Martin and Cindy

The weather took a bit of a turn for the worse for Martin and Cindy's wedding. This turned out to be an indoor wedding when the heavy rain prevented a visit to Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park. The ceremony though was held at the Fisherwick Presbyterian Church in Belfast, the interior is quite bright and provided some interesting backdrops for the day.

Recommendation from David & Therese

Thanks to David & Therese (pictured above) for their excellent review on http://www.freeindex.co.uk their comments are very much appreciated.

"Ian recently took photos for our wedding and I cannot express how impressed and pleased my wife and I were of Ian's professionalism. He provided an extremely competitive and modern package, and gave us a comprehensive selection of options. On the day he had an extremely discreet approach, and did not impose in any way, while still capturing our special moments, from my wife’s preparations at home, through to our first dance. Our photos were available on Ian’s website within 24 hours and Ian’s service in producing the wedding DVD and photo album was extremely efficient and of the highest quality. Our opinions are shared by family and friends so much so that they would recommend Ian for any special event in the future."

We had a great day for the wedding in Belfast, a few of the photographs are shown in the post below and the secure gallery http://www.iantate.co.uk/gallery

David & Thérèse

Today started at the brides house for a few shots of everyone getting ready, while listening to a lot of loud music, I think there was a Dire Straits track in there somewhere...



...then on to St. Brigid's Parish Church on the Malone Road for the ceremony.





We also managed a few shots in the Japanese Gardens of Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park...





... then on to the reception at the Ramada, Shaws Bridge.

Wedding Extravaganza 2009

It's that time of year again, the wedding show... unfortunately, I am unable to attend the wedding extravaganza at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast (4th - 6th September) although my photographs will be there at the Brookhall Farm stand.

So if you're passing, drop in and see Sam and Pauline to say hello and have a look at their excellent wedding venue.

Fireworks

Another night of fireworks, and this time a better location with nothing but Belfast Lough in front of me...

This time we went down to the Loughshore festival to mark the end of the Tall Ships weekend.

Firework photographs are so random, so I've added a few examples.

Tall Ships Belfast 2009

A trip down to the Tall Ships last night with my wife and daughter, my camera not too far away of course...

It's been a while since I last shot fireworks, but thought I would try and get a few shots anyway...
I've only added one of the photographs but there are others (most with someones head in the way - oh well nevermind)

Your feedback

Just thought I would add this review from Stephen & Leigh Smyth, I photographed their wedding in December last year at Ten Square in Belfast.

It's always nice to hear from clients and great to get feedback on the service I offer.

"Ian Tate was our Wedding Photographer and we couldn't have wished for better. He made us feel completely at ease from our first meeting, and the pre- and post- service were fantastic! Ian provides a very personal service and we would thoroughly recommend him!"
