’25 Real Weddings’ (an annual publication). Sincere thanks to the it’s editor Ciara Elliott. B

What happens when you travel three thousand miles to the Cliffs Of Moher, Co. Clare with friends and family, organise a Cliff Top Ceremony over looking the ocean and even go to the trouble of even painting your toe nails green for the event, and then the rain comes in, and it ain’t moving? Well you embrace it…and em, dance! That’s what Linda and Peter did, one of the most weather-resilient couples I have ever worked with. Outdoor became indoor and it didn’t mean that I put away the camera – far from it. We just kept going. Linda and Peter are spending some time in Ireland before heading back to Wyoming, USA. Keep an eye out for them, they’ll be the ones without he umbrella! And speaking of umbrellas, each of the guest took home a little green one as a souvenir of the wedding day. Good thinking Linda, Peter! Thanks for everything. BT
