Bon Secours Hospital for Recovery Haven Kerry

Bartek Witek — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:43:49 +0000

I had a great pleasure to take part in a very worthwhile community project recently. It started over the coffee with Mary from Bon Secours Hospital in Tralee that asked for my help in assisting them to support Recovery Haven which is an charity organization that provides support and counselling to people affected by cancer in Kerry area.
Bon Secours Hospital are in the process of producing a cookbook comprising of recipes from Bon Secours sisters and staff in the Hospital. All of the proceeds from this cookbook will go to support Recovery Haven.
My part in this was to provide the photographs that will illustrate the book.
It was amazing to get to know the hospital history, sisters that lives in the hospital and all the staff during those shoots over.
I cannot wait for the book to be published.
Should you feel like you can contribute to this project or help the Recovery Haven by any other way please visit their website @ www.recoveryhavenkerry.org

Thank you for your support.

PS. Taking part in this project helped me also to complete 96th point on my 101 of 1001 list :)

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:

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…

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!

Engagement Session – Kerry, Ireland | Roisin and Micheal

Bartek Witek — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 19:38:05 +0000

I’ve heard Micheal had to try really hard to get Dublin girl to go out with Kerry boy…
After few years they got the house, two dogs and a happy life in Kerry.

We had two engagements sessions, which is quite unusual…
On first one dogs played leading role. Running in the garden in the wedding gowns they had best time ever. Anyway I think so…
Second session took place just a few days before the wedding. We took a walk down the Dooks beach near Cromone and we went also to some hidden places in Caragh Lake area.

Beautiful day, happy couple, lots of love and fun…
