Jean + Will | Hilton Park wedding photographer Jean and Will’s wedding at Hilton Park in County Monaghan was a beauty. It’s a stunning venue – a gorgeous country house set in grounds that make the heart sing (click here for more info). Everywhere you turn, there’s something lovely to see. But Jean and...
Wedding Photographer Castle Murray House | Kristen + Barry I’ve shot some beautiful weddings this year. Kristen and Barry’s Donegal wedding was probably the most international. They’ve travelled the globe together and most of Kristen’s family and friends seemed to have made the trip over from Canada. It felt like everyone was on holiday....
Trisha + Liam | Donegal wedding photography Trisha and Liam’s wedding in Glenties, Donegal, was my first outside of Belfast this year, back in April – and where better to go? The wedding fell on one of those stunning days that have peppered an otherwise wet spring/summer. Gorgeous blue skies. Sunshine that can almost...
Becky + Gareth | wedding photographer Merchant Hotel There were many things to love about Becky and Gareth’s wedding at the Merchant Hotel. It’s such a cool venue. Things just click into place there. The ceremony room was beautifully styled too – as it always is when Melanie from Mood Events has been at...
Sinéad + Conor | Donegal Wedding Photographer I’ve been up in Donegal a bit recently for weddings that have been pretty summery. Back in December I was there for Sinéad and Conor’s wedding – and on that day the rain hardly stopped. Secretly, I’d been hoping for some moody, dramatic weather for our portrait...
It was a such a pleasure to photograph Mary and Mark’s intimate ceremony in Dublin last summer. They returned home to Dun Laoghaire from London and found a sweet venue just near the harbour for the wedding (Oliveto). It was one of those tranquil Irish afternoons when the clouds keep the sunshine at arm’s length, but you know there’s no prospect of rain either. Just a warm stillness in the air …
2015 | Belfast wedding photographer Somewhere, someone has their foot flat to the floor. 2016 is already three weeks old and 2015 is speeding away behind us. It was such a cool year. I got to work with couples I’d been looking forward to photographing for ages, in venues up and down the country. It’s...
Keelin + John | Wedding photographer Donegal Keelin and John’s wedding in Fahan, Donegal, would have been worth traveling the length of Ireland for. It was so lovely. Belfast is no distance at all, as it happens. But somehow Donegal, and Inishowen in particular, feels like another world one you’ve left Belfast behind. If...
