Katie and Paul...10th Anniversary Photo Shoot in Ireland at Ashley Park House in Nenagh


Katie is a photographer and Paul is a fireman in Kentucky...and they are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary this year. As a photographer, meaningful photographs celebrating life is important to her. So when they knew they would take a special anniversary trip to Ireland, Katie set about finding a photographer to document this moment in their lives as a couple. I feel really happy and lucky that Katie and Paul found me here in Ireland so that I could help them create a collection of evocative film photographs of their stay. I suggested Ashley Park House in Nenagh as the location for the shoot after doing a fantastic photoshoot there this past year. It was featured on blogs such as 100 Layer Cake and One Fab Day. Katie and Paul said that their stay there was one of the highlights of their trip, and that the dinner that night was like something out of Martha Stewart Living magazine! 
I love the colour and style of the clothes Katie and Paul choose for their shoot. Katie is a true artist. She made the feather sashes for her lace dress with antique brooches. These little details can make such an impact in your photographs.

Thank you so much to Katie and Paul for having me photograph your 10th Anniversary in ireland. What a wonderful gift to yourselves! And thank you to Ashley Park House for permission to shoot there during Katie and Paul's stay at the B&B.

And to anyone considering an Anniversary, Honeymoon, or Engagement session in Ireland....just do it! Time moves so quickly and it's so important to document your moment in time with the people you love in an artistic style that won't date.

I have extremely limited dates for these types of shoots open in 2013. Please inquire through my webpage here.

maire-therese and ken's elegant black-tie christmas wedding at finnstown house


When Maire-Therese first inquired about photographing her wedding, I was so excited because I remembered her being the beautiful bridesmaid at her cousin Keara's wedding I photographed a while ago. As she began to tell me more about the wedding, I was even more excited! Her and Ken's wedding would be unique because there wouldn't be a bouquet, there would be a First Look (where the bride and groom see each other before the wedding...PERFECT for winter weddings), they were walking down the aisle together at the church, and the look would be black tie and vintage. I love this girl! And I loved their wedding! So unique and they did it the way they wanted, which is what every couple in Ireland should do. Hope you enjoy this vintage wedding at the eccentric Finnstown House near Dublin (home to two friendly peacocks!) as much as I did. And congratulations to Maire-Therese and Ken!
