Trinity College Wedding

Katy and Adrian chose me to photograph their Trinity College wedding as I like to photograph a wedding in a natural and unobtrusive manner and this was the style they were looking for.

I feel that brides look at their most beautiful on their wedding day when a photographer can manage to blend into the background and they do that feel like there are being photographed.

The guests also look at their very best when they do not feel like they have to pose for photographs. Primarily I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss which I find couples really appreciate.

I always like to give a sense of story and place to a couple’s wedding photographs. The grounds of Trinity College and Trinity College Chapel make for lovely backdrops for wedding photographs. It also gives a nice sense of Dublin to the story of the day.

 Creative Approach

Katy arrived in a lovely vintage car to be married and was cheered by visiting tourists. After a beautiful wedding ceremony in Trinity College Chapel I photographed the group portrait on the steps of the chapel. It showcased the wedding guests and Trinity architecture both beautifully.

I then photographed Katy and Adrian walking through the grounds of Trinity. This made them feel like they were taking a nice walk through their Alma mater on their wedding day. Therefore they did not like they were posing for wedding photographs.

The rose garden in Trinity makes for a nice quiet spot for the family pictures which I always like to make as natural looking as possible. I achieve this by asking the guests to walk towards the camera, it gives people something to do so the photographs do not look stiff and I find it makes people smile of their own accord.

I came up with this idea on the very first wedding I ever photographed to make the pictures more contemporary and natural. It was then to The Weston Hotel for a beautiful wedding reception.

Most importantly Katy and Adrian were delighted with their wedding photographs. This is also the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me. They also remarked that the guests said that they hardly noticed me working on the day. I was very happy to hear that and it is what I like to achieve.

Hibernian Club Wedding

I always like to give a sense of place and story to my wedding photographs. So I was delighted to photograph Anne and Lyndon’s Hibernian Club wedding. The architecture of our beautiful city makes for the loveliest backdrops for wedding photographs.

The ceremony was in Trinity College Chapel and wedding reception at the St. Stephen’s Green Hibernian Club.

Trinity College Chapel and The Hibernian Club provide the perfect places to give a sense of Dublin. The locations give a sense of history and character to the wedding photographs. The Billiard Room at The Hibernian Club makes for a beautiful backdrop for the family portraits. It has beautiful natural light and is also wide enough for me to do my “walking shot”.

 Wedding Photography Creative Approach

I ask people to walk towards the camera for the portrait session. I find it gives people something to do and I find it makes everyone smile of their own accord. The idea came to me at the very first wedding I ever photographed. It makes the pictures more contemporary and natural.

I photographed the majority of Anne and Lyndon’s wedding candidly to capture the atmosphere of the day in a natural and unobtrusive manner. So they both really appreciated this.

Firstly I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss. Anne and Lyndon were delighted with their wedding photographs. They thought they looked very natural and captured the spirit of their day. A happy couple is one of the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me.

A beautiful summer’s day for Sarah and Declan’s Carlingford Wedding. I always like to give a sense of story and place to my wedding photographs. Carlingford makes for a perfect backdrop to wedding photographs. I photographed the majority of Sarah and Declan’s wedding candidly.

Therefore to capture the atmosphere of the day in a natural and unobtrusive manner which they both really appreciated. Primarily I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss.

I met with Sarah and her wedding party at The Four Season Hotel to photograph the bridal preparations. If you are photographing a wedding in a documentary style are always a nice part of the story.

I photographed all the preparations candidly. I find you capture nicer moments if people are relaxed and do not feel like they have to pose. It was then on to The Carlingford Heritage Centre for a lovely wedding ceremony in a beautiful setting.

After the ceremony, I set off with Sarah and Declan to take pictures around the town. I had visited Carlingford about a month before the wedding. I planned out a route for the walk taking in the mediaeval streets.

The Lovely Wedding Route for this  Carlingford Wedding

The Tholsel, the remains of Dominican Friary and down to Carlingford Lough is a lovely route. Finding nice backdrops is always one of your primary concerns as a wedding photographer. In Carlingford, you have a load of choices.

I primarily photographed the couple walking through the town of Carlingford. It was like they were taking a nice walk on their wedding day and not posing for photographs.

It took about 30 minutes so Sarah and Declan did not miss too much of their wedding party. We arrived back at The Four Season Hotel Carlingford for a lovely wedding reception. The Four Season gardens were a nice spot for the family pictures.

Sarah and Declan were delighted with their photographs. It is always one of the most rewarding parts of wedding photography for me.

City Hall Wedding

City Hall Wedding. It was a lovely Spring day in Dublin for Amy and Oliver’s Dublin City Hall Wedding. Amy and Oliver chose me to photograph their city hall wedding for my style. I like to photograph a wedding in a natural and unobtrusive manner. This was just what they were looking for. I find that most people who choose me to photograph their wedding do not like having their photograph taken. So my approach really suits people who are a little camera shy.

My Creative Approach To A City Hall Wedding

I like to think people also feel very comfortable working with me so they actually end up enjoying. I also feel that brides look at their most beautiful on their wedding day. Especially when you photograph them in a natural way. Hopefully, they do that feel like there are being photographed. The guests also look at their very best when they do not feel like they have to pose for photographs. Firstly I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss which I find couples really appreciate.

I always like to give a sense of story and place to a couple’s wedding photographs. The setting of City Hall and Dublin Castle nearby make for lovely backdrops for wedding photographs. It also gives a nice sense of Dublin to the story of the day. I met with Amy at her family home for the getting ready pictures. These pictures are always a nice addition to the story of the day. I never do any posed pictures at the house. I just blend into the background and photograph what is happening. We all then travelled onto City Hall for the wedding. There were some lovely pictures of Amy arriving with her Father and walking along Dame Street. The view down Parliament Street is always a lovely vista for photographs.

