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 :)

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

Thank you for a wonderful day which was full of emotion, laughter and fun. Wishing you both the very best in the future and all that married life will bring.

Michael…

Bartek Witek — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 01:27:46 +0000

Warm smile of mammy to be… she did not expect it can happen so quick…

bump grows and grows and it is just 4 weeks to go…

“I still cannot stop dreaming, evey moment is like magic…” – she said on our last meeting.

And dream come true…

Michael was born at 5.50 am on 20th February 2009 in Kerry General Hospital in Tralee.

Oh..my daddy came! Look at me Daddy! We are getting ready to go home! Mammy just needs to change my nappy. Let me take some nap…

I got so tired for some reason… Maybe it is better, I am a little scary to see everything on the way home.

Well… It was not so bad. I have slept all the way home :P

Here is another one picture of me sleeping in my own bed :D:D

Michael needs now some rest and couple of days to get used to his new bed and all those people around before I will visit him again to make some new photos…

Congratulations to Kate and Jack once again. He is so sweet…

Ireland’s Wedding Journal Show

Bartek Witek — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 18:15:38 +0000

Today – Saturday 24th January 2009 I had a pleasure to visit The Wedding Journal Show in Millstreet, County Cork.

If you missed Dublin and Millstreet you still have a chance to attend in Belfast 27-28 February and 1st March 2009.

Unfortunately I did not exhibit this year :( Simply I did not had time to prepare… maybe in the 2010.

Anyway it was pleasure to be there. I meet some fantastic people.

Incredible vendors mostly from Kerry but also Cork, Dingle, even from Waterford – county Kilkenny.

Great photographers with various samples and packages to choose from.

What is most important – they were all there for you – couples, brides and grooms looking for the best for they dream day.

At 1 o’clock We /me and my fabulous wife/ watched “The Cat Walk” . Gorgeous ladies wearing stunnig dresses and two handsome guys accompanying them in perfectly crafted mens suits.

I was impressed how quick they were changing clothes, jewelry etc.

Hope I will have an opportunity to exhibit next year, and meet some of you…
