This photograph was taken in the break between dinner and the first dance. I scouted out the location in the grounds of The Maryborough Hotel in Cork, Ireland and I felt that the two trees would make a good frame for my couple. I had one flash behind them and another one at a lower power in front. after a few test shots, I got the levels right and the photograph was done.

This photograph was taken on a headland overlooking the sea at Inchydoney, in West Cork, Ireland. The couple are pretty sporty and the groom + his party had already been for a swim in the Atlantic earlier that day. We had done some more static shots and then I asked the groom if he could lift his bride up for a more dramatic shot. I went low to capture her against the sky and I added some fill in flash at +3 power so that I could get some detail in the sky.

This photograph was taken at The Fota Island Resort in Co. Cork Ireland, I love when you have a big wedding party and you can create contrast with the clothing colours with a boy - girl - boy - girl lineup. I found the location with the trees behind the couple which formed a good background, and as I was slightly downhill from them I was able to get a low angle which makes them more powerful in the frame. I directed them to look inwards to the centre while they were walking towards me and luckily, the shot came together.

This photograph was taken in the morning when Joe and Paul were getting ready for their wedding ceremony at Castlemartyr Resort in Co. Cork, Ireland. It may look like a studio shot, but it's a really simple set up, just using the light coming through the net curtain of the bedroom window. I wanted to emphasise that it was a same sex wedding by using the rings and the cuffs and cufflinks on both their shirtsleeves.

This photograph was taken in March 2022, in Kinsale, Co.Cork, Ireland. The mast is situated directly opposite Actons Hotel, where the reception was being held. I had photographed couples at the mast before, but luckily, the Christmas lights were still in place so it added an extra element to the photo.

I spotted the organ loft during the ceremony and thought that it would be a great background for a couple shot. The bride and groom were up for a creative photograph, so I positioned a remote flash behind them and got the brides younger brother to flick the veil and then quickly duck down, It took a couple of tries, but we got the photo!
