Storybook albums

This is a bit of a late post, I had received new storybook wedding album samples from Graphistudio (Italy), a while ago. These albums represent excellent quality and craftmanship, they are also available in many different variations. I have been offering the storybook albums for the past few years, so thought it was time for some new samples.

I have attached a few images below to show the leather bound version, with names debossed on the cover.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

The snow began to fall this evening as I left the Canal Court Hotel in Newry. I left as the party, to celebrate the new year as well as Brian and Laura's wedding, was about to begin.

We had a clear, crisp winter's day for the wedding, couldn't have asked for a better day to end the year, although it was freezing at times..

A few random photographs from the gallery are attached below..







A horse drawn carriage carried the bride and her dad to the church.

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."

Wedding 'Thank-you' cards

I usually forget to mention at least one of the services I offer. On this occasion I will take the opportunity to tell you about the wedding gift 'thank-you' cards available.

As well as photography, I also have an extensive background in design and print. This is an advantage as I have a list of excellent printers to contact for the best quote.

The cards I offer are printed on a high quality, premium smooth 300gsm stock, complete with envelopes. They are printed with an image, of your choice, from your secure online wedding gallery, with a digital proof sent to you before for approval.

Quotes are based on size, quantity etc.

Marguerite & Shane

Despite the stormy weather across the rest of the country yesterday, we had a very pleasant day for Marguerite and Shane's wedding. The clouds broke and the sun appeared for most of the day, and although it was a bit cold at times it is still November...



The ceremony was held at Ballykilbeg Chapel, which I had visited before in 2007 for Sherrie & Eoin's wedding.

We stopped at Marguerite's Grandad's house for a few photographs in the gardens, then off to the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle for the reception.

Mark & Tara

Just back from Lusty Beg Island for Mark and Tara's wedding.
What a great day we had, even though there was heavy fog around Portadown and Lurgan although that soon disappeared the closer I got to Enniskillen. Then onto the little ferry for the couple of minutes to get to the island.

I am working on the photographs at the moment... more to upload later

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!"
