There have been a few funny stories between the Weir family and me, but possibly the funniest one dates back to 2016, of how we met. I have never photographed a wedding at that stage, but I had 2 booked for late summer and autumn and I knew I want to pursue it. Tasha dropped me an email because she was pregnant and she liked the look of my baby photography. I wasn't overly professional at that stage, so I read her email exactly a month after she sent it. Boy, was I mad at myself. But if you ever talked to Tasha you know, that these small things are not a problem for her. She is a pure walking kindness.
Read MoreWhen I first arrived in Northern Ireland in 2014 to study Politics & Journalism I signed up for a Photo Society at Queens University. I had a big passion for photography and wanted to learn and improve my style. For the next couple of months, I travelled the coast of Northern Ireland nearly every weekend with friends I met at the society. Then with friends who visited me here. Then with my boyfriend Neil, whom I also met at the photo society. Little did I know, four years later my love for Northern Ireland will continue to grow and my love for photography.. well, it will reach the next level. It will become my lifestyle, my daily bread, my ups and downs (mostly ups tho!) and I'll be able to share with you my puppy love photos and videos of Northern Ireland I took nearly 4 years ago.
If you're planning an engagement shoot or an elopement in Northern Ireland - or simply want to walk down memory lane with me, here are some of my absolute favourite locations.

The second part of my Italian images arrived - Kinga & Radu wondering about gorgeous Italian Villa in Tuscany, this time pure wedding portraits and beautiful surroundings. We had an opportunity to work with the most amazingly creative sisters from Puscina Flowers (providing the flowers and location, styling by Chic Weddings Italy, previous shoot check here) and they kindly agreed to have some photos taken outside their amazing house and garden.
Read MoreTo be able to photograph a wedding in Tuscany was a dream of mine and I'm so happy I was finally able to travel to Florence and experience my story of joyfulness and awe. My first ever Tuscan experience couldn't be more eccentric - or perhaps I should say it couldn't be more Italian!
Read MoreKatja & Rian wanted their engagement photos to look bright, airy & editorial like, which I was more than happy to make possible for them. We started brainstorming over a possible location a few weeks before the shoot and we both agreed that The Palm House in Botanic will be our best bet. It was mostly due to Northern Irish weather - February wasn't a particularly bright month and the only place with the abundance of fresh flowers and light would be the Palm House. We also exchanged many photos with outfit options - I have never been so close to planning an engagement outfit with a bride! Hands down most curated & stylish engagement shoot to date.
