I am an english speaking wedding, elopement and engagement photographer in Ireland & Paris, France.

I am originally from Ireland, based in Ireland & Paris but working all over, from the South of France, to Ireland and even as far as Mexico if needed. I love destination weddings also!

My approach is photojournalistic in style and manner, unobtrusive and quiet with a touch of romantic styling. I believe in capturing the joy and beauty of your day with minimum interference. I look for the smiles, the elation, the dancing, the subtle glances, the proud parents and the special little details that make your day as unique as you both are. I gather all these special and intimate moments to help tell the story of what makes you an amazing couple. While I love the details and iconic photos it is the “inbetween” shots that are the most memorable. 

It’s the same for my photo shoots. I love the iconic Paris shots at the Eiffel Tower etc and making beautiful compositions but I also love getting the sweet intimate moments between couples and families that tell the real love story between them. Both types work together beautifully to compliment each other.

I was born and raised in Ireland with a predominately equestrian background, my love for horses dominating from an early age. Later, I realised my other love, photography, and after a period of simply just dreaming of it I decided to take the plunge and enrolled in a Masters of Photography course at Speos Photographic Institute in the most romantic city in the world, Paris and I never looked back.
