Wedding photography & film in Ireland

Timeless wedding stories

Every wedding is different – and so is every story. On this page you will find a few of my favourite days from across Ireland: a castle in Dublin, a family home on The Curragh and a castle hotel in Kildare.

Scroll through each gallery to get a feel for the day, then open the full story on the Journal to watch the wedding film and read more about the venue, the details and the people who made it special.

Planning your own wedding? I would love to hear about it – let’s chat over Zoom.

Every story is also awedding film

Alongside the photos, I film every wedding as a cinematic story – the vows, the speeches, the laughter and all the little moments in between.

Watch the films from these weddings and many more, from castles and country houses to family homes all over Ireland.
