To paraphrase a certain singing nun, fairylights, greenery and gorgeous textures are some of my favourite things, and Laura and Philip’s stunning Castle Durrow wedding was packed full of all three!   Their big day had a certain rustic vibe about it – think hessian, tweed and the broderie anglaise details of Laura’s Jesus Peiro […]

Aine and Matthew were married in Duiske Abbey followed by a joyous reception at Mount Juliet; a stunning, Georgian walled estate in Kilkenny, and one of my most-loved venues.   Aine personifies the kind of bride I seem to attract and feel very lucky to be able to work with: elegant, charming, with timeless, romantic […]

Well, can we start with a resounding ‘Holy Matrimony’? What. A. Dress. Cara’s Margaret Moreland creation was equal parts 50s glamour and fairytale perfection, with a modest neckline balancing a full-on ballgown skirt and a fabulous satin-trimmed veil. And it had pockets. I know, just heavenly. And that’s before I even get started on the […]

I love the glitz of a black tie wedding and I just adore the walled gardens of Mount Juliet in Kilkenny, so I just knew Anita and David’s big day was going to be a little bit magical. And magical it was – magical and romantic, glamorous and yet wonderfully relaxed and informal, and, above […]

Ciara and Todd were married at Borris House, Carlow; a Tudor-style country house which provided an exquisite backdrop for their day. I loved how Ciara’s stunningly simple Provonias gown stood out against the the lavish red rugs and rich mahogany of the bedrooms, the fuss-free wreaths and floral arrangements by The Wild Bunch and the […]

I love shooting weddings at the Castlemartyr Resort in Cork. I just adore the air of unpretentious, effortless elegance, the history, the gardens and the surrounding landscape. There’s also the small fact that it’s where Ted and I celebrated our wedding – but I’m not biased, of course… If I had to put Jennifer and […]

I spend a lot of time here on the blog discussing what to anticipate on your wedding day – I guess that’s understandable as couples tend to be in ‘tunnel vision mode’ with their eyes on the prize i.e. the big day itself! But as any photographer will tell you, the real work for a […]

Lots of the brides I meet – and grooms too, actually – have planning down to a fine art. I’m consistently impressed by the foresight and the attention to detail they exhibit, balancing the pressure planning of their big day seemingly effortlessly alongside work, family commitments and more. Truth be told, I’m more than impressed […]

“I dread having my photograph taken.” “I’m not a natural in front of the camera.” “I don’t know how to pose.” In the run-up to your wedding you’ll have lots of things on your mind, and having your pictures taken is probably at the forefront – especially if any of the quotations above resonate with […]

I’m always honoured – and flattered, truth be told – when a couple approach me to ask me to be their wedding photographer. It’s not a decision people make lightly – I don’t think I’m overstating the importance of a wedding photographer when I say that he or she is probably a couple’s most carefully […]
