Brigid and Ciaran | Killarney Wedding Photography

Bartek Witek — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 12:36:11 +0000

I met Brigid and Ciaran in Killarney in 2009. This was one of these meetings you know you match perfectly – photographer and the couple. I could not wait to photograph their wedding.
Wedding Day was a double celebration – it was also Brigid 40th Birthday!
We started this very special day at the Sean Taffee VIP – Bridal Suite in Killarney followed by Birthday cake and decorations surprise at the Randles Court Hotel. Ceremony took place in the lovely Fossa Church with a lot of emotions and happy tears. On the way to the reception at the Randles Court Hotel we have stopped for some photographs at the Killarney Golf Club.

The day was so beautiful that hotel staff had prepared some drinks outside so guests could enjoy the weather, after which we all together headed for the meal, speeches and dance.

I loved every minute of this day:

International Wedding Photojournalism | Kasia and Robert

Bartek Witek — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 10:08:29 +0000

I had a great pleasure and fun photographing the wedding of Kasia and Robert in my home country Poland.

It started with the preparation of bride and groom that showed no stress of the big day. The ceremony at the “Najświętszego Serca Jezusowego” church in Piotrków Trybunalski started in the evening at 6pm. Priest has shown a big understanding of photography profession and blessed myself saying “Do what you have to do and take great pictures for the couple to treasure forever”. Joanna and Jakub that carried a wedding rings and roses on the way out made ceremony even more special. Wishes have brought us to the reception where the couple with family and friends had a great fun taking part in some specially prepared party games for the night and delicious meals that allowed everyone to enjoy stronger drinks till the morning hours. You could not be bored for a second.

It was a celebration in the full meaning of this word that lasted with the old polish tradition for two days.

I would like from this point to thank Kasia and Robert along with their family for the warm welcome and great care showed during my few days stay with them – I felt like a family member.

PS. One of the steps of 101 in 1001 completed /no.29/. More to come…

———————

Spędziłem wspaniały czas z Kasią i Robertem fotografując ich ślub w Polsce.

Przygotowania przebiegały w wyjątkowym spokoju, oboje nie pokazywali ani troszkę zdenerwowania.
Ceremonia w kościele rozpoczęła się o 18tej. Ksiądz wykazał się zrozumieniem profesji fotografa i jedyną jego uwagą było “Zrób piękne zdjęcia aby młodzi mieli wspaniałą pamiątkę”.
Dwoje dzieciaczków Asia oraz Jakub podających obrączki oraz szpaler z róż dodały ceremonii wyjątkowego charakteru.
Pełne uczuć i wzruszeń życzenia poprowadziły nas na przyjęcie, gdzie wspólnie wśród rodziny i przyjaciół, gier i zabaw oraz pysznych posiłków i alkoholu starym polskim zwyczajem młodzi bawili się do białego rana.

Przy tej okazji chciałbym również podziękować Kasi i Robertowi oraz ich rodzinom za ciepłe przyjęcie i opiekę w trakcie tych kilku dni spędzonych z nimi – czułem się jak prawdziwy członek rodziny.

Roisin and Micheal | Kerry Wedding Photography

Bartek Witek — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 18:38:49 +0000

Who said beautiful brides don’t always make beautiful weddings, but even the rain couldn’t wipe the smile off Micheal’s face that day.
We all were waiting for that wedding. Me and my wife saw there so many familiar faces, old friends.
It was a very special day and we wanted to thank you both Micheal and Roisin for inviting us to celebration of your love. Have a beautiful life together!

We also asked some of your best friends to share their thoughts and their wishes for you with us here:

Wishing you both all the best for the future and in all that you undertake together, ie. surfing, extensions and nights in Francie’s etc. And Roisin, at least you know he’ll not be wrapping you up in cotton wool J (at least until he gets over his phobia of fluffy things). Thanks again guys for a marvelous day…
Keith Malee

Reportage Wedding Photography | Sarah and Brendan

Bartek Witek — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 21:07:56 +0000

From the first minutes after I arrived to Sarah and Brendan house I could feel the rising joy and excitement among their closest family.
Hair dresser and make-up artist were already there. I love when they are coming to the brides house. It gives everyone more time to enjoy themselves instead of driving from one place to another.

Intimate ceremony took place in St. Finbarr’s Oratory well known as a Gougane Barra Church in Co. Cork, after which we drove to Killarney Park Hotel for the reception.

It was a pleasure to be a part of this day to watch so much love around. Thank you!
