relaxed wedding photography

by

What a wonderful year 2024 was. I got to meet some lovely couples, revisit some favourite venues of mine as well as explore some new ones, all while capturing the fun & emotions of some fabulous days. I really feel lucky to do what I do and am so looking forward to 2025 and more of the same.

If you’re looking for stress free and relaxed photography while still getting those “must have” shots alongside timeless couple photos why not get in contact. Each day is planned to ensure that each couple get to spend as much time as possible with their guests to mingle, have fun and enjoy their day.

I would love to hear from you 🙂

Had such a fab time photographing Shiela & Tommys big day at Poulaphouca House. such a warm welcome from the start and plenty of laughs all throughout the day. The weather was perfect and all their guests enjoyed drinks al fresco in the beautiful gardens.

An integral part of my photography on a wedding day is documentary. Although I ensure to get the “must have” shots and some timeless couple shots my preference is to let the day flow as much as possible and work in the background. It’s those little unseen interactions, laughs, tears etc. that make the photos extra special and black & white is so suited to documentary style as your eye isn’t distracted by colours and you focus in on the emotions.

See below for a very small selection of my documentary style.

Megan & Paddy travelled from New York to celebrate their big day with family and friends at the wonderful Lough Rynn Castle. From start to finish this was such a laid back & fun day, the castles grounds provided the perfect backdrop for photos and we still had plenty of time to mingle before the meal call.

Capture the moment is an often overused photography expression, but it describes documentary/reportage photography perfectly. These are fleeting moments, missed by many but, thanks to photography now captured forever. The day goes by so fast for each couple, it’s nice to be able to look back on those little interactions, laughs, tears & hugs that they missed or went so quickly they had forgotten about.

My style on the day is to try keep everything as documentary as possible, whereas I still get all those “must have” shots and am more than happy to try get specific shots wanted by each couple, I prefer a fly on the wall approach and capturing the day as it unfolds.

I also prefer most of my documentary shots to be in Black & White – the viewer is not distracted by colours and the focus is on the moment. Colour versions are always available if required !!

Let’s face it, not everyone likes being in front of the camera, especially on your wedding day when you want to mingle with your family & friends and not spend all day hanging out with your photographer !!

I specialise in stress free photography, less of the stiff poses and more of a documentary style of photos. Blending into the background I capture the day as it unfolds and while we still get all the “must have” shots alongside some timeless couple shots, it’s all done with the minimum of fuss giving plenty of time for couples to chill with their guests and enjoy their day.
