Frederic got in touch about his plans to propose t Frederic got in touch about his plans to propose to Vanessa during their surprise trip to Ireland on the May Day bank holiday. Given that Frederic and Vanessa are both photographers, it was such a privilege to be asked to photograph this special occasion!

They were staying at Ashford Castle which is where Frederic was wanted to propose. 

Once I arrived at the Castle, I tried to stay incognito while I waited for them to arrive. Aided by the guards on the bridge, we made sure it was clear before Frederic got down on one knee. 

Once Vanessa got over her shock, we took some photos around the beautiful grounds before heading onto the water to get some shots on Lough Corrig. Aided by Frank, we stopped on one of the islands and got some beautiful shots looking towards the Connemara mountains. What a special day! 

If you’re looking for the perfect place to propose in Ireland and want to find out more, please get in touch!

Christopher and Geraldine’s wedding on Saturday Christopher and Geraldine’s wedding on Saturday was great craic from start to finish. 

I was road tripping with Ellie from @chapterii.films which made the day even better! We dived into music nostalgia and blasted the tunes while eating our weight in sandwiches and Squares 🤤 

While Christopher wasn’t so keen on forgoing his dessert to take some golden hour photos, I think you’ll agree that it was totally worth it (good thing Geraldine put her foot down 🙈)! 

Here’s a few favourites from their day! I’ll be sharing lots more soon 😍

Once we’d finished getting portraits, Shane and Michaela were heading back to the golf cart. In the beautiful winter light, I took this shot and it’s one of my favourites of the day - I mean, look at that pure joy!

Saturday was my first time at Ballyscullion Park a Saturday was my first time at Ballyscullion Park and boy it didn’t disappoint! 

Shannon and Darren spent the whole day at Ballyscullion and the sun made its appearance for the whole of the afternoon and evening. There was a real garden party atmosphere as everyone soaked up the sun! 

We got some portraits at golden hour while the trees were bathed in golden light. It’s always worth taking 10 minutes in the evening to get a few more shots - you’ll be more relaxed and it’s a good way to unwind before the party starts! 

Can’t wait to be back here! If you are looking for a really chilled out venue, run to @ballyscullion_park!

I loved helping Collin plan his proposal to Allie I loved helping Collin plan his proposal to Allie - he had to keep the ring safe for 10-12 days on the holiday before he was able to get down on one knee! 

While he had originally wanted to propose at the Cliffs of Moher, the weather had other plans which meant he had to propose at the Gap of Dunloe. 

Just as Collin and Allie were making their way to the viewpoint, I heard a yell and found that Collin had just stepped in sheep poo! What a way to introduce myself in preparation for the proposal 🙈

Will and Charlene met at a country music event in Will and Charlene met at a country music event in Tullyglass so it was only fitting that they had their wedding there! 

We had lots of fun on their wedding day on Saturday - they smiled from start to finish, even when the best man forgot the rings and had to rush back to get them 🙈
