Leah the ballerina in Dublin bay

I've been wanting to shoot Leah for a while now. She's a beautiful dancer and I've had this sea shot in my mind for forever. I knew she'd be perfect for it! I put together the ideas board that I shared with her on Pintrest and from the clothes she had I was able to buy fabric to match and create a skirt for the floating gown effect... I love how my mediocre seamstress abilities(...ok I used safety pins) worked out!! ;D 

Here is some behind the scenes footage and some more shots from the shoot. 

Big thanks to Marco for the fab hair and makeup. I love the crew at The Studio salon next door to me, they always do a wonderfully creative job and make everyone look and feel amazing! 

 

 

Anita & Darrell engagement shoot - Dunlaoghaire Pier

Darrell and Anita flew home to Dublin from Canada for their big day. We had a warm up shoot at the pier in Dunlaoghaire and were lucky enough to get a great day and the rain held off until we were leaving. This was a lot of fun! Thanks guys! :) (click on the image to view the next picture in the gallery)

Mary and Mick's wedding at The Garryvoe Hotel

Mary and Mick were married around this time last year on a sunny/blustery/sunny day in Cork. We still managed to venture to the beach though. I had met Mary the previous year through work and was delighted they choose me to shoot their day. Mary is so feminine and she oozed grace on her big day, while Mick had all the swagger of a 1920's gangster with the car and hat to fit! They had their beautiful little girl with them on the day and have had another gorgeous little one since. So happy to see my couples families grow... Here are a couple of my favourites...  Just goes to show, you can still get pictures outside even for a wedding in December... If you're brave enough of course ;)

New Website new blog! The old blog is here 

http://deeorgan.blogspot.ie/ please take a look at this archive started back in January 2008! I feel old now :D 

When in New Zealand I was educated on the meaning of the fern for Maori people. Called The Koru which symbolically means new beginnings, harmony, growth and life.

So I feel these images I took in New Zealand in 2007 are appropriate for my current phase of growth and also reminds me of one of the happiest times in my life. 

 Looking forward to the fresh new start and keeping you up to date with the goings on at Dee Organ Photography. Please comment and share your thoughts. I look forward to them. :)
