It's completely normal to feel awkward in front of the camera, and many people experience this during photo shoots. However, it's important to remember that the key to great photos is not just about posing perfectly, but also about having a good time and enjoying the moment. Try to relax and have fun with the shoot, and don't worry too much about the photos. A skilled photographer will help you feel comfortable and capture some great shots, even if you feel a bit awkward. Just focus on enjoying the experience and the photos will turn out great!ext goes here

No! Please, No. You are choosing to hire me for my style I seek to capture your day as it is happening. I do not create any specific moments and any photo list would distract from the genuine moments of the day and kill my photographer instinct.

Sorry No, It’s so important to me that you only receive beautifully-toned, print-ready photographs! For this reason, I never release my RAW files. Every photograph you receive is a finished product, ready for display!

Of course! This is actually one of my favorite parts of my job! I love spending time discovering and researching hidden gems and epic locations for intimate ceremonies. Most of my couples don't have a specific spot in mind, so once you book me, I'm thrilled to send you tons of location ideas and assist you in finding the perfect spot for your special day.
I always encourage my couples to select a location that is special and meaningful to them, rather than just opting for popular tourist attractions. Choosing a more secluded spot can make your day feel more personal and intimate, and discovering a hidden gem can add an extra element of excitement to your elopement! However, if you're feeling unsure about finding the perfect spot, don't worry - I have a wealth of secret locations and ideas to share with you to help you find the perfect intimate location!

Assisting couples in planning and bringing their visions to life is something that I truly enjoy! Although I'm not an official wedding planner, many of my couples who are having an intimate elopementdon't require one due to the level of planning assistance I provide. I can offer vendor recommendations, location ideas, lodging suggestions, ideas for activities to include in your day, travel logistics, and any other support you may need. While I'm not responsible for booking vendors or travel, I'm always happy to provide guidance and helpful advice. However, if you're looking for more intricate services such as a ceremony altar, floral arrangements, or a custom tablescape set up for dinner, I can recommend some wonderful elopement planners who can help you with those details.
For couples who are planning an adventurous wedding or elopement with a larger group of people, I highly recommend working with an experienced wedding planner. They can assist you in finding a location that can accommodate your group, help you apply for all the necessary permits, and even set up a custom dinner for you and your guests. This way, everything on your big day will be taken care of, and you'll be able to focus on enjoying your time with your loved ones.

Absolutely! When it comes to location scouting, I have a wealth of resources at my disposal, including a map that allows us to tour trails and off-road terrain remotely, giving us a clear sense of what an area looks like even if we haven't been there in person.
Additionally, I have built strong relationships with wedding vendors all over Ireland through my extensive network. If you're in need of local vendors like hair and makeup artists, florists, officiants, and more, I'm happy to leverage my connections to help you find the best and most reliable professionals in the area. My goal is to make your wedding or elopement planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible, while ensuring that every detail is taken care of to create an unforgettable experience for you and your loved ones.

My photography is always about celebrating love and authenticity. We share photos of all my clients no matter how they look because we want YOU to know that YOU are beautiful because we are all unique and different and important.
You will not be photoshopped taller or thin, your scar on your forehead is part of your identity, so we will not photoshop it. We won’t photoshop to alter what is real and true for you.
Photoshop is often used to remove temporary blemishes, such as bruises or spots. I'll always ask you which side is your "favourite side” when we pose you.

Of course! I love meeting up with people to talk through your plans and get timings and logistics all sorted for the day. If the distance is a problem we can always chat over email and feel free to make friends with me on Facebook too!
