I’m a wedding photographer based just outside Dublin, living with my partner John and our daughters, Saibh and Freya. I studied design before photographing my first wedding in 2012, and it has been part of my world ever since.

My grandparents ran a wedding photography studio, and their way of seeing still shapes how I work today. I sometimes bring my granny’s Rolleiflex to weddings, a quiet nod to where it all began.

I’m drawn to moments that feel natural and real. The kind that don’t ask for attention, but stay with you long after. The way people move around each other, the small gestures, the quiet in-between.

Destination weddings feel especially close to home. People arriving from different places, whole weekends unfolding slowly, stories stretching late into the night.

My approach is calm, considered, and unobtrusive. My background in design shapes how I see things. Composition, light, and timing matter just as much as the moment.

I won’t direct your day or turn it into something performative. I observe, anticipate, and document what is already there as it naturally unfolds.

The in-between moments matter just as much as the big ones. A glance across the room, a quiet pause before the ceremony, the energy of everything building around you. Most couples tell me they feel relaxed very quickly. You only need to be present.

Photographs become more meaningful with time. Not because of how they look, but because of how they bring you back. To a feeling, to a moment, to a person exactly as they were.

What matters is that nothing meaningful is missed. The people, the atmosphere, the small details that hold everything together. So that years from now, you can return to it and feel it all again.
