Hello Brides and Grooms!
I am based in County Cork in Ireland and I live next to the Atlantic Ocean. I photograph weddings in Cork and Kerry and I love to use the natural landscape and seascapes in my photographs.
I have been photographing weddings for over 10 years and I know all the best beach and forest locations. I also love to use off camera flash to make unique creative photographs for my couples.
My main aim on a wedding day is for my couple to have a relaxed day with lots of fun and to have a set of beautiful photographs to treasure, that will form the beginning of a historical document for their family.
Winning photos
My couple had told me that the guests were going to let off some bubble guns as they came down the aisle. I got in position and shot off as many frames as I could as they came through. I then cropped and warmed the image to finish it off.
110th CollectionThis photograph was taken on a really windy day at an old lookout station on the coast in East Cork, Ireland. I had to adjust the vertical perspective a lot to straighten the castle!
109th CollectionThis shot was taken at a lavender farm beside the sea in West Cork, Ireland. The bride and groom had a particular look and style of photo in mind and we managed to pull it off.
108th CollectionThis crazy couple volunteered to jump off the raised doorstep of this Church in Kinsale, Ireland. All I did was press the shutter!
106th CollectionWe had about 10 minutes before the couple went in for dinner and I found a couple of places around the venue that would work for a night shot. Luckily it was December in Ireland so it dark at 4.30. I put a flash with a Magmod gel & grid behind my couple and hey presto!
105th CollectionIt was all go on Niamh's wedding morning with hair, makeup and content creator vying for space. I tucked myself in behind the bride and waited for everything to fall into place.
104th CollectionThis shot was taken in July on a beach in West Cork, Ireland. We were just finishing up the location shoot when I noticed this unusual wall. I posed the couple off centre and positioned them so that they didn't overlap the holes in the wall.
102nd CollectionThis photograph was taken at Castlemartyr Hotel in Cork, on a lovely sunny afternoon in March. The location was beautiful and my couple were really great to work with. I positioned them with the sun behind and shot from a slightly raised position on some steps.
101st CollectionThis photograph was taken just before Christmas 2022, so we had to get to the location in Co, Cork, Ireland at around 3.30pm in order to catch the light. Normally there are a lot of tourists around but luckily it was clear when we needed it to be.
100th CollectionThis is the classic wedding day moment when the brides father sees her in her dress for the first time. For this photograph, I positioned the brides mother and bridesmaids off the the side so that I could get their reactions too.
99th CollectionI shot this photograph at the entrance to Charles Fort in Kinsale, Co.Cork, Ireland. The sun was setting off to my right and the bride and her bridesmaids were celebrating the end of the shoot so that they could get back to the party!!
99th CollectionThis was taken at one of my favourite locations in Killarney, Co. Kerry It was a really windy day but we got some shelter by the lake between the trees to get our shot.
97th CollectionThis photograph was taken at the Garryvoe hotel in Co.Cork, Ireland. I used an off camera flash with a Mag Sphere to backlight the couple and light the trees
97th CollectionThis photograph was taken in the famous corridor at University College Cork and it is a really popular location for wedding photographs as the nearby Honan Chapel can host up to 3 weddings a day. I got my couple to sit close to each other in front of the ornate window and then lean into each other. I shot it just using the available light and I opened up the shadows and darkened some of the highlights at the edges in Lr.
95th CollectionThis amazing couple were really into creating great photographs using the seascape of Cork as the background. We went to a clifftop outside the village of Ballycotton and climbed over some obstacles to get to our location. Their wedding was in early December, so the sun was setting around 4pm, which gave us the beautiful light. I shot it without flash or any additional lighting and edited it in Lr.
