Charming Blended Family Wedding
There’s nothing new about a blended family wedding. More and more of them are occurring – and what makes them so special is the children. This family made their family the centre of the celebration and that was what made the day stand out for me. I remember the bride was trying to get ready…

Melissa and Kevin
I searched for a good local Cork photographer to capture our wedding day in Bantry in April 2018, and discovered Kathryn’s website quite quickly and fell in love with her beautiful pictures and her quirky relaxed style, and she was thankfully available! Kathryn sent me some snaps the next day, and somehow she had managed…

Gougane Barra Woodland Wedding
Emer and Thomas found me through my website. They were planning their Gougane Barra wedding from Dublin and needed to arrange most everything about their wedding from afar. They had fallen in love with Gougane Barra when a friend suggested it as a wedding venue. Everyone loves Gougane Barra don’t they? The woodland theme fit…

Barnabrow House
Last year I worked with a fantastic couple, Laura and Ger. They wanted to be sure to include their favourite family member in the photoshoot and I can honestly say he was the most well-mannered guest ever! The colours and the approach this couple had to planning their wedding day made this a favourite of…

Intimate Innishannon House Hotel Wedding
The beautiful stream running right in front of the house, interesting nooks everywhere you turn, how it always seems sunny on the patio. These are some of my favourite items about Innishannon House Hotel located in Innishannon, County Cork. This wedding party was perfectly suited to the hotel. They were so full of life and…

Location, location
If you are a local – I bet you’ve had your eye on the perfect location for a wedding photo. West Cork especially has some incredible scenery and if you are lucky enough to be near you should definitely add this to your wish list. Some people may not have a hotel full of relations…

Inis Beg Estate Baltimore Wedding
This wedding sums up what I like most about wedding photography. Seeing people with so much love all coming together to lift a couple up and show them why marriage is so special. This wedding was so full of personality that I had to work hard to capture every moment. I love finding ways to…

Bantry House and Maritime Hotel family affair
The grounds of Bantry House are the perfect setting for this couple and their three daughters. Their love just jumped through the lens at me – I just had to be sure to be in the right space in order to capture the sparks.

Springtime wedding at Maryborough Hotel
The Maryborough Hotel is a Cork tradition. The sweeping staircase, the parkland (18 acres of it), the location are all great aspects of a wedding here. This couple were married here in Clonakilty but danced the night away at the Maryborough.

Modern, quirky Inchydoney wedding
I’ve been photographing for 17 years and have yet to come across a bride as exuberant and colourful as Megan. You would have thought the photoshoot was for a hip and happening high fashion magazine when in fact it was documenting two beautiful people in love. Megan, her groom Kingy and I had met before…
