Ireland does golf well

I may not be a golfer myself, however, I enjoy watching our Irish boys doing well – and it was great to follow the recent Irish Open in Portrush.

We had a most enjoyable meeting and recce trip during the week with the management of Mount Juliet Country Estate – a stunning 5-star resort in County Kilkenny, which includes a championship golf course. The grounds and parkland course are so immaculate, it’s obvious why it is rated so highly and has hosted some major tournaments.

Before shooting a hotel, we spend a lot of time just trying to understand the Client’s needs – so we take loads of recce shots; we listen carefully to the Client and then we produce a Concept Report…

.. suggesting images that we feel will work for them over the next few years.

It’s a time-consuming exercise but as our strapline says – “great shots don’t just happen” !!

So hopefully a bit like the Irish Open at Royal Portrush, we will back down to Mount Juliet Country Estate sooner rather than later as a result.

Suburban Charm.

Is the title of our latest published work in the August 2012 issue of Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living magazine…

.. on pages 82 to 94, plus on the cover too – featuring Marie and Alan McMillen’s 1920’s semi detached house in the tree-lined Cherryvalley area of Belfast.

“Marie & Alan thoroughly enjoyed giving their pretty semi in the leafy suburbs of Belfast some much needed TLC.”

Which we talked about shooting here: The French Connection.

Tender loving care indeed, so a huge thanks to everyone involved for their hard work here – and congratulations once again to Marie & Alan – especially for making it onto the cover too.
