It was a lovely summer’s day for Deirdre and Donal’s Fallon and Byrne wedding. Primarily I like to photograph a wedding in a natural and unobtrusive way. To keep things simple and not make a fuss. Deirdre and Donal chose me for this reason. In particular they were looking for natural wedding photographs.

We started the wedding photographs in St. Stephen’s Green before the ceremony. Firstly photographing Deirdre and Donal walking through the park. Thus they felt like they were taking a nice walk on their wedding day. As a result, they did not feel like they were posing for wedding photographs.

After we met with both their families at the bandstand in St. Stephen’s Green which makes for a nice backdrop for photographs. The grass beside the bandstand is actually a very quiet area. So on a Saturday, it is a good spot for family pictures.

I also like to make family pictures as natural looking as possible also. 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. Also, I find it makes people smile of their own accord. I came up with this idea on the very first wedding I ever photographed. It makes the pictures more contemporary and natural.

Then it was then on to Fallon & Byrne for a lovely wedding ceremony which included a Celtic hand-fasting ceremony. After the ceremony, we did some pictures in the laneways around Fallon & Byrne to give a mix of the urban and nature to the wedding photographs. Deirdre and Donal were delighted with their wedding photographs. This is one of the most rewarding parts of wedding photography for me.

If you like my Fallon & Byrne 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 Fallon & Byrne Wedding plans.

Say “I do” at a Dublin Zoo Wedding

A Dublin Zoo wedding will be an unforgettable day for you both and your guests. What a lovely thing to do, getting married at the Zoo. If you are looking for a unique wedding venue in Dublin, the Zoo is a beautiful backdrop for your wedding day.

Dublin Zoo, opened in 1831, is one of the world’s oldest and most popular zoos.

The unusual setting also makes for wonderful picture opportunities for you wedding day.

Haughton House, a restored historical building with sweeping views of the Zoo is a beautiful setting for your wedding ceremony. Available 7 days a week for all types of wedding ceremonies.

After your wedding ceremony, Haughton House also makes for great backdrop for the group photograph of you wedding guests.

I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and I bring a natural, artistic, calm and down to earth approach to your wedding day.

I like to keep things simple and not make a fuss which brides have always appreciated. My approach is also perfect for people who do not like having their photograph taken. The majority of couples who choose my services do not but they always say they actually ended up enjoying the experience.

In order to make the pictures as natural and easy as possible I bring the couple for a walk around the venue. This makes them feel like they are taking a nice walk after being married and not posing for wedding photographs.

I had the pleasure of photographing Ruth and Ronald’s wedding at the Zoo. The grounds of the Zoo provided beautiful backdrops for Ruth and Ronald’s wedding photographs particularly the Historic Roberts house and Haughton House.

I photographed the majority of Ruth and Ronald’s Dublin Zoo wedding in a natural and unobtrusive way. I feel brides look at their most beautiful if they are left alone and not heavily posed. Everyone can enjoy their day more if they do not have to worry about posing for photographs.

After a beautiful ceremony in the Haughton House we set off for a walk around the surrounding Zoo area for wedding pictures. Ruth and Ronald felt like they were taking a nice walk through the Zoo and not posing for wedding pictures. What a lovely thing to do after getting married.

It was then on to The Anglers Rest for the reception. It’s rustic charm is always a lovely backdrop for pictures. I have been a guest at weddings there myself and the food is delicious. There is also a lovely ambience to the place.

Ruth and Ronald were delighted with their wedding photographs. They thought that they looked beautiful and very natural. This is always one of the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me.

Anglers Rest Wedding

It is always a pleasure to photograph an Anglers Rest wedding. If you are looking for an alternative wedding venue in Dublin this is perfect. It’s picturesque location next to the banks of the Liffey at the Strawberry Beds makes it a more relaxed venue near the city. Just minutes from Dublin City but it has a countryside feel to it. The Phoenix Park is also just up the road for additional beautiful backdrops for your wedding photographs.

I like to photograph a wedding in a natural and unobtrusive way. This is why Sarah and Colm choose me to photograph their wedding. They did not normally like having their photograph taken. So my style was perfect for them.

I do not like having my photograph taken myself so I know how people feel. That said couples always say how much they actually enjoyed the process which was a surprise to them.

I feel brides look at their most beautiful on their wedding day when you leave them alone and do not pose the. Guests also enjoy the day more if you cover a wedding unobtrusively.

Even in smaller venues I have a way of blending into the background so people do not really notice me. So I can capture the atmosphere of the day without intruding on it.

There was a beautiful, personal and unique wedding ceremony in the Collins Room.

The grand piano and fireplace in the fireplace in the Salmon room are a lovely backdrop for family pictures. I always keep these as natural and relaxed as possible.

The Phoenix Room with it’s stone walls, chic gold chairs and elegant hanging chandeliers is a beautiful setting for a wedding reception. It’s rustic charm is always a lovely backdrop for pictures. I have been a guest at weddings there myself and I can attest that the food is delicious. There is also a lovely ambience to the place.

Most importantly Sarah and Colm were delighted with their wedding photographs. They thought that they looked beautiful and very natural. This is always one of the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me.
