When preparing for a wedding, I’m always apprehensive that the day will go well, that the rain will stay away, and the bride and groom will have a an enjoyable experience. Having met Deirdre prior to the wedding, I was sure that she would be a great Bride to work with and I had no...

When I got the invite to Kelley & Barry’s wedding, I thought; “this is going to be an amazing wedding to photograph”.

Paula & Stephen travelled home from Australia for their New Year’s eve wedding Celebrations. I am always very excited on New Year’s eve . . . but I was even more excited this year. I think New Year’s eve weddings are a great idea. People want to celebrate the dawning of a new year, and...

The wedding of Donna & Paul has taken over my hard drive. In fact . . . I was so snap happy on their wedding day, I have had to invest in a number of new hard drives 🙂 Thus, this is a bumper blog post. How could I not share all the images that...
Getting the opportunity to photograph Donna & Eoin’s wedding was a treat. Donna is a fellow St. Louis school mate and you know, how I love photographing St. Louis alumni brides!!

There are so many gorgeous details to mention, which formed part of the wedding day of Maria & Seamus.

Malachy & Angela’s wedding was a bright, colourful day filled with laughter, little people running around and lots of love. When sitting down to write a little post about this day, a few things came to mind. Family. That’s the first thought I had. It’s obvious that family is extremely important to Angela & Malachy....
Lisa & Adrian’s wedding day was a fun filled affair. Wedding mornings are always an exciting affair and the Mc Kenna household was no exception. From early morning, the wedding ritual kicked into full swing. Flowers were being pinned to male family members lapels, lashings of lipstick applied and the odd glass of bubbly passed...
Suzanne & John’s wedding took place in Cootehill earlier this Summer. Whilst doing my little “creative plan” for their wedding day, I got very nervous. Why was “I” nervous?? . . . Well, because I knew how perfect Suzanne’s wedding day would be, and I wanted to take photographs that reflected that “perfection”. From our...
The wedding of Denise & Martin has resulted in a mammoth blog post. I’ve tried very hard to cut the number of images down to a “sensible” number, but alas, I failed. The result is this fullsome blog post. There were just too many images where I thought; . . . “oh!I bet they would...

Documenting the wedding day of Aishling & Paul was so much fun. Paul Reidy stole the heart of this Monaghan lass many years ago, and it was back to the farney county, Miss Stirrat came, to celebrate her wedding to her; Mr Reidy. The Stirrat household was a hub of activity on the morning of...
The wedding of Jacqueline & Niall was a complete delight to photograph. From early morning, the giggles of the bridesmaids, the banter between the Mc Elvaney brothers and offers of many cups of tea by the mammies of both the bride and groom, left me in no doubt that “this is going to be a...
Catherine & Gareth’s reception was held in the picturesque surroundings of The Errigal House Hotel, Cootehill Co. Cavan.

The speeches were so touching that they had most women ( &...
Catherine & Gareth tied the knot in the village of Threemilehouse, Co. Monaghan, and what a treat they had in store for everybody. The planning was meticulous and every detail was seen to (or a brother assigned a job), and sure I wouldn’t expect anything less. Catherine was so excited to be getting married back...
