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 […]

New Year’s Resolutions get a bad press: they’re often poorly formed, phrased in negative terms (“NO MORE CHOCOLATE!”) and are geared around guilt. Yet we persist – we claim we’re going to completely overhaul our diet, our exercise regime, our approach to the laundry basket (just me?) before those unrealistic ambitions get the better of […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

Madeline and Gearoid were a joy to photograph. Both were keen to have a relaxed day with family and friends – exactly my kind of wedding. Every wedding for me is a mixture of beautiful photographs of the two of you together when we sneak away for your couples portraits and special time spent with […]

You know the kind of people you just click with and love to get to know. The kind that are so friendly and welcoming, that they are a pleasure to spend time with. This is how I felt about Sinead and Sean Og, whose Castlemartyr wedding I was lucky enough to photograph recently. Everything about […]

              Anita and Jamie had the most beautiful family celebration at the Lyrath Estate in Kilkenny. And I was so honoured to be a part of their day! Celebrating with family and rejoicing in the love between a couple and all they hold dear, is exactly why I love photographing […]

Most of my mentoring sessions recently have been focused on people starting out in their photography business. It’s such an exciting time. I can remember when I first started. How excited I was, getting my equipment, starting to plan what I wanted to do, but there were also lots of hurdles that I wish I […]

When an engagement story starts out with “Kealan booked out a cinema screen and got them to play my favourite movie The Lion King”, you know you will photograph a very special day and a very special couple! Laura and Kealan chose the oh so beautiful Tankardstown House for their May wedding. A venue that […]
