best wedding photographer

We are blessed with so many wonderful wedding venues throughout the country, but we all have our favourites, and for me, Clonabreany is one of mine.

I have been shooting here now for many years and I still love the relaxed vibe, the great grounds and the helpful staff. Rachel and Tony were such an easygoing and friendly couple and were a perfect match for Clonabreany, and also for my style of natural and relaxed photography. From early morning preps in Tom Blake House, working alongside Gerry from Limelight Wedding Films, and with the girls in the hands of the wonderful Fiona Harrison and Stylicious Styling I knew I was on to a winner of a day – and what a day it was !!

Hopefully the photos below can give you an idea of the day, and, if they look like what you might like for your celebration just get in touch – we would love to hear from you !

2021 was a strange year, a bit of a stop start for weddings and really tough for couples to try and plan anything concrete.

I was so lucky to be involved in all sorts of weddings, from low numbers to nearly “normal” numbers and up and down the roads of Ireland. All these days proved one thing, that whatever the numbers, whatever the circumstances, once a couple decide to take the plunge the day is always so very special. Love conquers all.

Check out a few images from 2021 weddings, I still shoot in the same relaxed style, natural photos capturing the little moments as well as stunning couple shots.

If you are getting married in 2022 I wish you the very best of luck, whatever happens, it will be a wonderful day.

Covid ensured that 2020 was a tough year for all, not least the wedding industry. Lots of couples faced the prospect of postponing their weddings, many faced not one, but two cancellations but through it all, love found a way.

Throughout the latter half of the year there was a dramatic rise in more intimate ceremonies, some with as few as 6, some with 25 and what wonderful celebrations they were.

My last wedding for 2020 was when Emma and Derrick tied the knot in City Hall Dublin, we took a few shots while walking through the city streets and finished off at the Schoolhouse on Northumberland Road where they were having a family meal in lovely surroundings. It was a great way to sign off on a not so great year !!

Due to the Covid pandemic Micro-Weddings have become par for the course these days. I thought I would share one from a few years ago. I met Ramtin for a quick nerve settling coffee on Westland Row and from there we headed up to Merrion Square where Niamh arrived for a first look. We then took a stroll through Merrion Square, headed up along the canal towards the registry office and, before the ceremony we did a few family shots by the canal locks. After the ceremony we had time for a few more shots of the happy couple before they met up again with their family for a meal, to be followed later by a party for friends. Only difference now is the social distancing required !!

It was one of those days where it all came together nicely. A wonderful friendly couple, welcoming family & friends and a stunning venue with perfect weather. I was spoiled last year with some of the great days I got to document and this was no exception. I will let the pictures do the talking !

With the current C-19 restrictions and lockdown many couples have had to sadly postpone their big day to later in 2020 or to 2021. However, some are deciding to tie the knot on their original day and opting for a micro-wedding within the current guidelines and social distancing etiquette. It may surprise many, but micro-weddings have been around for years in Ireland. Mainly these would be considered “elopement weddings” and traditionally would be foreign couples coming to Ireland to take their vows, but I have also covered many weddings for Irish couples with a small and intimate ceremony followed by a meal with family and a party for friends at a later stage. What a nice idea this is, you can still have your official wedding, albeit in a much more intimate fashion, and follow up when restrictions are lifted with a big party for friends & family, and you can always do a vow renewal ceremony on your “party day” to make it a full day experience.

Five years ago Liz and Travis traveled from California to get married in Kilronan Castle, there was just the two of them, Travis’ mam and stepdad, the celebrant, the musician and myself. The ceremony was recorded for youtube and was going to be uploaded later that day (no live streaming technology back then !), Travis’ mam & stepdad renewed their vows and I was roped in to do a reading “as gaeilge” as no-one else knew Irish ! What a wonderful day we had.
