At the beginning of winter I photographed Rachel and Dermot’s engagement session in the lovely Botanic Gardens in Dublin. We had rescheduled the shoot a few times due to rain until we just decided to stick with the date rain or shine, and in the end surprisingly got a day of sunshine. I love Rachel’s style; we even turned up to the shoot in the same jacket!

Last week I photographed their fabulous wedding in Kilshane House which I can’t wait to share, but you’ll have to wait till the new year!

You may remember Sadhbh and Niall from their beachy engagement shoot during the summer. I knew from their enthusiasm with styling their engagement shoot that the wedding would be a real treat too! Sadhbh and Niall were married in Blackrock Church in Co.Louth. After the ceremony we ran across the road for a few portraits on the beach, very fitting as their engagement photos were on a beach. Then we headed to Darver Castle for the reception and a few more portraits in the gardens.

Sadhbh and Niall added some really lovely touches throughout their wedding day. Sadhbh wore a cute pair of pink heels that matched her pink rose bouquet. At the reception there were lovely details at the guest wedding book table with old photos of their parents on their wedding days, lanterns, birdcages and a handmade guest book with photos from their engagement shoot. Sadhbh and Niall love skiing and incorporated that into their day with a wedding cake made to look like a mountain covered with snow and each of their table names were named after ski slopes. My favourite part of their day had to be their wedding band. I rarely take note of the wedding band but The Willin’ Fools is not a typical wedding band. Everything about them is so unique. I highly recommend checking them out.

Overall a super day was had by everyone. Big congratulations to Sadhbh and Niall!

If you look in the current issue of Confetti you’ll find the inspiration shoot I collaborated with some fantastic eco friendly vendors at the Brooklodge Hotel in Wicklow during the summer. We wanted to create a shoot to give couples inspiration for their wedding day that showed you can be eco friendly and stylish. Thanks to all the lovely vendors who helped on this shoot! If you’re a bride who wants a garden party feel to your wedding that’s kind to the earth you’ll definitely want to check out the lovely vendors below.

Kelly and Chris were married in St.James Church in Horetown with their reception in Dunbrody House. When I first met Kelly I just knew I was going to be spoiled with a fab wedding. Kelly, an actress, knew how to work the camera! Her Claire Pettibone dress couldn’t have been more stunning on her. She complimented her dress with a delicate vintage veil.

With a love of all things vintage they opted to include a few quirky and beautiful details such as lace table cloths, the original London Tube map as their seating chart, a real working gramophone, and 1920s style photos of the two of them around London. A lot of the details were DIY but some of the details came from Lamber de Bie and Pearl & Godiva.

Big Congratulations to Kelly and Chris! A fantastic couple that I’m delighted to have been a part of their big day!

At the start of Autumn I had the pleasure of photographing Sinead and Brian’s engagement session in Herbert Park. As this is their local park it was a perfect choice. The fallen leaves and evening Autumn glow added a lovely warmth to an already lovely shoot. I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding recently so stay tuned for more of Sinead and Brian!
