There’s nothing more that I love to do than explore new places and that goes for venues too. Shooting internationally, I’m always coming across exciting new locations and with that comes a chance to create something different. I find that it helps kick my creativity into overdrive. Rather than relying on the same spots or locations of a venue I’m looking at everything, the light, the location, the surroundings with a fresh pair of eyes and I’ve found this to be invaluable when it comes to capturing the intricacies of your day.
We’re based just outside of Belfast, Northern Ireland but I shoot throughout Ireland, Europe and internationally.
Depending on which level of coverage you’ve chosen, I’m with you all day from the morning prep through to the evening speeches and dance floor mayhem. I couldn’t miss your favourite in-law pulling some serious shapes!
They simply are not necessary if you trust me. As important as family formals are and something I shoot at nearly every wedding (unless asked not to) I've found that if they are kept to a minimum on the day this allows me more time to spend looking for those unscripted moments. The thing about a shot list is, in the end they actually can prevent me from capturing the natural flow and authentic emotions of the day. It also means more time spent with your guests!
Typically 6-8 weeks after your wedding. When wedding season is in full swing this may be a little longer. But I’ll always give you a rough idea when we’re hugging it out at the end of the night! You’ll receive an online slideshow a few weeks after the wedding to whet you appetite and then your full gallery (500+ images) via a private password protected online gallery.
I shot my first wedding back in 2013 and I've been a full-time wedding photographer since 2015. I've always been interested in the power of imagery and film. I spent long childhood afternoons pouring over my grandparents photo albums in wonder of the people looking back at me.

I only take on a limited number of weddings each year to devote the time to you both and ensuring your story is told as it ought to be. With care and intent. I usually book up 12-18 months in advance but drop me a line to chat dates and plans. The more info the better!
