Star and JP in Sunny Killarney - County Kerry Ireland Engagement Session

This morning we're off the the sunny South West of Ireland. Killarney...to be exact. Star and JP, who are from the States, were on a vacation to Ireland and wanted to take the opportunity to have their engagement session done here. I do love these kinds of shoots and I was so flattered they chose me to photograph their stay in Killarney. They were very blessed indeed as their trip coincided with 2 FULL weeks of sunshine and no rain in Ireland!!!

Enjoy some of their favourites from their session at the beautiful Muckross House, Muckross Abbey and Ross Castle. All the best!

Deirdre and Andrew's Engagement Session in The Curragh and Pollardstown Fen, County Kildare....Fine-Art Film Photographer Ireland

During the cold snap at the end of March, I persuaded this lovely couple to have an engagement session in two gorgeous locations in County Kildare...The Curragh and Pollardstown Fen. Deirdre and Andrew were fantastic models, and I had a great time with them! I know Deirdre probably thought I was crazy when I suggested she go without a coat at Pollardstown Fen. It was freezing! But the golden sunset light, and the muted tones of the reeds and Deirdre's white floaty dress, made me feel like she was like a modern Cleopatra...in Ireland! 

I'm so grateful you have chosen me to photograph your wedding and I truly enjoyed creating this shoot together. Thanks again to Deirdre and Andrew! All of these photographs were shot on 35mm and medium format film which I am passionate about.

Classic Black and White Film for an Old Hollywood Style Bride

True black and white film like Ilford 3200 shot on a medium format camera has such a unique beautiful look. There is a depth to film that can't be replicated with digital, and this particular film has a beautiful grain structure. I love a classic black and white film portrait of the bride on her wedding day. This particular portrait of Rachel really has an Old Hollywood look that I simply adore!

A Bride's Smile on her Wedding Day

The beauty of a bride's smile as she puts on her wedding dress on her wedding day! I'm so priveliged to be able to witness this moment as a photographer! 

Niamh and Nicky, Elegant Christmas Wedding at Tankardstown, County Meath Ireland

Christmas weddings are very popular with Irish couples, and for a good reason. Everyone is home at the holidays, in a good mood, and the twinkling lights are very festive and romantic! But Christmas weddings and winter weddings can be a challenge for photographers....especially those in love with beautiful flattering natural light like moi! 

The day of Nicky and Niamh's wedding it rained, and was extremely windy and cold. The cozy olde world elegance and warmth of Tankardstown was especially inviting! Thankfully Niamh and Nicky's ceremony was early (please winter brides...schedule your ceremonies for 1pm!!!), and we were able to get a few photographs outside before the magical winter light went away. You can't even tell how freezing cold Nicky and Niamh are and I thank you immensely for suffering for art!

Niamh's gorgeous gown is Amanda Wakely from Myrtle Ivory. It suits her quiet elegance perfectly I think! Especially with her Charlene Theron-eque hairstyle expertly coiffed by hairstylist to the stars, Michael Leong. Classic make-up by Adele Miley, and the flowers were bound to be amazing by the wonderful French Touch. Niamh and Nicky's cake was a perfect "cheese" cake by Sheridan's Cheesemongers of Dublin...like a Renaissance painting!

Hope you enjoy the low-light black and white film portraits from Niamh and Nicky's beautiful day! A big congratulations to the bride and groom and all the best in your new life together!
