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.

Hampton Hotel Wedding

It was a lovely summers day for Louise and Damien at the registry office and their Hampton Hotel Wedding.

I always really enjoy photographing a Dublin registry office wedding because of all the nice backdrops in the surrounding areas. The most beautiful and historic areas of Dublin are right on the doorstep.

I have a favourite route that I like to take couples along after their registry office wedding. It takes in the banks of the Grand Canal, Georgian Dublin and finally to Merrion Square Park.

I find it makes couples feel like they were taking a nice walk through Dublin after the wedding.  It is not like they were posing for wedding photographs, it is also fun and relaxed.

I also came up with the idea recently of having the guest stand on the Locks crossing the canal for the group photograph which I think looks lovely.

That area of the canal is only a three-minute walk from the registry office. Thus, it is also very convenient for family pictures. It all makes for a lovely story of your wedding day.

The whole process from the registry office to Merrion square takes around 45 minutes. It will thus not take a lot of time out of your wedding day.

Given the current situation I am still able to capture your registry office wedding beautifully whilst adhering to social distancing protocols. I always photograph the portraits outside. Using some of the loveliest areas of Dublin that are close by. The Grand Canal and Georgian Dublin. I use a portrait lens so technically I have to be at least 3 metres from the subject to achieve focus. Capturing a wedding in a natural and unobtrusive way means I never need to touch or interfere in a scene. 

If you are getting married at the registry office or in Hampton Hotel wedding, please get in touch. I would love to hear about your wedding plans.

We returned to Finnstown house and for the bridal portraits. I photographed Julie and Mick’s walking through through the gardens at Finnstown House. This made Julie and Mick’s feel like they were talking a nice walk on their wedding day and not like they were posing for wedding photographs. I like to give a sense of story and place to a couple’s wedding photographs and the grounds and the exterior of Finnstown House also make for a great setting for the photographs. The interior of Finnstown House also made for lovely backdrops for the family pictures which I also made as natural looking as possible.

Julie and Mick’s were delighted with their photographs. It is always find 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 Finnstown House Wedding plans.

Dublin Wedding Photographer

Thank you for visiting my web site and I hope you enjoy the pictures. I am a Dublin wedding photographer with over 15 years of experience.

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.

Above all how happy couples have been with their wedding photographs is the most rewarding part of wedding photography for me.

So if you like my photographs and my style, please feel free to call me anytime on my mobile at 087 995 1252.
