Something really cool happened in March so I thought I’d tell you about it. Back in October I received a text from Kevin Murphy, photographer and organiser of the annual Develop conference for wedding photographers. He was asking if I would be interested in speaking at the 2020 Develop in Limerick City. This moment for me was a mixture of excitement, fear and pride, all rolled into one.
