March 1st, 2010 : National Award Winner
Looks like I did get that piece of glassware after all!! Last night (28/2/10) in the Ballymascanlon House Hotel, Dundalk Ark Photography was nominated for the Irish Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) RSA Best Classical Wedding Portfolio, Best Reportage Wedding Portfolio, Best Reportage Image and Best Bridal Image.
The good news is I won the Best Bridal Image and am absolutely thrilled. A big thank you again to bride and groom Colin and Elaine whose image achieved the top prize in this category. Time to get working on the next heat for the 2011 awards.
November 5th, 2009 : Gold Award Winner
Ark Photography has just been awarded a gold and seven silver awards in the final heat of the Irish Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) /RSA National Awards Competition.
Just thought I’d fill you in on a little more info about the IPPA and the National Awards Competition! A lot of facts and bits of info coming your way so brace yourselves 
The Irish Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) founded in 1949, is a qualified Association and awards Fellowship (F.I.P.P.A), Associateship (A.I.P.P.A) and Licentiateship (L.I.P.P.A) qualifications to its members.
With over 350 practising members located throughout the country, the IPPA requires that members adhere to a strict code of conduct and carry out their business dealings in a professional manner. The IPPA are members of the Federation of European Professional Photographers and are also members of the World Council of Professional Photographers and maintain close links to other associations in Northern Ireland, Britain, Europe and the United States.
The National Awards Competition holds four judgings throughout the year and and at the end of the year participants who have scored 4 silvers or higher in a category are asked to submit those prints as a portfolio. It is these prints that will be part of the final judging to determine the Irish Professional Photographer of the year.
So that’s what it’s all about and what I’m working towards. Making the shortlist maybe even a nice piece of glassware, but mostly it just pushes me to try and get really great shots on every wedding I do, so I can submit quality work.

October 23rd, 2009 : The wedding of Elaine & Colin
Colin and Elaine were married in August in the amazing setting of Ballintubber Abbey and the Mount Falcon Hotel in Mayo. We did get the obligatory west of Ireland rain showers, but the two locations had tonnes of choice both inside and outside for the pics. It was a fun shoot and I got to stay overnight, lovely big double bed all to myself in the Mount Falcon, whose staff I have to say were really on the ball service wise. Anyway off the point and back to the images we did get breaks in the showers and manage to make it outside for a few pictures. I’m looking forward to working on the album, but in the meantime I’ve uploaded a few images for you to have a look at.

October 23rd, 2009 : A Slow Starter!!
Ok hands up, I haven’t really been on the ball with this blog. It’s been several weeks now since it was set up and nothing posted, shame on me!!! In fairness I have been busy with work, which these days is a good excuse.
So to start with I thought I’d shamelessly promote my facebook fan page. I know there is a large blue icon on my homepage also doing this but still any plug is a good plug. So go on, log on, become a fan and you can keep up to date with what I’m up to there too.
