About Me

Hi! Welcome to my new blog. You'll find images here from my latest wedding and portrait shoots as well as other random happenings. Use the new menu bar to navigate around... For those of you who haven't just travelled through my website to get here, here is the link: www.sineadjenkins.com. You can find entries in my old blog here: www.sineadphoto.blogspot.com.


I was chatting to a lady recently about her daughter's wedding photography. She admitted the photographs were not her cup of tea - too many black and white documentary images, and not enough posed family photographs. Sounds like my kind of photographer! Her daughter had organised the photography to her liking, but the mother was disappointed that she didn't have a posed photograph of her husband and herself together.

At the weddings I shoot, I don't suggest specific posed photographs unless a couple has written them on my 'group photographs' list or if they ask me at the wedding. More often than not I am busy shooting all the events and details of the day and don't stop unless asked.

Here's a tip for any of my brides and grooms to be for this coming wedding season.. Let your guests know that I am primarily a documentary photographer, and if a guest or mother of the bride wants a shot of themselves with their husband/child/auntie I am more than happy to oblige. Just ask!

I'm just back from Winchester where I photographed my cousin Aislinn's wedding. Elmer was in attendance, and was looking very dapper in his new baby wedding outfit!!! This is him at the end of the night with my sister:

Steven the Husband:

You're right there Liana! He's starting to look like a proper grownup little boy. You can see how he's changing. On skype he still looked the same but he was sitting down. It's the ever increasing height, at this rate he'll tower over me by the time he's four

I've been updating a couple of things on my website, the most obvious of which is the new flash movie on my home page. I've got ideas for a few more adjustments in the coming months, but thought I'd best get on with things whilst Elmer is still unable to crawl. Apparently when that happens, life as we know it will come to an end.

Roisin:

Just had a look at the new website – you are AMAZING!! I seriously have never seen photos this good. What a talent, I’m so proud! You should enter competitions or something.

Wow.

Sinead Photo:

Haha, thank you Roisin. What lovely compliments! You probably don't look at the Magnum photography website as much as I do though ;)

Who's Liana? Well, she's my Photographic Assistant, and she accompanies me on all my wedding shoots in Dunedin. Liana's been known to save the day on more than one occasion when it comes to stains on dresses, driving, directions, unruly children or anything that requires a safety pin. Even if I do claim the glory for myself later on. Liana is the only person who knows that aside from photography, I am almost completely useless... well, Liana, and now everyone who reads this post!

Here's a few images of the lady herself in action...

See how she's standing in close proximity to the white chocolate cake... and not eating it? That's the true test of professionalism. XX

Oh and I'm busy updating my website so I will be blogging that tomorrow!

Yes, that's right, you can now spend your days not only following my blog, but checking out Sinead Jenkins Photography on Facebook too! Especially if you have a very boring office job and your computer screen faces the corner of the room.

I'm going to be updating the Facebook page with all the latest blog posts, plus NEVER BEFORE SEEN photographs (yes!) and a few little extras that won't necessarily be on the old blog here. Excited? I thought so...

If you're a client and become a fan (and you so wish) I can upload some of my favourite images from your wedding/portrait session straight away so you can share them in an album with everyone. Easy!

Here you go:

Elmer looks like he's about to push delete. No bad baby. Lucky he has short arms
