Last November I had the pleasure of shooting Eamon and Maggie's wedding in the lovely Durrow Castle. I wrote a blog here on my site at the time but I was contacted recently by the wedding experts that are Mrs2be, and I'm delighted to say they wanted to run the wedding as a feature on their website. Follow the link below to have a look if you have the time please :).
Many thanks,

On a beautiful summers day at the end of July last, I had the pleasure of photographing the Wedding of Karen and Damien Keane. I began taking photos of Karen at her family home in Portlaoise. As she prepared for the biggest day of her life, she remained cool, calm and ever smiling. The light was lovely and she radiated with a glow of happiness. I quickly made my way to Powerscourt Hotel in Wicklow to catch the Groom Damien as he added the finishing touches too..then, to the lovely venue in The Esplanade Hotel Bray.
After the Ceremony we managed to nip over to the seafront in Bray for a few sweeping shots on the beautiful stoney beach there, and it was made all the better when we got a few ice-cream cones from one of the kiosks..(thanks Mr. Twissler :) )
Fern House in Avoca was our final destination and this venue did not dissapoint. The evening light was warm and the we managed to get some beautiful photos as everyone enjoyed the outdoor reception on a lovely Summers eve.
Later that evening there was a little sprinkle of rain and this gave me a chance to steal the happy couple and get some atmospheric shots under an umbrella in the garden as the Summer shower passed.
Hope you get a little sense of the wonderful day we all had on that day in July last.
Saturday the 23rd of April 2016, the Irish Times Weekend magazine, featured an article about one of my Weddings (Noelle & Tony Burke's wedding which i have here on my blog ).
Noelle contacted Sarah Gerathy of the Times and sent her some pics which she loved, along with a small romantic backstory. They contacted me and I sent the High res pics for printing and the next thing I know is it's in the Saturday paper!!

I've been so lucky in my work, photographing cool couples on probably the happiest day of their lives! Recently I had the pleasure of photographing the Wedding of Oliver Dowling and Denise Cotter. This wonderful couple were a joy to photograph, as they and they're lovely family, went about the business of enjoying themselves. All day, they and they're children, made me feel at ease as if I was part of the family. Here, are just a few of the photos from that day..hope you enjoy.

The Wedding of Noelle & Tony.
A beautiful September day and the sun was shinning like it was mid-summer. Rath Church, Co.Laois was beautifully decorated in anticipation of Noelle and Tony's big day. Everything ran perfectly and the happy couple were totally at ease and relaxed all day as the Autumn sun shone in the cloudless sky. We had arranged for a friend to chauffeur the Bride and Groom in a beautiful old Black Hillman car, and this set the theme for the photos which we took on Tony's farm after the ceremony. I hope the fun we had is conveyed in the photos from that wonderful day.
Ian & Anne's Wedding Day.
The setting was Ballykealy Manor in Co. Carlow. Both the ceremony and reception was there which is ideal for weddings. It also means that the Bride and Groom have more time and are much more relaxed. The weather on the day was also perfect and everybody seemed to soak up the amazing atmosphere of the venue.
Hopefully you can get a sense of the fun and pleasure I had on the day, taking photos for a lovely couple who welcomed me with open arms into their family on such a special day.
