This shoot made us hungry!

We were asked to be part of an exciting project in aid of the Irish Hospice Foundation - a cookbook which has recipes from all the top restaurants around the country. So, we found ourselves spending a day around some gorgeous venues in Dublin in the company of some of Ireland's top chefs and their work, what a delight!

The Cellar Bar in The Merrion Hotel was first up and the level of perfection was amazing, down to angle of the signature pattern on the plates.

One Pico in Molesworth Place were looking for some images to capture the ambience as well as the French cuisine.


The staff were so helpful and delightfully French! Pity it was too early in the day to sample the dishes though!

Dax was one of those hidden treasures, with a cosy fire and subtle lighting, the atmosphere was delightful (and the coffee amazing!).
At Pearl Brasserie the fresh and smoked salmon tartar was presented so beautifully, the vinagrette looked like it was a pattern on the plate!
We finished on a sweet note with the challenge of a rapidly melting desert at Bang Cafe!


The book is in the final design stages at the moment and will be out in time for the Christmas market, keep an eye out for it!

Latest Portraiture Slideshow

2009 has been a challenging year for everyone it seems. But above all, it is our friends and family which are what really count. At our studio, we are priviledged to meet some amazing people and families who are looking for something that little bit different. Their family and relationships are really important to them and we have created some great heirlooms for them in our studios in Fashion City, Dublin and downtown Kitchener, Ontario. This short clip shows a sample of some of our work from the past few months. To find out more email us in Canada or Ireland

The Borths Family Portrait at our Kitchener Studio

While it might be cold outside, in our Canadian studio things are really hotting up! Our gallery at Conestoga Mall in Waterloo has created huge interest and we are having lots of fun shooting new clients.

On Wednesday evening we invited the Borths to the studio for their family shoot. At the consultation Rose had asked for something really relaxed so we had already discussed clothes that would work best. On the day, Sebastian had a flu thing going on but braved it through regardless. Katy positively revelled in the occasion. She's a gymnast, so throughout the session we were treated to a fantastic display, which we caught on 'film' to spice up the session. It will be fabulous for her to look back on in years to come.

One of the priviledges of our job is being allowed a 'snapshot' of other people's lives. One thing that really came across with the Borths family was the special relationship that Rick and Rose have with their children, so we made sure we captured this.

All in all, the evening was great fun. We laughed our way through and enjoyed the session immensely.

Rose said "These have got to be the most beautiful family pictures I have ever seen. Gordon and Grainne are professional, artistic and innovative. The sitting was a blast and nothing was left to chance. They made what could have been ordinary, extraordinary! I would/will highly recommend them to everyone I know".

We've got some great offers going on throughout February. To find out more email us in Canada or Ireland.

Winners at IPPA Awards

Best Bridal Portfolio



Other areas where we were finalists were Classical and Reportage Wedding as well as Landscape. Overall it was a great night!

2009 Desk Calendar

Our annual desk calendar was miraculously ready before the end of 2008 this year! We had a lot of fun compiling the images and creating the design.
This year we included an extra dimension to the images with the addition of a text quote. It took us hours and hours to find the perfect quote for each month, but we feel it enhances the impact of the images and gives them something to connect them to the viewer.

Joanne & Chris's Wedding at the Slieve Russell Hotel

Joanne & Chris suggested stopping off at Drumlane Abbey on the way back to the hotel and what a treat it was! With a stunning view over the countryside as well as some amazing ruins with towers, arches and doorways to use as photography backdrops it was something so unique.

The winter light was just perfect and whilst the bridal party were freezing, they all had a lot of fun before heading back to the Slieve Russell Hotel for some mulled wine and traditional Irish music!
