This page features a selection of candid weddings, as well as my family, event and business photography work. You will get an idea immediately by looking at these posts about how I shoot weddings.

My passion is to create genuine, authentic photographs that tell the story of your wedding day, family, business or event. I hope you enjoy what you see.

In February I spent a couple of days in Dublin being the official photographer at Doc Day after event organisers - two amazing documentary wedding photographers , Kevin and Annie Kheffache put their faith in me to document their brilliant annual Documentary Wedding Photography Conference - which they run in partnership with This is Reportage, and Loxley Colour.

Unsurprisingly given the nature of the event my brief was to turn up & capture the goings-on as it happened - my favourite way of working!

Similarly to when I have photographer the Learning to Fly Wedding Photographers Retreat it's a slightly surreal experience to be the photographer in a room of amazingly talented contemporaries - happily they are supportive group to work among and photographing among my peers encouraged me to raise my own standards rather have any negative impact!

(Although with family travelling from Australia, America, and as Mark's dad mentioned in his speech even Greencastle they also knew the opportunity to fit in a few family portraits was too good to pass up...)

I'm sure there would have been some trepidation from their international guestlist (with Mexico & New Zealand also represented) around the January weather in Ireland, few would have predicted the blue skies and glorious sunshine that illuminated the Redcastle Hotel throughout their day...

As I often find with people attracted to my photography Lori & Mark planned a day to fit around them and their families other than ticking a list of must-include traditions, and from their one flower-girl bridal party, their ring warming ceremony,  via their heartfelt & partly free-styled vows to their sidestepping of a first dance to go straight to a bouncing dancefloor the day reflected who they are as a couple...

Here's a preview of their amazing day...
