Wicklow Engagement Session | Ciara and Gary I love that we plan to take Ciara and Gary’s wedding images at home in the beautiful Wicklow countryside and lakes that surround their home. So it seemed very fitting that we take the opportunity to take in this amazing backdrop for their engagement session. I called up […]

Castlemartyr Wedding Photography | Niamh & Neil This wedding was very special. Not only was it at my favourite venue Castlemartyr Resort with beautiful details and vendors but really is was because of Niamh and Neil. Niamh and I connected close to 2 years ago when she saw images from my wedding at Castlemartyr back […]

What can I say about the Cliff at Lyons. It is such a beautiful Irish wedding venue, a real find, if you are looking for that something a little bit different and big on charm. It was the perfect setting for Fabiola and Ciaran’s wedding. When I first met Fabiola she told me she had […]

Kilkenny Wedding Photography | Catherine & Conor I spend a lot of time in Kilkenny over the summer months for weddings but it has been a while since I have photographed at Hotel Kilkenny. It was lovely to be back there again and with this beautiful summer of sunshine the garden drinks reception there was […]

Planning a wedding is full of incredible highs. Menu-tasting is pretty wonderful, as is the first time you try on ‘The One’ – but don’t be deceived. There are also some – well, not lows exactly, but perhaps we could call them less thrilling moments involved in creating the day of your dreams. I’m going […]

Some of my favourite photographs from the weddings I cover are those taken first thing in the morning as the bride gathers with her nearest and dearest to prepare for the day ahead. There’s just something about that buzz, that excitement – and then the stillness and calm that takes over as the bride prepares […]

I was talking to a friend recently whose little sister is getting married in the Autumn. “So is everything sorted, then?” I asked – and she grimaced. Why? “They’re planning on having a very relaxed day,” she said. “To the point where there’s no seating plan, no Master of Ceremonies…and no timeline.” My eyes opened […]

It pains me to say it, but I’ve detected a little snobbery in the wedding photographer and wedding blog world. You see, there seems to be a view amongst some photographers that there’s something ‘wrong’ with taking family and group photographs at a wedding. You know the type of pictures I mean – the traditional […]

Today I’m talking about workflow. One of the most wonderful things about working for yourself is that you have the freedom to decide what your working day looks like. You see, when you’re an employee  – whether you’re stacking supermarket shelves or defending a client in court – there’s usually a well-defined process to follow, […]

This wedding was such a treat for me in everyway – beautiful wedding and beautiful family celebration. I got to know Gemma and Alan a little better during our engagement session together and every good thing I thought about them from that day we met was so true of their wedding day. Gemma’s warmth and […]
