Dublin and Ireland

Wedding photography portfolio.

I photograph weddings the way they actually happen: the unguarded moment, the fleeting expressions and glances, the thing that happened between the things you planned. Most of the day is unposed, with a little time set aside for relaxed portraits and family photos.

Venues I know well.

I photograph at venues all over Ireland. Knowing a venue well makes a real difference to the photographs, so these are the places I’m at most often, each with its own guide to what the photography is like there.

Dublin

The Merrion Hotel
Georgian light, private gardens and one of the most beautiful staircases in the city

The Shelbourne Hotel
St Stephen's Green on the doorstep, grand interiors, classic Dublin

Luttrellstown Castle
A 560 acre private estate for exclusive use and one of my favourite places to photograph

Kildare

Carton House
An 18th century estate with more portrait spots than almost anywhere in Ireland

The K Club
Riverside estate, tree-lined avenue, beautiful grounds

Cliff at Lyons
A converted mill village, intimate and distinctive

Wicklow

Powerscourt
The Sugar Loaf as a backdrop, formal gardens and one of Leinster's most photographed venues

Brooklodge and Macreddin Village
I know this one well. Annie and I got married there

Meath

Ballymagarvey Village
A converted estate village unlike anywhere else in Ireland

Tankardstown House
An intimate country house with walled gardens

Clonabreany House
A relaxed country house with a lovely easy atmosphere

Monaghan

Castle Leslie
A lakeside estate with a fairytale feel in every season

If your venue isn’t here, get in touch and ask. I’ve almost certainly photographed there or somewhere very like it. I also travel for destination weddings in Ireland and abroad.

My collections

I photograph a limited number of weddings each year. Collections run from €1,850 for an intimate wedding to €7,450 for the Kheffache Collection, with a lower midweek price on each. Every collection comes with an online gallery, high resolution downloads and a print release. Every collection apart from Intimate includes a fine art album, and the bigger collections add a second photographer and the Content Creator. Analogue photography is included in the Kheffache Collection and available with every other collection.
