Family Portrait - Tipperary Hurling Fans studio portrait

As all Hurling Fans know Tipperary is the home of hurling. This was a great year for Tipperary with the Senior All Ireland Hurling Final title and the Under 21 All Ireland Hurling titles for 2010. I really enjoyed taking this family portrait of the Ryan family from Borrisoleigh. Dylan age 4, sitting on the gear bag, Danielle age 6 who is a camogie player and their big brothers Darragh & Dean.

Sarah Jane & Michael – Dromoland Castle

admin | March 15, 2010

Sarah Jane O’Callaghan’s wedding to Michael Hennessy was picture perfect.

Sarah Jane O'Callaghan arrivng at Cratloe Church

Since I posted Sarah Janes wedding photos on my Ni Riain photography Facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=102872&id=90241045889&l=8b3236a559)its been the most talked about wedding dress.

Sarah who is a barrister, has an original designer fashion eye with a vintage twist. I think it is what you would call “Sarah Jane style”. She took her inspiration from  an “Elie Saab” dress which she adored from his Diamonds are Forever couture collection 2008. Mairead Neill, from Shannon made it for SJ. I adored it plus it was so comfy for the day.

Her shoes were Jimmy Choo from London.
Flowers- SJ hated lots of fuss and was determined to have simple flowers so her Mum & SJ came up with the idea. Thought they were very elegant. They were a simple Lily of the valley. Girl from Shannon did the flowers. People ruin Cratloe Church with so much fuss. Make up was by Naomh Kirwan who worked for Brown Sugar in Dublin but now is out on her own. Hair was Brenda Wall  from Shannon
Music -The fab harp playing was by the multi talented bride & Dolman String quartet.

Welcome to my new website

admin | December 18, 2009

Hi Sinead Ni Riain here and welcome to my newly launched website.

A  big thank you to Liam Chivers www.metronet.ie and his team who  redesigned it for me. Liam designed the original site in 2006 and I was thrilled with it. I t went on to win numerous international awards and my clients loved the site.

With the advent of Blackberry’s and I phones most people are accessing the web using these but a “Flash” styled website doesn’t work on this. 

Also as I love social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter and soon to be launched Bebo. The new website will integrate all this for me.

Look forward to hearing your opinions.
Sinéad

admin | July 8, 2009

We had an amazing day with Triona Walsh & Fearghal Carroll at Dromoland Castle on the 2nd May last. The ceremony was beautiful, the bride was given away by her father Walter and the couple were married by Triona’s Parish priest of Cratloe, Fr. Liam Enright in the Cathedral of St. peter & Paul, Ennis Co. Clare. It was a gorgeous day, sunshine and perfect blue skies.

The reception was at Dromoland Castle, where we were spoilt for choice for locations to use.
