Planning your wedding day ahead as much as possible is the key to having a relaxed day focused on spending time with guests and celebrating. I know it contradicts itself a bit, but trust me - I have photographed lots of weddings since 2017 in Ireland and abroad and I have seen things done right and things not done at all. No matter how casual and informal your day is going to be, people should know what’s happening and where.
Read MoreI am so pleased to be able to share with you this fabulous, super romantic and laid back French wedding of Aneta & Hugh. A true midsummers night dream of a wedding, romantic, elegant and a joy to witness. The couple got married at their private property by the river Dordogne, near Bergerac.
Read MoreNestled in the beautiful Côte d'Azur area of Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle is a small hilltop village with stunning views all around, little cobbled streets, fab restaurants and bakeries offering amazing french pastry. My partner and I arrived in France 2 days ahead of Dina & Victor’s wedding, so we could visit the venue, look around for some photo opportunities and get used to the extreme 40’C temperatures around the French Riviera. Dina, Victor, their Video Team and I met at La Forge restaurant in Ramatuelle at about 7 pm and went on an adventure around town ahead of their wedding the next day.
Read MoreGolden hour light looks magical in any place whether it’s a wedding in the Irish countryside or in Morocco. It’s often called ‘magic hour’ because of its ability to create stunning portraits and makes a whole lot of difference to any images. It’s when the light is the softest, the most flattering and the most romantic and super easy to work with.
Read MoreFor the past 3 years, I have been pretty committed to exploring Northern Ireland and it's raw coastline, forests and hidden gems, but I somehow managed to miss Islandmagee. It just never occurred to me it exists. It was a total blind spot until I heard about Rob's Heart & Soul workshop from my friends Sheena & Christin. They were raving about the workshop itself, the energy and fuel it gives, about the couples they were photographing and the location.
Fast forward to late May when I attend it, not only learned a thing or two about having a wedding photography business in Northern Ireland (and destination in my case!:)) but most of all met some amazing people. The couple that we were photographing on the island, Charlotte and Michael, are getting married in July and I'm more than sure they will make a wonderful bride and groom. I'm a huge fan of natural, sweet and candid photography focusing on the couple and their loved ones, and I always express how important it is to have your pre-wedding shoot. Not only because it's a great chance to bond a bit with your photographer, but also because on your wedding day you can focus on the moment, on being present and not on the fact that you are being photographed.
Islandmagee will be definitely joining my list of places to elope in Northern Ireland and I'm just delighted I was able to attend the workshop and make some new friends. Keep your eyes peeled for more of Charlotte and Michael, as they have agreed to help me with the secret project I'm planning for August.
Read MoreI'm so happy to be able to finally show you this creative elopement inspiration I photographed in April in the South of France. It has always been a big goal of mine to photograph a Destination Wedding in France and I truly couldn't have better clients and suppliers to work with. Lucy and Hayden are the sweetest coupe a photographer could ask for, an amazing team of vendors making all our ideas possible and a very private, romantic Château De Roussan. Every corner of this amazing, hidden provençal gem was photo-worthy, starting from the front entrance, long driveway, pool, garden and all the greenery around. Everything provided a stunning backdrop for our beautiful destination couple. We wanted this shoot to feel more like a luxury elopement at the French Château and give some ideas of how you can incorporate pastel pink, grey and Provence into your own wedding. I'm so excited for my upcoming destination weddings and I'm hoping to be back photographing a destination wedding in Provence soon!
Read MoreI am incredibly grateful for all the opportunities coming to my life every day - and I am blessed with the clients that I get. People like Eva & Killian who are true wandering souls just like me, they love new places, they love discovering. They are also incredibly kind, loving, comfortable in front of the camera and just happen to be stunningly beautiful.
It was my first time in Morocco and it won't be my last one - the smells, the bustle and the craziness of Moroccan drivers seem like a distant memory now, but the whole trip was a true experience. So different from typical holiday destination and yet so close to Europe. It won't be forgotten because it was also my first destination elopement wedding outside UK or Ireland.
Read MoreI recently came across my old website notes, the ones I made when creating the pricing, about me, and so on sections. One of them clearly said, amongst many locations one of the places I'd like to shoot was Provence. As always in my case, a ton of work plus piles of motivation lead us to the day Im finally able to show you my very recent engagement shoot in Provence. So far 2018 only prooves there is no dreams too small - first year as a self employed photographer and a big Love My Dress feature, shooting in Provance at the Chateau, fully booked for 2018 (the last date sold yesterday! :D), Florence, business grant and many, many more. If you follow me from the begining you know that I'm not a local - I don't have an army of aunts ready to share anything I post, don't have a hudge following. But the one I have is the strongest. A few brides will deffinitelly be awarded ''NUMBER ONE FAN'', that's how much love they are sharing. And for that I'm thankful.