The Wedding Day

It was a beautiful wedding ceremony in the City Hall Atrium. It also makes for a lovely backdrop for the city hall wedding photographs. After the ceremony, we did the family pictures in the city hall. I also try to keep these as natural looking as possible and incorporated the beautiful architecture of City Hall. There is also a nice area by the side door of City Hall with an overhead view from the staircase. This makes for the perfect spot for a group photograph.

I then brought Amy and Oliver for a walk around the grounds of Dublin Castle for the bridal photographs.. Amy and Oliver felt like they are taking a nice walk through Dublin on their wedding day. So they did not feel like they were posing for wedding photographs. The grounds of Dublin Castle are also a lovely compliment to the City Hall wedding photographs. It all took only 10 minutes. So Amy and Oliver did not miss too much of their Morrison Hotel wedding reception. Amy and Oliver were delighted with their wedding photographs. This is always one of the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me.

Thank you for visiting my web site and I hope you like the pictures. I like to photograph a wedding in a natural and unobtrusive way. Primarily I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss. I find people really appreciate this. I started to photograph weddings around the same time that I began to work with newspapers. With the New York Times for 7 years before returning to Dublin. I brought that documentary approach to my wedding photography. It makes the bride and groom feel comfortable. People look at their very best when they are relaxed. I do not like to impose myself on the day so apart from the portrait session, which I also keep natural looking, I think people usually do not notice me.

My style is particularly suited to people who do not like having their photograph taken. I find that most people who hire me do not really like having their picture taken but they end up actually enjoying the experience by the approach I take. Ironically I do not like having my photograph taken myself so I understand completely how they feel.

When I photograph a couple naturally, taking a nice walk through Dublin or the wedding venue, it is a very happy memory for them. I think that is what is all about, making the picture taking process a memorable and fun experience.

I am very unassuming, people say they naturally feel comfortable in my presence so that makes the pictures even better.

If you like my natural wedding photography pictures and my style please feel free to call me on my mobile at 087 995 1252. I would love to hear about your wedding plans and ideas.

Christmas Wedding

A Christmas Wedding is one I always love to photograph. The Christmas tree and decorations give a festive atmosphere to a couples wedding photographs. They also make the photographs very rich. Christmas is one of the loveliest times of the year to get married. I think it also adds to the excitement of the day for a couple. There is something lovely about a Christmas or winter wedding.

These were some samples for Christmas weddings I have photographed over the years. At The Shelbourne Hotel, The Registry Office and Ghan House in Carlingford.

I always like to give a senses of time and place to a couples wedding photographs. There is usually still enough light after the ceremony to get nice pictures outside. Our beautiful city makes for such a lovely backdrop to wedding photographs. Combined with the festive interior photographs adds more to the story of the day.

My Creative Approach

At anytime of year I always like to photograph a wedding in a natural, calm, artistic and unobtrusive way. Primarily I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss. I find brides look at their most beautiful when they do not feel like they have to pose for wedding photographs. I do have to give some small directions but it is very minor. If you leave people alone and to their own devises everyone looks at their very best.

For the bridal portraits I normally bring the bride and groom for a walk in the surrounding areas. Our beautiful city makes for the loveliest backdrop for wedding pictures. Couples feel like they are taking a nice walk after being married and not like they are posing for photographs.

I also like to keep the family pictures and natural and quick as possible. If there is room I ask people to walk towards the camera. I came up with this ides on the first wedding I every photographed. To break up the straight line and make the pictures more contemporary and natural. It gives people something to do and makes them smile of their own accord. It is also a bit of fun and people usually enjoy it.

Not liking having my photograph taken myself so I know how you feel. Most people who choose me to photograph their wedding dislike being photographed. However all couple tell me that they actually enjoyed the process. It ended ups being a lot of fun and it added to the happy memories of the day rather than taking away from it.

Small Christmas Wedding

Small is beautiful. I have photographed many small weddings and elopements over the years. If you are planning a small Christmas wedding, even with two guests, I can tell a nice story of your day and you will have lots of lovely Christmas wedding photographs.

Contact Deirdre

Given the current situation I am still able to capture your Christmas wedding beautifully whilst adhering to social distancing protocols. Technically I have to be at least 3 metres from the subject to achieve focus. Since I work in a natural and unobtrusive way I never need to touch or interfere in a scene.

Delighted everyone always is with their Christmas wedding photographs. This has always been one of the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me. If you like my wedding photographs and my style please feel free to call me anytime on my mobile at 087 995 1252. I would love to hear about your Christmas wedding plans.

Giving a sense of story and place to a couples wedding photographs is very important to me. On the doorstep of most wedding venues in Dublin, there are lovely locations for wedding photographs. For example Georgian Dublin, the banks of the Grand Canal, Dublin Castle and St. Stephen’s Green to name a few. 

My Wedding Photography Style

My style is natural, flattering and unobtrusive.

Firstly I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss. The only time a couple have to worry about me is for the bridal and family portraits. The rest of the time I photograph everything in a documentary style.

I try to keep the family and bridal portraits as natural looking as possible. I typically photograph the bride and groom taking a walk through an area of Dublin close to the wedding venue.

This approach makes the bride and groom feel like they are taking a nice walk on their wedding day and not posing for wedding photographs.

I do not ask brides to pose on their wedding day. As a result, I feel they look at their most beautiful. I also try to keep the family pictures as “unposed” as possible. Asking people to walk towards the camera achieves this.

Giving people something to do makes the pictures look less stiff.  I have noticed it makes people smile of their own accord.

My approach is especially good for people who do not like having their photograph taken. I do not like having my photograph taken myself so I understand how a bride and groom feel.

Overall I thing people do not really notice me. I do not like to impose myself on a couple’s wedding day.
