HERE’S JOHNNNNNNNNNNNNY!

oopps, sorry for the mix-up!

I’m Johnny, an adventure elopement and wedding photographer based in Ireland, NOT Jack Nicholson from The Shining. My focus is on capturing natural, beautiful moments for my couples rather than being a menacing presence at a haunted hotel. So, please don’t mistake me for the infamous character – I promise I’m much more friendly and approachable!

As a wedding and elopement photographer, I'm all about capturing natural, non-stiff moments between couples. Let's create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere where you can be yourselves and let your personalities shine. I'm there to capture all the beautiful moments that make your story unique. Let's make memories together that you'll cherish for a lifetime!

Hey there, I'm Johnny - your friendly neighborhood wedding and elopement photographer in Ireland! I like to keep things natural and beautiful - no fuss, no formality, just you two, your love, and your sense of adventure. My camera will be there to capture every moment of it!

I'm all about creating art that you'll cherish for a lifetime - pictures that will look stunning on your wall in a beautiful frame. My style is creative and playful, with a film-like feel that captures the romance and emotion of your special day.

And don't worry about feeling nervous or awkward in front of the camera - I'm all about making you feel relaxed and comfortable. No fake smiles or stiff poses - just you, being yourselves and enjoying the moment.

As a newlywed myself, I totally get the craziness of wedding planning. That's why I love mini weddings and elopements - they're all about the simple act of marrying your best friend and having an adventure together. And who doesn't love the great outdoors, right? Whether it's hiking, forest walks, or picnics in scenic locations, I'm always up for some adventure!

When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me enjoying the simple things in life - hanging out with my son Aaron, our dog Ghost, and staying fit with Running and Cardio workout. And when the weekend rolls around, there's nothing I love more than a turf fire, a pint of Guinness, and being surrounded by family. Let's create some magic together and capture your love story in a way that's as unique and fun as you are!

Apart from my daily work as a photographer, I am a simple guy who loves spending time at home. I enjoy the simple things in life such as forest or hill walking, hiking, trail running, good company and a few laughs.

When I think about what my perfect evening would look like, I would simply answer that a turf fire, a Guinness and being surrounded by the family would make my day. From Thurs to Sundays I am very busy working with clients in different locations but during weeks and some free weekends I like to spend time with my son Aaron and our dog, Ghost and of course staying fit doing Gym (cardio and weight lifting) training.

A few more things I’m obsessed with:

  • My amazing crew, Claire and our awesome son Aaron!

  • Our furry friend, Ghost, Standard poodle - follow his adventures on @ghostcorcoran

  • 80s video games   – Pew Pew!

  • Trail running and off-road madness (Goal: 50km or more. Best so far: 35km with a wild 2,900m elevation at the Mourne Mountains! (Oct 2024)

  • Hyperreal Pencil drawings - @johnnycorcoranart

  • A delicious cup of coffee to start the day right

  • Salty popcorn for the perfect movie night snack

  • Comedy films that make me laugh so hard I nearly choke on said popcorn.

  • Spicy chicken wings that make my taste buds dance

  • And, of course, adventure—because life’s too short to stay on the sidelines!

unraveling the mystery of elephant and a shoe

“Elephant Shoe” is a phrase I have always loved because when you lip read someone saying this you see “I love you”. While it is unlikely that you would use the phrase “elephant shoe” in a real conversation it does highlight that sometimes things do get lost in translation.Elephant Shoe is a cute fun way of saying “I love you”. Try it out today without using your voice!

Whether you're at home, at work, or out and about, you can brighten someone's day with this playful expression. And who knows? Maybe “Elephant Shoe” will become your new favourite way to say “I love you” - just like it has for me, as I love using it with my wife and kid!

P.S. I loved using “Elephant Shoe” during our wedding too! It’s a little reminder of the love we share, wrapped up in a playful phrase. Give it a go and spread a little love—no words needed!
