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...

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

Out in the fields...

It looks like we are finally getting the Summer we had been promised, if a little late... although I can't complain really, as I have been fortunate to have good weather for all of the weddings I have photographed this summer.

This evening I was in Hillsborough on a photo shoot with Gillian and David (wedding 25th July)
Gillian had mentioned at her pre-wedding meeting that she would like some photographs taken in the wheat fields near their home. Due to the weather though, the wheat wasn't ready and we have had to postpone until today... what a day though, and it ended with a fantastic sunset, perfect for adding a warm glow to the golden fields.

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.

Rachel & William

Saturday 10am, I arrived in Larne to photograph Rachel & Williams wedding. I started the day at a very quiet and relaxed house for a few shots of the preparations, then arrived at Saint Cedma's Church to meet William. The weather was great, if a little breezy down at the loughshore when we went for a few photographs at the Chaine memorial tower. Rachel & William were a lovely couple to work with, and the day went by smoothly.









As I was there until late evening, I also captured the first dance ..



I am currently working on the photographs, the gallery should be online this evening.

Your Feedback II

Another excellent review from a lovely couple, Gillian and David. I photographed their wedding on 25th July this year at Brookhall Farm & Narrow Water Castle.

"
Our wedding was a fabulous day with many memories which Ian Tate managed to capture in his unique informal style. We had a gallery of first class photographs which all our guests got to view online very shortly after the wedding. Everyone commented on how artistic they looked and how relaxed everyone was. Thanks again Ian for a very professional service and a wonderful collection of memories captured on camera!"

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.

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!"
